Owl
@typicaltheythem.bsky.social
Dynamically disabled dysautonomic they/them hermit living in a cottage in the woods. 🌲🏡🏳️‍⚧️

Part of the viral underclass disappeared from society by COVID denialism😷
But doing my best to be part of the collective good anyway💚
I was just reading words from Thich Naht Hahn and looked up through the kitchen skylight to see a bald eagle circling above my house.

How auspicious! I feel much less alone now.

I saw someone else make this comparison and now I can't unsee it

The US is a public bathroom.

This sign made me laugh, especially because it was being held by a tiny old white lady that looked like she had taught 2nd grade for 60 years

I'm listening to Burnout by Dr&Dr Nagoski. In a chapter on finding meaning in life, Emily says to pause and asks, "What am I doing when I feel most powerfully what I'm meant to be doing?"

I looked up, and there it is. This little patch of forest I'm meant to care for.

My annual Yule cake with homemade lemon marmalade 🤤

I only let myself make it for Yule so I look forward to it every year

Sorting through my kid's old Legos to mail to my nephew. Some of them are my brother's old Legos from the 90s.

I took the liberty of disposing of a few of them

Life, uh, finds a way.

I always pictured myself as Robin Hood, but actually I'm one of these old owls, and that's a comforting realization.

People: "How are you doing?"

Me, sitting in my car biting directly into half of a grocery store cake at 2pm on a Thursday: "Hangin' in there!"

After two months of physical therapy, I have finally overcome my rolling over in bed injury 💪

This was the meme. I hope the author is doing okay.

I just came across this comment I wrote on Facebook on March 24, 2020, in response to an Ed, Edd and Eddy meme about returning to the status quo after COVID-19.

I used to love 'I-told-ya-so's

I don't like how protest signs have become a contest for the wittiest. Most of them end up trying to be funny just end up reading as painfully unaware.

But this, I love. The greasy pizza box, the stink lines, the painting of the poop with anus-like lips... *chef's kiss*

Thinking of one of my favorites from @existentialcomics.com today

Thank you, anarchists, for your contributions toward a better society in the here and now!

Nervous system reset chain:

I'm going to put my hands on my heart and take deep breaths, then root my feet on the ground & envision good energy going to the earth.

You do the same - root your feet and breathe the energy up. When you feel grounded, send it back to the earth for the next person.

Sigh.

Still masking because my life matters and yours does, too!

Haven't posted a palate cleanser in awhile, even though I wanted it to be a daily gratitude practice. Oops!

Here's a branch from my almond tree that I pruned too late in the winter and then brought inside to flower. 🌱🌸

Today I'm grateful for seedlings!

These tiny babies are just 2 days old. Look at em go!

I set up a seedling heat mat and a grow light in my laundry room and am excitedly starting seeds. I don't quite know where I'll put these guys between this stage & going outside. A problem for later Nic.
