The Trump administration just unveiled a plan to significantly narrow which bodies of water qualify for protection under the Clean Water Act, a change that would dramatically reduce which waterways fall under federal pollution safeguards.

This pissed me off.

Pretty sure the Light of Consciousness would involve actual awareness and not being a self-centered zillionaire.

This new year is beginning with a nice gradient into change, not a checklist of resolutions. Seems more elegant and sustainable.

Bear with me #tarotsky, I am starting some exploration of tarot cards (maybe coming up with a deck eventually) and had an unusual question for the blueskyers on here:

Is there anything humorous or quirky about The Tower card? Anything ever surprise you about it?

Thanks in advance! 🩵🦋🩵

I pulled the Death card at the end of a reading about change… how perfect, right? But it has sent me on such a journey as this year passes. I remembered a song that seems to contain some healing I need as I prepare to say goodbye to the year 2024.

This Michigander loves seeing his wonderful posts, but damn, makes my heart ache for what could have been. Carmel corn instead of condescending misogyny. 😭

A very Happy Solstice to all! Winter’s harsh reign is no match for the Sun. There is beauty in the darkness, but oh how I celebrate the return of the light! Wishing you peace.

I like my hobbies to at least include a trip to a craft store. Mis-identifying Venus ranks down there with building trivets with popsicle sticks.
‘Americans discovering aeroplanes’ gotta be my favourite arc of 2024

We’re cancelling the guilty part of guilty pleasures. Wanna read romance books and drink cheap wine? Valid. Watch the trashiest reality show and scroll through Amazon? I support this. Listen to the same early 2000s pop song a thousand times in a row? Why stop there? Find that joy and SQUEEZE.
