If I see you Head in your hands Fresh tears Salting the air I will stop Sit with you Ask you How you are And should you Never speak a word I'll sit with you Silence peppering the air

2026 plans.

my words are insuffiecient, and certainly imperfect, but i needed to say something.. from my mountain home, to the people of Minnesota, and those in the streets of iran, we are together. power to the people

'The Sum of Us' We all live here. No one is immune. Be safe, everyone.

It must be said yet again... Just because you're on the bottom of the list to get your rights taken away, doesn't mean you're not on the list. They WILL come for you too.

I'm going to need you all to watch/share/talk about clips of what is ACTUALLY going on in MN. This might be where it all pops off, and I need you to understand WHY and HOW it started. We need to look out for each other. No fucking heads in the sand. Keep watching, even if your knees tremble.

What forest spirit best matches your mood? 1. wistful goat of woe 2. gnarled gnome of hope 3. cantankerous toad of doom 4. exhausted moss mound

I love my @sophies-sigil.bsky.social and I hope she's ok.

Nothing worthwhile to offer. My nonsense compares unfavourably to others. Drifts alone in the aether. Talking to myself because no one else will bother.

For anyone who needs a light in the dark.

For International Day of Persons with Disabilities: A reminder to try to be gentle with yourself and with others, because everyone struggles and some have to live with the unimaginable. We all rely on one another to get through each wonderful, chaotic, and often seemingly impossible day.

It's my birthday week! Want to help a guy out? Wish him a happy day (on the 6th) or he'd gladly accept a couple bucks! I've been spending most my time taking care of mom. I'm thinking that any money raised will buy her a nice gift. 1/2 venmo.com/u/Dave-tothe-K www.paypal.com/paypalme/orb...
