And tell sad stories of the death of kings

This is so true

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

Love your friends. Unashamedly love your friends. Go for little walks. Do lunch. Go for coffee. Make spontaneous plans. Head to the pub. Phone them for five hours straight. Text them the things that make you think of them. Humans are full of so much love, share it with as many people as you can.

When I wake up in the morning and start to remember things

I think of this poem every year at this time. Seems especially cogent this time around.

To those feeling despair: remember, every step toward progress in American history came after the darkness of defeat. Abolitionists, suffragettes, Dreamers, and marchers for civil rights and marriage equality all faced impossible odds, but they persisted. Now it is our turn.

I keep reading that this is a place for kinder people, but gentle souls have always been among us. We just couldn’t hear them anymore. Perhaps our gathering here is proof that we missed those voices. What a wonderful thing to believe about ourselves. It can be a bold move to choose kindness.

Roses are redde
Noble are the manatees
Yf we wante a bettir future
Teach artes & humanityes

Turkey stock made; soup for dinner tonight. Christmas pudding steaming. Starting to feel like the holidays!

writing is so funny it’s like “this is my favorite thing to do in the world and my dream” “okay then do it right now” “no thanks I would rather do literally anything else”

Happy birthday to Jim Henson, who would've been 88 years old today. You can celebrate his life and work by celebrating creativity, diversity, peace, imagination, and silliness . . . and by *always* eating dessert. /1

Merry Christmas, everyone! Hope all who celebrate have a safe & happy holiday.

Life is short.
Don’t resist, go eat that cake.

I nicked my finger while carving our jack o'lantern, so now I'm afraid it has a taste for blood.

I'm sure this photo has done the rounds, but I've never seen it until now. For all my fellow knitters who like horror movies...
