Kristi Noem is lying when she claims ICE’s operation β€œCatch of the Day” is about illegal immigration. Maine is ranked 47 on the list of states by number of undocumented immigrants. Nearly dead last. Maine won’t be silenced or bullied.

It's the spare head that really does it for me. If I had an angry shocked head that I could take off and set aside, and replace with my logical, sleuthing mind...well... productivity would improve, for certain.
Well, that and the manual typewriter. πŸ˜€

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

It's time to get it together.

These are just some big, fat, juicy cranberry-colored Peking Glass beads from my collection. Just because they make me happy. I hope you like them too.
Happy Monday!

The waterfall in back always brings to mind E St V Millay:
By digging hard I might deflect
that river, my mind, that uncontrollable thing,
Turgid and yellow, strong to overflow its banks in spring, carrying
away bridges

These particular morning glories always appear to me to have a light turned on in their wee little middles.
Wouldn't that be grand?

A little break from the mainstream; this is taken from my kayak in the middle of Blackman Stream, just floating along through the lily pads on an impossibly hot summer's day.
Summer's coming, you guys.
