Dr Jane Goodall filmed an interview in March 2025 with the understanding it would only be released after her death. This is her final message.

Finally finished this sunburst granny square blanket for donation. 49 squares total but I lost count of the number of squares where I did 2 instead of 3 tc in one corner of the border. Blanket should be super lucky. 🧢

Been watching the #sumo finals on Twitch this weekend. It's been amazing and I can't stop watching.

If Christianity was so damn great they wouldn't have to force it on others. "Drugs sell themselves"

Huntington's disease successfully treated for first time One of the most devastating diseases finally has a treatment that could transform lives, tearful doctors tell BBC

β€œAn emotional research team became tearful as they described how data shows the disease was slowed by 75% in patients.”

What an absolutely incredible, joyous achievement for everyone involved. Hurrah for science and scientists! www.bbc.com/news/article...

Im surprised that people are surprised as to why there’s a huge political gender divide that we see today.
I got an answer: women gained power, men felt threatened that their place on top of the hierarchy and the intrinsic power that came with it is gone
The reason there is more racism is the same

Not intentionally but I have been missing being able to join in the conversations when you had your account set to mutuals only. You always have really good conversation starters. 🩷

I remind myself that I do it for me. If I forgot then I probably needed the break. Spirit knows my heart.

This article is fairly close to my experience as well. In the first decade of my practice I never reached out to any deity purposely because I was so unsure of everything. Intead I left myself open and deities began to reach out to me. It feels more "right" to me to not put the whole idea in a box.

Faith in myself that I'm doing it the way I need to do it. It's too easy to get wrapped up in preconceived notions and forget to be yourself.

I really hope all this gaudy shit was put up with Fun-Tak. (I really want to see some of it fall off the wall during a press conference.)

Seriously this is why I rarely play my Bright-Palm deck. (I did put Doubling Season and Starlight Spectacular in there though which makes it worse.)

Rolling the dice on ordering my Pascha chocolate bars online again. Fingers crossed the whole order shows up this time. It's stupid expensive having allergies.

I'm not certain I'd recommend them but "Ethan Frome", "A Doll's House" and "A Rose for Emily" really opened my young eyes to the reality of a woman's place in the patriarchy.

I don't think BlueSky is stagnating but the US political news cycle is certainly overpowering normal conversation. This is happening over on the Fedverse as well right now, so it's not just a BlueSky thing. It just takes extra effort to curate your feed to remove the louder conversations.

This is also good to practice for those times when you're too exhausted to visualize but still need to get stuff done. I definitely had those days.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

The bumblebees love my citrus shampoo and honestly I love having them follow me around like I'm a weird Disney princess.

Make no mistake: Trump’s "Big Beautiful Bill" is a death sentence for working class and low-income Americans.

17 million people will lose their health insurance.

50,000 will die every year from these cuts.

Don’t take it from me. Take it from the doctors on the front lines.
