"The Whole World is Laughing at You, Donald Trump"
An anti-Trump protestor in Washington Square Park in New York City holds a sign that says, "The Whole World is Laughing at You, Donald Trump," while other signs say, "Resist," and #goodtrouble
"Doug Ford is, aside from a serial privatizer, a guy who likes easy projects, like handing out a gas tax cut, buck a beer, etc, but he skirts the really hard files because he doesn't have the patience [intelligence] or risk tolerance to tackle them unless a crisis is forced upon him.
Premier Ford cares about the limelight [and being liked by his buddies] but a lot of the grunt work of good government is in planning, implementation and followup."
Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.
The March on Washington was the product of a long and arduous journey. Each moment built upon the previous one, generating momentum and solidarity among civil rights activists. By the time the march occurred in 1963, it stood on the shoulders of decades of activism, struggle, and resilience.
I still cannot get over the wonder and mystery of what gall wasps can do to plants. This is bio-engineering! The wasp lays her egg and somehow the plant makes a structure that is not a fruit, it is not a seed, it is not a leaf or stem. It's a wholly recombinant architecture customized to the needs of the growing young larva. The plant provides food and shelter-- It's like a cancer, but with a purpose.
During this time #johnlewis said it was important to engage in
⭕"good trouble, necessary trouble"
in order to achieve change and he held to this credo throughout his life
"“When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have to speak up. You have to say something; you have to do something."—John Lewis #GoodTrouble#nonviolence Fight White Supremacy.
"UPS strike would trigger pandemic-era supply chain issues, expert says"
Yes, this is the point of going on strike, to draw attention to the work that the workers do that's not getting adequately acknowledged with appropriate compensation and benefits

My husband got inspired by a picture I took last summer of a bombas melanopygus bumble bee on an agastache he had planted. So of course, he planted about 500 square feet of agastache, achillea, and asclepias in this section of the parkway strip between the sidewalk and the curb. The planting has a gentle hum from all the winged visitors. #GoodTrouble#PollinatorGardens
