I hold to this one hard.
Failure to return the shopping cart to one of the cart returns if you are able is a sign of someone who does not value the social contract.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

I consistently get anxiety while grocery shopping, and it only just occurred to me that it’s due to having too many choices. 🤦🏻♀️

My brain went "wine dark sea", and wouldn't let go of it for a solid minute.
All I saw was cheesecake boat and ocean for at least 5 minutes

It is genuinely weird to see my name popping up on all the weather feeds I follow. Being a strong hurricane that's not going to make landfall but still fuck things up a bit amuses me.

The amount of jokes my husband made upon showing him this…
Hurricane Erin went from Category 1 to Category 4 in 15 hours Y'all. That's well beyond our definition of rapid intensification. My update on the hurricane. It may not be done strengthening yet. Where is it going and how strong will it get?

The Deep Ones - I’ve been always thinking about a deep sea Cephalopod theme and here it is! Tentacles and appendages are so different when it comes to arranging the composition so it took me a good while, and hopefully it ends up well! 🦑🐙They’re just like from another world💙

Reading "Children of Ruin" by @aptshadow.bsky.social, and this line is just nestling down in my brain and making itself at home:
"He hangs in the water column between the angel and the ammonite."

attempting to describe the vibes of the moment. have yet to do better than: "imagine watching a documentary reenacting the burning of the Library of Alexandria set to the soundtrack of 'Yakety Sax'"

Idly knitting a hat for my MiL because she has cancer and chemo is making her lose her hair, but also contemplating the downfall of the US and the Horrors that persist. Once again, I hate this timeline.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

I really hate it here.
Well, this is the most fucked up thing I've seen in... a few hours... This just came into my work email.
And the part about efforts to "disguise these programs by using coded or imprecise language" and how to report that should give everyone serious pause.
I am speechless.

highly recommend wandering pinterest instead of doomscrolling when you need a break. got some decent ideas for projects, and general happy images rather than a constant stream of anxiety.
