There's lots of pressure
to make your first #poem good
but that's not how first things work
If you must wait
until your first poem's good
you'll find that you just lurk
So do your best
or maybe don't
Doesn't matter, write your first
It doesn't have to be your best
And it's fine if it's your worst
to make your first #poem good
but that's not how first things work

I'd confess it all
If "undo" buttons were real

Petition to change the date of Tu BiShvat in northern hemisphere climates that get blizzards. There's no reason why trees in different parts of the world all need to have the same birthday. We should be more reliably able to celebrate with them.

January should be Opossum Appreciation Month.
(Yes, I know there's already a National Opossum Day in October in the US, but that doesn't feel like enough.)

G-d forbid a girl be comfortable at work. 🙄
I see the Holly Hunter chair dialogue still going from #StarFleetAcademy - people seem to think it's purposely weird or quirky or feminine.
It's not, it's just how us short people get comfy in big chairs!
