I think owning a bookstore overlooking the sea that's also a coffee shop, that’s also a flower shop would actually fix me!

It's also a planet where sea turtle babies communicate with each other from INSIDE their shells to coordinate a synchronized exit.

Hatching as a group makes it safer for the little ones on their journey to the water.

Sometimes I forget that we live on a planet where sea otters wrap themselves in kelp so they don’t drift out to sea while they sleep. Where frogs follow elephants in the jungle to lay eggs in their footprints. Where whales lift their newborns to the surface for a breath of air.

"We will always choose each other."

Mission control has reacquired signal with the Artemis II crew after the mission’s planned loss of signal. Our astronauts are once again using the Deep Space Network to keep conversation and science data flowing between space and Earth.

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

Life isn’t long enough to do all the things I want to do. I want to memorize all the works of Shakespeare, read Beowulf in Old English, become an expert in folklore & etymology, study history, play the recorder. There are an infinite number of things to learn, & time is so short

Being neurodivergent means

Your brain: genius
Your nervous system: Victorian orphan

I have ADHD. I have the vocabulary of a PhD and the attention span of a goldfish who just saw a shiny rock.

ADHD people screenshotting and bookmarking everything because they're afraid of losing ideas, only to never look at them again because the archive is now its own overwhelming problem.
