I have new artwork created from an eagle I photographed. It speaks for itself I think, however, I needed a few more words to go with it.

This article in the guardian is promising.

We have the power to make that number much higher. This isn’t just shopping… in drastic times one must make some changes and embrace change. If media is owned by biased, and fascist entities then it’s time to bow out of that relationship as well. There are social media choices to be embraced. Let’s send a message that we are not playing in that sand box anymore.

I have heard a lot of folks talking about substack… here’s more info on that story

If we believe that we can do nothing , then we are inviting fascism. Oh it’s here already… the control is thru misinformation or MISSING or SKEWED, BIASED OR HATEFUL information.

Can we find another way? Facebook is easy and convenient and often super helpful in connecting with people but if we don’t find a substitute or use our phone to call instead then we submit to oh well , I can’t do anything? Amazon, … again convenient. It’s ALL these conveniences that will indeed, do us in?

We need to stop feeding these criminals our money and time. Can’t live without social media? Try blue sky or flashes.

I will say it wasn’t easy for me. I’m addicted as the next person to perusing Facebook, and seeing what everyone is up to, but it is not reality and it isn’t necessary to be happy or engaged in real life. That said, it is indeed time to give Zuckerberg a really COLD shoulder, not just on boycott day….

My photos are still being posted to Bluesky at perrydachtyl.bsky.social if you want to see them.

Find your joy.

Find your joy with a little less convenience. Make every choice count in your day. Spread light. Be honest. Help out a neighbor. Read a book … go outside …tend your garden. Tend your community.

Please seriously just think about stop feeding all these criminal beasts. We need to FAST . Reset. Breathe. Act consciously.

If a nazi started a new social media group I’m sure you wouldn’t sign up. The excuse that it’s already here and everyone uses it and the misinformation won’t affect me, is an excuse. Divorce!!! Then text your sister or friend or neighbor. There are other less convenient ways to express and be seen or heard. As for Amazon and Target, there are certainly other places to obtain goods.

Spread love and light and FUCK HATE.

We will be returning to photographs of nature, birds, ceramics, mosaics and much more. After this crucial message…
