I'm here to build connections with thoughtful and creative people so that I might grow, and also find reasons to pleasantly pass the time.
All photos are mine except reposts.
Searching for authentic wherever it might be.

Ok, at this point, with 780 posts, I can no longer remember the photos shared or comments expressed, so allow me to apologize in advance if I repeat myself, because nobody wants to be twice as boring. ;)

I didn’t see the northern lights. But I did spend a moment enjoying the stars on a crisp autumn night.

"What is new in our moment is the confluence of three trends: The sheer scale of wealth for the richest people; The untethering of compensation from performance; The amount of harm these figures are willing to inflict on society."

Okay, this nonsense is getting old. The average family health plan now runs about $27,000 a year, with workers paying nearly $7,000 out-of-pocket, that’s triple your so-called $2,000 “relief.” Borrowing that from our kids is like tossing a deck chair off the Titanic. Stop lying to Americans.

"phonic lips" 🤯
"Though whales don’t “speak” with their mouths, they produce these vowels with an anatomy surprisingly similar to humans. Within their heads is a set of phonic lips and an air sac that they use to precisely manipulate sound..."

Mycena tenerrima from Pacific County, Washington. This tiny and widespread Mycena is in Mycena sect. Sacchariferae due to the powdery cap texture, stem with long setae and disc at the stem base.
