I want to feel the sweet buzz of hater energy daily when I see it on the wall.

DEFINITELY the latter! the kids are totally chilled out trying to imagine what the story looks like as you read to them, and they’re so comfy and the lighting is dim and the pictures in their minds are friendly and familiar and soon they’re sound asleep, bc it’s bedtime! not learning + stimulus time

last month my public school-attending fifth graders were encouraged to wear a particular color to school one day to symbolize community unity against bullying. In the morning I noticed that they didn’t, and asked why, and they shrugged: “we don’t have bullying at our school. we all get along.” 🥲

wow, that’s possibly the most reasonable statement I’ve ever seen from her. that’s a normal person response to a complete non-issue. so stupid to see her sign that petition.

the poster’s second sentence suggests they’re unfamiliar with maine, where there are many people from families with wealth who coulda lived a big flashy life, but walked away from it to be cold and wet with us up in da stix. getting by in Maine isn’t cosplay. it takes skill & determination.

I love seeing the artifacts you dig up and reading your posts! it’s the antithesis of ai crap, and I enjoy it so much!

I’m sad that now when I see something beautiful, I’ve got to maintain skepticism, so distorted ai amalgamations don’t encroach on reality.

the find is cool, but are the ice cutters AI generated? It’s uncanny with its clarity and all the women dressed identically, no holes in the ice, and a big barn apparently out on a lake?

mandolines rule! what kind of cut proof glove did you get? I haven’t had an accident in the decade I’ve had mine, but judging by people’s stories, maybe I’ve just been lucky. a glove seems prudent.

they’re one of the first trees to leaf out in the springtime, though! they’ll be back soon enough! and their leaves are a beautiful red bronze in the spring.. and their white flowers are so elegant.. I love serviceberry. thank you for spreading the good word about this fine plant.

I regret not going out to the sheep and taking livestock + aurora pics, bc that is a quality genre.
