The wood frog/peeper sexpocalypse is upon us!

I’m having good political feelings two days in a row. What is happening to me?

Waiting breathlessly to see if the same people who made death threats against Sinéad O'Connor get equally mad at Trump.

I can hear a single peeper - the trendsetting peeper! The peeper apocalypse will soon be upon us! 🐸

If they could make it there, we can make it anywhere

Orban lost?!?! Wooohooooooooooooo!

#CatOfTheDay Reese is very loving but cautious at first. Once she feels safe she will show her true, sweet personality! Needs to be the only pet in an adult-only, calm, quiet home with patient, cat-savvy people. #Adoptable in Swanzey #NH! www.adoptapet.com/pet/47592108...

Re-Entry As school kids in the moonshot era, we'd count down loud and often: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 BLASTOFF. Now I'm old, its the astronauts' splashdown that opens my heart. earth's curve flattening as the air around them burned finally safe home #haibun #haiku

For the first time ever, I got a "name change request" initiated by one of my student loan companies. They want me to upload a copy of my marriage certificate. I'm so fucking tired.

The prices are back up as of this afternoon, and they haven't gone up since Monday (still $1.30/gallon higher than a month ago).

Our local gas station is no longer displaying prices on its big sign. It's giving real "price on request" energy.

NGL, engineers misunderstanding biological complexity pisses me off. Even in silly memes.

Vimes’s boot theory of economics but for work: you need five hours to understand a system well enough to save you time - maybe 50 hours - down the road. But where do you get that time?

But this is merely the truth.

"You are a chaos monster from before the flood!" - something you might yell at another driver or a cat if you are (or are related to) a Hebrew Bible scholar

"I am appalled by ICE's aggressive tactics in apprehending a teenager who is here … because his family put their lives on the line to help our troops," @blumenthal.senate.gov said. "DHS tried and failed to send his father back to near certain death … so now they're targeting his children.”

Pip’s chattering at an enemy outside. I go look, and it’s a terrifying little junco under the spot where the birdfeeder was. 😹

I keep coming back to Francis Weller's "The Wild Edge of Sorrow" because it was the first book I read that named the loss of a village-type community to hold and help process grief. The grief of not having a safe place or group of people to feel grief in.

Eastern N. America folks, it's just about go time for the start of the ~3 week peak migration (unless you're on the Gulf Coast, in which case it is go time NOW). Expect waves of incredible birds for the next month and a half Turn those overnight lights off to protect them! [stolen from local news]

We in the US need public mourning rituals so badly. We need to do grief work on a vast scale, and the fact that we're not is killing people, animals, ecosystems...

Essential thread on mindfully processing and releasing trauma.

Why is my bag so heavy? Why is my bag clinking?? Oh, right. #EasterVigil

I wrote "school" instead of "work." Apparently I identify that much with a 14-year-old boy.

So who’s played Blue Prince? 👀

GOATS, YES CAKE, YES GOATS! GIVE GOATS CAKE YES YES GOATS! CAKE!!

The Vigil was wonderful and quirky, celebrated by a priest I know from my Commission on Ministry days. While grape juice in individual cups isn't my preference, I'll take thoughtful radical welcome over something that fits my prejudices any day.

The wood frogs are singing!

Today is National School Librarian Day. THANK YOU, school librarians & school library workers. We celebrate you. For so many library kids, the school library is the only place they have access to books. It is where they learn to believe that stories are for them. Thank you for your library joy 💛📚🥹🤟🏽

A bit of Holy Saturday beauty for timeline

Have you seen and admired "The New American Gothic"? Well, the artist's dad - half the inspiration for the painting - was taken. Please support the family's attempt to free him here: gofund.me/6314a1400

"Do you renounce the evil powers of this world which corrupt and destroy the creatures of God?"

Just got the most random question from a walk-in, and managed to figure out how he could see what he wants to see! Mentally I feel like this right now: 💪

Good thread:

I carried around a volume of the works of Aristotle printed in 1590 like it was my baby today. And shelved the First Folio for about the fourth time since I started in December.

New post! This collection was the first thing I had to find new space for in the rare book collection. I don't know why Instagram isn't sharing images from the posts these days, but it's the cover art for editions of Charles' Jackson's Fall of Valor. www.instagram.com/p/DWoh-kpliq...
