BEWARE OF SWAMP MONSTER Aka a Snapping Turtle #SpookyNature #SpookySeason #herps 🌿
A large reptilian face emerges from water covered in tiny green plants. Some of the leaves cover much of the big turtle’s face. One round eye and its wide mouth are visible. It’s a bit scary although also a bit goofy.

Yeah and that leverage is "earn my vote or you don't get my vote." Voting for someone no matter what they say or do just because they wear a certain color costume is literally giving any leverage you might have away. How is this so hard for people to grasp?

Related support spaces are full of folks asking if their reasons for wanting to estrange are "enough." I tell them that there will *always* be people ready and waiting to say that they aren't and that those people can kick rocks. All that matters is whether it's the healthier choice for you.

I *really* don't want to wait to get my seasonal vaxxes and, as the fed gov alleviated me of my employment, I have neither the funds nor the health insurance to manage it on my own. I am chronically ill/disabled and this is literally a life and death concern. I have enough to cover transportation--

The $50 received [thank you!] will cover transportation to one of the county's free flu shot events or, ideally, go toward a trip to the pharmacy to get my covid and flu vaxxes at the same time...if at least another $200 comes in 🙏

For three + years, teachers, writers, artists, humanities professors and so many others have been arguing exactly this--that this technology only produces an endless ouroboros of bland, sad, grey slop. But we were told that we were/are luddites, reactionary, old-fashioned, angry, etc etc.

Probably not a popular opinion, but I really feel like people who freak out about the social vs solo study and the so-called "death of hosting" are basically admitting that they conflate social consumption/vampirism with friendship. Screens vs Social is also the most Boomer framing I've ever seen.

on October 14, a black bear entered the Mammoth Lakes Library at 6 am. it was the 100th anniversary of the publication of Winnie-the-Pooh. the bear went directly to the employees' food supplies. i know what you're thinking. the answer is yes. he ate a pot of honey. this was a pilgrimage.

385K views · 119 reactions | On the very day the world marks 100 years since A.A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh was first published, a black bear made its way inside the Mammoth Lakes Library branch of the Mono County Free Libraries before opening hours — and, in a tribute no one asked for, went straight for the honey. Director of Libraries, Josef Bopp, shared that the bear entered the library at approximately 6:10 a.m, well before public opening at 10:00am. Upon entering, the bear went straight for the staff snack supply, where it helped itself to peanut butter, a selection of peach cups, a pawful of cookies and — of course — one jar of honey. Satiated, the bear then took a full tour of the library, perusing the new releases and inspecting the reference desk before, evidently content with its visit, letting itself out and departing for the day. Remarkably, no damage was reported. No shelves were toppled and no books were harmed, though the honey jar has not been returned at time of publication. “While we love an enthusiastic patron, and we understand the excitement of the centennial,” said Bopp, “we do remind patrons- and perhaps more importantly our bears- that snacks are not part of the circulating collection.” Winnie-the-Pooh was first published on October 14, 1926, introducing readers to a “Bear of Very Little Brain” with a very large appetite for honey. One hundred years later, the timing of the curious bears visit seems more than a coincidence. The library invites the community (human members only) to celebrate the centennial by visiting any of the seven #library of the #monocounty Free Libraries for a copy of Winnie-the-Pooh, or related bear titles! *On A Serious Note* Pooh may be cuddly, but #mammothlakes bears are wild. Residents and visitors are reminded to: • Keep a safe distance and never approach or feed a bear • Use bear-resistant trash containers and keep car doors and windows closed • Report bear encounters to Mammoth Lakes Police 760-932-7549, option 7. Or 911 in an emergency. As Pooh himself might say, it’s best to think, think, think before getting t | Mono County Free Libraries

Happy birthday, Daddio I miss you always ♥️
Photo of my dad and kid me, displayed in a lighted stained glass frame. Yes, my dad is sitting next to me, smoking. Yes, I'm sitting on top of a wet bar in my aunt's basement in my red velvet Christmas dress, sipping the last drippy drops of my dad's beer. It was like 1980 and it's my all-time favorite photo of my dad and me.
