Just another semi-lost wandering introvert who enjoys taking pictures of where people aren't.

Some days I need to escape to a memory of a better time. This was one of those better times. The sand was cool and the water was warm. And the colors, oh my gosh the colors...

Today is my 32nd consecutive day tobacco-free. 31 days in the book. One whole month. Not seeking congratulations nor affirmations...
Just screaming into the void, "Hey! Look! I *can* do this!"

Do I wanna be warm? Of course. Do I want my house to be warm? Absolutely not. I want my house to be just cold enough that I can smother myself in blankets *thereby becoming* warm. Please respect my process.

Many folks are on Medicaid but don’t know it because their state calls it something else. Hoosiercare in IN. Peach care in GA. Badgercare in WI.
They don’t realize their medical care is on the chopping block. What does your state call it? Let’s get replies going and the word out!

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

Keep. Making. Art.
It may feel weird or somehow improper to talk about your art or your writing, but we need it. It can’t be wall-to-wall nightmare all the time. Art is both counterweight and context. It’s escape and enlightenment and a mirror of our own exasperation. We need it. We NEED it. Keep showing us.

A brutally cold morning here made my mind wander to a warmer memory during a trip back home last fall.

And I ponder "Oh gee,
Could only I think
Of humans encountered
As such might this be."
Could only I think
Of humans encountered
As such might this be."
But then I sigh, and, with a piece of scripture,
Tell them that God bids us do good for evil:
And thus I clothe my naked villainy
With odd old ends stol’n forth of holy writ,
And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.

While not as chilly as the morning this picture was taken (-18°F), still a brisk -3° this morning.
