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?

An adorable red eft, out for a stroll in the rain. (Sound on for rain)

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?

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.

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

Hiked 2 miles to return to the Hearth, only to realize I forgot my battery for my camera. When I got home, I didn’t feel refreshed or calm like I used to. Honestly I didn’t think I would, but knew I had to hike anyway.

I’ve gotten this before on indeed but in the past it has been for general agent type things, not specifically teachers/how I could “hone classroom management skills” etc. these positions are in most states. Maybe I’m overthinking this

Hey friends, I could use some suggestions for the best place/way to sell prints online, thank you! This was taken at The Farm at Wolf Pine Hollow in NH in 2024

Fun fact: butterflies sometimes land on scat and extract the water and minerals. This is kind of what life feels like to me right now, there’s some beauty still…but feels like it’s on a mountain of 💩 #nh #butterflies #resist #hope
