For all the nice people on BlueSky .

Something a little different from what I usually make. I hope you enjoy this little tale. 😽🤍

This is what putting South Carolina first looks like. I’m honored to have the support of two former governors — Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges. We may not agree on everything, but we share a belief that matters most: S.C. deserves leaders who will always put its people first.

This is Lek Chailert, founder of Elephant Nature Park in Thailand. Follow on IG or FB for daily doses of joy... or better yet, visit and volunteer! She's an amazing person, changing the lives of elephants throughout Asia through education and tireless advocacy

It takes a village of eccentrics, misfits, odd people, dreamers, shouters, lovers, and resisters….working in common cause for justice and peace. We need all of us. #Resist #ArtQuilt #QuiltSky #StandTogether

For Africa, climate change is not about the future. It's about now. Our crops failing, our lakes shrinking, our people displaced — while boardrooms thousands of miles away count record profits. We don't have a climate problem. We have a justice problem. #ClimateJustice

Your bank account means nothing on a dead planet.

If a tech company told you their device was 8-12x more effective and 100x cheaper than competitors, you’d fund it instantly. That device exists. It’s called an existing forest. Fund forest protection like critical infrastructure.

Please be the first to like, comment, and repost if you believe the remaining forests of the Amazon and Congo Basin must be protected. No to deforestation. No to ecocide.

It’s been stated that everything that can be said, has been said. Perhaps, but I think that is limiting and dismissive towards the capacity of individual human expression. Muses live and breathe. They come to you unannounced. They whisper to your heart. Listen and create or they will move on.

Truth 👇

For years scientists warned: Clear 20-25% of the Amazon and it collapses. We've cleared 17%. This isn't a future problem. It's happening now.

Girlfriend and I adopted this dude from a shelter. He follows her everywhere and does this when she sits down.

Pope Leo at Angelus: “Dear friends, this is precisely what it means to ‘give to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s:’ to be truthful, free from servile fear or hypocrisy, free to do good.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

Feeling proud to be an American! It’s been awhile…

If I were in Kushner's shoes, I wouldn't mess with the Albanians….

Well done all you people going about on No kings day .

Before Trumpism Came To Town....

Americans no longer have the slightest idea what it means to be a decent human being. That’s why they elected Trump, and filled Congress and the Senate with despicable Republican sycophants.

Horses .. acrylic .. I used to work near lots of them .. wonderful but sensitive creatures .

Thought for the Day…

Soil. Water. Air.forests. No economy has ever been built without them. Every economy has collapsed after destroying them.

The 3 Pillars of the SDGs are simple but powerful: People, Planet, Prosperity. If development harms one, it fails all. True progress lifts communities, protects ecosystems, AND builds inclusive economies. No pillar left behind. #SustainableDevelopment #GlobalGoals
