Maybe it’s the daily onslaught of living in America right now, but I have become obsessed with the Big Bear Bald Eagle Nest Cam-1. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, you should click that link and come back to read the rest of this in three hours when you’re done watching, but it’s a live feed of a Bald Eagles’ aerie (aka,
It’s so hard to stomach this round, especially the cabinet of sycophant assholes. I wouldn’t let RFK Jr recommend a cough drop, I can’t wait to see what other old school diseases make a comeback. More eagle cam recommended 🦅♥️
Two cases of measles in CA now 😩 I’m going to take my own advice and get an antibody titer test just to see. I won’t be stopping for French fries on the way home, either. Absolute shit show, but I sure am grateful for all of you. Hugs, hugs, and more hugs from Santa Monica, and a lot of love, Eileen xx
Beautifully expressed Ally. I keep thinking it must be a fever dream. Something crazy is going to happen and those conned will wake up and join the good fight. Until then, make love, more art, and stay in the light.
I keep thinking that, too, because the alternative is too awful to bear. It really feels
like we exist in two different realities, it’s so hard to fathom how half of us could look at thee circumstances and draw one set of conclusions and the other half think it’s all fantastic. I’m oversimplifying and overstating but not by a lot. Anyway, I appreciate you and everyone here so much. And yes, more art, more love, more eagles, and chocolate also helps ❤️
Hearts to you, too. And yeah, I have no idea what the Billy Ocean rules are in that case, but I will now have that song in my head for the rest of the day 🤣 Gen X forever.
Thanks Ally. The sound of that rushing wind is so cleansing. I'm going to check in with the eagles daily to reset. I think most of us are committed to restoring our democracy. It was flawed, but doesn't deserve to be eviscerated by the Republicans, who will never understand the question, "If I am for myself alone, what am I?"
It’s too bad they didn’t reject this man the minute he came down that escalator. It’s a Pandora’s Box that I wish we could close. Not suggesting the problems weren’t there to be exploited, just…feel like he has stoked the absolute worst in the worst of people. Heartbreaking to see, pointless to dwell on I suppose. Thank you for being here ❤️ Eagle check-ins for the win.
White tailed eagles have been reintroduced to our area of the UK in the past few years. No nest-cam, but whenever I see an update about them I'm straight on it. I want to know their progress and see them as a symbol of hope.
They really are extraordinary. It’s not like I haven’t appreciated that before now, but something about the nest cam really drove the point home. Last night there was a storm, it was snowing and the winds looked intense and I found myself crying watching Jackie (I think it was Jackie) protecting her chicks. No doubt I’m feeling everything intensely these days, but I think the break from all the insanity to see something so profound is giving me oxygen right now. Thanks for being here, Wendy, sending you lots of love ❤️
Isn’t it amazing? It does me in. It has to be freezing, but that is just steadfast love. I have to tell you, not everyone is as enamored or obsessed, but I find it so beautiful. I’m glad you do, too 🥹
They really ARE the worst of us, every last one of them, lying to us, making shit up, ruining our country, and they’re wasting so much time and OUR MONEY on so many shitty things like taking people to Guantanamo in army planes and flying to Mar-a-Lago every goddamn weekend and jackhammering that plaza (why????). And EM is giving $100 million for WHAT??? Why doesn’t he donate it to the places that had to close their doors becuz he trashed USAID??
My heart is breaking for all the people who have been laid off and treated so disrespectfully. And it breaks for the ones left behind becuz man, I’m sure it’s good to still have a job ($) but imagine how shitty it is now?
And Ukraine… and Canada… and there are cops protecting the Tesla showroom in Chicago. I mean SERIOUSLY???
I know, Elle. Me, too. It’s very hard to take and very hard to keep the faith, I just know we have to - and when we’re struggling that’s when we need to help each other.
There are so many reasons to feel heartbroken and outraged every day and it just is not normal. I heard this woman from Ohio call into CSPAN today because she was worried about Social Security and she started crying, and it just broke me. Your government shouldn’t terrorize you every day.
And everyone deserves due process, my god. People just don’t seem to understand. But we have to take breaks and watch Bald Eagles or get outside or meet friends or read books because it’s not sustainable to be devastated 24/7. They want us to break. So we just have to be gentle with ourselves and keep filling the tank with good stuff, too.
I’m going to do a chat at some point tomorrow just to say hi and send some love. Come get some if you’re around ❤️ Sending you a lot of love and hugs in the meantime. Thank you for being here xx

Billy Ocean said "Get outta my dreams, get into my car," but if I'm in a car in the dream?
I just know Jenn should be driving.
Thanks for writing this. Hearts to you.
Hearts to you, too. And yeah, I have no idea what the Billy Ocean rules are in that case, but I will now have that song in my head for the rest of the day 🤣 Gen X forever.
Love to you and Jenn

So poignant, Ally.

Oxygen, yes! Love to you, too. x
Thank you, Ally. ❤️
Thank you for being here, Brigid <3
That beautiful eagle, stalwart, protecting the clutch of chicks in the nest, in the dark with a storm blowing right now?! I can't even. 😭❤️ ❤️🦅

Tonight was my first glimpse. 😊❤️

I need to go watch a bald eagle.
