Omar El Akkad's One Day, Everyone will have Always Been Against This has won the National Book Award. This is a deserving, necessary win. His words need to be on all of our minds and in all of our hearts.

I'm still confused about why people use fake nonsense when there are actual real photos you can easily find online.
This Facebook page has close to half a million followers.

I didn't post for months again. My library put me on Facebook adimn duty and that eats up all the energy I can give to posting.
And we had some frost, so the garden and fields changed.

Happy #TalkLikeaPirateDay! Here's a word from the Pirate chapter of "Words the Sea Gave Us" (amzn.to/2D3bSi7) to celebrate.

Loving this!
Please give me an unironic list of things that have gotten better over the last ten years because I’m spiraling.

I’ll start: you can buy an enormous TV from Costco for like $100 bucks now.

To capture beauty of rosa canina (šipak, divlja ruža, rosehip, wild rose) bush flowering, one needs much better camera then mine is. But here is a shy spider in a flower, reminding us that flowers are not just for beauty, they are food, and shelter, the world.

Caltha palustris (kaljužnica, kopitac, marsh marigold) are very pretty but do not pick them. Sap iritates skin, and plant is not safe to eat.

I love Drew. If you can help his family out <3
You guys already know and love Buffy writer Drew Z Greenberg, even if you don't realize it. He truly helped give the show its empathetic beating heart. Tragically, Drew's family is in a crisis right now. If you can help, here's the link:

Allium ursinum (srijemuš, medvjeđi luk, ramps) is a perennial that grows in the shade of european forests. The smell of wetland forest mixed with it's garlicky smell is very enjoyable. It's delicious and healthy and I see more people pick them every year.
