The water in your body is just visiting. It was a thunderstorm a week ago. It will be the ocean soon enough. Most of your cells come and go like morning dew. We are more weather pattern than stone monument. Sunlight on mist. Summer lightning. Your choices outweigh your substance.

I thoroughly enjoy watching this. Good explanations, the right kind of humour ("and a little bit of blue, and you get... a building with chicken pox." 😂)
Also, the banter between Charles and Gail - they're in rare form in this video. 😆👍

Dear Texas numbnuts,
whatever crawled up your arse and died - it's not the plane's fault.
Do. Not. Shoot. The. Planes. 🤦‍♀️
Last night in Dallas a Southwest Airlines 737-8 MAX was struck by gunfire while taxiing for departure to Indianapolis. Taxi path playback: www.flightradar24.com/2024-11-16/0...

A replacement aircraft departed with a 2 hour delay.

Māori MPs briefly suspended the Aotearoa parliament’s attempts to reinterpret their founding treaty in the most bad ass use of the Haka I’ve ever seen.

So... *looks around*
I never got the hang of the other platform that's now, just about, pining for the fjords.
Don't know what's going to happen here (or, if anything at all), but just in case: Hi! 👋
