"Oh, there you are."

Cough and slip loose the crows of Tuesday

Best part about those standing stones, as you're walking up you see this wee plaque thing at the foot of one of them so you'll be like "Oh neat, that'll explain what people think this was for and when it was made," and it's just a name of someone who was buried there in 1989 and no further information

In real-world terms, this transit acts like a truth serum wrapped inside a debate. Relationships and self-reflections reach a flashpoint where evasive language no longer works. It is remarkably easy to fall into intellectual arrogance—using Gemini’s quick logic to defend Sagittarian dogma—or, conversely, letting raw instinct blow up a situation that simply required a practical conversation. The underlying urge is a deep frustration with half-truths and performative neutrality. Anything you have sanitized or talked yourself out of feeling suddenly demands direct acknowledgment.

This is how and why democratic socialism becomes appealing, the way the “Tea Party” was 15 years ago.

How can this be verified?

For science, I mean.

Through a play on words, in Japan owls have come to be celebrated as bringers of luck and relievers of suffering.

🦉'Fukurō' (梟 'owl') can be broken down into homonyms for...
🍀'luck comes' (福 'fuku' /来 'ku' /郎 'rō').
🤕'without hardship' (不 'fu' /苦労 'kurō').

more clam facts please

I was filling out a new patient form and accidentally submitted it with only this in the “Please list current stressors in your life” input

Meant to add more but you know what I think this captures it well enough

Sending waves of empathic warmth to anyone feeling unseen today. You are felt, you are cherished, you are real, and your identity is valid even if others lack the perception to recognize it. #LwaxanaTroi #EmpathicSupport #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Saw this restroom sign at Pike Place yesterday and had to share.

The traveller rattles.

Thousands resist Turin-Lyon high-speed rail, defying Meloni goivernment’s crackdown on protest

‚Twenty thousand people participated in the annual #NoTAV march in Italy’s Susa Valley on 25 July. At the Maddalena construction site in Chiomonte, protesters clashed with police and successfully breached the site where they set fire to the control room, equipment, and at least 4 police vehicles. At the San Didero site, protesters tore down the outer fences but were then repelled by police. At least 16 protesters were hospitalised and the damage was reported at 1 million EUR. Police union chief Domenico Pianese claimed at least 60 officers had been injured…..‘

#3GoodThings

1. Tomorrow's provincial holiday is supposed to be rainy, maybe thunderstorms. Don't have to go anywhere. Can sit and enjoy the rain.

2. Sorting and organizing stuff on a rainy day. Why do I keep stuff? I think stuff reproduces by itself when left alone. I didn't know I had some of the stuff. And there's more stuff. Give away. Throw away. Put away.

3. Very much enjoying miso soup. Tofu, frozen Asian mixed veg, seaweed, and miso, and you're good. Very tasty.

Safety Not Guaranteed (2012), staring Aubrey Plaza & Mark Duplass (also Jake Johnson)

Plus it offers a very cool cameo. I won't say who. Apropos of nothing, do you want to build a snowman?

I really loved this movie. You can watch it for free on Tubi. It's totally corny, earnest, low-budget, and set in swampy ferny beaches off the Washington coast.

I mean, what's NOT to love!! 😍

guy (owner?) at the record shop: can I help you find anything?

me: no, i’m just enjoying touching and looking at these

guy: yeah totally, thanks for coming in
