Oh wow! @summerbrennan.bsky.social "It is that “moment of trembling recognition, when desire disrupts duty, an impulse that stems not from logic, but from something elemental, something irrational. It might be about sex or love, but it might also be about art, or beauty...” 💗

@summerbrennan.bsky.social I just read "The List" & was stunned, especially by the notion of love cracking through & honey as a natural glue. Such a gorgeous rumination upon love & connections. Sending so much love to you from Petaluma as a fellow cancer patient & twice divorced romantic.💗

I 🫶🏿 you, fellow amazing people left of center, but we cannot afford some of the infighting I've seen over the past weekend relitigating 2016, 2020, and 2024. We don't have time!

That man in DC is disappearing people off US soil into prison camps! Seriously going to need everyone to *snaps* FOCUS!

Proud of the garden I created from nothing 6-8yrs ago.

Been 100% neglected (no watering, pruning etc) for 3+ yrs. If you plant drought tolerant, location suited flora, you don’t need large amounts of work once established. All desperately need a prune/tidy up… soon hopefully💜😊
