While we celebrate the modern version of Mother’s Day on May 10, in this momentous year of 2026, it’s worth remembering Mother's Day was not designed to encourage people to be nice to their mothers; it was part of women’s effort to gain power to change society.
A small Wisconsin city has just notched a big win in its fight against a proposed data center, thanks to grassroots community organizing and support from a growing statewide coalition.
In these remote Indigenous communities, non-interference wasn’t a passive thing, a reluctance to get involved, the way we sometimes use the word.

New study finds switching from conventional personal care products to nontoxic alternatives can rapidly reduce exposure to harmful chemicals. Even only a few days can lower body levels of substances linked to hormone disruption, cancer, developmental problems, and reproductive toxicity.
People are walking around with one of the most powerful healing systems ever documented locked inside them, yet they can most readily access it only when someone in a position of authority gives them permission.
Most conversations about processed food focus on what's been added. And those are legitimate concerns. But my chip experiment reveals something more fundamental: the physical transformation of whole food into a processed format is itself sufficient to create compulsive overconsumption.
I have used Reiki techniques extensively on the crops, both while they are in the fields and on seedlings in the greenhouse. While not a controlled experiment, I noticed increased yields, even during drought conditions.
For those who want to help our pollinators but don’t have room for a garden, this plant would be beneficial to plant where a wetlands area needs restoring or along the banks of ponds, streams or rivers in a park.

A chance discovery at a cemetery in Ithaca, New York has led scientists to uncover one of the largest known aggregations of ground-nesting bees ever recorded, with an estimated 5.5 million individuals of the species Andrena regularis living beneath the soil.
When you bow to another, are you really bowing to them with all your being, or are you just going through the motions? If you are committed to living the word, then it’s okay to say it. In fact, if you understand and really mean it, then it’s good to say namaste.
