White-tailed Deer are pretty common in my neighborhood but I’m continually surprised that something so big and majestic could pass through my yard #NationalWildlifeDay#mammals 🌿

I hope every day you all are trying to cultivate joy. A kindness to a neighbor. A long walk. Poetry. Birdwatching. Meditation. Being silly and playing peekaboo in a checkout line with a cute baby. These are dark times, and joy is something the bastards cannot take from us. Fight for it.

If only there were satirical books and films that tried to warn us that this was coming

A screenshot from the movie Brazil: a man at a table with 3 older ladies in outlandish costumes with caked in makeup. One is dabbing the sutures of her recent cosmetic surgery. In this scene, terrorist bombs destroy a large portion of the restaurant, and the diners continue to eat and gossip as though nothing out of the ordinary is happening.

Regardless of your political ideology, if there is a movement, social group, or technology which actively discourages you from thinking or imagining things for yourself, you need to be very very very skeptical if not reject it outright. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

Trump may do more for the energy transition than any other individual through sheer incompetence, just like JD Vance may do more than anyone else for the cause of global antifascism simply by being viscerally repellent.

Palantir is part of the "regressive and harmful" subculture that destroyed USAID, terminated mRNA research, trashed NIH & CDC & FDA & EPA, and brought back measles. Within the next few years, their subculture will be responsible for more preventable deaths than any other in human history. /6

21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful.

22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

Hope is a muscle. Did uchikomi drumming for thirty continuous minutes this morning, but struggled to breathe and meditate. I’ll be in taiko class tonight, and deeply grateful for it. Every day I pray for strength, so this vibration I’m building may reach others. Louder. Louder. Hope is a muscle.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake

By A Horse

Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food.

I am thinking I would like to try cake.

Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape.

Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy.

Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much.

I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on."

Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

Dealing with stress by hitting it. Loudly. Finally healthy enough to do taiko again. Signed up for two classes, and planning to make this my martial art slash gym. Made myself a practice drum out of a horse bucket and packing tape. Just got some... girthy... new bachi. This is how I banish demons.

A large plastic bucket with packing tape stretched over one side to create a drumming surface. A pair of bachi rests on top of the practice drum.

A hand holding a very thick Japanese drum stick, called a bachi. It says Love Peace Hope on it, but kinda looks like it could be used as a club.
