@iylablue Sending you all our love from New Zealand. I think of you so often these days. I can only imagine how heartbreaking it is to be wayfaring this physical plane without your beautiful mom but I hope you feel her spirit and light encircling you whenever you need it the most. ❤️

Beauty is subversive in a culture that worships death and disorder. We can waste our breath pointing at the cesspools or turn to what’s beautiful and reflect it — articulate it — as a daily practice. This can be done quietly, too. The effect ripples outward.

@SchrodingrsBrat What did you expect would have already happened in your life?

What’s a simple question that lets you learn a lot about someone

My 4.5 y.o. is convinced it’s “Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life’s a butter dream” 🧈🧈🧈

@kadavy I get lose my appetite/momentum/curiosity for the project.

In one sentence, what stops you from finishing what you start?

@PicturesFoIder Malt vinegar 🤤🤤

What are you adding?

Once again I find that I'm among the five or six people on a packed plane who care to look out the window at views unavailable to humankind for almost all of our history on earth

The news is always like: "America has banned wheelchair ramps because they weren't in the Bible. Finland has made ice cream free."

In my defense she just asked me the following questions rapid fire - How do we make gummy bears? Why when you eat a lot of salt, it’s actually spicy? How many airplanes do we need to take to get to Hawaii?

@sariazout I would have the notifications only be reminders/prompts about interacting with nature. Closely examine a flower petal, gaze at a cloud for 60 seconds etc.

how would you design a social network if you were optimizing for glimmers?

I have a huge respect for people who build. The default condition of things is chaos because the world is entropic. If left alone, things deteriorate. It takes conscious effort to slow that down, let alone swim upstream and build against it.

Everyone needs a method of cultivating extreme stillness. It’s the only state of being that produces good decisions. Epiphanies and sudden moments of clarity are all born from periods of intense peace; the whispers of intuition can only be heard when your mental space is silent.

Sorry I missed your call. I don’t take those. I hate them

“How can it be racist if the police are Black?” BECAUSE THE INSTITUTION OF POLICING ITSELF IS RACIST

What I'll always remember is how PM Jacinda Ardern's leadership lead to New Zealand banning assault rifles and military-style semi-automatic weapons in just SIX days after the Christchurch mosque attacks. No greater example of what going beyond thoughts and prayers looks like.

Hydrangea flowers can be a good soil pH indicator. Its blooms are pink to blue with many shades of lavenders in between, Pink Hydrangeas indicate soil that is alkaline to neutral. Blue flowers indicate soil that is acidic, The reverse of litmus paper
