☝️ Took the words right out of my mouth! 👏

I love her work. Haven’t gotten to this one yet. Thanks for the reminder!

☝️ what she said!

As regards my prior complaint about @libbyapp.com . Don’t like the recent news? Here’s where to tell them.

As if this timeline wasn’t already breaking our souls enough.

Soon it’ll be buying books from writers sitting on street corners & tearing pages right off their typewriters if we want to avoid 🤖

Thanks for explaining how many ways you suck Libby.

Good on you! My life improved sooo much when I cut that addiction.

The sound of it still makes me cringe in memory of every playground bully rallying a posse to taunt me singing whatever version they knew. All they needed was the Robin smells part to get the mob going. 😣

Sitting in the pharmacy waiting for my flu shot & listening to an old man begging the pharmacist to take some of his critical meds off his order cause the insurance cost to him skyrocketed for 2026 & he just can’t afford them. 🤬

It’s bizarre to live in a perpetual state of believing absolutely nothing and absolutely everything simultaneously.

Great!

Bon chance!

Some cities disallow fruit trees as street trees because they can cause hazards. I hate to see a tree be removed, but could this be a remove and replace opportunity? (Might check with your city arborist if you have one for help.)

Bamboo: Good, Bad & Really Ugly Truths Bamboo gardens are lovely, but they will spread. Learn how to contain bamboo at the roots & what to watch for when they spread anyway.

Ugh! I’ve done serious battle w bamboo. Barriers work to some degree, but even those fail over time. Misery loves company? gardenmentors.com/garden-help/...

I’m confused, did you order a mix that was supposed to include the self heal and buttercup? Or was that an unwelcome surprise? In my PacNW wet meadow, they’re welcome additions. (Same with yarrow!)

Even in the dark times, brightness is often just around the bend.

Insecurity mountain continues to be one tough climb.

Blade in hand, I forge my way…

This! ☝️☝️☝️

The owls went silent at midnight
when humans blew up the sky
& dogs ran shivering
to hide
& I groaned awake
as the sky lit up
& the house shook
& the dogs shook
& I wondered if the owls did too.

Pre-dawn,
when pyrotechnics were done
& dogs slept beside me
I heard the owls
& sighed

Awake

#poetry

Sooo much fog this morning. Rolling in, out, in.

All These Ghosts by Silas House. I refer to a specific poem on page 50. (& my own old dog Andy who was big & orange & who died in my arms.)

For You Who Have Loved Old Dogs - just about ate my heart for Andy.

I’m in the final throes of shuttering a business I pioneered & ran for ~20 years.

I celebrate what this means for the epic speculative fiction novel +more in the works 4me @ robinhaglund.info

Even as I mourn the end of gardenmentors.com

Great voice work please.

Life is short. Also, I’m really tired of being held back to repeat this damn lesson.

💯! The mind expanding journey is such a blast. Why the fuck anyone would give that over to a 🤖 is beyond me.
