You're all very good.

Looks like it must've been a lot of fun!

So sad.

when he was still in high school.

I hoped out-of-the-box thinking and thanking the judge might count!

"What kind of leaves are they?"

I saw these while walking.

Then I remembered them in news photos.

💡 Oak leaf clusters!

In all the leaves, in all the places,
unnoticed.

Always something new to see when you're looking for beauty.

French artists called them
"Objet trouvé."

It's what I found when I was out walking.

Took them home, couldn't help myself, made a little tableau.

Decorating for Halloween?

Important

It’s spooky season, but let’s not make it scary for wildlife! 🎃👻

Fake web decorations can trap and injure our garden wildlife. Stick to sustainable, indoor decorations and let real spiders do the work outdoors!

Share these tips & help spread awareness 👇

An orange poster with the warning “Beware! Fake Webs = Real Risks for Wildlife” written at the top in bold, accompanied by a small, friendly-looking spider hanging from a web. The text explains that fake web decorations can trap and harm birds, small mammals, and even toads. A cartoon owl and spider deliver the message, with the spider humorously saying, “This is all natural!” in front of its web, and the owl encouraging people to avoid fake webbing for a spooky yet wildlife-friendly Halloween. The overall tone is playful but highlights an important caution for Halloween decorating.

I would like to add that you have done your absolute best so that people would understand the damage. You've worked very hard.

Partly cognitive dissonance, and partly the horse has to want to drink.

You're right.

Governments refuse to deal with the problem.

>>
Because pretending it’s over is what’s truly unethical.

Yes.

Despite all the information, most people are not aware of the damage it does.

I believe there'd be a huge outcry if they really understood.

Frustrating.
Because 2 words I used were
good words, not tenuous.

At least #Wordle #Wordle_NYT
acknowledges the role of luck.

In #Polygonle, the solution word seems completely at random.

It's only a game,
flawed tho'.

So whether you guess A or B or C, you shouldn't feel bad if that's not it.

86 possibilities.
It's like playing roulette, or any of the games really, where the house always wins.
If only there were a hint... 😆
