'Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.'
-Emily Brontë

Tomorrow #BookWormSat celebrates autumn! Join us! 🍂

Now is the time of darkness and slumber, of cold gloom and starlight obscured by mist.
Now is the time to arm yourself with strong tea, pajama armor, a shield of books, and to stubbornly resist the call to adventure at all costs.

This timeline manages to be both gravely horrific and deeply unserious at the same time.

Trump orders Pentagon to begin testing nuclear weapons 'immediately' The U.S. voluntarily halted nuclear explosive testing in 1992, though it has the ability to resume tests at a site in Nevada.

I'm going to say this again. Y'all absolutely have time to do this before even more irreversible things happen. Please impeach the President and remove him from office stat. Please.

Today, my God manifests as a sky of deepest cerulean blue and stately trees whose branches and leaves sway rhythmically in the breeze, a soft, silent language. I merge my ego into this glorious, divine vivid freshness of the creation as a wave in the sea. In this moment, this is my humble worship.

healing your ancestors = healing the community

*you* are part of the community

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

Just. look. at. them

You have the wrong person, that's not me.

Reciprocity, at its core, is all about treating others, including other than human intelligences, with the same respect that you would expect to receive. It is important to remember this includes holding others accountable when they act in harmful ways.

no country has ever been destroyed by migrants wanting safety and shelter

many countries have been destroyed by fascism and dictators wanting power

When you strip away humanity

It's too green to make ink or eat, soon you can have a great harvest though.

Work and hope for the best, but plan and prepare for the worst.

Hot girl summer is out, Edgar Allan Poe summer is in (asking a friend to wall me up in a quiet corner of their basement with a bottle of wine)

A review for a Little Caesar’s somewhere by Kevin S: Stopped into this Little Caesars just trying to get a $6 pizza and ended up in a full on action movie. Just as I grabbed my order, this furious dude barges in yelling about how I cut him off in traffic earlier. Before I can even respond, he throws a punch but then out of nowhere the guy behind the counter jumps over it like he's been waiting for this moment his whole life and just beats the living hell out of the guy. The guy ran off and the cashier just dusted himself off. I said "are you ok man" and he looked me dead in the eye and said "B*tch, this is Little Caesars. We always hot and ready." Five stars. Will absolutely return.

I AM SHRIEKING 💀🤣

Forget the statue at City Hall, this guy is the *real* Spirit of Detroit. 🫡

A screenshot of...I think an IG post. It shows a b&w photo (digitally colored in earth tones) of British WWII soldiers manning a giant ass cannon. The original photo caption reads: British soldiers (interrupted during drag show rehearsals by a Germain raid) manning a BL 6- inch Mk VII gun, Fort England 1940." The person sharing the post says, "we interrupted our drag show to shoot at Nazis" is a truly powerful energy I want to bring back.

Any time is a good time to fight fascism.

He was arrested for being gay/lgbtq+. You can tell by the pink triangle on his shirt. And you don't want to know what had to happen for a gay man to be released. (But you can google if you want. This was also common in other places/times in history, including in the US.)

How do you not mow? are you in the country (no laws about having to mow the lawn) or did you plant stuff in a way that it's low to the ground/doesn't need mowed?

The best laid plans of mice and men are often ruined by cats who are being jerks.

Remember.
Neither man nor beast can stop you from achieving your dark dreams if your claws are sharper, your fangs bite deeper, and you are fiercer than all of them.

Please take care of yourself. The empire is striking back with its evil, racism, and fascism. But, there will be a Return of the Jedi; we’re getting a glimmer of this with NY mayor, Zohran Mamdani. Sorry, for the Star Wars analogy, and 🤷🏽‍♀️❤️ 🤓
