Remember how just a few years ago during the worst of the pandemic when we saw how the govt can actually do big things and saw that our collective health & well-being are intertwined, and then corporations got mad that they lost a modicum of power and helped fund a backlash of amnesia and fascism?

Hoo boy, yep
Aging is so complicated. I grew up with a mom who was obsessed with her body. Always too fat too wrinkled too saggy too pale (and a total knockout, so yeah).
Trying to make peace with my face as it changes and embrace and love it while that voice still lingers, shaming me for showing time.

If you want to get your sea legs on mutual aid, one thing you can do is throw a 24 pack of water and some individually packaged nonperishable snacks in your trunk and just keep your eyes open.
Pulling over and offering water to a person in distress can be a much bigger help than you realize.

Hey, western WA folks: A person important to one of my communities recently died, and their two cats have ended up in a shelter. They need to go as a bonded pair if possible & need a quiet home. Please take a moment to look at Max and Ollie in the following skeets.

This framing is insane based on the actual information in the article. Which by the way says the population is still growing, just slower.
