Is that candy corn?

Common Earthball mushroom. It looks cool but it can hurt you. Near the Rideau Lakes, Ontario. #fungus

As depressing as it can be to see that anger it’s not as depressing as the shame you’d feel if you stopped trying. Fight the good fight brother. Disconnecting leaves us without the opportunities to talk and we need talkers more than ever.

You did tell the Pentagon to “wipe the Taliban off the face of the earth.”

Democrats have the votes to release the Epstein files so yeah, it’s an insurrection. America is just a sad version of what it once was.

A tiny Pleated Inkcap mushroom (also called a Japanese Umbrella), begins its single day journey near Newboro, Ontario. By the evening it had vanished. #photography #nature #natureheals

The best medicine I have for my mental health is nature. There’s nothing like a walk along a quiet old country road in the morning. Wishing you a peaceful day ❤️

Glad you’re here friend.

My daughter died 12 and a half years ago and last night my mind let me think it was her who just texted me. Those moments are as nice and they are sad and I'll cherish them either way.

Suicide is so lonely and sad. If you need help please reach out and talk.

Not like the economy is going to fix itself. Just need to make up a war now.

That would help keep the hornets away.

Believe nothing America says. At this point all they have are lies and propaganda.

“To watch the descriptions of Palestinian suffering in much of mainstream Western media is to watch language employed for the exact opposite of language’s purpose—to watch the unmaking of meaning.”

Caught myself in this trap a few times. It can get expensive.

Bread in some form has been a part of humanity for at least ten thousand years and it’s a good skill to have. I made this sugar and salt free loaf today from memory with five ingredients: flour, honey, yeast, olive oil, and water. Perfect dipping bread.

The orange sunset caused by the forest fires is both beautiful and sad.

Came across an ant war during our morning walk and I noticed this big black ant carrying the severed corpse of its enemy while charging at their lines. Brutal.
