Thrifted a Patagonia fleece. It’s cozy, and collects every wisp of cat hair. Coincidence?

Saw geese using a crosswalk, so I’ll check that off my bucket list

I'll never forget Surya Bonaly's name.

Reformer Pilates is that girl

The birbs are back in town

Word of the day: repent

New aging level unlocked: sleep injuries

Burned the roof of my mouth on pizza like a noob

Relatedly, the idea that "the press" in the freedom of the press is a class of people rather that a set of actions, is fundamentally misguided. The press is anyone who at that moment is doing press work.

Hot flashes. Uncalled for.

There’s a lot going on, and my thoughts turn toward Facebook decimating news media with their pivot to video

A photo of a triangular prism on a table in the archive with the text LAW AND ORDER written on it in chalkboard. We've got no idea what this is, sorry.

Babe, are you okay? You've hardly touched your contextless LAW AND ORDER Toblerone.

Papers could be written and likely have about the party that hates women being suspicious of "mom" energy in society. Is everyone warm, are we all fed, is everyone safe? They are literally some of the least suspicious concerns in the world, but the right is terrified by them.

Evil stays on message

In this moment, I’m glad to be sober

Shoutout to everyone out there making music, making art, and otherwise being creative. Much love and respect.

​A vertical, eye-level photograph of a dense forest filled with tall, slender tree trunks. The trees are packed closely together, creating a repetitive vertical pattern of grey and brown bark. A single trunk in the middle of the frame is struck by a narrow, intense beam of golden sunlight, causing it to glow brightly while the surrounding trees remain in deep shadow. The forest floor is covered in dry, brown vegetation, and the background fades into a soft, dark blur.

One among many.

A historic find in Norfolk: the instruments of Iron Age war A remarkable hoard in West Norfolk is exciting archaelogists and scholars who study the lives and battles of Boudica and her Norfolk Iceni

A war cry buried for 2,000 years. Archaeologists have uncovered a terrifying Celtic battle instrument near Thetford – possibly linked to Queen Boudica herself. Read about it before tonight’s “Digging in Britain” ⤵️

DON'T GO.

“You look like a soup sandwich,” is the best thing I’ve heard all week

i wouldn't mind being put in peril or thrilling situations, what if i end up on a nice flower and somebody stops by to take in the fragrance of said flower

#SmellingTheBouquet Late winter/early spring in Missouri is brightened by the blooming of the inflorescences of witch hazel trees, with their brightly colored stringy petals (yellow, orange, and red) and intoxicating scents, ranging from lemon and citrus to the jasmine fragrance.
