Accurate. Probably a little too accurate.

Make time to celebrate the Redheads in your life today 😉

Made my voice heard by casting my early ballot today. Our SC Republican legislators are trying to rig the district maps, so go vote now!

Each step in nature gives us a chance to stand in wonder. Appreciating the little things on my therapeutic walk around Conestee Park.

South Carolina’s GOP just changed the rules mid-fight to limit lawmakers to one amendment each. This rule change will make it much easier to rush through passage of the gerrymander.

After Trump’s interference in Indiana’s state elections, I fully expect the same here in South Carolina. Redistricting is now a litmus test of loyalty to the regime. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Trump tells SC Republicans to be ‘bold and courageous’ ahead of vote on redistricting

The work goes on. Each time we show up, our voices are stronger. Another opportunity to show folks they are not alone. Making good trouble, necessary trouble. On to the next.

Come out to support First Amendment rights in Mauldin, SC. Hold up a flag, stand with us, or just bear witness. Everyone who wants to reject the city blocking our right to protest is welcome.

Amazing skies afire with cotton candy fluff. Nature heals us, even when things are rough down here on the ground. Often find my head in the clouds anyway.

Governors should serve *all* the people of their state, not just their preferred party or class. On Monday, we had the opportunity to renounce Nancy Mace for her gubernatorial campaign stop in Simpsonville.

This weekend the police in Mauldin, SC came out to give a written warning for using our First Amendment rights. In case of fascism, break rules.

Check out this hot new billboard in Greenville, SC. Our friends in the Backyard Alliance made it happen. Next month we Send Lindsey Home.

Skip work and shopping (big corporations) today for #MayDay. Our united power as labor and consumers is one of the only guardrails left for a corrupt state. Now is the time to use your voice. Every worker, everywhere.

Proud parent of a future Catamount. On to the next educational adventure!

Living life corvid-coded. Times are tough, so shriek at your friends and gather your glimmers. If you can make treasure out of trash, seize the day.

Of course South Carolina’s GOP is pushing the most extreme anti-choice bill possible. South Carolina’s women will lose their rights and suffer from this attack on healthcare. Everyone should call their state senator to denounce S. 1095 www.abccolumbia.com/2026/04/21/n...

Not every moment can be joyful. All the pains, struggles, and heartbreaks are just as meaningful as the happy times. Maybe even more so for the way they bend our identity toward a new us.

Taking out the trash in downtown Simpsonville. I am grateful for all the volunteers who help cleanup our little piece of the community. Even get a little sign out of the deal.

Cherish the world we’ve got. Once we trade it in for silicon chips, we’ll never be able to look our grandkids in the eye.

Stumbled upon this stoic chap fishing while pondering at the pond. Incredible listener, not much of a conversationalist.

Solidarity not Charity. Everyone who came out got access to food, clothes, and hygiene supplies. Our Upstate Food Not Bombs volunteers are amazing!

Design flaw 101. Even with nice curving pathways, people tend to walk towards where they want to go. Sidewalks have to match actual human behavior.

A simple act of kindness feels good in a tough week. Taking a moment to help and exhausted bee with some sugar water. Every lil’ guy needs help now and again.
