Grandiloquent Word of the Day @grandiloquentwords.bsky.social · 4h

Petrichor [PET-rih-kor] (n.) - The pleasant smell that frequently accompanies the first rain after a long period of warm, dry weather. Use: "The petrichor of a sudden summer shower, mingled with the golden light of the setting sun, transported me straight back to my boyhood on an Iowa farm.”

A "Grandiloquent Word of the Day" meme featuring “Petrichor,” defined as the pleasant smell accompanying the first rain after a long period of warm, dry weather. On the right, a black-and-white illustration depicts two figures caught in a heavy rainstorm, shielding their faces beneath their hats. On the left, ornate typography presents the word, its pronunciation, definition, and an example sentence recalling a summer shower and childhood on an Iowa farm.

If nothing else, just read the opening paragraphs of the new @vevalenz.bsky.social piece. This sort of casual cruelty, and worse, is so common in U.S. jails/prisons that to most it barely registers as scandalous—but it is, and this reporting really matters: boltsmag.org/california-p...

Denying Catholic priests the ability to administer sacraments to Catholic prisoners is objectively insanely offensive to Catholicism in a way that almost nothing else could be

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.

, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.

As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

Interesting. I guess the New York Times thinks it’s appropriate for their employees to threaten to bonk me on the head and play horseshoes with my prominent goose egg. To fill my mouth with piano keys that fall out while tweety birds circle around my noggin. To turn my head into a giant whistle,

I believe it is good to be polite to robots not because they have consciousness (they do not) but because it is bad for the soul to let oneself become a vehicle for cruelty, even if directed at inanimate objects.

Can you imagine being a Northerner at the start of the civil war. All the fancy lad West Point military guys are Southerners. Your president is a backwoods yokel one term congressman and your generals are some guys we found at a 7-Eleven. It's over for our ass...unless all those guys are geniuses
