I feel like I’m doing something wrong, because the step between reading a book and having a finished index is a real rigmarole

i know it doesn’t matter but i just want it on the record i acknowledge that by hitting schools and desalinization plants we are committing unspeakable war crimes and i, personally, think it’s kind of a major bummer

I have been listening to podcasts since 2009 and youtube videos are, in my opinion, not podcasts

a close-up of a small flower whose five egg-shaped petals come to a blunt point. the petals are starkly white but marked with faint pink streaks; at the base of each petal there is a small spot of golden yellow. the ovary in the center of the flower has a pale green tint, with pale pink anthers suspended above on white stamens. behind the blooming flower there is an upright bud fixing to open, plus a few nodding buds encased in green.

this flower's five petals are curved up forming a bowl around the white stamens with pink anthers that stand in the center of the flower. the white petals are streaked purple-pink, with a golden yellow spot at the base of each. a couple buds getting ready to open hang to either side, with a whole clutch of green, younger buds nodding down in between.

the forest floor here has patches of green moss but is mostly coverd with brown fallen tree leaves. some young green leaves and shoots are poking up through the leaves, including long, thin, green or purplish-green springbeauty leaves similar to blades of grass. there are scattered blooming white springbeauty flowers across the scene.

I can try to soothe myself by saying maybe the Israelis did it, but maybe they didn't, and we're on the same team anyway

This war is awful for a lot of reasons, but we can't overlook just how much of an environmental catastrophe this will be if energy infrastructure continues to get targeted.

But of that day and hour no one knoweth, not the angels of heaven, but the Father alone. And as in the days of Noah, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

It has always driven me crazy that they so confidently do this one thing that they are not supposed to do.
