Once upon a time I was struggling & Uncle Wendell, with a firm grip on my shoulder said, “Times are too dire to be anything but hopeful.” Unforgettable, especially that evening at Tanya Berry’s table red-cheeked and laughing, having imbibed just the right amount of bourbon 🕊️

12 years into launching acceleratingappalachia.org/b… the A TEAM emerges! Brilliant, collaborative, organized, proactive and..FUN! Ok, so our recent $20M award to fund farmers to adopt regenerative ag likely helped 😅 Farmer applications open #persist #regenerativeag

One thing that's been reaffirmed to me during this #Helene disaster in #NorthCarolina: We have a lot of crises in the U.S., but few are as significant as the information crisis. People are lying to us to make us hate each other, to get our money, to boost some cause or another.

Goodbye beloved Uncle Hugh - you were a peace warrior for the ages. Quit the ministry to walk a truly brave path in war-torn countries rebuilding what our country destroyed. A true servant of the people, a true Quaker. Grieving your exit my dear one & only uncle, I 🤍 you 🕊️💔☮️

WOW!!! Way to go Europe! Nature bats last folks, it’s best we follow her lead 🌱 – at Kentucky, USA
Nature Restoration Law has been adopted by the European Parliament 🎉🎉🎉 We have defeated the attempts to block action on climate change and biodiversity loss. I am bowled over.

Calling this Rhizome Cake, it’s sweet, not savory. A Japanese fluffy cake, made with my own cultured vanilla yogurt instead of cream cheese. Like a firm custard cake. The mushrooms are an accident of my meringue that didn’t work out. But they did. Pleased with it 🍄

Ecomodernism - groovy eco-philosophy that tells mostly urbanized, highly educated, white-collar folks that although the Earth is in danger, their lifestyles are not. Perfect for inserting a do-gooder vibe into political and business circles, and then fundraising. – at Frankfort, KY
Saying NO to Ecomodermism. Smaje Versus Monbiot, It’s No Contest! Great review of @csmaje's new book which does more than just take down Monbiot & the broader ecomodernist philosophy but points to the ecological alternative to farm-free synthetic food resilience.org/stories/2023-…

#uclaclassof2023 #finearts She graduated with a 4.0 but neglected to mention that to her parents 🤨 and decided she didn’t need the honors sash because it cost $50. She is purely devoted to her art, and we are beaming 💛💙 👩🏻‍🎓#prazdellavade #firstexhibit – at Los Angeles, CA
