@LKHamilton Blessed Mabon!

@LKHamilton It’s absolutely not just you. If one could say that the vibe of the country was a thing, this would be it.

[Walton County Sheriff's Office, Florida @WCSOFL]

National News Outlets,

If you’re wondering why your emails are going unanswered it’s this type of reporting below.

▪️Let’s get our facts straight. There were not three separate incidents. There were two. In the second shark encounter, two people injured.

▪️The map used in this story is wildly inaccurate. The second incident happened EAST of the first near Seacrest. NOT Seascape, which is more than 25 miles away. Details matter, especially when criticizing the actions of local authorities.

▪️The flag system is in place down 26 miles of beach in Walton County. These incidents happened less than 90 minutes apart less than 4 miles apart. Are you suggesting that the very first responders who helped save these peoples lives could physically control a shark and that attempting to shut down 26 miles of beach could happen that quickly?

▪️We are GUESTS in the Gulf. We all must accept some amount of risk when entering the water. That DOES NOT take away from these two ladies whose lives are changed forever. But, looking for someone to blame is NOT the answer.

@LKHamilton This reminds me of Terry Pratchett’s explanation of elves

It would not surprise me if Punxsutawney Phil announced six more weeks of January.

Giving thanks to Sabaton for all the music. This year I couldn't stop listening to Stormtroopers - History Edition. #SpotifyWrapped https://t.co/cvL8kO6OP3

Very good thread

i was raised deeply evangelical and have a great relationship with my parents. i have many friends for whom this is ✨not✨ the case, but i've noticed some common themes for the parents who have great relationships with their adult children:

[Lousy Librarian @LousyLibrarian]

"Is the library open today?"
"Yes."
"You don't close for Columbus Day?"
"We do not."
"I think it would be appropriate to do something to honor Christopher Columbus."
"You could announce that you're going to come to the library but then accidentally go somewhere else instead."

[Stephanie Rowe @StephinDestin]

@LKHamilton I am a solid one as well. What’s interesting is that I also see geometric shapes when my eyes are closed and it has been this was since childhood. I thought everyone saw stuff in their mind like this until my husband informed me otherwise.

So very true

Have you ever thought about this?

In 100 years like in 2123 we will all be buried with our relatives and friends.

Strangers will live in our homes we fought so hard to build, and they will own everything we have today. All our possessions will be unknown and unborn, including the car we spent a fortune on, and will probably be scrap, preferably in the hands of an unknown collector.

Our descendants will hardly or hardly know who we were, nor will they remember us. How many of us know our grandfather's father?

After we die, we will be remembered for a few more years, then we are just a portrait on someone's bookshelf, and a few years later our history, photos and deeds disappear in history's oblivion. We won't even be memories.

If we paused one day to analyse these questions, perhaps we would understand how ignorant and weak the dream to achieve it all was.

If we could only think about this, surely our approaches, our thoughts would change, we would be different people.

Always having more, no time for what's really valuable in this life. I'd change all this to live and enjoy the walks I've never taken, these hugs I didn't give, these kisses for our children and our loved ones, these jokes we didn't have time for. Those would certainly be the most beautiful moments to remember, after all they would fill our lives with joy.

And some of us waste it day after day with greed, selfishness and intolerance.

Every minute of life is priceless and will never be repeated, so take time to enjoy, be grateful for, and celebrate your existence.

@NyvissaMakai @LKHamilton Agreed! Heck, goth in the garden is totally a thing. Pity they didn’t share that vision. 💗

@delstone Same. And it feels slightly hotter each day. Do not love it

@aaalex555 If it turns out it isn’t a terrible thing, you can always ship it to me and I’ll be happy to forward it on to you in a care package!

Last year, a coworker randomly asked me to hand-deliver an antique violin across the country. I said yes, because why not. I had no idea what I was getting into, and now I need your help. A 🧵

@gretchenrubin Is it possible to be both?
