Just flew on United and noticed this
Shot of the ceiling panels of a United jet. The panels are a dingy white. There is an upside down label at the top saying “Emergency Equipment Only” with a stick figure representation of a person in a water raft. There is a grey recessed handle near a seam in the panels across the middle, and clear tape labeled “Tamper Indicator” across the seam. The tamper tape is not intact.

Alt text, because this is beautiful and everyone deserves to know it
Instructions for Having a Soul, a poem by Joseph Fasano Take it out in the rain sometimes. It has vast, invisible wings that gather dirt and need rinsing. When it tries to kill you that is because you’ve forgotten to let it look into someone's eyes for longer than a minute. It needs that the way a bee needs nectar in the early morning dew. Every so often, take it on a journey. Let it read long, hard books and let it stare into the depths of the sea. Yes, you can give it chips and whiskey but from time to time let it kneel in a place that is holy like the simple cathedral of the willows. All it wants is to live, to keep becoming. Nourish it, and it puts down roots, it opens. But starve it, and the mind, the flesh is empty; the world breaks down; symphonies go unwritten; the rockets fall; the children die in flames. Listen. It is not too late to wake it. Say the names of the wild, the forgotten things: bluebird, red wolf, robin; violet, child, clover. You cannot save the world but you can open the window for the trapped wren in the cellar. Read a book to a blind man, to your father. Tell a child you do believe her anger. Make your life the first life that you save.

Especially love this little bit - we’re paying them to lie to us

Absolutely infuriating that this attitude persists
Santa Fe police Capt. Jimmie Montoya, who leads the department’s Criminal Investigations Division, acknowledged in an interview Friday the agency’s clearance rates for rape — or criminal sexual penetration — and criminal sexual contact have been “extremely low” in some years. But he said he was “not necessarily concerned” by the low rates. He noted the crimes can be tough to solve, as lack of evidence and poor cooperation by key witnesses — namely, the victims — can create challenges when it comes to investigating rape and other sexual assault cases. The phrases “he said he was ‘not necessarily concerned’” and “poor cooperation by key witnesses” are highlighted in yellow to indicate what a piece of shit this police captain is.

The involuntarily grimace that takes over my face each time I see one of these hideous things…
A hideously orange-painted cybertruck with fugly rims parked streetside. The thing is practically neon.

At my local grocery store. $2/egg.

I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...

My marble queen pothos doing some interesting variegation. Some people consider this to be a flaw, but I think it’s really pretty.
