Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Beautiful. Beauty sustains us.

“Life is a garden, not a road. We enter and exit through the same gate. Wandering, where we go matters less than what we notice.” —Kurt Vonnegut

#trees are beautiful.

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

This is the way.

It's like a yellow dream, says the bee A world of pollen so sweet and bright Where nectar flows just for you and me ✨ #ColorADay #InsectThursday #EastCoastKin #flowers #photography #yellowThu #words

February 4. King Frost Day. On this day in 1814, a fair was held in London in honour of King Frost on the river Thames, which was completely frozen over. The celebration of King Frost Day died out during World War I. (from the Pagan Source Book).

"Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. What rough beast, slouches towards Bethlehem?"

#Candlemas "If Candlemas Day be fair and bright, Winter will have another flight, If on Candlemas Day be shower and rain, Winter is gone, and will not come again."

The nature cure: how time outdoors transforms our memory, imagination and logic. Without engaging with natural environments, our brains cease to work well. Exposure to nature isn’t a luxury – it’s a necessity. Includes a quote by @jamesgilbertmr.bsky.social

All these CEOs stompinge around graspinge for moneye and biohacks and powere but the best way to lyve forevir ys to make people laugh and be part of unforgettable storyes that make them feel less alone. Love and art and comedye are cosmic and eternal. The worlde will remembir the true stars.

THIS. A question that needs answers.

Clinging on for dear life 😉

Imbolc, the midpoint between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox is February 1.
