I'm still trying to figure me out, find my place in the scheme of things. I do better and best when I'm doing. Major life changes this year, another reset button engaged. Fingers crossed it'll be the last one. I've never been tamed or settled, but thinking it might be nice for a change. Some days are better than others. Embracing tootfinder

Does Mitch McConnell have a family? Does anyone love him enough to talk with him about... the finite nature of life. The preciousness of hours, minutes seconds?

How from dust we all have come and to dust we shall all return?

He could be petting some kittens. Listening to the sound of a child's laugh-- Dude really wants to die in front of us holding a pen mid-way through signing a bill that forces orphans to work in coal mines or something.

@futurebird unless I'm horribly mistaken, he suffered polio as a child. Which makes his actions as a leader in Congress even more puzzling to me.

President Jimmy Carter is said by his family to be in his final days. My heart goes out to his loved ones and to our nation as a whole, who will have lost a good and decent man. Let his example be a beacon of hope, and let us all exhibit the kind of selflessness, compassion, and kindness he exuded all his days.

@georgetakei I hope he makes it to his 99th October 1, at least. I'm honored to have known him

Awake.

Probably a night of sleep that was slightly helpful to the state of me. A longer than desired wakeup period during it, but not nearly so long as what I've been experiencing recently.

I've already had tea and a banana to help me wake up. Washed and smoothed my face. Making another pot of tea. Getting myself sorted to be ready for when Ginza shows up outside so i can go out and sit and chat with her. This morning I'm not going to make any effort to coax her inside the apartment...

After all legal trouble that's brewing above Trump's head, is he still able to run the next election?

When I said that the college athlete NIL law passing, transfer portal happening, hiring Black head coaches, and eventually, paying players would increase graduation rates and revenue for the NCAA, lots of y'all didn't believe me.

If you stayed up late watching Colorado vs CSU, now you get it.

Would you rather make:

A) 95% of $20 billion, but Black kids get next to nothing.

B) 50% of $50 billion, but you have to give $25 billion to Black people.

This math is surprisingly hard for racists.🤷🏿‍♂️

@mekkaokereke 'give to black people' seems to be a four word phrase containing a four letter word racists can't even begin to mentally imagine

    The drawdown market is growing which is some real, tangible

    Direct Air Capture (DAC) made up 3% of the tonnes purchased, and Biochar accounts for 2% of the purchases.

    The CDR.fyi Price Index for H1 2023 is $450/tCO2. This is a slight decline from 2022, driven by increased adoption of higher-priced CDR methods. https://medium.com/

    @GreenFire I have concerns as well, but I'm happy we're doing something. And hopeful the process will be monitored for compliance. I may be way off base but it seems potentially as ripe for grift as the pandemic funding

    I didn’t have any eclipse-viewing glasses

    So I’m doing this old-school

    Modified cardboard box built out of crap lying around my house

    Poke a tiny hole in one end, tape some paper for a viewing screen on other, and …

    … voila, a camera obscura

    I use something like this seven or eight years ago to see an eclipse, it worked really well

    A man’s hand holding up a cardboard cube, with the edges tape together using masking tape, completely closed except for a 3 inch strip near the bottom of one edge. Inside that open space you can see the edge of a piece of white paper taped to the inner surface of one side of the cube

    @Papablue I was glad to see the rain, but it did go on and on. Even though it's been a wet season here, the unusually warm summer has depleted the amount of moisture significantly. Already the leaves are turning, almost a month earlier than they did last year, which was also quite early.

    It's unsettling to me, but we just roll with it, right?

    Happy gardening 🙏 💚 🌱 🎶 💙

    @MKSinSA I am so sorry! I didn't want to brag, but it's been every other day here for the past month at least, and they've been substantial.

    I truly do feel for those dealing with drought and with flooding. But let's try something, if you're game? Send me frog images. And have everyone in Texas send me frog images.

    Humor me. I'll explain later

    I just made doggo a new toy box from cardboard and outdoor fabric scraps. Now we have to learn how to get them out and put them away. I've named them all to help facilitate this. We'll see how it goes

    White German shepherd mix dog lies down in confusion/frustration that his toys are now in the new blue, turquoise, and white handmade toy box.
