Duh

I haven’t done this in a minute, but this was book 49 of 2025. Tech Agnostic by @gregmepstein.bsky.social - it felt like a pretty necessary read, and I highly recommend it. #booksky

I feel like the only sane reaction to this news is to just silently lay down in the grass.

I… did not anticipate this reference when I opened this thread and I am impressed. I am also now picturing Noem holding that sword over her head.

I continue to believe that in times like these, we all share a collective duty NOT to splatter our demotivating feelings of doom and despair all over everybody else in public.

I don’t care if it makes YOU feel better. This isn’t about YOU.

Deal with those feelings outside of public venues.

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

I *still* feel so disoriented by the fact that we suddenly live in a world where avoiding AI feels nearly impossible.

The world is awful, so the level at which I was dissatisfied by this season of The White Lotus seems particularly cruel as a result.

Don’t forget to hold onto, savor, and even to pursue joy. It is both fuel and reward, and we need it to flourish like flowers need the sun. 🌸

Y’all I can’t tell you how much I don’t want to deal with tornado warnings tonight.

I’m preaching in my home congregation tomorrow which I get to do about once a year. We’re celebrating Trans Day of Visibility and what it means to make our love visible in the world. The work is hard. The work is a gift. I am so thankful for the opportunity to be a part of it.

Ok wow this is the highest quality internet I have seen in a good long while

A bill passed the TN senate today that would require children to be taught in school that in order to be successful in life, you must get married and have children. I don’t even know how to process this.

Small bouquets of white flowers on a white table, casting early morning long shadows, the stamens of the lily perfectly delineated.

Meanwhile beauty. I love how everything, no matter how small or ethereal casts a shadow, the shadow of a flower is just as shadowy as the shadow of a gun, and if you love light then you should love shadows.

ARE. YOU. KIDDING. ME.

Newest update on my digital minimalism hyperfixation: I’m still using (and loving) @dumbphoneapp.bsky.social and I have my phone set to grayscale. I’ve added a matte screen protector to the mix and I’m loving how close to an e-ink look I am getting. 🤓
