fortify inside why spiritual practice matters during the rising authoritarian tide

Please believe me when I tell you:

Double the fuck down on your spiritual practice now.

You are going to need it.

And no, that doesn't have to be a prayer-god thing.

The thing that sustains and nourishes you.

That makes you more alive to yourself, the world, others.

More present.

i’ll never get over this

The stylist at Great Clips told me I'm actually pretty good at cutting my own bangs, especially compared to how most people she's seen in all her years of hairstyling do it, so get ready for me to have an inflated ego about this now

What if I've already been panicking for the whole last year though

Being passionate about Taylor Swift is like being passionate about Bed, Bath & Beyond. There's nothing there. Just marketing and brand identity and hollow, acquisitive greed.

stumbled across real lyrics to an actual new Taylor Swift song and boy, that's a bold strategy, Cotton. let's see if it pays off.

Lots of Brian Evenson books

You know who describes himself as a “happily excommunicated Mormon” and doesn’t tithe to a church devoted to transphobia

Steph next to the Edgar Allan Poe statue in Boston, Massachusetts. Steph has brown hair and glasses and is wearing all black. The statue is made of weathered green copper. It depicts Edgar Allan Poe walking with suitcases in one hand, his coat blowing behind him. He is flanked by a large raven.

Me and the guy I had a massive crush on in tenth grade

Page from a children’s book. There is an illustration of a black cat peeling around a piece of wood. Text reads “Mister black, the cat, peered around the corner. On the porch a stranger was eating the food put there for mister black by his family.” but the spellings are sometimes phonetic and use strange characters other than those of the standard Latin alphabet.

An unusual item in my collection, Mister Black’s Secret by Catherine Barr. At first it seems like an early example of cheezburger speech but it was actually written in a shortlived teaching alphabet called ITA.

My husband at the old cemetery: *drawing sketches of grave art*

Meanwhile me: "I must categorize all the lichen on the stones with iNaturalist"

So decent, Pyaari

Me, OMW to the local fast Mediterranean food joint to pick up my order: "Everything's weird. I'm trapped in a liminal space of feelings, navigating unreality. Is there any meaning in this chaos?"

Cashier: "Hey we accidentally made your order twice so you get double food :)"

Me: "Life is beautiful"

Honestly it seems to me that one of the most important tasks for modern parents is raising their kids to be mostly offline normies

Hi @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social, we're friendly, we've been on each other's shows. We both agree Kirk's murder is horrific. Q: was Kirk "practicing politics in exactly the right way" when he called for me to be deported because he didn't like my Covid views on MSNBC?

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.

Losing my goddamned mind.

We can condemn political violence without valorizing a destructive, hateful bigot.

i think anyone saying he practiced politics the right way or that we should continue his work should first have to read out loud his last days worth of posts to someone they love who doesnt know who he is

This writer must be having the most batshit day

hate posting about jk rowling but she has devolved into posting a very obviously ai generated video to smear trans people, i think she’s genuinely unwell

Yay! My kind of party!

Oh shit a new rabbit hole just dropped. Gonna check this site out after work!
