As the fleeting final moments of
#summer
seem to float through outstretched hands, I feel myself embodied in this

A straight & upright citizen, but one reaching out in all directions to soak up each & every morsel that makes this season feel so free!

This epidemiologist sure does hope so!
And if you’ve gotten out of the habit because society makes this simple choice so much harder than it needs to be, fingers crossed this hashtag inspires you to start again.
#CovidIsNotOver
, so masking is community care!
#YallMasking
I got KN95 masks recently thanks to a kind person buying them for me from my wishlist, but surgical masks were all I could afford when I took this picture.
I wanted to show some of us poor people also do what we can to protect ourselves and our community.

The

's golden glory lies upon the ground this

Too little rain to replenish roots, too few cool nights to make sap flow, mere moments of attention.
We're already losing the fiery flares of fall: what's next to come?

Sometimes a trip to the

As one who finds as much connection here as

Some trees struggle to qualify for

As an

Sometimes it's best to shift your gaze off center, to discover the subtler pleasures that lay just outside the frame.

As a child, I learned that you can use the moss on the north side of

Here in

Seeing such a small child in such a big hospital bed is always distressing.
Knowing Tharnicaa will be all alone after she's been evacuated due to
#AusPol
's continuing insistence on treating her family like criminals instead of sending them
#HomeToBilo
is absolutely disgusting.

Like this
#tree
, not all of us take root in our customary homes, and as transplants we often face sone extra struggles.
A gentle request on this
#ThickTrunkTuesday
to embrace your neighbors who have come from afar, because the world is a much richer place for this diversity.

It's the
#LongestDay
in the Northern Hemisphere, &, for far too many, it's also the hottest.
Like the
#SummerSolstice
, some of nature's rhythms remain unaltered by humanity.
Others, however, are being driven into disorder by our failure to
#ActOnClimate
, to truly see the light.

This is only my second contribution to
#AdoorableThursday
, but the entryways here on the Iberian peninsula are simply so grand, displaying the influence of so many different cultures along with the imprints of their talented makers, that I simply can’t resist!

Often the steps appear steep in a

I lasted 4 years & 4 months as a NOVID (due to regular vaccinations & consistent masking), but no longer.
Despite feeling absolutely terrible, I didn’t get a positive RAT until Day 5.
A reminder that
#CovidIsNotOver
& of
#PublicHealth
’s failure to perform its central task.

We've also never fully eradicated polio, in part due to the U.S. government's decision to use a fake Hepatitis B

Today's been a rough one + there are undoubtedly many more to come, because that's what happens when living a life.
May we all be granted a moment like this: a simple act (even performed somewhat begrudgingly) that utterly transforms someone else's life for the better!

As this
#WorldEnvironmentDay
comes to a close on a
#MushroomMonday
, I turn to this simple stunner from the kingdom of fungi to see the deep interdependence of life.
A tree that fell long ago, moss making the
#mushrooms
a home, + verdant vines winding their way through it all.

Oceans, rivers, + lakes sometimes grab all the attention, but other forms of
