The disturbed portion of the radish bed ist kaputt, but it looks like almost all of the other seeds are growing!
Disturbed Radish would be a good metal band name. Eco Metal
Ramadan mubarak 😌😌😌
It always feels like this, but fasting this year especially feels like a break from the the abundance of tiny mental pokes and prods. Alhamdulillah.

Humanity is so interesting. It's just wild how there are people who'll have such an impact on your life and the way your inner world works, because of the way they've chosen to showcase their connection to society.
And maybe they'll never even know of your existence or how theirs has touched you.

I normally hate Sundays, but Ken Jennings approves of a tiny corner of my vernacular, so this particular Sunday gets a pass.
Bring back saying you’re “tickled” by things you like.

Just remembered that time I told my therapist that I think I'm a "praise junkie" when I meant that I was overly reliant on external validation and only realized what it might've sounded like after the words had left my mouth.
I hope he doesn't remember that. I would like to disappear please.

One of my favorite things I've learned over the past 6 months is that yellow ochre is in the deep winter color palette and suits me. I feel like a dandelion!

I've been thinking about the fact that I'll be 32 this year for so long that by the time my birthday comes around I'll probably think I'm 33.

at the grocery store, there was a young person (teenager?) selling candy, and it struck me that a lot of our problems as a society come from being more willing to dehumanize people than to learn to politely say "No, thank you!"

I didn't expect this for my 2026 bingo card but I think I'm falling in love with snow again (I've hated it for years).
We've accumulated 6 inches so far (just this storm...we had snow on the grass already)

I'm being dramatic and it'll be ok, but if the snowblower doesn't work, it's going to hurt.

Posting on here kind of feels like whispering a joke into the void, but sometimes the void chuckles back.
I like that.
There's something sweetly beguiling about not being scrutinized but occasionally amusing another person.

I don't know if this is a silly sentiment, but current events always give me the itch to learn a new language (even though I'm not great at language learning).
Where am I going to learn Greenlandic though? Should I try Danish instead?

Except you kind of can't because for some reason your arm has a silent vendetta against the rest of your body, and it wants to hold the fact that someone else doesn't want to pull their leg off and attach it to your body against you
