Sarah!

You're all very good.

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

So sad.

A chess grandmaster at 17,
when he was still in high school.

No cause given.

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 👇
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... 😆
