Knowing my desire to expand my fiction reading, a friend recommended John Irving's, A Widow for One Year. This is now my favorite Irving novel! #BookSky 📚 💙 #JohnIrving #Reading

Tea and warm chocolate chip cookies, crossword solving with my hunny, garden herb-kissed breeze through the windows, biscuits from the kitty, and snuggles from my pup - a beautifully loving and peaceful launch into days of travel. #HomeZen #LoveMyLife #Balance #ItsAllStory #TravelDays

This year, I challenged myself to read more fiction, and I'm happy to report that it is going well. Currently immersed in The Oracle Glass and The Puzzle Master—two very different journeys, both richly rewarding. #BookSky 📚 💙 #Fiction #ReadingMoreThanCards #AmReading #ThankYouAuthors

“Well, let’s stop that trajectory for the day right now,” she comments aloud, as the ten-minute search for her phone comes to an end when she finally feels it resting in the back pocket of her 501s. 😆 How is your Friday going??

Spent the morning hauling dirt, pulling weeds, and tending the garden. Feeling a little tired and a whole lot satisfied. Those future homegrown salads are going to taste all the sweeter. 🥗🌱

NEW: The censors are coming for the students. A new policy in Texas expands the scope of educational censorship, taking a red pen to student research. Do you think it’s OK to tell students what they can and can’t think about? Read more from PEN America here. pen.org/censors-are-...

Everything sucks and there’s slop everywhere, but it’s still an amazing time to be a reader. Good job, authors. Keep at it.

This is the kind of unhinged, completely understandable behavior I respect. But seriously, what was the book?

Picture of a studious looking man wearing glasses in a sweater and staring daggers at the camera Headline: Man arrested after breaking into a Barnes and Noble at midnight to finish a book he had been reading in-store for four consecutive days and needed to resolve before sleeping. Beneath is a comment "How DARE you not drop that book title what kind of bush league journalism is this?!

Some days call for embodying the T-800 archetype.

A brightly lit Terminator 2: Judgment Day pinball machine stands in a retro-themed corner, its playfield glowing with red and blue lights. The backbox artwork shows a half-human, half-cyborg face and futuristic figures, while nearby walls are covered with vintage posters.

Picking up 2 pies from one of my fave pizza shops - Old School in Olympia. The mural along the building is epic! Check alt text for details. #comics #Marvel #art

Hi. My name is Christopher Ross. I painted this mural 10 years ago for my friends who own the pizzeria. I’m stoked you love it. The owner of Old School grew up with the puzzle. I painted it in 10 days in the summer of 2002. Its all freehand, no projections. It is 17×24 feet, and the 132 characters are life size

Liminal space is not empty. It is a living corridor where instincts sharpen and purpose clarifies.

Sunbeams stream through dense morning fog in a forest, illuminating a dirt road that curves gently ahead. Tall trees line both sides, their leaves catching the light, while fallen leaves scatter across the ground and a mossy log rests near the roadside.

Pay attention to February 20th. The final Saturn-Neptune conjunction occurs at 0º Aries. Saturn-Neptune conjunctions happen rarely, about every 36 years, so this is huge. (The last time Saturn and Neptune came together, the Berlin Wall fell!) #astrology

Four months ago, my partner began brewing an anti-inflammatory mung bean soup as a steady staple in our kitchen. This morning, I was in charge of the alchemy; coconut milk for silk, chopped celery for brightness, a generous scatter of parsley for green vitality. Mmmm.
