The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Sometimes I get a little upset when I live in a collapsing dystopia for many years

Feeling stressed? Badly draw a horse and then watch your badly drawn horse run with other badly drawn horses 💜

Photo of the described owl art. It looks like muddy scratch marks on a mottled brown cave wall. The head is very round with two upright lines for ears and a line in the center for a beak. Numerous parallel lines suggest plumage on the wings.

The oldest known image of an owl:

More than 30,000 years ago, someone skillfully scratched the figure of a long-eared owl (Asio otus) into the soft outer layer of the walls of Chauvet Cave, France. The owl is looking backward over their wings, head turned 180 degrees

We’ve had family visiting for a week so catching up on news at the end of the day (in timezone *hawaii*) has been quite harrowing. I don’t know how we live through the IV-drip of insanity most other days

It feels kinda like it did in 2020 right before lockdown. Like, you knew it was gonna happen but you weren’t sure how to brace yourself yet. This might not even be a lockdown situation.

But I’m thinking of buying a giant bottle of our favorite hot sauce just in case. #hotsauce

'They saw them on their dishes when eating': The mushroom making people hallucinate dozens of tiny humans Only recently described by science, the mysterious mushrooms are found in different parts of the world, but they give people the same exact visions.

Terrifying 🫢
