“U.S. people are taught that their military culture does not approve of or encourage targeting and killing civilians and know little or nothing about the nearly three centuries of war-fare-before and after the founding of the U.S.-that reduced the Indigenous peoples of the continent to a few reservations by burning their towns and fields and killing civilians, driving the refugees out--step by step--across the continent....Violence directed systematically against noncombatants through irregular means, from the start, has been a central part of Americans' way of war. “
Military Historian John Grenier
Excerpt from Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz’s book:
An Indigenous People’s History of the United States

TAKE A CLOSER LOOK! Another day in pursuit of Moose in Grand Teton National Park. This big fella was pretty animated...he got to the other side of the river...shook off the water like a dog would and then ran off into the woods in an odd, frolicking manner. (as if the cold morning water felt good) Crazy moose, it was 27 degrees!

Frog on a log in a bog.
The bull frog, while invasive to the Nisqually delta, is still a delight to behold. Frogs, unlike birds, will hold nice and still for the camera. I watched him for nigh on an hour, and I cherished every minute of it. Except for when I had to steal away into the bush for a piss. Or was that before I spotted him? I think it was.

I’ve never donated to Ao3 or volunteered nor do I plan on doing so, and I urge people who do to stop donating to a zionist organization.

Sam, Wes is trying to get your attention. Why aren't you acknowledging this crazy fool?
He's like trying really hard.
