Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 6hTrying to reach Kid Rock about a musical matter should be a felony all on its own. 3160
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 6hAmazing to watch them weave with so much precision. 000
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 6hPost your flower pictures. Share that bird you saw, that sunrise or sunset, that thing you made or found. Be your human self. We could all do with more humanity these days. The inhumanity of the world will wash us all away without it. That’s just what I think. // 371158
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 6hIt has an effect. It is like walking with someone and having them say “Hey, look at THAT!” It doesn’t even matter what it is. There is something fundamentally human and ‘connective’ about it. I think that matters. Especially now. 5/ 4835
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 6hI can tell you that whatever time I make to simply walk outside and take in the air, the sun, the weather, and the day… it leaves me feeling… better. I can also tell you that I appreciate when people post *their own* simple observations of the world as they see it. 4/ 1616
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 6hIt just seems to me that we are, in a way, drowning our own “real worlds” in a tsunami of the very worst things from the larger world. We’re replacing an awakeness to what is outside our windows with a numb sleepwalk through whatever is on our screens. 3/ 3526
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 6hWe are living through a period where there is so much horrible and wrong and alarming which we can do little about on a daily basis… and we are so continuously bombarded with that reality on social media. I think the constant pummeling has a subtle, insidious secondary effect. It is numbing. 2/ 2705
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 6hI’ve been paying more attention to sunrises and sunsets lately. That has been intentional. I just find something about first and last light of day to be tranquil and calming. It isn’t so much the sunrise or sunset itself. It’s the act of being present in the observation of the world as it is. 1/ 3244726
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 13hYou are very welcome, friend. When you’re done with that, maybe Google “escaped domestic ducks” for another fun rabbit hole. 010
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 14h…which then makes it suddenly vital that you research ‘goose hybridization’ literally while standing next to the pond. Anywaaaaay, I saw two hybrid geese today. It was neat. // 162133
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 14h…and then figuring out that it was these two… 2/ 31322
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 14hHaving ADHD is walking by a pond with a hundred Canada geese; noticing that two are honking different than the rest; and then needing to figure out which two it was… 1/ 1024210
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 17hRoot’s Farm Market in Manheim, PA not far from Lancaster. 050
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 17hIf you eat it right after you buy it, it doesn’t have any calories. That’s just science. 2190
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 17hIt’ll cost you dearly. A pastry like that will set you back… $1.75. 1150
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 17hIt’s basically an apple pie in a homemade jelly donut. It is magical. 0140
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 17hSo, I stopped at this huge Amish market yesterday and bought an ‘Apple Long John’. [second row, all the way on the right] I want to choose my words carefully to not sound hyperbolic here… It might have been the greatest thing in the history of anything ever. I would marry that pastry. 2153543214
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Anyone ever been to Root’s Farmer’s Market in Lancaster County, PA? My Lordt, that is one hell of a place. The food… Sweet fancy Moses, just a damn wonderland. 81290

Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Weekly tradition time: ending the week with some light no matter how dark the days. Tell me something good. What good thing happened in your life this week? Small, medium, or large, size doesn’t matter. Just something good. 991426
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Another pretty one from somewhere in Pennsylvania last night. 532911
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 01/10/2026No, but Cook Forest is ON MY LIST. I believe it’s virgin pine rather than deciduous but I literally have a stack of brochures in the car about the place. It’s a bit of a schlep for me but I’m def going at some point. 140
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Right?! I do love a good pine wood but old deciduous forests are just a different thing. 020
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Y’all, look at this absolute *unit* of a sycamore tree I found in the Pennsylvania woods. This giant was an absolute specimen. Over 200 years old. A trunk that dwarfed little ol’ six-foot me. I named it ‘Tree Rex.’ That’s an elder, man. An ancient. I do love me an old tree. 2050245
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Friends… friends… FRIENDS… look what I saw yesterday. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “My gosh, Mike. Is that a *great spangled fritillary*?!” Why, yes. Yes, it is. Pretty little fritty, no? [Also super chill. Let me get this close with my phone.] 2234613
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Wasn’t planning on stopping by one of my favorite places but it was on the way and the weather was just so effing spectacular, how could I not? As perfect an early fall day as you will ever find. Blue sky. Crisp autumn air. Bald eagles having a conversation across the water. Perfect. 125187
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Weekly tradition time: finding a glimmer no matter the gloom. Tell me something good. What good thing happened in your life this week? Saw the lights come up on Broadway or caught a sunset over Gotham, both work. Just something good. 81998
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 17/09/2026How dare you. You’ll be hearing from my lawyers. 080
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Find someone who loves you as much as I loved this burrito. 1534812
Hoarse Whisperer @therealhoarse.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Ugh. New Jersey is so ugly. How does anyone live here. Just look at all of this… nature and stuff. 283339
