After trying to get her attention for a solid minute, my husband just told my mother in law that she needs to get her hearing checked and she said “oh no honey I like it better this way” and if that’s not a whole mood, I don’t know what is

Two photos. In the first, deep in a conifer forest a man in winter clothes holds a reindeer and sprays something from an aerosol can on the antlers. The second photo is of a small town street in the dead of night. Little shops and dim street lights. A deer stands in the middle of the road. It's barely visible, just a feint silhouette. But, its eyes and antlers glow like something ancient and supernatural.

To prevent deer from being hit by cars Finland has tried using reflective paint. (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/avoid-deer-strikes-finland-painting-deer-antlers-reflective-paint-180949792/)

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-NC) was politely asked "When's your next town hall meeting?"

The Pope literally used one of his last moments on Earth to scold JD Vance for his unchristian policies towards migrants and refugees. This lapsed catholic appreciates that more than I can verbalize.

The people running our country are evil.

Let me be clear here. I don’t like being around loud people in public unless, and this is so important, their drama is interesting.

Beautiful (almost full) moon rising last evening. ✨

I love Louise Penny’s book series about Chief Inspector Armand Gamache. Set in Quebec so lots of food and sweet dogs and mystery.

Never forget that in 1861 Charles Darwin wrote in a letter to a friend…

“But I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything"

…because this is my favorite reminder that we can do great things even if we don't always have great days

The late programmer Aaron Swartz said it well: “Be curious. Read widely. Try new things. What people call intelligence just boils down to curiosity,” and I think it would do wonders for our collective mental health if everyone cultivated a holy fascination and love of learning.

I don't need a shot of espresso, I need a shot of the chemicals my brian typically holds hostage but will release when a big deadline is inescapably close

Thanks to your support, eight MAGA individuals who attempted to harm peaceful protesters were arrested yesterday. Several more investigations are underway, and local authorities have been very cooperative.

RIP USAID — all remaining 900 employees will be fired.

Be a Samwise Gamgee. Support your friends, trust your instincts, be humble, lead with your heart, love potatoes, don't let one little spider ruin your day.

Like, even on my worst day of writing, a day where the writing feels like I'm banging my head against a rock, I never wish I could just push a fucking button to write that page, or that paragraph, or even a sentence. I want to do the work! THE WORK IS MYSTERIOUS AND IMPORTANT

We have each other. We are the Resistance now. All of us.
