I remember EVERYTHING good & bad about the past. If someone asks me how I felt about a certain time, the memory that's strongest floats to the top—if I'm lucky, it's whatever made me proud and happy. You want pain & horror, I got those too. But the older I get, the better I feel, so WTF, you know?

WOODPILE

I thought we'd get dumped on by now, but so far the "snowstorm" is a bust in northern NM. I even dragged out the ratty old tarp to cover the woodpile.

My father taught me to swim. I couldn't wait to learn & join my siblings, rushing straight for the deep end. Deeper water meant danger, power, meant growing up... Every time you move through the big rituals in life it’s like a move into #DeeperWater.

The purported consistency of these reports suggests something quite different and obvious to me that I've not seen mentioned anywhere. 👀
With most psychedelic drugs, you never know what you're going to get. But this mysterious mushroom from China - without fail - causes users to hallucinate tiny people: crawling up walls, popping out from under furniture and marching under doors. www.bbc.com/future/artic...
'They saw them on their dishes when eating': The mushroom making people hallucinate dozens of tiny humans
Only recently described by science, the mysterious mushrooms are found in different parts of the world, but they give people the same exact visions.

A new leak reveals just how far Trump is going to decimate the National Park Service.
The playbook goes like this: crush morale, force rangers to quit, hollow out the agency and let parks fall into disrepair. Then they'll call parks “mismanaged” and invite private interests in to pillage them.

Supposed to snow here this weekend. Nothing like back East, but maybe twice this much. 2007 Pontiac Vibe so named because the deer mice know how to get inside. I keep a trap set on the floor in back. Have harvested more than a dozen so far this season.

I too am tired of living in a world where policy and news is merely the reflection of the whims of the monied and powerful, who are incidentally venal and cruel. The way out is we build a different world together.

Where did all these people go, and is there room?
This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

I don't care how smart or poor you are, walling your ideas off behind a paywall in these times only makes me think you’re not worth reading in the first place. IF NOT NOW, WHEN? Never let it be said you might have saved the world but you were taking cover charges at the door.
