“December. Mahlandia, Australia.
Here in Australia global warming has got so hot that we have ignited. In the last three weeks over 2 million acres of eucalyptus forest have gone up in smoke in the State of Victoria. It is summer here. And what a summer! The hottest and driest ever.

Fran at Rainbow’s End, writing in Maize: A Lesbian Country Magazine:
Oregon Women’s Land Trust’s property, Owl Farm, is facing a serious threat from energy companies and the US government. A natural gas pipeline right-of-way has been proposed through Owl Farm. It would require a 95′ wide clearcut for about 2,400 feet (almost a […]
I was seriously ambivalent about attending this group, which was advertised as “Creating Peace through Dialogue.” I was hopeful, because after all I want peace as much as the next person–but skeptical, because so often things that are focused on “communication” are stubbornly apolitical.

Plus, the moonrise:
Positive Amy came to life one day at the Landdyke Gathering. I realized that I was stomping around muttering grumpily to myself more often than not, and I wanted to see what life would be like if I stopped that. So at breakfast with YL and Kya I declared it “Positive Amy Day” […]
