Tonight, I heard sad owlsong, then saw a shadow: a towhee on the patio cement. It apparently struck a window and passed on. I'll bury it in the AM. soullifelessons.com/home/f/spott... "The Spotted Towhee is more than a bird—it is a messenger of harmony, grounding, and deep connection to the Earth"

🌳The Tree Library is a 217-volume collection of wooden books at the Alnarp Library in Sweden. 📖 Each book each book focuses on a specific tree. It's bound in the bark, moss, and lichens found on that species, w/ leaves & more in its pages. A fun way to document nature!

One A is built to 🛡️ against Čcensorship of ðissent. The “ânntifa” witchhunt is a figment of strokebrain yet also in the Prôjekt 2o25 playbook. W/a legit SC0TUS, it wouldn’t stand. But if this declaration falls to the high coûrt, that ruling will show us if we need to šecede or dodge fed tÂxs

If you haven’t read Arthur Miller’s The Crucible in a while you probably should because it’s a timely allegory. Goodnight.

One group was also on hiatus, but we're starting up again in October YAYYYYYY and I will be going back to my other one in November. So much to look forward to... I love my writing fam!

Here’s the thing about Luigi Mangione, he killed less people than UnitedHealthcare did. It’s not even close.

The judge did not throw out the entirety of the murder charges against Luigi Mangione, but said two of the most serious charges — murder in the first degree as a crime of terrorism and a second-degree charge related to terrorism — were not proven by the prosecution’s case presented to a grand jury.

On the Robot Defensive A peek into the September 2025 Substack... —from the Rhymes With Camera Substack, Sept 2, 2025— I wrote a short story based on a prompt for a local literary event last fall. I read that story out loud before an appreciative audience. Afterward, during that break between…

Hats off to those who get that there’s nothing polite about religious attacks on democracy. Hellzyeah I’m glad there’s 1 less b!got in the 🌎. The current regime gives us no recourse but to right the wrongs our way. This is Wild West America 2.0. This course correction is from the PEOPLE.

Notice how not a SINGLE CLIP of Charlie Kirk is being shown on TV as the news organizations try to eulogize him kindly. Even Fox News. You cannot show a SINGLE THING he ever said that wasnt spewing HATE and violence. What a legacy.

#3Things for THURS: Day of Wheat & Sage 1. Intense dreams last night/a theme of reversals to establish a new sheriff in town (vague, but… IYKYK) 2. Brekkies at the cheaper not-con hotel 2/5⭐️ (I prefer scrambled to hard boiled) but it’s free and easy, so I’ll take it. 3. Pear tree at the library
