It feels pointless to create during all of this. But people keep saying to hold on to hope. So this is me holding on. Donating where I can, checking on neighbors, growing food, creating. Resisting.

Um… this extends current positions for an entire year. It’s not just moving the elections few months out, it’s moving them to 2
November 2026. I don’t even live in Miami but we should be alarmed about this right?

Went to the Dagobah system today (aka local bog). Showed the 4yo Luke’s intense training sequence, they wondered how much yoda actually weighed (both the puppet and from a cannon story standpoint). @markhamillofficial.bsky.social any chance you could help out?

"Milk safety” shouldn’t be a nostalgic phrase. But the FDA just paused the program that keeps dairy testing consistent and reliable in the U.S. and most people don’t even know it happened or how it could affect them.

What Happens When the FDA Stops Testing Your Milk?
You shouldn’t have to think twice about whether your milk is safe. But after the FDA quietly suspended its quality control testing program, maybe we all should.

The Hearth is waking up. I'm hoping for lots and lots of #mushrooms this year. The "brook" nearby is a roaring river right now.

Reasons I walk/hike:
-mental health (begrudgingly)
-physical health (also begrudgingly)
- because we will need to in the apocalypse
-photo opportunities
-moss and rocks
-to get to Mordor
The app is Fantasy Hike

Look Down Series (tiny friend edition)
I hike like a Hobbit: slow and steady, plenty of stops for snacks and laying on the ground for photos. It's obnoxious if you care about where we're going.

Victor Frankenstein was so relatable for running away from a whole mess he himself created and telling everyone “a monster is chasing me!” as though he didn’t make the monster himself in his dorm room.

I am a #hobbit and I will hike out of spite

Any other #hobbithikers out there? Hiking for the views and moss, slow and steady with snack and photo breaks? Sticking to a tough trail out of sheer spite? Literally the only reason I finished this icy trail today was sheer spite

Now when they release (allegedly) the #kennedyfiles …nobody react. Just ignore it, don’t let them distract from the shit they’re doing.

“Where hard work builds your future, not just pays the bills”

I absolutely love this. This is such a big message. Is this how we do things? Supporting people who are running not only in our State, but in the others? I’m in.
#isaiahmartin I’m in NH, but what do you need?
My name is Isaiah Martin and I’m running for Congress.

We can’t solve today’s problems with yesterday’s politics.
