May 2016

The country/world is being hollowed out by the 1%. The playing field is skewed more every day. Poverty rates are climbing, not decreasing. Climate change is accelerating faster than all the models & all we do is sign stupid agreements to reduce emissions by 2030. We're so fucked.

Above is the largest calving event to be captured on film. The actual event took 90 minutes. Go to 1:50 & see the whale jump out of the water.

I think the revolution is too late, but I'm still all in.
