In the year to come
May our gratitudes be spoken aloud & felt within
May we find reasons to smile & ways to help
May we embody courage & creativity.
May we shed something old
As we grow something new
May our hearts be strong & our future long
With needs fulfilled & friendships deepened.

Our support in Kherson has never stopped. Over the past three years, WCK has provided more than 13 million meals through hot food and food kits. As residents keep rebuilding, we remain by their side—bringing nourishment, hope, and strength one meal at a time. #ChefsForUkraine (2/2)

Meet Luna: a clever new bunny witch made for a beloved old friend. She's wearing the tiny wool sweater my mom knit for me right before I was born for extra powers of perseverance, care & comfort. 🌒🐰🌘

After being treated dismissively at the Science Olympiad competitions to begin with (as a *girl* and a WEIRD girl at that), I wore my medals the next year like a Gothic Mr. T. That silenced the naysayers. 😈

corollary, when someone working in a waffle house is kind to you, you know that's a genuine human interaction. i was crying slightly in a waffle house once and the lady made a whipped cream smiley face on my waffle and i will never forget her as long as i shall live
Everybody needs to take Waffle House's customer service as a model. They hate the day you were born. They'll take this outside. But they'll serve you up some smothered covered hasbrowns that make you weep for joy.
super grateful that a lot of my service industry jobs were at the kind of places where the customers kinda like it if you’re mean or grumpy at them i did the hell out of those jobs

I adore @leannareneehieber.bsky.social's absolutely genuine & heartfelt commitment to her nerdery/obsessions.

Drafting my sequel to DEAD RINGER (an 1892 telephone operator tries to solve the murder of a ghost who comes through her console), featuring a frazzled haunted object collector heroine & obsessive map collector hero, yesterday I wrote an evocative few paragraphs about caressing topographical maps.
Given the state of the world right now, if you managed to write even twenty words this week about people being tender, or in love, or having rampant sex, or leading each other to a fade-to-black bedroom, I am proud of you.

Today is the first day Animal Welfare Week, which happens every year October 3-9. To mark the day we’d love to show you this banner that hangs on the big barn here. It shows the average natural lifespan of some of our animals vs. how long they would’ve lived in an agricultural production setting.

The Japanese Miyawaki method, or "tiny forest" wisdom, is taking root in Scotland & showcasing how improving even a wee bit of land can reap grand benefits for nature (including animals & people alike, as we're interconnected parts of nature too). 🎋🌳

How Japanese 'tiny forests' are sweeping Scotland
Grown using the Miyawaki method, fast-growing miniature forests in the middle of cities can bring surprisingly big benefits for people and the environment.

The white ginger lily (Hedychium coronarium) in my garden has burst into bloom. It's nearly as tall as me, w/several feisty hummingbirds dividing time between devouring delicious nectar & challenging eachother to duels. My little sword-faced dudes, there's enough to go around, really!
