Trying to find the middle ground between "walking around outside" and "reading books all the time"

A streambank covered in brown leaves, the stream itself a grayish blue green. In the top right quadrant, a young sapling has several chips taken out of it from beaver bites, and one can see the heart wood in a darker hue than the rest exposed by the bites. In the shade, several woodships are scattered near the waters' edge.

On a stroll through town, spotted a beaver attack on a sapling. No other trees nearby had any marks, oddly

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

I have now changed my lexicon to go from saying "creatures" to "critters", critters is much funnier

Hey man, just relax a little bit. Reposting 6 skeets within 2 minutes is a bit much, yeah?

Great epsiode, very grounding for me because I see a lot of peoples' mentalities be "well that's happening over there" as if a different state is not "here"

"Hey I'm looking for a job"

Indeed: "Sure! Are you a nurse?"

"No"

Is it called Lent because we're lending Jesus a small portion of our suffering for him to load up his Spirit Bomb or something?

ICE is bad. Deportation is bad. Immigration restriction is almost always bad. Armed masked men going into homes without warrants is so obviously villainous that the fact anyone approves it is a stain that will haunt even generous histories of our nation ever after.

I am anti-ICE.

I kid you not, Rev. (along with many other fine artists) have inspired me back into doodling. It's extremely cheap/free, and fun!

Playing a game with a friend last night, and we accidentally created an extremely visceral scene:

A person walks up to someone readung and taps their cigarette ash into the book.

You Should Probably Leave Substack You should probably leave Substack. Here’s why and how.

That's 100% why I created leavesubstack.com -- got tired of re-hashing the points; wanted to make a simple 1-pager.

It's to the point where I didn't expect anything else to happen, not as a smug triumph of my cynicism, but as a bolstering exhibit of evidence that it's almost always a better plan to expect little from potential good things happening.

12-hour shifts can pound sand.

I read in a book a long time ago,
"'I dropped my toothpaste' said Tom, crestfallen"
I think that's in a similar vein
