my phone has about a million uses,
it is the world's most accessible tool,
it gives access to reach the masses,
it has the ability to connect the rich and the poor,
our ancestors would be shocked,
they wouldn't believe their eyes
despite the ease and need it fulfills,
its become a distraction and additional divider of the people
used to record dances and share memes,
to spread hate,
to continue harassing the vulnerable,
a pacifier for children,
a distortion of reality,
and a false definition of beauty
what amazement that such a compact device
could create this much chaos

How the Harvest Mouse Came to Suisun Bay
A long, long time ago there was a family of harvest mice. Mice are common, but these were unique – born to those who had lived in the salty, marshy bay for many generations, these mice ate and drank from the sea as well as the land and rivers. For generations, there were only the southern families, scattered along the marshes of Corte Madera and in the San Francisco Bay (U.S. Fish & Wildlife, 2013). One family, however, would undergo strife and conflict before reaching a whole new world. What became of them after is another tale entirely – but this is how their story begins.
