This is Gordie. He's demonstrating what is known in the business as a sweetie pie semi-sploot. It's when you haven't quite figured out how to sit yet but are so cute it doesn't matter. 12/10 (IG: rubyandgordie)

I made insanely delicious soup today. Was gonna make vegetable but found turkey thighs at the store and went freestyle, just as mom did.

Honestly, I long for the day again when I can wake in the morning and not have to brace myself from some new horror committed by a man and his regime who are feeding themselves on the ruins of public liberty.

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.

They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

Thank you, Sly. 🌟✨
Heard the sad news about Sly Dunbar on the school run of all places. I don’t even really know where to start with his immeasurable contribution to music and, well, everything, but watching him at work is best.

Here’s Sly and Robbie in action with Black Uhuru at the Rainbow in Finsbury Park in 1981

The collective hurt, pain, sadness, leading to collective anger. This country will take a very long time to heal. If it ever does. I wish ***you know who you are*** would've listened. We told you it would come. But you refused to believe it was coming for you, and didn't care about the rest of us.

I follow the quiet signs—
deer tracks by the creek,

small miracles underfoot.

This bobtail squid burrowing into the sand is already adorable, but please watch till the very end!

It sticks out its little arms and earnestly sprinkles sand over itself 🦑𓂃◌𓈒𓐍

In case of racist uncles or dead moms or someone saying "only two genders" or your gifts didn't arrive on time or you have a tummy ache or this day is just awkward and you wish it was over:

The sweetest thing I will read today is already in the bag:
Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.
