This song should be in a museum. So beautiful. Elmiene took me to church! 😅

Today is #InternationalBeaverDay 🦫.

Health & Safety: Beavers are incredibly mindful of their safety when working with trees. They frequently pause to listen to the creaks and groans of a tree trunk, which help them predict the tree's fall therefore ensuring they don't get crushed. 👷

Time is such a weird phenomenon to experience.

Cover of the novel "James" by Percival Everett. Black background with large yellow letters of the title, James, in the center.

James By Percival Everett is a masterpiece of a novel. Certainly my gateway into historical fiction.

Please watch this. It’s worth your time. And grab a tissue if you’re sensitive like me.

I mourn the loss of the human beings who were and continue to be assassinated under colonization and imperialism - the lost memories, lost traditions, lost language, and lost knowledge.

Colonizers take take take. Extract, exploit, and violently drain resources.

In contrast, indigenous wisdom teaches mutual respect for the land and its people—for a living breathing community centering nature.

The blueprint for sustainability exists. I wish I could put indigenous elders in charge.

Has anyone made Kendrick Lamar cutie patootie sweatshirts yet?

I feel like the weight of words is on the decline.

Feeling confident about my grad apps finally! 😁

Lewis Hamilton is confident Ferrari has everything it needs to win the Formula One world championship, which would be a record eighth title for the Englishman.

It takes courage to feel the depth of pain, which is why I've never equated crying to weakness.

So when exactly do the ‘checks’ and ‘balances’ part kick in?

Or is that just a fun little slogan like

Collectively, we need a hug. 🥲🫂

Bout time! Why did this take so long?

Good news is I bought a tuner for my harp today (is there not a harp emoji??)

I deserve some dark chocolate after making it through this. That keeps me going 😌

Running low on physical, mental, and emotional energy. And the hardest part of this week isn't even here yet 😣

This is cruel.

I've learned that for me, I've always internalized critique as a threat to my safety. I'm learning to refashion it as a sharpening tool.

As I get older, I appreciate the field of philosophy more and more for seeking to outline some heuristics for navigating the human experience...cuz it's wild out here!!

Witnessing expressions of love, esp between strangers, makes me emotional. Gives me a wee bit 🤏🏽 of hope for humanity.
