I was complaining to my best friend about my hair in no way being tame or remaining straightened today, and he pointed out that it looks like Cresselia the Pokemon is spying over my shoulder.

Hi! I'm Leah. I study sanctions, war and dictators professionally and Fungi personally. I'm a terrible millennial, prefer typewriters to computers, and am an insufferable optimist. I'm glad you're here.
I love cotton candy clouds. I especially love when I can see a little cut out heart in said clouds. 🩷
Since the topic has been on North Korea as of late, I thought I'd take the opportunity to remind you that the North Korean people are diverse, brave and way more like you than you may realize. libertyinnorthkorea.org/blog/from-no...

Wow, there are some really toxic and strange viewpoints on relationships on this website. I really need to not venture off of book and fungi sky.
I don't understand the sensationalism around the death of a celebrity. It is sad and shocking that Hayden Panettiere passed. I do not need to hear the 911 call. I find it all incredibly intrusive and disrespectful.
A different sort of #MushroomMonday post: I've been down lately because the heat has prevented any sort of foraging. Today, my husband had these three adorable ceramic fungi delivered to me as a placeholder for all of the fun we'll have in nature this fall. He's actually the best. #FungiFriends
I am in a book rut, and I hate it. If you've read something great lately, feel free to tell me about it.
I woke up from my post church and breakfast Sunday afternoon nap to a gorgeous thunderstorm. I'm taking this as a sign that this week is going to go great for all of us. 💜
I did not realize how loudly I was singing along with the radio in the Whole Foods until a man told me he loved my vibe. It was Oingo Boingo, there's no way I could help myself.
An older sort of conservative (loved McCain, hates Trump) relative just asked me if I know anything about the "handsome Democrat running in Michigan" because she's heard "good things about him" and might "toss him some money." Y'all, I'm floored in a good way.
Yes, I won, but that percentage has me a little nervous.
My original Friday night plans have been cancelled (postponed to Saturday night plans, actually) so my husband suggested he make a big pasta dinner, and he's picking up my favorite ice cream on his way home. I am in no way upset about any of this.
These soaring, horrible temperatures have me reminiscing about late fall and winter foraging. I found these on the beach at my favorite state park in January. Happy Fungi Friday! Stay safe and cool out there. #FungiFriends 📸🍄
North Koreans are not brainwashed drones. They are way more like you than you realize. They have families, work, school, interests, hobbies and the like, but they just happen to be living under a deprivation and oppression that you cannot imagine.
What’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?
My brain sucks, I'm cranky, and I'm not having a good week so I'm having snowballs and getting pizza with a boy that I like. (Mine is wedding cake, his is strawberry shortcake.)
"I mean... you're adopted of course, but you look a whole lot like your uncle! That's so neat!"- is a thing that was said to me today after an acquaintance met some of my extended family by chance. I'm not adopted. My birth mother and her family are black. Biracial people do exist.
Stop scrolling for a second and enjoy this ethereal sky tonight over my backyard with me. 💜
Some friends were talking about Ariana Grande today. They showed me pictures of her most recent ex, and I thought it was Mark Zuckerberg. I am not good at pop culture.
This exactly. I got out of a contentious meeting just a couple of hours ago where I stated "we are humans and meant to experience, not be optimized." I'm so tired of productivity mindset sucking our souls from our bodies.
what if i do not want to be optimized. what if i want to make mistakes because that’s how you learn; what if i want to do nothing sometimes, what if i want a world that is weird and challenging and has mysteries left to reveal. what if i like taking the long way
I'm working through what feels like deprogramming with one of my relatives, and I want to reiterate how much I despise podcasts. Relatedly, political fandom behavior is toxic, and I will never understand it.
I finally watched the Super Mario Galaxy movie, and I don't know if it's a popular opinion on this website to find it delightful, but I did. I regularly speed run Starfox when I'm stressed, and I play competitive Smash Brothers so it was basically designed for me, I think.
We ordered bulk "safe lettuce" this afternoon from a local producer, and the delivery felt scandalous.
I was extremely cranky in Costco earlier, and then ran separately into my priest and my deacon. Ok, I get it, geez, I'll check my attitude. 😭
I just found out about a "school" that opened near me recently, and y'all, it feels super culty. I know I'm predisposed to classifying things because of my background studying cult behavior, but the vibes with these people are rancid.
I am so proud of our community feeding initiative. This is just a small part of our stockpile to create food packages and to put in our blessing box. It is of course never enough, and there is so much need, but I'm so grateful for the opportunity to at least try to help.
I was referred to tonight as a "damn Episcopalian." I'm so excited to tell my priest.
