When it’s 5:30 pm and you haven’t eaten your lunch or had anything to drink all day, it’s not a good Monday. And you might want to rethink you retirement schedule.

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later

Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

Just had a lovely meditation in honor of David Lynch. The 10 minutes flew by with the lovely music of @zoekeating.com
I need to practice seated meditation more often! #davidlynchmeditation

A gentle reminder, as we head into darkness, to hang on to each other and any fucking thing you love.

Happy Thanksgiving!
My ApplePumpkin Pie came out perfect! No apple layer bubbling up thru the pumpkin layer. This is auspicious start to a day when all I’m doing is cooking all day. Except for the annual watching of The Myth Of Fingerprints.
Hope your feast is fantastic!
