Poor Buckeye butterfly has a crumpled wing. Found him yesterday in my yard, struggling; gave him some asters & sugar water. As of this morning, still hanging off of the asters w/his crumpled wing 🙁

Started Kierkegaard's Either/Or, and I've not been expecting at all to be laughing throughout. But he's really caught me off guard with some of these. What a poet, a genius, a fking legend

Becoming someone who values “food and cheer and song above hoarded gold” isn’t just about sitting back and enjoying your own cozy ‘hobbit life’ — it means ensuring that no one else is left without these same comforts, even when that makes you uncomfortable in the process. 🤎 #teawithtolkien

When your dog is the slowest eater, you put some goat milk in the last bit of her dinner (to help her finish it all in a timely manner, lol)... and realizing it looks like a bowl of coco puffs.
Least to say she loved her "cereal". 😆

looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out

Am I dreaming, or is this really a monarch caterpillar?? It's sitting on a vine, but is right under Black Snakeroot.
Should I move him to my milkweed? #monarchcaterpillar

I've said it before and I'll say it again, one of the best (imo) depression meals (if one can afford) are Annie Chun's noodle bowls. Easy, microwavable, and delicious.
