wow. And that little one let you pick them up? We've seen a lot of baby bunnies around here but that one is so very small to be out of the burrow.

Everyone had to stop for the mama turkey and her huge brood of fledgling chicks to cross the road. There were at least ten of them and some weren’t sure which side of the road they wanted to be on. Big project for mom!

oh my goodness. I’m glad you’re out of the hospital! Sounds like quite a shock. Wishing you a steady recovery and endless appreciation for the preciousness of life.

Thinking about what to do in these times:
* train my mind daily to be more courageous, less self-centered and less comfort-seeking (#dharma)
* prepare for the worst while acting as if already free
* study history, especially of resistance movements
* lighten up on possessions, be ready to move
* find local people to organize with, form a network for mutual aid
* prepare to take in vulnerable people seeking refuge

This extraordinary book (published originally in Spanish 6 years ago) has been translated to English for the 30 year anniversary of the highly successful Zapatista rebellion in Chiapas. I’m so looking forward to the release in September.
Meantime I have committed to improve my Spanish—rusty from long disuse—and read the original book in its entirety. The Spanish edition is available as a free PDF download here: https://www.caminoalandar.org/post/libro-rebeld%C3%ADa-resistencia-y-autonom%C3%ADa-la-experiencia-zapatista-j%C3%A9r%C3%B4me-baschet

Ok had to edit this to get the Taylor Swift reference right 😅

It’s me. Hi. I’m the problematic guy in a FaceTime call on his phone while shopping in the grocery store.
Just know that my mom is 86, disabled and in a nursing home, and she loves these occasions when she can “get out” with me while I’m doing chores, cleaning barn stalls or running errands. Compared to the usual couch-based call these brighten her up and fill her with all kinds of questions and comments about my life. The smiles per hour go way up!
Thank you for your patience! 🙏

Monday is a big day, 8 months in the preparation: first demo of our rooftop solar site modeling platform to a prospective customer. Wouldn’t you know the prospect is only the largest residential solar installer in the US. No pressure. 😅 😬
Our little company is just me and my wife now because we didn’t have money to pay the colleague who worked with us earlier. He got a real job!
It would be very nice to get a paying customer, so wish us luck.

May I present Frank the Frog, a very solid chonk for #FatFrogFriday ?

Being with, watching, and caring for animals is the main way modern humans maintain their sanity.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Universities that invite cops to riot against their own students and faculty rather than divest from a genocide? What a world. 😣
