The sun came out for something like a whole 20 minutes yesterday when I was on a #FuckCapitalism walk, grouchy about, or more likely going mad from, day after day—after day—of nothing but gray and often rainy-drizzly-misty skies.

Winter in the Midwest used to involve lots of snow, which even if the sun wasn’t out, created a sparkly cheer. And when it was sunny, the combo of snow and sun was brilliantly enervating.

Now, as if the world weren’t depressing enough, capitalist-fueled climate catastrophe has to steal our vitamin D too!

At least my 20 minutes in the sun was paired with running across the perfect sticker, which brightened my day, especially just as the clouds started returning over the stolen Anishinabeeg lands.
