Young pawpaw tree returning to life after 2 years dormant

Growth isn't always visible. Sometimes years of dormancy pass under the guise of death.

Wait.
Stay.

Life can return.

Jesus fucking Christ. I keep seeing authors on Threads asking readers how many sex scenes they should put in their books. “What would you prefer?” WTF? Your characters/plot should inform how much sex there is, not randos. Your book is not Burger King. Readers do not need to have it their way.

Somehow in the past hour, an hour has passed

I thought we'd all agreed to stop this nonsense

I want this for us

This barn needs 65 more people with $50 to share to get over the finish line and we need to do it asaptually.

Please chip in and share if you can. 🌻

If they do leave soon, that will mean one more month of countless people sheltering at home, one more month of rent and utilities and food and medical care that needs to be raised. That's millions of dollars of emergency funds just to keep people fed and housed. Do not look away.

With my work being art, productivity for me looks like I'm driven solely by whimsy.
I mostly am.
It's the only way I know how to be.

Here is what we are seeing: that every time we have a need, people are leaping to volunteer. To volunteer for admin work. To volunteer to help us get filament. To volunteer to help us pay postage so we can keep sending ABSOLUTELY FREE whistles to anyone who needs them to keep their community safe.

One huge reason I'm excited for Starfleet Academy is because it continues the 32nd century setting from the final few seasons of Star Trek: Discovery (which remains my favorite 21st century Trek, esp. seasons 3 and 4.)

I love it when Star Trek keeps exploring further and further into the future.

U.S. Attacked Boat With Aircraft That Looked Like a Civilian Plane

Breaking NYT:

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."

a small real thing you can do right now. Bree’s squad just sent 200 of these to my stepmom for the anti-ICE ministry at our church. you can chip in for materials and supplies at the links below
