Nature Freak

hi everybody if there is a food or medicine recall and it is only an issue in the USA can we please make sure that this is mentioned somewhere in the post so that people don't have to hunt through articles and comments and ask follow up questions to make sure we don't have to freak ourselves or our friends/family out about the food we eat or the meds we take. peace and love! and sorry about the recalls!

Also for invasive animals. Believe it or not, animals that are invasive in the US had to come from another part of the world where they're part of the ecosystem. Pretty sick of seeing posts saying "this animal is invasive and you need to kill every one you see." People live all around the world, and I do not trust all of them to look into *where* a species is invasive exactly when given an excuse to kill things "for the greater good."

idk who needs to hear this but if you have been putting something off bc it doesn't need to be done until the end of the month. we are almost done with the teens we are approaching the big numbers (the twenties). that date shall dawn upon you swiftly and without mercy before you know it. psa for everyone except me i got plany off time

it’s such a basic part of the reality of disabled people as a whole but it’s STILL so hard to get ppl to understand that some people will simply die without 24/7 care. their care is not for comfort, it’s not for fun, it’s literally a matter of life and death. “if their care was taken away i’m sure they’d learn to suck it up like the rest of us!” – something ive heard time and time again. no they wouldn’t, they would die. they HAVE died. they continue to die as cuts are made to welfare and health. why is this so impossible for people to grasp.

We need to love the world because that's the only place we can hang out

i love when i can see the moon during the day. it’s like she’s looking out for us even though she doesn’t have to. she’s so kind

Invasive plants need to be understood as part of a much larger cycle of incredible violence against the land.

not to be all "these two words will change your life" or whatever, but I promise you, programming in "good catch!" as your response to people correcting you/pointing out errors or whatever removes so much friction from interactions, and comes with a delightful happy meal toy of "not hating yourself so much for making mistakes"

I use "I stand corrected" a lot. The mild silliness of the outdated language makes it work for me.

Some is better than none. Some is better than none. Some is better than none. Walking for three minutes, is better than nothing. Drinking a glass of water and eating a snack, is better than nothing. Wiping down the counter, is better than nothing. Small things are not nothing. Small things are not nothing. Small things are not nothing. You don’t have to achieve grand things if all you’re capable of right now is the smaller things. They are still achievements. Don’t do nothing just because you don’t think you’re capable of doing bigger things, just do something you’re capable of today.

people like the idea that there is an identity they can claim that will absolve them of the responsibility to examine their beliefs and actions and adjust them accordingly to better align with their values and desired outcomes but there isn't, we all have to practice humility and do the work regardless
