I can't believe I get to just RESEARCH BUTTERFLIES AND PLAN KNITTING PROJECTS!! No one's paying me to do it, but they also couldn't stop me if they tried (I've tried)

I'm a lot like tea when it comes to social media: The longer I steep, the more bitter I become. I've been limiting my access lately for that reason, but it's hard not to catch glimpses of the darkness, hear the rumblings, lean closer to investigate.

Powerful magic lives in the space created by syncretic overlap. There are truths to unearth in the ways myths agree despite their divergences, and the differences themselves reveal so much about the individual cultures and people they're created and believed by.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

Not about to be another silent cis. I’ve always been critical of performative, dichotomized gender norms under the patriarchy.
What if everybody did mass-scale, chaotic, "I am Spartacus" type acts of gender non-conformity to challenge this horrific attempt to crack down on "social transition"?
The silence from cis people is wild. But you must know everyone will be impacted when it's beyond medical into social regulation.

Imagine resilience as a tangible object--something you can hold when needed, tuck away and carry with you as you trudge through the challenges and tedium of the day to day. What does this concentrated, tactile reminder of inner strength look like for you?

When every piece of news is significant, it begins to feel like none of them are. I fear that’s part of their goal, part of how they plan to win: inundating us until we’re trained into a state of bland apathy. While I refuse to let my rage consume me, I will not be quieted or blinded by the volume.

We learn a lot about ourselves and others from individual points of divergence in the face of problematic rhetoric and behavior. When do we reject a message and seek others or create our own? Is it at outset? Is it after the first red flag is raised? The first undeniable transgression?

It took me more than 4 years to capture a scene I could only dream of. A magnificent Condor soars above the peaks of Argentina's Mount Fitz Roy, as they are spot lit in beautiful morning light. 🪶

Okay, full disclosure I was not aware of the purpose of alt text until I saw a post last night discussing it, and I straight up thought the ALT on photos was to signify they were altered. Now that I know it’s an accessibility thing I will 100% start including it!
