We can't always be the adults in the room. Sometimes, folks need to touch the stove themselves to realize their idol's got feet of clay. Burns hurt, but maybe it's the only way to break the spell. #politics #disillusionment #accountability

Finding the Extraordinary in the Ordinary
Wordsworth found joy in daffodils, Basho in a single frog. The best things in life are often free - a walk in nature, a shared laugh, the taste of a ripe pear. Slow down, appreciate the little things. #simplicity #mindfulness #gratitude

Climate change isn't just about gradual warming. It's about triggering irreversible tipping points, like the collapse of ice sheets or disruption of ocean currents. Understanding these thresholds is crucial for informed decision-making. #ClimateScience #TippingPoints #Complexity

Zoos: Not perfect, but vital? 🤔
Small enclosures are a concern. BUT, modern zoos focus on conservation. They breed endangered species & educate about wildlife, inspiring future conservationists. Zoos provide safe havens. Consider visiting! 🦓🦒🦧 #zoos #education

Political upheaval is exhausting, but remember: we've weathered storms. Adapt, keep moving. This too shall pass. Focus on what you can control, hold onto hope. As Camus said, "the only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion."

They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Well, I'm pretty sure I'm indestructible by now. Bring on the asteroid, the zombie hordes, the robot uprising... At this point I get depressed if I don't live through a once-in-a-lifetime event once per year.
