Got us a hammock we‘re going to be fucking living

We’ve also done a fire in the fire pit we dug in the back which was really really nice…. I want to have so many outdoor dinner parties this year

I’m on a fb marketplace hunt to get us some solar lighting for the yard and folding patio furniture (the only access to the yard is through a really narrow space so we cant have anything big).

we have two raised beds of veggies and one raised bed seeded with lots of native wildflowers… I really can’t wait to see how it all does and I’m so delighted by every new tiny sprout popping up. And also I have a vermicompost set up that a coworker gifted me so I also have worms to tend to!!

Truly so excited about my garden kgkgkg I get home from work and run to the back to check on my wildflower bed and see how everything is doing

fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

James Baldwin

Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Every major disaster in this country over my lifetime has been self inflicted by right wing ideologues with just enough complicit or inert Democrats to enable or ratify them. That's why we've been on this doom trajectory for the last ~50 years and it'll keep getting worse if that doesn't change

it took me…. So long to go to nyc for friend time lol I won’t let it take as long to go back

Honestly very fun I’d be very into this

the human body is so fuckin needy. you buy groceries, you cook some food, you do some dishes, and then, what…you’re supposed to cook more food? do more dishes? and a few days later buy more groceries? and guess what comes after that. insane. it’s never enough

Did not get a picture because this happened while I was driving, but saw a billboard celebrating Alysa Liu on my commute today… They put her name in text that was striped like her hair and it called her “Oakland gold“. God bless the Bay Area.

A chart that shows the number of Google searches for each Pokémon.

“Hey boss, are you sure Flamigo is more popular than Charizard, and people aren’t just misspelling ‘Flamingo’ on Google?”

“Don’t be ridiculous. Of course Flamigo is more popular than Charizard, Mewtwo, Eevee, and Snorlax. Send the email.”

clocking in for another shift at the forest appreciation factory

Wonderful first camping trip of the year!!!

that’s been the case here but was assuming it was because Bay Area people were particularly psyched to know she’s from Oakland. Nice that it is everywhere everywhere (tho also am enjoying the local energy in particular!!)

This is about figure skating but also about life… shout outs to women!! gotta be one of my favorite genders

Wow I love women god bless

The Colorado River Crisis is Here States fail to reach a deal; Lake Powell Deadpool appears imminent

Federal officials now project that Lake Powell will "most probably" drop below power pool level — meaning Glen Canyon Dam will no longer be able to generate hydropower — before the end of this year: www.landdesk.org/p/the-colora... via @landdesk.bsky.social

Reading ghost stories from a century ago a lot of them begin like "Seeing as I was beset by Nerves, my doctor prescribed I travel the Continent for three months" oh word yeah that does sound helpful. I didn't know that was an option
