The secret to life is making enough time for family/friends, enough time for travel/passions, enough time for physical activity, enough time for career, enough time for sleep, enough time to keep a clean/inspiring home, and enough time for reading. So, like, good luck with that.

Just finished the campaign 1 finale of the @NADDPod_ podcast. Amazing! Highest of recommendations if you want a story that will make you snort laughter and cry within moments of each other. Good stuff, good stuff. #naddpod #balnorwasolaf

My mom is better at Lewdle than I am. Excuse me while I go rethink my perspective on life, the universe and everything…

On this, the day of the 2s (2-2-22), I must plug my favorite thing lately which is @NADDPod. I am truly obsessed with the 2 Crew aka Band of Boobs and their shenanigans. Highly recommend this amazing, hilarious & moving podcast! Listen to it!!

You don’t have to choose between joy and the pursuit of justice. Read poetry, celebrate beauty, defend the marginalized, resist tyranny, stand up to bullies, use your gifts and imagination to build the world you want to live in. Joy nourishes and sustains activism.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

We lose the habit of reading because we’re afraid of wasting our time. We think we need to be productive and “on the go” at all times. But people are not machines, and you are nourished by naps and fiction and basking in sunlight, no less than by food and drink.

That Moment When you see something that you’ve always needed but didn’t have exactly the right words until now.

How do you make a 4 HOUR Zach Snyder movie (that you’ve already kinda seen) enjoyable? Snark it with friends afterward! I’d say 90% of my “I liked it” vote is due to the anticipation of how much fun this conversation would be!

[Gwen C. Katz @gwenckatz]

We've lost so much nature that the world of the past sounds like fantasy. 60-pound salmon! Jaguars in Missouri! We deny these things because we can't comprehend what we've lost.

[Jessica Smith @antiscian]

It me.

I love translating recipes for myself. Like "Prep time: 15 minutes." Okay, so that's an hour.

In January 2017 my then 8-year-old asked if the Muslim Ban meant we had to leave?

Yesterday my now 12-year-old asked if I thought his 5-year-old sister could also one day be Vice President or President?

Justice matters. Compassion matters. Representation matters.
