Last read of the month and it was an easy 5⭐️s. I had an excellent high school education, but shame on our history books for erasing how queer holocaust victims were NOT freed by the Allies. The Allies imprisoned the 🩷 and 🖤 triangles. So much history, identities, and knowledge lost. 💔 #booksky

We need a return to analog culture: handwritten letters, seeing films in the cinema, reading books, in-person visits, time in the outdoors. We weren't meant to spend our whole lives online. The joys of tangible living are something no one can take from you.

“Merfolk do not DO anything. We flow. We commune with the deep, rescue the occasional marooned creature, protect our harmonies, explore. But we age too slowly to behave like time is a thing you can outswim if you fill it up with enough doing.” -Venessa Vida Kelley, When the Tides Held the Moon

Releasing so much with this Strawberry Moon 🌝 “Mended children carry stronger medicine. Their magic unites the flow of Time and Love, our oldest waters. And so they bring us Home.” -Mona Susan Power, A Council of Dolls #booksky #bookquotes

During a Fish Identification dive for my AOW scuba certification, we were told to find a fish whose name we didn’t know, then identify it using our field guide. I chose two. The first ended up being a Fairy Basslet. 😍🧚🏽‍♀️ The second was a Slippery Dick. Together, I think they sum up my general vibe.

“Within the core of all humans is the reality that you are made of Earth, you’re made of water. If we talk about recognizing the rights of nature, we’re only saying that we’re recognizing ourselves as nature - not separate from.” -Casey Camp-Horine Happy Earth Day 🌎❤️‍🔥 #earthday #earthsky

The thought of family members going through my belongings after I croak has stopped me from buying several things that would probably bring me lots of joy in the meantime.

instructor: and what does the green light represent? me: the decadence and futility of the American dream instructor: this is a driver's exam

This was where I had my first post-certification dives. 🥺🤿 The kelp forest is magical.

Love when a book dedication goes hard lol. Gonna miss this world created by @opalreyne.bsky.social 😭 #booksky

[Watching “The Americas” nature documentary show narrated by Tom Hanks, and a female salt flat lizard has just started drama by luring a young male salt flat lizard to battle another male for mating rights.] ME: ……that bitch. MOM: Yep, don’t like her. #TheAmericas 🦎

New season of Temptation Island just dropped on Netflix, and one of my songs is featured on episode 8! 😎🤙🏽🌺 #indieartists #indieoriginals #indiemusic #musicsky #musiclicensing

ME: I hope the weather is clear so I can see all the eclipse stuff happening this week! 🤩🤞🏽 THE WEATHER:

And again, folks a century ago weren’t inherently more intelligent than we are. I believe we could revive a culture, not of intellectuals but of autodidacts. People who are curious about the world, who are excited to learn and study together in community.

It’s honestly shocking what an intellectual culture we had a century ago. On the floors of tailoring factories, workers debated Marxism. Old couples with no formal education read to each other in Latin. Jane Austen and George Eliot were posthumous celebrities.

Reading about the insane numbers of books that ordinary working people used to read a hundred years ago feels like seeing pictures of the Pacific Ocean back when it teemed with whales. Hard to comprehend what we’ve lost.

Happy International Women’s Day, and CHEERS to all the brave, inspiring, kind, vibrant women out there! May we know them… may we be them… may we dive with them. 😎❤️‍🔥🧜🏽‍♀️ #internationalwomensday #freedivers

Took Malfoy for a long walk and he didn’t notice anything except me and my treat pouch. (This scruffy stud is available for adoption at Seattle Humane! ❤️‍🔥) #adoptdontshop #dogsofbsky #rescue

During our university years, my friends and I used to record random things the other said. One of them was recently going through an old diary and came across this pearl of wisdom from 19 year-old me: “I am free spirited, at least my vagina is.” **takes a bow**

It be World Wildlife Day!!!! Do what you can: reduce single-use plastics, compost, thrift shop, advocate for protected lands and animals 🌊🦑 #kidlitart #worldwildlifeday
