a tiny white dog stands on a tile floor and looks up at you. they’re wearing a big plush yellow star around their teensy noggin, like the world’s most congratulatory lion mane. we really needed to see her today.

We've been saving this little pup for when we thought you all might really need a gold star. And, given the current circumstances, here she is. 13/10

In the end, don't we all wish to be with someone who makes us feel safe and loved?
Someone with the quiet strength of a badger, the cleverness of a crow, and the heart of a Muppet, who looks like a combination of all three?

Work is closed for the cold, awful weather. My alarm clock (a shuffled Spotify generated playlist) today was "Cold cold cold" by Cage the Elephant. It'd be nice if I could control this or recognize the cause instead of just witnessing it. #clairaudience #witchsky

I work at a secondhand store and it is so hard not to hoard the shiny witchy things for myself. But I need to let someone else find such treasures. And am often rewarded by my staff of raccoons bringing me things anyway.

Playing #terraria with the husband and roommate, listening to a randomly generated dance remix playlist. I fall into lava. "Hot Stuff" is playing. We finally find the quest item. "Celebration" is playing. ☠️

Stonewall National Monument (U.S. National Park Service) Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGB civil rights a...

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:

-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.

-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

I would start by going to a park and playing on a swing. Swing as high as you can - until all you're thinking about is the bend of the sky and the swoop toward the earth and the wind rushing past your body. Cause as kids we didn't often think beyond the moment and that is the purest human moment.

a bronze plaque of a man in armor who looks down at a dog sitting at his feet. the man pets the dog with his left hand. the entire dog and a little bit of the plaque surrounding him is shiny and much brighter than the rest of the plaque from hundreds of years of people petting him.

This plaque in Prague has been rubbed to a shiny gold because for centuries, passersby have touched the dog for good luck, and also to reassure him that he's a very good boy. 14/10

My brother has a habit of checking in with me unprompted when I am not in a good headspace. He messaged me yesterday. While I checked in with myself, "I'm Good" by Band Together Project started playing. And, yeah, despite everything. I'm good.

A fennic fox at a petting zoo at an event fell asleep in my arms when I was 14. I got to keep holding her until the keepers had her kennel ready. She was peopled out and must have determined that I was a safe human.

This is Fudge. She may not be the sharpest pup in the world, but more importantly, she is not a quitter. 13/10

Think I’m gonna start calling all short-form vertical videos “Vines”

Facebook reel? That’s a Vine.
Youtube short? That’s a Vine.
Tiktok? That’s a Vine.
Your mum facetiming you?
Yep, also a Vine.

The coulda shouldas will always be there. You rested. You studied. You improved your environment. I'd consider that a good day even if you weren't as creative or productive as you 'could' be.

My dog has figured out that if she ignores me while I eat, she gets a bite.

That's probably a lot safer than putting the needle through a fold in my jeans...though I haven't stabbed myself twice.

I heard an employee tell another that she forgot her phone somewhere, then rush off to get it at a dead run. Seconds later I noticed the radio: "Oooohh, she's a little runaway."

Thank you for posting the link - for I am a forgetful goose who would been immediately distracted if I went looking for it myself.

Your bandsaw and scrollsaw videos inspired me to get a scrollsaw when the chance arose. I'm not very good with it yet, but it's fun.
