“I’m resigning from my position as Democratic leader and retiring from the Senate.”

Sometimes I sweep the carpet instead of vacuuming. Feels good to get back to my roots. Feels good to connect with the land.

Really happy to report that my prayers received 34 impressions this week.

So tired of taking things to the next level. From now on, I'm taking things to the same level at best. This level is nice. I know where things are.

at least one time somebody must’ve thrown a baby out with the bath water. otherwise people wouldn’t be so worried about it

A good time to re-read this Lucille Clifton poem, always a good time.

The members of the current administration are so small that it's impossible to see them without an high-powered microscope, and all of those were thrown out with the NSF funding.

I’ve been trying to get a hold of my turtle accountant for weeks via email, but I just keep getting his in-the-shell auto reply.

Toddlers:

From the very first cave paintings humans have ached to see themselves reflected in the mirror of consciousness, to pass the world through a prism of common experience and make meaning from the threads of our shared humanity. Our entire economy now hinges on the idea that people don't

I yearn for a time when our communal nostalgia was better.

Who hasn't had free speech on their mind lately? What would your last word(s) be? Can we join together as a group so our 1 or 5 words can become more.

Interesting to note that the coal industry in the U.S. employs just a tad over 40,000 people, according to the BLS. The same source tells us that 64,000 people work at wineries.

If I were a shapeshifter, at least once a week I'd turn into a turtle and withdraw into my shell. I'd call this "turtling."

I saw your girl at the wishing well with a huge sack of coins

Well, the shift from micro-plastics to micro-lumber seems more environmentally friendly tbh

Finally figured out my fundamental problem: I'm unable to fall out of love with the world.

Oh, your apple orchard does a hayride? That’s cool. We go to one that doesn’t have a name and features ancient trees planted deep in the woods by a Louisiana Purchase-era drunk. They have a series of progressively more depressing barn cats and an open barrel labeled “Cyder?” It’s not on Google

FALL FASHION TIPPE - Disappear ynto the woodes of an eveninge, when the skye ys lavender and blue. Call unto the powers that dwell ther, and lo! thei appear yn their glamour and their panoplye, radiant. Aske of them what thei have seen and thei will tell thee: 'sorrow.' Accessorize wyth a scarf.

This final post from Kaleb Horton is very beautiful and hits hard. This is just so sad. RIP.

Saw my first labubu in the world. I thought they were just an online bit, but no. It was like seeing a rodeo clown shopping for cigarettes at a CVS.

I'm watching the new Superman movie, and I keep getting thrown out of suspension of disbelief by the accent of the parents who raised him, who are supposedly from Smallville, KS. Their accent is just Random Southern and not Kansan.

I've decided to be more productive during my lunch hours. Instead of eating at my desk as usual, I'm going to go outside and pick fights with birds.

Same. It can be done, and it makes so many lives better.

Babe, put down the bread bowl full of cream of broccoli soup, the new edition of Good Good Things just dropped. (The list of celebrity soup brands is not to be missed.)

I’ve asked the Coast Guard if I can be buried at sea but they’re insisting I need to be dead first
