Yeah, olive oil and cheese and pastries can make you a little fat. Yeah, sunshine gives you wrinkles and wine ruins your liver and spending money on pretty things eats up your savings. But unfortunately, I've decided to enjoy life anyways

"But @claireb76.bsky.social, it's not clutter. It's the Japanese art of tsundoku." In Japanese, "tsundoku" (积ん読) means collecting books and letting them pile up, not from neglect, but for the joy of knowing they're there, full of untold stories. It combines "tsumu" (to pile up) & "doku" (to read).

One among many. #nature #forest #photography #wander #mood #Teutoburgerwald
​A vertical, eye-level photograph of a dense forest filled with tall, slender tree trunks. The trees are packed closely together, creating a repetitive vertical pattern of grey and brown bark. A single trunk in the middle of the frame is struck by a narrow, intense beam of golden sunlight, causing it to glow brightly while the surrounding trees remain in deep shadow. The forest floor is covered in dry, brown vegetation, and the background fades into a soft, dark blur.

Tiny star! Photo from my collection, no date/info.
Black-and-white photo of a short haired tuxedo tabby kitten. It is sitting up on a  table covered in light fabric, in what is probably a photo studio. It is looking up brightly as if somebody might be waving a toy above its head, and it’s wearing a tiny bell around its neck.

Just want to say a giant FU to PBAC, which is only recommending semaglutide (Wegovy) to be listed on the PBS for patients who've *already* experienced a cardiovascular event such as a heart attack, stroke, or have symptomatic peripheral arterial disease. This is horribly bad public policy

There’s been a mass shooting at Bondi Beach. It was the first in Australia in 29 years. There’s been a mass shooting at Brown University. It was the first in the United States in far fewer than 29 days. Our policies are deadly every week and our mentality is a deadly export. #BondiBeach #Brown

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god
The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken.  How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

Our teen son has been a bit sick with a sore throat for days now. We presumed it was a virus. It finally occurred to me (a pathologist) that it could be tonsillitis. So his dad (ear, nose and throat surgeon) finally looks in his throat. Yep, tonsillitis. Medical parents are THE WORST! #medsky
