Is it just me, or does it feel like the world is losing a little of its softness — its willingness to be kind?

Maybe an 'actively seeking kindness' movement is needed—to amplify what kindness looks and feels like.

A new SWOG book review: The Little Book of Fungi by Britt A. Bunyard. Lots of fascinating information in a handy, easy access package 🍄 www.swog.org.uk/news/books-t... @princetonupress.bsky.social #fungi #mushrooms #littlebooks

Always amazed at the smallness of the Brontë’s world when compared with the large reach their work now has. Until today I wasn’t aware of the little handmade books that the Brontë sisters made for each other, making their story worlds even smaller.
