Being an overthinker and an underdoer is tough

Two lovely ladies, one older, one younger. Both wearing knit hats and looking cozy in sweaters.

Me and my mom and our matching dimples 😍

The answer is yes, of course, slay. But be warned that that glitter thread in there is going to make it the one of the most annoying thing to wash that you have ever owned!

The last one. I'd pick it up because of the colors and art style; I stay because your name is on it, and I'm pulled in by the mystery of what's happening with the water. Having read the book, it also somehow represents the story inside the best for me.

My local weather forecast, showing highs of 30-32°C all week long.

Hot. Damn.

This last hurrah of summer may take me out. (That's celsius by the way.)

Lord of the Rings is my favorite story, because at its core it’s about how the power of loyalty and friendship and bravery can overcome even the darkest evil, and also how wanting to eat potatoes again badly enough is basically a superpower

Yes! So much this!

IT Security PSA: If you're trying to tell if something is poop or chocolate you wouldn't lick it to find out. If you have any suspicions that a link is malicious you should not click it to determine that. Many links can compromise your device with just a click. At that point you've "licked poop."

Mortified this morning because I incorrectly judged the maximum following distance to which my door-holding obligations applied

Waxcap Handmade Handmade felt mushrooms, knitted items, and other delights. Joy is an act of resistance.

Could y'all do me a huge (yet small) favor to support one of our Rise community members?

Erin Petty has created a gorgeous handmade store of whimsy.

It is a brave thing to create art & launch it into the world while everything crashes around us.

I want to get her 10 orders!

I have purchased

the mushrooms

that were in

your cart

and which

you were probably

excited

to receive

Forgive me

they were adorable

so handmade

and so precious

I don't even know her, but I'm proud of her, too! I hope she continues to find and create more joy 💜 We all need it.

I'm so glad this came across my feed today. Thank you for sharing! I ordered two. I can't wait to get some whimsical mushrooms in the mail!

We cannot lie our way to truth.

We cannot hate our way to love.

We cannot war our way to peace.

"Understanding" is a pretty beautiful compound word...in this case "under" has a somewhat archaic meaning of "among" (also still present in "under these circumstances.")

So understanding is "Standing among" as-in a mind that figuratively shares space with the concepts in question.

I just can't stay-up-late-and-still-function-the-next-day like I used to, you know?

Frodo saying to Sam, "We've been here before. We're going in circles."

when the worship leader goes back to the bridge again when you thought the song was done:

One day you’re young and fun then next thing you know you’re downloading an app that identifies what birds are nearby just by listening to them and man this app is awesome

A friend just asked me what I do to stay hopeful and I told him one of my favorite strategies…I stay hopeful by remembering that no one has any idea what the fuck is going to happen, so as long as we don’t know, we gotta do what we can.

My updated list of things that will give you a hangover after 35:

Alcohol, aggressively carbonated beverages, one (1) FaceTime call, a menu with too many options, difficult parking situations, a book with a good twist, a book with a terrible twist, fluorescent lighting, news of the outside world

I put my phone in my pocket while gardening, and when I pulled it back out again, my thigh had gone on Twitter and had been liking and retweeting posts without my knowledge or consent :P

Please enjoy these shelter pups reacting to getting a kiss. Some are bashful, some have butterflies, and all deserve approximately 10 million more. 14/10 for all

Awwww my mom has her first spreadsheet 😍🥰🥹 I'm so proud

Hehe "Training Day". I get it now. Cleverrrr.

I hope you love something beautiful and meaningless. For me, it's football. I don't care what it is for you, but I wish you a deep love for something that means nothing until you give it meaning through your attention.

911 is down?? That's an option??

I have never felt so understood in my life 😂

March 9th, 2025 Jessica Kantrowitz The birds are singing— what a grace! We are destroying the earth destroying democracy We hate and hurt each other— listen, the birds Are singing, and the sun sets later and later I should be filled with despair, should I not? But the house is filled with light and the birds are singing And my heart, despite everything my heart soars with hope Listen. I’m trying to tell you— The birds are singing Don’t be afraid.

I wrote you a poem

A satire of Claude Monet's painting of water lilies, an impressionistic painting with broken dabs of pastel color featuring blooming lilies and purple blue water. The artist has added a dachshund swimming

Dachshund #36. I'm drawing a dachshund every day until THE LISTENERS comes out on June 3rd.

The people have spoken, and today's was one of Claude Monet's TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY paintings of water lilies. The man knew his brand. You, too, can vote on the next painting, by heading to my IG stories.

It works again! Previous guy or previous-previous owner must have busted a clip because the face plate doesn't want to stay in place, but it just needs a little push and it's back in place so this will work just fine until I can get something better.
