I’m pretty much just here for volcano news. But also I write books sometimes, not about volcanoes.
Sometimes I feel like it’s worth reminding everyone: Humans are NOT the most interesting thing on the planet.

Did I invest in a bird feeder because I like birds or because I like drama?

Definitely the latter.

When you get carded at 23, it’s annoying.

When you get carded at 33, it’s refreshing.

When you get carded at 43, you know someone is fishing for a big tip.

Got carded today……..

This entire thread.
Yes, it bothers me that people don’t want to vaccinate their kids because they are afraid of neurodivergence.

What’s so wrong with ending up like me or my friends? We have pretty rad lives actually

I’ve actually done this a few times in the past week. Fun.

I just rescued a little lizard who was stuck in a bin in my garage, and it totally made my day. Lizards are adorable! But lizards don’t really live around Seattle, do they? Where did he come from? Will he survive? 🦎

This year, Seattle had not only June-uary but also August-tober.

One month of summer is not enough. I need a vacation home.

You know you’ve been to Phoenix too many times in a year when you start recognizing the airport employees.

(Also, this heat!)

I feel the urge to dig out all my Debussy CDs now.

Thanks Paris Olympics!

I seldom make it through an Olympics opening or closing ceremony without crying, but I try to hold out til the end of the show.

But Notre Dame’s bell ringing for the 1st time since the fire?

No sense in keeping these eyes dry.

The fascinating thing about wearing real stone jewelry is how hot it gets in the sun.

Here’s looking at you, turquoise and ammonite.

There's not enough time in the world to do all that we want.
Prioritize the important things, like the Muppets, music, and a little mossy mayhem now & then.

The healing journey is long and often takes very surprising turns.

Here's a turn I couldn't have predicted even two months ago. But today, it feels as natural and exciting as if it was an inevitable destination from the start.

Without my masks to hide behind, momentum is on my side because I’m finally aligned with my true purpose.

Resources show up when I need them. People show up with support. And signs dot my path to say I’m exactly where I need to be.

Unmasking isn't easy, but for me, it has been totally worth it.
