Love Christianity for simultaneously being able to say that the real reward is in heaven but also that there are good things that are temporary it’s a very beautiful thing to find joy in both the lesser and the higher

patience is such a compelling dynamic in relationships sorryyy it’s the peak of romance to me

If I use a fallen log to cross over something, even if it’s a tiny stream only two inches deep, then my walk now qualifies as an adventure.  I don’t make the rules, I just enjoy them.

Just heard IDF rescued two hostages from Gaza right now omg

I hope this is true, going to find some sources confirming and will share here if I find anything!!

good morning everyone, the iberian lynx is no longer in the brink of extinction 🥰🥰

Okay but can we also fucking appreciate Cathy, Michael and Tim,,,

These exchanges between a bigot named Brendan Sullivan, and a heroic troll named Robert Graves, will be the best thing you read all day, I promise.

Always, good things!🧚🏽‍♀️💜😌

my hearing has been aided and holy shit is this how you guys hear all the time

Here is what my mother told me when I was young: the world is harsh. It is unforgiving and it has teeth. Take no shit.

Here is what I have learned from the world: it is wounded and the humans scattered throughout it are rarely the rats of Rat Park, they are the tired, trembling experiments in need of more kindness, not less. Do no harm.

Here's what I have learned from the world: humans are good. They are soft, and gentle, and they are wounded, all of them. When humans were young and wild, they looked at the snarling beasts that came to their fires, the ones with sharp teeth in their long muzzles, and they saw soft fur and the welcome-home wag of a tail.

Here is what I have seen: Given an opportunity, humans will choose creation and love. They will create art, and music, and community. They will tell each other stories, sing each other songs, help each other heal. Even without safety, even when it wounds them, they will love. They will love each other - their family, their friends, their mates - and they will love the world.

Here is what I have seen: there is hope. Sometimes it is ugly and twisted and burns, but humans will hold onto it with both hands and their entire heart. They will share it with one another. They will use it to tame beasts with fur and teeth as well as the ones that live inside of themselves. They will create because of it; they will say I hope this makes someone smile, I hope this makes someone cry. I hope this saves someone. And it will.

Here is what I know to be true: evidence of a healed broken bone from thousands of years ago reminds us that what makes us human isn't our wounds, but how we care for one another through them.

Here is what my mother told me: the world will gnash its sharp teeth at me. It will try to wound me.

Here is what I know to be true: I am human, and humans heal one another and can turn sharp teeth into wagging tails.

The Spirit helps us in our weakness

I haven't seen my dad in..... 12 years? In person anyway. We've sent photos every so often, and a video or two.

(Many, many reasons one of which being every single time I've tried to set up a visit, something has fallen through. Either on my end or his. It simply kept not working out. Year after year. Before I knew it, 12 (ish) years had passed! It's sad, really sad, tbh....)

But I am so excited because 1) I get to see my dad and 2) my husband is meeting my dad for the first time and 3) my babies are meeting their grand-pappi for the first time.

So many great things!!

I think I made..... I didnt actually count it yet but possibly $15 over the last 3 days? Technically joining the sale was to get rid of things not to make muns. But it's still nice to have pocket funds.

Yard sales are a dwindling event these days. I hope they don't go extinct. There is a certain coexisting thrill of the 'hunt' and quiet intimacy of meeting people and acquiring their long-cherished belongings.

I've attended and hosted/been apart of many 'a sale and simply enjoy the process/experience. (Even though these days the set up and tear down broke me more)

Upside? Got rid of a decent amount of little clutter AND acquired leftovers from my friend that I love. A cardigan she'd gotten and I think simply never wore. A box that was previously our mutual friend's before that, haha.

A woven blanket which is nice. And a couple of autumn jackets. Things I will use and enjoy in the place of things that cluttered my space and mind, causing distress. I think it went well. Oh and a meat mallet. Which has been on my 'need to search thrift for one' list for like 3 months. So that worked out!

I'm content. Feeling rough. But content. ♡

I’m the kind of friend that if you want to cuddle just grav me and pull me in, and I will do the same to you.
