A visitor

Hard to tell whether this critter is trying to get in the front door -- or perhaps just resting. Fortunately, it's not in the cats' view.

Anyone know the species?

WHAT IS TO BE DONE?

Living amidst violence rapidly constricting hope for a safer, sustainable, more equitable, and happier community and nation, what is to be done?

There's more to be done than I can envision or perhaps even imagine. People who suffer -- whether for being different, for trying to control their bodies, from randomly encountering some gun fetishist, from climate disruption, or simply for lacking cash -- need to be cared for. In some places and moments, some people have to raise a ruckus in the streets.

Let us explore together.
