Reprint, with appended update, on the occasion of Trump's 1/25/25 halt of US funds for landmine clearance. This order perpetuates US slaughter in SE Asia and guarantees even more death and maiming.
Thank you for this, Terry. Like everyone else, I also would like to see Opposable reach multitudes. The wisdom, sensitivity and poignancy you convey through your words and images is so affecting.
Your breadth of knowledge, personal encounters people around the word and remarkable ability to write about and photograph all, is crucial in our current political and humanitarian situation. Thank you for the reminder of Laos. Though no social media magnate myself, I will forward this to friends. So true, Opposable should be right up there with Heather Cox-Richardson (minus the fisherman husband).
Thanks so much Tom. I really appreciate the encouragement. And I'd welcome any suggestions for reaching more people. I always pleases me when I get new subscribers. And except for very occasional long pieces like this Laos UXO, it's a quick look-see.
Thank you. This isn’t said and shown often enough.
Thanks. There are so many obligations and programs that will be abandoned under Trump.

Thanks, that's very kind. Hate to admit it but I do love to see the subscription numbers rise.
Wonderful writing and photography. If you can, watch SOUNDTRACK TO A COUP D’ETAT - so much I didn’t know!

Thanks, Ruth. You are REALLY too kind. and we need to reprise the tea ... without the meeting.
Old sins continue to haunt us. Thank you, Terry, for reminding us and for your kindness in this broken world.
Terry, your photo and commentary presentations are very powerful. I am wondering how we can extend the reach of Opposable!?

To quote " where will it all end,I ask myself" I hate to get up in the morning and see the news.
it is just getting worse and worse, isn't it.
