Only 3% of our wildflower meadows are left. Please share this post if you agree we should give pollinating insects a fighting chance by growing wildflowers in our gardens, communities, towns and countryside, and by avoiding pesticides and weedkillers 🐝

today has been a good, relaxing day. i took a break from writing after three monster writing days. need to let my spoons recharge. had a nap, spent time with Quark, yummy hummus for lunch, and my partner got home at a good time. life has been pretty swell lately. i hope it continues to be 🤞

baby kitten Quark is sleeping on his upside-down cat bed again. he wont sleep on it when its on the right side because it's too small for him. it might be giving him too much credit, but it's almost like he knows that and flips it on purpose. that would make him a very clever kitten. i wonder...

coffee gave me a panic attack so now i get to wait until the anti-anxiety med kicks in to feel normal 🤦‍♂️ i hate that caffeine has a 50/50 chance of provoking my anxiety. it's bullshit. they should invent a coffee that simply gives you energy. no anxiety. no jitters. no sleepiness. just energy.

please help if you can. if not, reskeet to expand reach. more eyes on this means more helping hands!

I’m gonna scream. Not only does my appointment next week NOT help with housing, it ALSO doesn’t declare me disabled, which means ANOTHER step in the process. I’ll be homeless in less than a month, and I’ll die from my heart condition. Please consider donating. I need $2k. gofund.me/a192a7989

happiness, whimsy, joy. these are radical acts and help fuel you. don't forget to nurture the glimmers of light and hope in your life. they're how you'll survive the worst.

I really need to point out that the last point is essential. They want you miserable. Being happy is THE ONLY WAY you'll be able to do the rest. Also, being happy does not mean to not be angry. Be happy AND angry

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Man ppl gotta be more stoked irl when your friend shows you art they made. It sucks to work hard on something and show it to people you care about and get a reaction like "cool :)" hype up ur homies!!! They did that!! Pick out something to compliment and encourage them!

Internet connectivity and ease of translation between all the different nations of the world allowed people of various cultures to connect one-on-one and share experiences without the narrow filter of oligarch-controlled media like news or television between them. We're all more alike than we think.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

i wrote 3600 words today! that's 3 days of writing close to 3k words per day! the hack is that i had to get bored enough to write. i got tired of binge-watching TV shows and lounging around, so it forced me to act. weird way to go about things but im not going to question it haha. it works. 🤞

had some pita bread and garlic hummus for lunch. i forgot how much hummus slapped. i could've easily eaten the whole container but i restrained myself. did you know that chocolate hummus exists? it sounds wild but it's so delicious. i have to be careful with it. its too easy to overindulge.

During the brazilian elections we learned one obvious but important tactic to defeat the far right on the Internet and I think everyone should know it: IGNORE THEM! DON'T ENGAGE WITH THEIR CONTENT! DON'T MAKE CONTENT REACTING TO THEM! DON'T HATE QRT! LET THEM ALONE IN THEIR BUBBLE!

yes, Quark is dusty. yes, i need to sweep. i am newly aware thanks to brightening the photos so you could all see his cute little face. i promise he's not normally this covered in schmutz ive just been slacking lately🤦‍♂️

OHMYGOSH THANK YOU 💜🥰 i am now at 200/330 towards my goal to hopefully reach by tuesday! 🫶🔥 for this fantastic milestone i am so grateful to everyone who has helped out that i wanna share one of my favorite types of angle with yall: sideboob squish turning into squishy soft side rolls & folds 👀✨

update on my quitting vaping journey: now im at a bit less than 0.25% nicotine and going below that is instantly noticeable. 0.125% is my new goal and i think i can get there but it will take time. i need to remember that quitting nicotine is a marathon, not a sprint. ive got this. i can do it!

went for another nice night walk with my sweetie. the moon is so full and beautiful right now. it makes me feel small in the best possible way. like, we are each tiny grains of star stuff in a vast universe with something like 100 billion galaxies in it. i think that's kind of amazing.

i wrote 2999 words today! two writing sessions in a row feels really fucking good. i hope i can keep up this momentum. its so amazing how much better i feel when i write. expressing yourself can be so very healing, ykwim?

last night when my partner and I went on a walk, we stumbled upon a kitty who followed us up the road a bit. it took everything in me not to pet them, but i learned my lesson the last time a neighborhood kitty swiped at me. just because a cat seems friendly doesn't mean they won't fuck you up.

baby kitten Quark somehow got a small felt tote handle wrapped around his midsection. he started snarling, rolling, and hissing. i thought i'd need to cut it off him but he got out of it. i hope he learned his lesson not to squeeze into small things willy nilly but he will probably do it again 🤦‍♂️.

scroll through the comments and the QRTs for some much needed good vibes. yes, things are awful in a lot of ways. however, things have also gotten better as well. we need to celebrate these wins.

took a nice night walk with my partner to wind down for the night. wore a big ass snuggie with zero fucks given. enjoyed the autumn weather, the conversation, and the brilliant moon. life can be pretty swell sometimes, if you let it.

i wrote 3243 words today! so that's two writing sessions this week. not as many sessions as i'd like and wish i could be more consistent, but i have to remember that every little bit counts. i dont have to pump out a novel in a month. i can rest, relax and write when im able to.
