Walking in our farm's rainforest with the melting heat of these days, I am filled with such inexpressible anger at what is being done to our once stable climate. The richest 1% are actively, knowingly, and uncaringly sabotaging the future for all of us, and for the rest of the planet's life.

I'm never going to get over the fact that the president of the United States paid a woman more than $5 million after a jury found him liable for raping her. And he's still president. And people still support him. Never. Get. Over. It.

Well shit. Few minutes ago I was sitting outside, lots of plane traffic per usual. Listening to a propeller plane when all of the sudden its engine stopped. Like really stopped. I watched the plane do a U-turn and head back towards Arlington Airport. Really hope it managed to land safely.
