A Yellow-bellied Elaenia greeted me in a flowering tree I’d known since childhood—an unexpected lifer, identified hours later as it perched in the Orchid Tree just after I landed in St. Vincent.

After an early morning departure from New Jersey, we arrived in St. Vincent and found ourselves immediately immersed in tropical humidity, blooming Flame Lilies, and the lively rhythms of Dorsetshire Hill. #Travel #Grenadines

Beryl seems so long ago. But here are some updates from one of the hard-hit places, Union Island in the Grenadines. Maybe 90% of Union Island housing was damaged or destroyed, with the poorest houses most at risk.
(TL,DR - Wholesome stuff about people coping, and starting to rebuild. Includes a donation link.) Hint - click "read more" to see the updates.

Hurricane Beryl hit some small islands hard, including Union Island. There are various aid efforts under way, govt or agency-led and other. This funding link goes to a mid-sized local effort on Union Island, and the updates already give a sense of how money is being used.
[Jeremie has been recommended to me by someone who knows him and his emergency work.]

Corruption is the Cancer that destroys Society through Governments
I do a lot of content consumption on the #Twitter, and only rarely reshare it in the #Fediverse, but this one I am. Seth Abramson, the well-known author, dropped a hell of a thread on Twitter yesterday. I read it this morning. He puts together the longer story of International #Corruption but centered on one of the #USA's biggest mistakes in history, Donald #Trump. November he knew about the pandemic and for "thirty pieces of silver" he sold out the world's people to get dirt on the #Biden kid to help his reelection.
