Cones, sycamore keys, dried berries, acorns & their caps, seedheads & lichen twigs arranged on a white background. Hidden in the photo is a tiny deer stag for you to find.

My mental health declined pretty badly last wk but some of you asked for more photos like the hunt-the-tiny-owl one I made & I wanted to try to make an advent calendar so:some lovely things that fell off trees & this time a tiny deer stag to find.
Do let me know if you enjoy this & I'll make more 🦌

OOF! I’d been staring right at the stag, just knowing that he must be there, but it took practically crossing my eyes before I could separate him from his camouflage! This color palette is so soft and peaceful. I love it.

What a ridiculous assertion to base an attendance policy on. I don’t want sick coworkers in the office, sick servers or cooks in a restaurant—why does our country keep getting worse like this?? It’s not hard to imagine a world where everyone has appropriate sick leave.

I think chopping off limbs might be a touch drastic! Just keep breathing.

Our brains are so good at making us feel like crap.

Hey, is anyone out there? I’m forgetting how to do this social media stuff beyond doomscrolling news media lately…

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

More relevant than ever

Greta Thunberg and other human rights defenders have been kidnapped by Israel on international waters. The aid they were delivering to Gaza that includes baby formula & medical supplies has been stolen. The ship Madleen was attacked with drones & will be forced to port at Ashdod Port. #3E #FreeGaza

Me! I’m in an actual, IRL, meet every month book club with friends and several virtual clubs on fable.co

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

Death, Sexual Violence and Human Trafficking: Fallout From U.S. Aid Withdrawal Hits the World’s Most Fragile Locations Exclusive State Department records show: As the Trump administration abandons its humanitarian commitments, diplomats are reporting that the cuts have led to violence and instability while…

“I struggle for adjectives to adequately describe the horror that this administration has visited on the world,” said a former State Department official. “It keeps me up at night.”

The notion that private institutions need to toe the party line is so fundamentally un-American it is almost unbelievable

Damn it, Grim… I had to pick this morning to see what was up in Bluesky and find this. 🤮 Appalling human beings (or are they?)

It appears to make billionaires’ bank accounts healthy, but no one else.

Photo shows furniture in a screened in porch with sunshine and trees outside. A cat is cleaning itself and a pottery mug sits on the arm of a chair.

Beautiful day to enjoy a mug of tea and a bath on the porch. (In case it isn’t clear, I’m having the tea, while Perla has the bath.)

I am sorry to say it, but this is probably one of the most important things you can repost today.

Handling the CFP trophy like it’s the economy

Not a one. All they care about is joining the grift and abuse of power.

Full on dictatorship. To those of us who've been paying attention... this is exactly what we expected. If this surprises you, its time to reevaluate your "news" sources.
