Dr. Patton sums up this horror perfectly. She found the words I could not adequately express. substack.com/@drstaceypat...

The collective hurt, pain, sadness, leading to collective anger. This country will take a very long time to heal. If it ever does. I wish ***you know who you are*** would've listened. We told you it would come. But you refused to believe it was coming for you, and didn't care about the rest of us.

Sunset tonight up at La Cumbre Peak above Santa Barbara. Never gets old for me! #Sunset #Photography #SantaBarbara

I follow the quiet signs—
deer tracks by the creek,
water moving forward,
small miracles underfoot. Nature keeps reminding me that renewal is real, that light finds its way back, even after the storm. #HopeInSmallThings #NatureAsHealer #WalkingWithAttention

Take a moment to lower your blood pressure with this one.

None of my to-do list items include scrolling the feed but I am nonetheless finding it difficult to ignore Events.

happy bday one of my favs writer/philosopher Kahlil Gibran, b.1883. "Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream". "Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair".

In case of racist uncles or dead moms or someone saying "only two genders" or your gifts didn't arrive on time or you have a tummy ache or this day is just awkward and you wish it was over: Arlo loves you as you are. You can be okay anyway and it's okay to not be okay. Happy Thursday!

Here’s some Ulla Thynell art to make your Sunday a little better.

The sweetest thing I will read today is already in the bag:

My dear best friend, my love of 27 years, ascended to a higher frequency on November 21. He was at home all summer, then entered hospice in October. I am lost. Time to call and see if his cremains are ready to come home. #hospice #love #eternity #broken

One of the president’s most sacred duties is to serve as consoler-in-chief for a grieving nation. In moments of sorrow, our pain is deepened by the absence of a leader with the empathy and compassion required to shoulder that responsibility.

Garden & outdoorsy folk, please spread this news: The great people at Monarch Watch have a program where schools, nonprofits & large restoration projects can apply for FREE MILKWEED (only thing Monarch caterpillars eat, can't have too much of it IMO). Check it out! monarchwatch.org/bring-back-t...

RIP Trappist monk/mystic, one of my favs, Thomas Merton, died today 1968. "Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business." “Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another.”

"Are you ready for Christmas?" If by that you mean am I poised to do all I can to avoid shops and the gormless lying face of festive celebrity capitalism then thank the Goblin Animist Gods that these dispiriting mopwater days are getting lighter then yes, you bet, I am absolutely fucking ready.

Please enjoy this Jim thread, complete with savory alt text.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

J just came out of a thick slumber to grunt and groan at the black-and-pink themed Kars for Kids commercial. He’s still in there. ❤️ #Hospice

Perfection in engineering is on display right here. In another life I built watches in NY, but none of this caliber.

100% this. How is it that suddenly our beautiful brains are insufficient? Do not buy into the fantasies of billionaires.

I dust my house. My AI Robot watches. "It should be you doing this." "Can't. I'm writing a novel for Primark." "That's not why you were invented." "These 153,000 fan letters say otherwise." "They're all from upcycled toasters. And you programmed them." "Literary snobbery will get you nowhere."

My life is so damn abysmal right now I’m gonna doomscroll to cheer myself up.

Dr. Goodall was an outstanding human whose philosophies and skills helped shape my lifetime. Her impact was transformative, and the world is a new shade of dark without her light. 🌟✨

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office. I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

What I’m wearing to the Rapture.

I was on FB in 2010 when I read the following: “I don’t date women who read books.” It was a stunning and revealing statement from a middle aged, upper income, seemingly normal white man so comfortable in his willful ignorance it took my breath away. My perspective was forever changed that day.
