(which might be the only truthful thing he has ever said). Yet I couldn't access gov't sites I need for research and my neighbor didn't get their SNAP benefits.

My neighbor spotted 2 sandhills yesterday in a field a few miles from where I live in CT. Every year it seems like a few get lost along the way and pause here. I haven't managed to catch one myself yet.

So you can be swimming with the fish or swimming with the fishes, depending on where your are swimming.

...but I also spotted a bunch of massive snails in the shallows of our little patch of beach. Didn't get an ID but wonder now if they were one of the invasives. (Also didn't get swimmers itch but I mostly SUP'd, not swam).

yes, let's pretend that it's normal to never, ever be exposed to viewpoints you disagree with while getting an education. let's pretend that isn't, in fact, the primary point of getting an education: to meet new people, to learn new things, to question your own assumptions, to form new opinions.

Wooden sign in the forest that says, "ALL THINGS LIVING AND DEAD ARE PROTECTED HERE. PLEASE DO NOT COLLECT OR HARM ANY PLANT OR ANIMAL LIFE. ENJOY NATURE'S WONDERS AS THEY ARE PRESENTED."
"Enjoy nature's wonders as they are presented." π
It's always easier to remember in a place like this that most of the big and little worries in my head aren't tigers out to eat me. Just living life, growing new branches and roots that I hope help tomorrow. π
