If you’re the kind of person who easily forgets what you’ve accomplished, you need a practice for reminding yourself. Count the years, the finished projects, the progress, the praise, count it all up and use it as evidence against the ever present criticism in your head that you’re not doing enough.

Few things more adorable than a baby elephant running.
The matriarch was on a mission and so the rest of her family had to keep up.
And while they won't leave a baby behind, matriarchs will also keep a steady pace for the entire heard in order to help babies gain some independence and endurance.

Whenever I see prompts like these I always get suspicious. I feel like it’s gonna end up in the writer’s room somewhere — or fed to the bots they use to cosplay black people. 🤨😒

Netflix is so wild to me. There’s a first rate production of August Wilson’s “The Piano Lesson” starring Samuel L. Jackson, Danielle Deadwyler and John David Washington and I only know about it because of a post on BlueSky.
Like, I’m watching it now while reading along and it’s BRILLIANT.
