The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that annuals can self-seed

Meditate today, even for just five minutes.

Every moment of being in your body is a moment of remembering that you’re a human. And that’s a very good thing to be.

Letter from Charles M Schulz to a young Joel Lipton in 1970: “Dear Joel, I think it is more difficult these days to define what makes a good citizen then it has ever been before. Certainly all any of us can do is follow our own conscience and retain faith in our democracy.

I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities. Sincerely yours, Charles M. Schulz.”

Warming centers in Maine Communities across Maine offer warming spaces throughout the winter for those who don't have consistent access to shelter.

Here are places all across the state where those without access to consistent shelter can warm up.

Sorry but people on the show “Snapped” may not announce that they or someone else snapped. It’s against the law.

None of the parenting books discussed the intensity of the relationship between a toddler and retail seasonal decor

If anyone is looking for respite from the horrors, might I suggest making pie crust dough while watching old eps of Midsomer Murders

sure you could read the 'Bluesky doesn't do irreverence' think-piece

or you could explore our rigorously scientific series of posts making a 19th-century hog get progressively bigger

Many congrats to @mattgertz.bsky.social

I love you though! ❤️

Sometimes I wonder what motivates non-coffee drinkers to get out of bed.

Probably some sort of pulley system.

Ah yes that familiar combo of too information-overloaded to relax and yet too tired to think
