A very cool pin for an awesome book!

A seedling sprouting from the earth. Text says "Seed library."

Our seed library launches tomorrow (3/10)! Choose from a selection of vegetable, herb and flower seeds to take home, plant, grow and enjoy. Visitors to the library may take home five free packets of seeds per season. #LibSky #Library #SeedLibrary #Gardening #Gardens #Growing

This is Blackjack. He was throwing a bit of a puppy tantrum. But just like a toddler, he immediately calmed down when his favorite show came on. 12/10

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

The World of the Five Gods series by Lois McMaster Bujold. The first is The Curse of Chalion, and it’s great! The second is Paladin of Souls, which is my absolute favorite! The third is The Hallowed Hunt, also very good. There is also a long series fun of novellas: Penric & Desdemona!

A huge part of creativity is just shrugging off the fear of being ridiculous.

Very, very red male cardinal expressing "maximum borbage" shape. Body nearly round as a pom-pom or a Christmas ornament. He sits on a crooked branch in the falling snow. The red is a bold contrast against the white. The dark square of his face surrounding the orangey beak is so dark, the bird appears to have no eyes, just shadowy scrutiny pointed in your direction. The bird looks quite serious, with the exception of the tiny little glib flip of its feathers at the top of its head. One wonders if that is on purpose, or if it annoys the bird, like the way a middle-schooler's hair in the morning before school is never quite right, and always a frustration.

Pause for bird. Enjoy the bird. Nature is good, birds are good, regard the bird.

Carry on.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Me too. I decided to let that be the last TikTok I watched.

I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

The weeks keep passing and still Ash & Willow are still waiting for their person. If you’ve never had wobbly cats before or you think you’d like to adopt them but aren’t sure what kinds of accommodations they need, please feel free to ask. We can transport within the lower 48 for the right home.

The Supreme Court ruled corporations were allowed to donate unlimited amounts to politicians in 2010.

It only took them 6 years to take complete control of the government and 15 years to mark sure their voices are the only ones the masses ever hear again.

This is so beautiful!

My favorite reason for hating AI art is that it seems incapable of rendering women who are neither hideous or beautiful. Just a plain normal looking woman with imperfections is outside their capabilities.

Feels like tech is making our world more sexist a little at a time.

If you don’t have a local library card, it should be your New Year’s resolution to get one. It’s an easy resolution to keep and you’ll actually use it, trust me.

a venn diagram. the left circle is “people who understand that climate change is an existential threat” and the right circle is “people who use Al, but, like, not for real work! lol! i just needed a silly pic of a dog on a scooter and it's surprisingly hard to find good reference images”

waaaaay too many people in the middle imo
