Working my church job this morning, rev Stefan begins with “Hello, welcome, and I’m sorry you couldn’t get brunch reservations”. Best opener I’ve heard in a long time haha

Today’s tiny ray of hope: repotted a bunch of my seedlings. Some of those itty bitty tomatoes have 6-8” root systems. That feels hopeful. Any tiny rays of hope for you lately?
In front of a window, under grow lights, hundreds of tiny plants are growing in little containers of various sizes.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, author of The Gulag Archipelago, has something to say to us today: “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: what would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive..."
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If… if… We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more—we had no awareness of the real situation… We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

– Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago

Borscht, lasagna, butternut soup and sushi bowls are available for ordering! Pay what you can, even if that’s nothing. Good enough to get rave reviews from food nerds and fits EVERY budget, because everyone deserves to eat good food. #Winnipeg #MutualAid www.noblewhimsical.com/wfd

ADHD is putting off a thing for weeks, agonising over putting off the thing, catastrophising about putting off the thing, getting stressed about the catastrophising, contributing hours of energy to all of the above, then one day impulsively doing the thing and having it take 5 minutes.

You should go to musuem or an observatory or a botanical gardens or a zoo or an aquarium or even the library and learn as much as you can while you can. Learn about things you have never experienced. Learn how people and places and things are or were far across time and space. Revel in experiences.

A male Anna's Hummingbird facing the camera, showing off the bright magenta iridescence of his throat and forehead feathers.

This is a small bird with a fluffy grey chest, with a few green iridescent feathers mixed in. The iridescent feathers on his head and throat are an incredibly vibrant magenta, fading to orange at the side and dark blue at the top. He has large black eyes, and a long, thin black bill.
