I am told, by a man retweeting himself, that he has succeeded in engineering my “downfall”, as evidenced by the fact that I…wrote an essay. 😂 The narcissism of mediocre cranks.

Fort Bragg drops its confederate moniker, becomes Fort Liberty https://thegrio.com/2023/06/02/fort-bragg-drops-its-confederate-moniker-becomes-fort-liberty/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #BLM
One thing I love about Mastodon is the #Inclusive environment. So, to those who do not post alt text with their pics, I ask you to please learn how. Please include #blind people like me in your posts. If you're not sure how to write alt text, I can teach you how. And to those of you who *are* including alt text, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
@StillIRise1963 they will be debating the merits of 'both sides' while they're on the trains to the deathcamps...

Napa Morning
I love driving up into the Napa Valley in the late fall and early spring in the early morning. The weather is cooler and the roads are less crowded. On top of that the sun is lower in the sky and seems to create excellent lighting of the vineyards.
I found this scene in the northern part of the valley just south of Calistoga. See the full image here: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/napa-morning-bill-gallagher.html #NapaMorning #BillGallagherPhotography #AYearForArt #BuyIntoArt #NapaValley #Calistoga #Vineyard #Agriculture

Holy cow, this plot twist. All I’m saying is that when I write the book, somewhere near Chapter 9 or so, there’s a turn of events that’s so absolutely wild and completely unforeseen that you’re going to think it’s make-believe.
Just marking the date as my head spins. Never mind me. Carry on. Happy Friday indeed!
Pileated Woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus)
This is a male pileated woodpecker, I took this photograph a few months ago. I saw a couple yesterday, but just a quick glimpse They landed in a nearby pine tree on their way somewhere to the west. That's how most of the forest birds move around, small hops from tree to tree. I suppose it's safer.

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
