Special reading moments are the ones that steal your breath for no other reason than the beauty of the written word.

A masterpiece of a sentence suspended in time. ✨📚

That’s Steinbeck. Always. This quote is one of my favorites. 💛

Um… so… when did wanting to stop Putin become a bad thing?
Like, shouldn't trying to persuade him not to go nuclear be a good thing?

Me: *spends hours looking at stuff I really want.*
Family: "what do you want for Christmas?"
Me: *mind instantly goes blank*, "Nothing."
Family: "You must want something."
Me: "I want nothing but sleep and food."
Me: then consequently daydreams about roast dinners 🍽😋

Very few people remember there is a clear difference between sympathy and empathy, and that one is much more useful and effective than the other.
-> Sympathy is to feel sorry for a person or thier situation.
-> Empathy is to sit with that person and feel what they feel.

Alt: a cartoon of two women standing next to each other. The woman on the right has yellow hair and the woman on the left has pink hair. The yellow-haired woman has a sad face and has a rain cloud over her head and the pink-haired woman reaches up to grab the cloud and pull it towards her, thereby stretching the cloud so that it is over the both of them. The pink-haired lady then places her hand on the yellow-haired lady's back as if to silently say "You are not alone."

Who else stares the screen when they have writers block, as if sheer will alone will force the block to be lifted and words to pour forth again?

Alt: a black and white drawing of a stick figure sitting in front of a computer monitor. The figure has its brow furrowed, hands placed in front of his frowning mouth in that pose of deep thought (you know the one), and is staring at the screen. Occasionally its eyes flick to the side, as if breaking the forth wall.

I think I'm going to send off this blurb before I edit it too much.
But first I'll read through it one more time…

This has been a common practice in my area for years. Very few bus drivers will bother to get the buggies moved or folded (and yes ALL buggies can fold).

Having a wee break from painting brass on my Khorne Warriors, I so hate painting metals, I’ve paint some of Khorne’s Endless Spells/Prays instead. I’m enjoying painting these and trying to get that blood effect using contrasts.

This conversation feels so hopeful.

I feel hopeful that people as smart, articulate and kind as Jordan are committed to empowering the next generation.

Here's our conversation on education and young men. I loved it! 👇🏼

I spent almost an entire day getting a lot of things done that had piled up.
Why must I always suffer for days or longer in pain after 😭
Chronic pain and flare-ups are the bane of my life.

Last night, Peers voted against Swift bricks: rejecting a simple, proven way to help one of our fastest declining birds recover. ❌

We share @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social's disappointment & frustration.

The vote came late, but with government refusing to back it, its fate was already sealed.

Just a reminder that questioning or negating a person's autism diagnosis,especially that of a woman*:
1 invalidates that person's lived experience-something that's has been shown to worsen a person's mental health
2 stigmatises what is a neurodevelopmental disability that they've had from birth 1/2
