Hope's secret:
it doesn't know
the destination-
it knows only
that all roads
begin with one
foot in front of the other.

HOPE

Hope has holes in its pockets.

It leaves little crumb trails so that we, when anxious, can follow it. Hope's secret: it doesn't know the destination-it knows only that all roads begin with one foot in front of the other.

🧶 Got a commission for crocheting a cat bed. Doubled up blanket yarn and realised why I stopped using bulkier yarn. 😭 Anyway, I dont mind going extra mile for the fur babies, humans never 🥰 #crochetsky

Welp that article is going to be seared into my brain.

I'm not linking to it, but I will shout again that DISABILITY IS NOT STATIC. Disabled people, like everyone else, have a range of capabilities.

Just because you see someone do something you don't think they can do doesn't mean they're a fraud.

Perhaps you’ve noticed; the more immigrants they detain and deport…the more violent the United States is becoming. I see a clear connection.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

You’re not supposed to think too deeply about Chad Powers. You’re supposed to feel it

Episode 1 was fun...in parts. I think comedy is GP's forte, it's the writing that lets him down. Just like it did to Charlie Hunnam in his most recent outing. He deserved better.

I actually enjoyed Chad Powers (or least some parts of Episode 1). Yeah Glen Powell was good in Twisters but comedy? The man is made for it, I guess. #streamingsky #chadpowers

From the article

"The ultimate goal is to make Bundi a destination; which with the under construction New Delhi-Mumbai expressway and a soon-to-be constructed airport between Bundi and Kota, seems two steps closer."

We are still miles away from responsible tourism tho. Ppl trash & disrespect.

When we last visited Bundi during a mini vacation, in 2014, it was still a small town than a modern city. It was sad to see a few stepwells being used as garbage dumps although few other heritage sites in the town were well-maintained.

Right now, it is said that Chota Matka is recuperating after injuries from a recent vicious fight. Fella is unstoppable, I guess.

If you're keen to learn more about him and the other beasts, head over here:

His family tree. Father the legendary Matkasur who was even more ferocious. Mother Tara. Daughter Nayantara.

All pics and lore from the Internet. I haven't been to the reserve (yet).

Large number of tweets on Chota Matka in last couple of days on the other site but so few here. So let me fix that.

Chota Matka is the name given to a ferocious tiger at Tadoba Tiger reserve at Maharashtra. Legend has it that he's killed 4 adult male tigers so far. Goofy Pic is misleading 😁
