Vermont Conversation: Writer and organizer Bill McKibben on how the renewable energy revolution can bolster democracy - VTDigger “Four years ago or so we passed some invisible line where it became cheaper to produce power from the sun and the wind than from burning things. And that's a completely epochal moment."

“There is one good thing happening that actually has the capacity to help not only with the climate crisis but also with the crisis of inequality and democracy” - @billmckibben.bsky.social on Vermont Conversation @vtdigger.bsky.social vtdigger.org/2025/08/27/v...

Champlain Valley Fair. We ate ice cream, ogled the giant pumpkin, and I chatted with State Police at their table. I asked about speed limits, he said he doesn’t stop speeders on 89 unless they’re going 80+; I chickened out and didn’t ask if he was a trumper and would he detain me if I did 81 mph.

At least you’re admitting you were wrong.

America is turning on itself. That’s how it feels, and it is horrible. No imminent foreign threat; it’s him, and all of them, and us.

Thanks! I’m discussing that with my husband now! He sort of defended them because “auto spell” but yes, loose and lose has turned into an editing bugaboo. I don’t know why, though. It’s easy to catch.

Oh, 3 guesses

Bernie is my home

I’ve noticed; children are groomed about various issues via parents, media, education, tik tok etc. My parents, now deceased, were also groomed and brainwashed. Direct line - Rush Limbaugh and Fox. It was difficult to witness.

Trump Takes Aim at Law Firm Aiding Jack Smith The move, signed by President Trump on Thursday, is a major escalation of his promise to pursue perceived foes.

It’s not a president’s job to punish lawyers who represent clients he doesn’t like any more that it’s his job to give preference to media outlets that give him favorable coverage. This is a redline for democracy. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/u...

My sister in law became a U.S. citizen in 2018 💙

We wouldn’t have it any other way.

we’ve normalized destruction so much that protecting an ancient forest is seen as radical

I was able to block

I’m on my way to the garden center. A new houseplant is a child- sized band aid for where we are now. A way we can work through this is to consider how so often, great and positive change doesn’t occur without discomfort and strife. Although I am pre-grieving the harm and suffering that may come. 💙☮️

Thank you

I mean, come on. Adorable, right? His first day home with us. Luca June 2015. I rescued him from a local religious compound.

Current resident feline, Pip. We are down in our numbers lately. Sadly.

Friends, are we going to move to Blue, or not? Meta maka me leave FB. I like IG, it’s where I’ve been living, so I need a new place to occasionally hang out. Cat photos coming soon. Then my book. Then I’m going to search for longtime friends. You know, the friends we have made since “2008?” 😉
