I solemnly swear I will always tell you if you have food in your teeth.

Took a mental health day yesterday. I baked cookies, journaled, played video games and didn’t leave the house. 10/10; what a privilege to be able to take a break when I need one.

How lucky am I to be able to live and lead yoga retreats here? 🥹

Run into the woods with me. You won’t regret it. #selfcare #community #stressrelief

Go eat some horseradish. It’s okay to change your mind.

Big cities aside, wonderful. We have a very comfortable life here and everyone takes daily naps. We always joke that we could never afford to live Canada… but it’s true. The little village we live in is in the mountains, ten minutes from the sea.

That’s what I keep telling my family! I live in Spain though, I haven’t lived in the U.S. for 8 years because I really like affordable health care. 😇

As an American (Minnesotan) married to a Canadian, I love going to Canada. It’s basically like going home to visit my family, but safer and happier. Stunning landscapes, kind people, gun control… what more could a girl want?

Mysterious and vulnerable: the secret lives of Australia’s giant worms Australia has a huge diversity of worms on land, sand and sea such as the giant Gippsland earthworm which can stretch up to 3 metres

Anyway here’s an amazing article about worms.

Does anyone else think the stock market feels crashy? I just am getting that “economic collapse” vibe.

How can we stop this, though? Is there any way? What can we do? 😭

I have new a rule where every time I catch myself worrying about things I can’t control, I have to go write instead.

I’m averaging around 1000 words per day. Why didn’t I do this sooner?

‘This moment is medieval’: Jackson Katz on misogyny, the manosphere – and why men must oppose Trumpism The result of the US election unleashed a ferocious feminist backlash, he says, and makes his 40-year struggle to end violence against women more urgent than ever

This moment is medieval - Jackson Katz on misogyny and why men must oppose Trumpism

When you’re home alone do you ever just eat like an animal? Like… total disregard for manners, food flying everywhere, smashing it into your face at Mach 5?

No?

…me neither.

What does this mean? Please explain.

Fellow jaw clenchers, unite. 💪🏼

To put it into perspective: It is the probability of 2 million people getting together (about the population of San Diego) each to play a game of dice with trillion-sided dice. They each roll the dice, and they all come up with the exact same number-for example, 550,343,279,001.

If you ever feel unlucky, just remember that the odds of you existing are basically zero. You’ve won the ultimate lottery.

I am just a random human but yes, I think so. If it begins to spread human to human, it will be a real problem depending on the r-naught value, especially with anti-vax RFK at the helm.

After over a decade hiatus, I’m playing violin again. Fiddle, instead of classical. It feels good to be back, without expectations or pressure.

Yeah, we only have energy for so much right now. Protect your peace and just let them drift off. Friendship is a two ways street!

Honestly, if it were me, I would just stop putting in the effort. If they come to you and say, “Where have you been?” then you can have a frank conversation with them. If they don’t come to you, then you know they’re not a real friend and you can move on.

This is a cropped, close-up image of the planet Venus, taken by the Parker Solar Probe’s WISPR instrument. The image shows a crescent Venus against the black backdrop of space, with the edge of the planetary limb clearly defined. The crescent is illuminated by sunlight, transitioning from a bright, almost white glow at the top right edge to a subtle, golden yellow that dominates the majority of the illuminated area, before fading into the darkness of the planet's night side at the bottom left. The distinct variations in brightness and texture across the crescent suggest cloud formations or atmospheric layers. A bright, flaring light source is visible at the top right corner, likely the Sun, which contributes to the illumination of the crescent. The overall composition emphasizes the stark contrast between the luminous crescent and the surrounding darkness, highlighting the curvature and celestial context of Venus.

This is the clearest photo ever taken of Venus.

I’m rewatching the OG, then moving to the return… and now I’m scared. 🤣

Finding joy in the little things this morning; hot chocolate for breakfast. The happy roosters outside my window. A warm blanket on the couch.

I live in Spain, and if it happens, I will come home to fight for the boundary waters, too. 😭

See that small dot to the lower left of the Sun's centre?

That's the planet Mercury.

This is the light from another galaxy being warped by the galaxy in front of it. How cool is that?

Stunning image shows the closest ever Einstein ring Albert Einstein himself thought that the eponymous Einstein ring would be impossible to observe, but the Euclid telescope has picked one up just 600 million light years from Earth
