I love trains! And Switzerland! And hiking in the Alps! This trip had it all. Do yourself a favor and climb aboard for a few minutes!

Why not just go after the businesses that employ undocumented people?! Why persecute people that simply want to earn a living and support their families? Because the cruelty is the point!
DARVO (an acronym for "Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender") is a reaction that perpetrators of wrongdoing, such as abusers or sexual offenders, may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior… It is a common manipulation strategy of psychological abusers.
This article is a perfect example of internalized misogyny.
This evening, as is our practice for NYE, we will have a classic northern California cioppino—we've been collecting the seven fishes for the last several days. This is a classic, perfect, accompaniment. www.theguardian.com/food/2025/de...
I really appreciate the science & medicine reporting in the Atlantic, yet still the news cycle is so rapid, I miss out on reading a great number of their articles in that area.
So every year's end I really appreciate their handy list with links.

the milky way above a field with fireflies. A lot of light pollution because this was taken at the only dark sky Park in ohio. The foreground was taken with about 100 shots about 20 minutes after sunset and then the sky was a bunch stacked later on in the night
the milky way arches across the sky above a mountain and trees, with a town in the distance. in the foreground are some bushes.
the milky way over a mountain peak with snow, and in front of that are trees, a little big of light pollution yellow
The milky way over the Bonneville Salt Flats. The salt flats are blue because they were taking a blue hour and the sky is a teal because that's how I wanted to color it
Drove 9600 miles this summer to Touch Milky Way and truly worth it. Even tho I'll never do it again.
I finally got around to editing the footage from this whole encounter, definitely the most beautiful moment of the year in nature for me.
Video taken across a 12 minute period, sunset lit water fans will REALLY like this one!

reddit post from a presumably young person who watched sex and the city and couldn’t get over how much people smoked indoors. “wouldn’t everything smell bad?” they asked
this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will
Uggi the dog and a copy of The Night Guest
GIVE AWAY! // AKA WE DID IT AGAIN!
Since The Night Guest is coming out in paperback we decided to try to gift another copy bitten by Uggi. And it went … a little *too* well. (See picture 🧵)
Like and share this post and on December 30th I will select a winner and send them this teeth marked copy!
No parent wants this text. Thinking of the Brown University community.
It's very clear that unlimited wealth causes brain damage. That's not an exaggeration.
It's similar to other unnatural human conditions like solitary confinement (which is widely understood to cause mental deterioration) and other types of sensory deprivation.
the plethora of depressing articles about reading lately made me think about how a person winds up a reader—and stays that way. it's not a science, that's for sure! the weird alchemy of childhood and curiosity and countless variables that all could have easily been different
Happy to have an essay from my forthcoming collection up @literaryhub.bsky.social today! "The time a library lends, I suspect, is a little like love: the more it gives away, the more comes back to it in kind."

"How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but in oneself? There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light." - Barry Lopez
a vertical shot of a placid, cloudy day. on the left, a barren tree reaches up to the overcast sky. on the right, a boxy white food truck has parked with its little window propped open for business. you can just make out the word “pizza” in black curly lettering on the front of the truck. in the center of the photo, sitting squarely in the middle of a green bike lane, a rather large dog that resembles a golden retriever or great pyrenees is sitting patiently in profile, staring expectantly at the food truck’s window while basking in the glow of its lights.
This dog was spotted politely waiting by a pizza truck. He doesn’t have to say what he wants. They already know his order. It is pizza. 13/10 (IG: lauren.bardini)
They all have a name. They all have a story. They are someone’s son or daughter and have hopes, dreams and aspirations just like you and me. We must judge our society by how we treat the poor and the homeless and on that count we are failing miserably.

Robert, a new portrait from the Outsiders project. He told me he became homeless, together with his friend Rory, when they were evicted from their accommodation after the pandemic. They haven’t been able to find any safe or stable housing since. They have been at the tent encampment for months
Ok one more video. the most beautiful fluke I've seen. edited for EXTRA BEAUTY!!!
todays redwoods appreciation
Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
—Harry Truman, 1952
Master class in manipulation ~DARVO
There is no shame in having let your self care slip a little-- or a lot-- during times you've struggled. Don't lecture yourself. Just take the littlest, least effortful step you can today to get back on track w/ eating, moving & hygiene.
Think "goals" so small they seem silly.
