Better Things Are Possible@internethippo.bsky.social · 6d agoCan you imagine being a Northerner at the start of the civil war. All the fancy lad West Point military guys are Southerners.

Today I found my first seabean. This seed has travelled a long way to reach #Shetland. Starting it's journey in a tropical forest, travelling with ocean currents and washing up with our first autumn storms. A little piece of luck and joy to hold onto as daylight fades and winter approaches.

Gillian Brockell@gillianbrockell.com · 2w agoI hope all the middle-aged women whose lives have been vastly improved by an ADHD diagnosis understand that we’re on the list after trans and autistic people. RFK Jr thinks we should be sent to camps instead of taking a daily medication to bring our dopamine pathways up to a normal level.
