A wild Venus Flytrap in the Green Swamp, North Carolina, USA, in a Longleaf Pine Savannah. Picture taken December 28th, 2011. We saw a lot of flytraps that day - we specifically went to look for them. It took us over an hour to find the first one, and then we spotted them all over the place.

There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on
Empty chairs at empty tables
Now my friends are dead and gone

Calling them โ€œHealth Insurersโ€ is a misnomer. Health Care Denial Enforcers is more like.



Festivales de Resistencia


Te invitamos a unirte a la organizaciรณn de festivales de resistencia el fin de semana del 18 de enero, inmediatamente antes de la toma de posesiรณn de Donald Trump.

crimethinc.com/festivalsofresiโ€ฆ

Si nos organizamos antes de la toma de posesiรณn de Trump, podremos tomar la iniciativa y establecer nuestro propio calendario en lugar de que nos pille desprevenidos y nos obligue a reaccionar. Tenemos que dar la bienvenida a nuevos participantes en estas luchas y fomentar una perspectiva revolucionaria que pueda orientarnos en los retos que tenemos por delante.

Munther Isaac, the pastor of the Christmas Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bethlehem, says Americans are singing about #Bethlehem at Christmas without knowing what is happening there.

Many churchgoers and decorations are notably absent from Bethlehem this year as Israeli forces set up checkpoints and other restrictions, preventing Palestinian Christians from visiting the city in the occupied West Bank.

I saw my first Cybertruck yesterday. It really does look like a dumpster. It looks so cheap! And it doesn't deliver the performance as advertised at all. I can't believe people would buy this.


TIL that Cuchara Mountain, a small ski area in Southern #Colorado has been reopened by a group of deeply committed volunteers with some help from a Colorado non-profit. Cuchara was operating when I was a high school kid in the 80s but was shuttered in 2000. The volunteers havenโ€™t got the old chair lift working yet, but theyโ€™ve rigged up a kind of โ€œsnow busโ€ pulled by a snowcat to get folks up the mountain. A lift pass for the day is $40, pretty affordable. cucharamountainpark.org/

I got a little misty hearing about this. Skiing was so important to me growing up in Colorado in the 70s. Back then it was something that working class families could afford: $8-12 lift tickets + there were cheap buses to the slopes. It was the one athletic skill I really mastered and my first taste of adult-like independence. I could even afford to pay for a skiing date without access to a car. Today a lift ticket can cost $300 and most ski areas are playgrounds for the relatively rich.

@davidtoddmccarty ha ha, yeah. I would sometimes add a free Sunday by showing up in the line with a day-old ticket and taking my chances. When youโ€™re 13 years old and sporting ancient yard sale equipment theyโ€™d often wink and wave you on through. ๐Ÿ˜…
