Passions are traveling , reading, writing and anything nature and sometimes the big cities but most importantly animals, especially my furry kindred spirits
Is it productive to read books on best ways to be productive. I’ve seen some books on this topic and have been considering buying a couple but is it really worth it? Which ones to buy that cuts through all the common sense points? Any recs?

I’ve been receiving charity solicitations w/ “free gifts” and even coins/dollars included way too much. Mostly animal charities but others too. Mtkg firm gets paid w/ $ that should be used for the charity. 🧐Inefficient and produces way too much waste. Still donate but do research!

While some are visiting the Oregon Zoo in droves to get a glimpse of new baby elephant Tula-Tu, others showed up advocating for her freedom.

Humans always have the upper hand unfortunately. Wolves do what they do because of their need to hunt to survive, it's in their genetics, it's normal. Livestock is easy prey + there's less space for wolves bc of development, encroaching of wolves' land, incompassion from land owners, hunters, etc.
And so the killing continues. WDFW announced they killed 2 wolves from the Columbia Pack in response to livestock attacks. A yearling female + adult male were killed. More: bit.ly/40xozdf

Gen Z and especially Gen Alpha are theeee most creative speakers out here. This might implicate their brains are thinking on a different level..for better or worse, we just have to adapt and roll on.

Curating or cultivating a better life (in whatever specific aspects) sounds like an adult way of saying, “I need a major glow-up.” A better anyone is better for the people around them.

I just had a scary realization. I have exactly 28 days to get my stuff together before 2025 so I can say I didn’t let 2024 overtake me.

Best movies of the year bc I don’t plan on seeing anymore before 2025, are #Heretic and #Wicked. 2 strong current themes woven smartly into a vastly entertaining couple hours. This is where my mind has been dwelling all year. Nice that the writers of these 2 movies can read my mind.
