Person: So, what do you think is wrong with me? 
Robot doctor: Let me enter your symptoms into the system. Oh. Oh, I see. Hmm. 

Person: What is it? 
Robot doctor: Well it seems the problem is that you are human. 

Person: Oh no. 
Robot doctor: You just kinda wear out over time.

Sorry I havenโ€™t been around much. Started a new job and itโ€™s beyond intense. This past week I worked 11 hours straight in a dangerous, demanding environment with perhaps 3-4 min break so I could get some caffeine and water into me. Last year, I was here ๐Ÿ˜ญ Alas. The things we do to survive.

For #NationalMossDay one of my absolute favourite mosses is the Springy Turf Moss, Rytidiadelphus squarrosus. Not only is it very beautiful but whenever I find Waxcaps or other interesting fungi there always seems to be some of this gorgeous star-like #moss close by! ๐Ÿ˜โญ๏ธ#BritishBryophytes ๐Ÿ„๐Ÿ“ธ

Beech grove waterway. Mossy boulders and stones frame a stream, old growth beech trees bend over the water. Ground is covered with brick-red spent beech leaves. The light is golden.

The unexamined self cannot labor
nor logic love into existence.
Only surrender can reveal
the path into mystery.

@jaketapper.bsky.social itโ€™s not as much fun as Alf but: an all trimester abortion clinic was going to open in Beverly Hills until the Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust met with the BH mayor and allegedly pressured the landlord into rescinding the lease. Can you help boost our petition?

if you're wondering why consumer service and just general functioning of businesses has gotten so bad in the past few years it's a lot to do with this - absolute bare-minimum staffing and scheduling to minimize how many people companies have to pay

No, I do not believe Iโ€™ll be
remembered.
But, oh! My delicate painterly
burning right before the wind
takes me; it will be
enough.

It must be enough.

Iโ€™m no expert on the subject but since it is your own website, you get to choose how youโ€™d like to present yourself. It seems more conversational and approachable to address the reader and describe yourself in the 1st for a personal website. ๐Ÿ’œ

Forgive my absence. I have been aโ€™bed with the C19 for the last week. Have taken no pictures, no written any twee poems, but I did awake from a delirium clenching a critical line for a poem Iโ€™ve been working on for 9 years. Yea for me ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’

This poem was inspired by testimonies from women who were institutionalized against their will in the 1950s. I just sort of imagined the rest, left it hanging, unsaid.

Give it a go anyways. Punch what you want to communicate into a translator, bring an offering for exchange (banana bread?) I bet they know they have too many to eat or put up. The apple is trying to network and connect you with your neighbors. Donโ€™t let her down ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŽ
