And then you realize that if you stopped time you wouldn’t see this sunset!

One of those moments in life where you want to stop time. I’m lucky, I have those moments a lot.

The anonymity that social media enables also makes bots possible. I hope Bluesky can do better. If social media were cool humans could be their authentic selves and share the experiences of life. Instead people say things they wouldn’t even say to your face. I’m real and promise to be kind.

This is the kind of news I like to see. Anecdotally, we saw a lot more Orca in Puget Sound this year, especially recently. There seems to be a salmon recovery happening and that just shows we can learn and find balance with nature. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Had not seen this cool Chagall before. Thx Jo!

I wish there was a blue sky filter that I could use to turn off any partisan noise.

I keep a list of power words, as in, words that are unusually powerful because of their deep meaning and importance.

For example, a word I am very enamored with right now is…

FILTER

Filters are so under appreciated. We got a zero water filter recently and it’s amazing.

For #WormWednesday here is a leather star (sometimes called a garlic star because of its odor) with a scale worm for a roommate.
