Librarians are bastions against censorship - Baker City Herald A chill and foul wind blew through Churchill School until Perry Stokes’ words refreshed the air made rank by whiffs of censorship and other particularly noxious pollutants.

Things we genuinely feared in childhood but have never, ever encountered: quicksand
Things we SHOULD genuinely fear but never heard of as kids: sinkholes

We are truly living in the most chaotic timeline.

Ok but Obama just said aliens are real on a podcast DAYS ago. Now he's backpedalling saying he hasn't seen any evidence, he just believes it, but come on.

Quote from Trevor Noah's book Born a Crime that reads: "The way my mother always explained it, the traditional man wants a woman to be subservient, but he never falls in love with subservient women.

Guinness the black cat rests on his blankie in sphinx position. He has been caught mid yawn, and his pink mouth is open so wide, it practically bisects his face.

Nah, a lot of them start early by abusing their sisters. That was crazy common for Gen X latchkey kids.

“There’s no single answer that will solve all our future problems. There’s no magic bullet. Instead there are thousands of answers—at least. You can be one of them if you choose to be.”

So many mysteries potentially solved! Why isn't that thing in the place you swore you left it? Where do all the missing socks go? Who ate the last of the ice cream?

I've been on plants for a year and a half now. Up to 150. Now branching out into air plants and terrariums.

The worst is the kind that interrupts the music with a click that makes you think -- is this a human? before repeating the same recording every 20 seconds.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Plant peace where possible.
Water it with patience.
Stand.
Hold God's hand
and count down the days
until we harvest
Justice.
Stand.
