A good way to find people to follow (absolutely key here because there's no default algorithm) is search for a keyword (storms, art etc) and then just check out the follower lists of people who are posting and follow them.
They'll probably follow you back and then you're on your way.

Why is it called "paying respects" if, in some cases, the deceased are/were despicable people whose self-absorption, lack of accountability, manipulation, abuse, & other reprehensible qualities & behaviours can't have earned anything but others' resentment and contempt???
Seriously. Why is this?

Ugh! Insomnia! I've been having so much trouble sleeping!
I stayed up again all night, wondering where the sun went.
Then it dawned on me.

I like to walk in the woods, and I love to sing, so why is it that I never break into song when I am in the forest?
It occurred to me that I don't like the timbre of my voice. 🤔

Listening to Joan Baez' version of "Lily of the West" at the moment. Not sure why this particular song came to kind tonight, but one can't go wrong with a little #FolkMusic.
Another of her renditions I like is "Farewell Angelina".

🧵1/3 I've had all the doom & sadness my heart can hold for today. How about a primitive aquatic frog? A Pipa Toad (Pipa pipa), found in NE Peru and ranging across the Amazon Basin in northern South America. Lacking a tongue, they capture prey using suction. #herps #frogs #NaturePhotography 🌿

I figured a mnemonic to help keep track of the area(s) I want to target each day:
Manic Monday: HIIT/cardio
Tushie Tuesday: booty, thighs, legs
Wing Wednesday: arms, shoulders, back
Thirsty Thursday: HIIT/cardio
Freedom Friday: rest
Saturday: abs/core
Sunday: rest
Daily walks, too.

My cousin was displeased that the plastic on the doggie door always gets brittle with the bitter cold and breaks whenever his #dogs zip through.
His solution? Mud flaps! The material from which they're made is such that it can withstand all of that.
You're welcome!

Hi, lovely skeeple!
I'm wondering whether any of you follow any good #yoga or #taichi YouTube programs and could recommend something gentle and easy for an absolute beginner.
I'd like something I can do at home that'll help with injury recovery.
Thanks in advance!
