The cover for the book Serviceberry. On it is a drawing of a bird behind a cluster of serviceberries of different ripenesses.
Excited to begin my reading of the Service Berry by Robin Wall Kimmerer! Initial thoughts: I find it poetic and am enjoying this thought of 'enoughness': That we already have enough for everybody on the planet. #booksky 📚💙
Ive been thinking about misinformation lately. Imagine a pond, still and clear. Then a rain drop hits it rippling outward.
How do you stop the ripple? Is it more drops or is it waiting for the ripple to stop on its own?
I was planning to spend my downfall of civilization day miserable, but i think you're right.
Was about to throw out some protein powder because of lactose then I had a doomsday prepper thought so I am now one packet of protein powder more prepared for a doomsday than I was yesterday.
Life is difficult for the hinged. Become unhinged.

"Human nature is not a machine to be built after a model, and set to do exactly the work prescribed for it, but a tree, which requires to grow and develop itself on all sides, according to the tendency of the inward forces which make it a living thing."
—John Stuart Mill
From my journal today: Allow yourself to be worse at being human but take notes. Surely nobody expects you to remember all the rules by yourself.
The staple... Not so much.
I had been wondering why they said i couldn't compost teabags and yet my teabags were composting.
After reading news about teabags containing microplastics I had to do a not so quick internet search to see if my favorite tea has been turning me into a wax sculpture.
Reader, I am happy to report the answer is no: my favorite tea comes with a little staple through the bag.
They look like hibiscus flowers to me. I usually dry them out and use them as a tea.

December is already a better month for my projects. Remembering to take my vitamin D and go outside makes a huge difference.
Modern luxury is the ability to think clearly, sleep deeply, move slowly, and live quietly in a world designed to prevent all four. - Justin Welsh
Living luxuriously
I keep reading that this is a place for kinder people, but gentle souls have always been among us. We just couldn’t hear them anymore. Perhaps our gathering here is proof that we missed those voices. What a wonderful thing to believe about ourselves. It can be a bold move to choose kindness.

One of the things I've been enjoying most about #booksky is seeing all the neat books everyone else is reading, so in that spirit here's my favorite book quote that's stuck with me in the past month.

On one hand being sick sucks.
Wrapped in blankets staring blankly at the floor sipping on tepid water avoiding the gaze of harsh amber light I installed last month.
But on the other hand I've never been better at solving plotholes. Maybe I should do this more often?

Oh goodness! Do you have a favorite? Personally i like all the colors but the iroshizuku has the best viscosity.
Ink Bottles
My collection of inks, and all the bottles are different shapes. I don't know how to store them! 😅
I think it was Hannah Arendt who said that Loneliness: a loss of shared experiences, gives rise to totalitarianism. So to whomever needs to hear it: thank you for sharing your passions. Thank you for having a unique identity. It helps.
I suppose I should post something here, but I don't know what to post. So here's a nothing to occupy your eyes while I think of something.
