Hey NY-Flip over your ballot and vote YES on Prop 1. Protect 2,500 acres of wildland while keeping one of the Adirondack's historic treasures, Mount Van Hoevenberg, open for world-class sports. #prop1 #adirondacks

the scariest lawn decor I ever saw #halloween

Vincent Van Gogh didn't celebrate Halloween, but he captured it in his art. This is the little town of Nuenen in the Netherlands, where he worked at perfecting his drawing before trying paints. #Halloween #VanGogh

Hope to see you there! #NoKings Oct. 18 optimisticactivist.substack.com/p/why-go-to-...

As a much-needed break from endless awfulness, I plan to post a Halloween photo every day. I love Halloween, not for the scary, gory stuff, but because it's a celebration of a whole season--the turning of the year, the glory of the leaves, the rise of the comforting, restful darkness. #Halloween.

I ran across this book while visiting my local library today. It’s adorably illustrated and has some beautiful prose that reminds me that yes, child lit is in fact *literature* So, anyone else have any children’s books they’d like to share? @anitasanchezauthor.bsky.social @leeandlow.bsky.social
