Okay there are so many amazing pictures in the replies and quotes of this post. One of the best parts of a social web is saying, “show me this cool thing” and then people share these quiet little beautiful snippets of their lives 🥰
Post a tree from your camera roll. I wanna see some cool trees.
This is a tree I saw in Nara, Japan last year.

It's (probably) medically recommended to turn off the TV today, and simply read queer romance instead.

Funny Guy is delightful!
Bad Reputation is honestly at the top of my queue for when I'm ready for contemporary again.
Today may not be that day, but it's not the book's fault. Fantasy world escapism needed first.

There are other things, um, happening today. But if a romance would help you get through it, two of mine are on sale.

Haha just saw a screenshot of the "Harris could have shown she was a moderate, but now she looks like an extremist, what a mistake" like, all my life Democrats have been treating things like "I think kids shouldn't starve" as damagingly extreme left positions and it made me want to chew my arm off.
