Clove & sandalwood scent the air. Strands of a beaded curtain swing & click, the sound all but swallowed by the carpeted tent.
The fortune teller ashes her cigarette against a crystal ball. "Have you come to learn about your future?"
"No," you murmur. "I want you to tell me about my past." #hbp17

Forcing teachers back to school without addressing any of their concerns is the biggest abuse of democratic rights in Alberta’s history.

🦥 Sloths are split into two groups — two-toed & three-toed.
🦥 Their slow digestion means a single meal can take weeks to process.
🦥 And yes, they climb all the way down once a week to go to the bathroom!

"Tag! You're it!" The kids tear across dry grass, golden leaves crushed underfoot. Their voices condense in the cold air.
A stranger stops at the playground's edge, watchful, quiet. His smile is mirthless, but all satisfaction. The crackle of leaves cloak the crunch of his cast-off bones. #vssdaily

Thanks to all the election workers and volunteers helping make today possible.
The lines may be long and the process a bit slower than usual, but it’s always worth it to have your say in our democracy.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Imaginative thought, storytelling & art are how we make sense of the world: dissect the bad, revel in the good, critique the past & envision the future. Regimes crush academics & creatives b/c they keep people thinking for themselves & there's nothing worse for the powerful than a thinking populace.
Acts of imagination and creative play do have a place in countering the rancid, psychotic imagination of this administration. It's just one way, but the juxtaposition is important because it helps us remember how utterly bankrupt it is in normal human values.
