As found in David Nicholls’s 📖 You Are Here (2024). Different ICE 🧊 🏔️ but yes, unimaginably violent — as fascists will be.

A phrase from the 2024 novel You Are Here, author David Nicholls, that reads “So ice is unimaginably violent…”

The question is: The end of #aging? The end of aging is, of course, death ☠️ . 🍂 Aging is living. I’m doing it. You are, too. Everyone‘s doing it with every inhale and exhale 😮‍💨. Sorry, Oil of Olay, L’Oreal, Clinique, etc. Join the work to #EndAgeism

National Geographic magazine September 2026 cover reads The end of aging?

@wsdot.wa.gov that you? Or is it @transportation.seattle.gov? This #WestSeattle intersection in Alki has featured *some* transportation design to encourage slower driving but more generally it’s been unmarked for at least 3️⃣ years. #CalmStreets #LetUsWalk #StreetsForPeople🚧🚸🚷🚳🚶🏽‍♂️🚶‍♀️👩🏼‍🦼‍➡️2️⃣5️⃣🚴🚴🏼‍♂️🚧🕺🏾💃🏻❣️#Streets

A #WestSeattle intersection that features some transportation design to encourage slower driving but more generally it’s been unmarked for at least three years. There are newly visible sprayed paint markings that may mean actual crosswalks are imminent. No time too soon.

Breaking news! This vintage met my deodorant crystal 💎 & it’s shattered into too many small 🛘shards. #HamFisted

Smaller ceramic square tiles in dark burgundy and larger square tiles in a sort of ecru.

Having neither read a Harry Potter book nor seen a film of, I suppose I’m not qualified to comment but this recent “Wizarding World” brand find @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social? Heavy on the manga mood. The original user of the accompanying marking pens 🖊️wasn’t having it & went rogue! 🐷⛅️🩵🎀I love it.

Three pages from a Harry Potter coloring book featuring manga-like black and white figures and very intricate bits waiting to be colored in. A fourth image in which someone who clearly gave up on those others and made her own picture, a standing pig with a purple ribbon and a blue sky with white clouds and a bit of a sun peeking out.

Sometimes #litter might be a still life sketch. Then again, it might just be an inadvertently dropped on the pavement child’s drawing. Maybe it‘s all of these. 🌱 ✏️ 📝 🌷

A small piece of paper approximately the size of a business card with what may be a child’s scribble or it might be a pencil drawing of a still life depicting flowers in a vase perhaps. Hard to know because it was a bit of found litter.

Generally not a fan of painted rocks (prefer them the way they are 🪨 ) but here’s one that says a lot that I agree with — 💯%, in fact. #IAmAntifa ♥️ #AntiFascist ♥️ #ProDemocracy

A palm-sized stone in a garden bed at the base of a birdbath and next to a figurine of a bird. The stone is painted with the message I AM ANTIFA. A heart symbol is also included.

Well, it’s “judgment” but also, does any other role, e.g., have such a bold (arrogant and bullying) but it’s a sampler-quaint-cushion message? I mean, I don’t see nurses or librarians asserting such a thing. I do think I can guess why not.

A cushion with a stitched-on message that reads never but never question the engineer’s judgement.

Found at a @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social, not a new or recent book but that title! Not quibbling w/ the science, i.e., strength-training but definitely wish we’d all reject the ageist message that old=negative=weak=frail=BAD. Let’s #EndAgeism b/c it’s corrosive. Living=Aging 🍃 #HealthierFutures

A book with the title Strong Women Stay Young

Ciao! Have you read this book? Not a new title which makes it particularly interesting imo. Bologna features prominently.

Spotted clinging to a vehicle near me. And I dislike the message for two reasons: drivers in vehicles not slowing down are threats and growing old isn’t a bad thing—ageist thinking makes it so. If you’re living, you’re aging. #EndAgeism & drivers, #SlowDown. ✌🏼

A decal on a vehicle, with the message never slow down, never grow old. There is a reflection of evergreen trees and white clouds and blue sky in the window.

From this week‘s apartment search feat in the NYTimes, in which the budget was $1,000,000.

A screenshot of poll for the NYTimes regular feature The Hunt, in which readers speculate on which of 3 options was chosen. The first question is Which would you choose? The second question is Which did the person we meet choose? Here, most readers chose the Fort Greene Boutique Condo for both and by a wide margin. But the person chose a unit in a so-called Super Tall building.

Brings this to mind. When I first saw it, I had 2 thoughts: Older lungs, too, of course. And, how depressing that the students have to seemingly beg for it, for adults to get that idling has harmful impacts. 🚗💨 🤢 #CleanAir #NoIdling #LungHealth #BrainHealth

A sign posted at a school depicting a vehicle and children walking and the message in the exhaust of the vehicle asks Would you idle your engine knowing it can stunt young lungs?

Pardon my intrusion on this Women’s History Month? I love the smell of Forever stamps any time of day. These two! Among my heroes. Men among men. Men among guys. Men among bros. P. S. Write a letter if you can. 📬

Time is a fascinating construct. Daylight saving time? Less so. And my wristwatch really didn’t want to go there, as this image reflects from overnight 7th March ➡️ 8th March 2026⌚️🗓️🛑

DOGE & Trump attempt(ed) to decimate national service. The @americorps.bsky.social website is recently back online and includes an utterly uninspiring statement from the malevolent orange about faith and God — and too many too bigs, too.

A screenshot of the newest (as of March 4 2026) version of the AmeriCorps website because the tech bros of DOGE ruined a good thing. The website includes a creepy faith and god statement from the current president whose vision of a theocracy is unconstitutional.
