That soft, otherworldly glow that lights up winter like no other season cast its spell over Dunkard Creek this morning. One of the loveliest hikes I've taken in many years.

fellow usamericans please please please please check your state's COVID wastewaster levels.

as of Aug. 28 2024, here's how the regions look:

in the USA as a whole we are at an 8.68 and trending up

in the Northeast, we're at 6.92 and trending up

in the South, we're at 10.17

in the Midwest, we're at 6.78 and trending up

in the West, we're at 12.28

But these are just averages. It's vital to check YOUR SPECIFIC STATE/TERRITORY, as well as any ones you are planning on traveling too. D.C, for example, is at 15.68.

the reason people are still talking about COVID is not just because of vibes or trauma. we have actual numerical data showing that we are far from over with this disease. wear a mask, get another booster, and bookmark the CDC's website so you can check it weekly.

US geography

Take a US map, draw a line along the Mason-Dixon line, then identify the states in the bottom of this 'happiness' index. Notice anything?

Serious question what's up with everyone making fun of country nowadays and invoking tropes I don't think I've even seen

"it's backwards and conservative" Do you have any familiarity with Johnny Cash? An activist for Native American rights whose iconic image is the Man In Black as a symbol for the disadvantaged? The songs Folsom Prison Blues? Man In Black? And I know Tumblr loves Dolly Parton as a person, for good reason - 9 To 5, her signature workers' rights protest, isn't quite country, but most of her discography is.

"it's too religious" Fair - several musically excellent songs lean too heavily into Christian themes for me to enjoy as a Jew (though I'm sure Christian audiences love them, progressive ones too). But many of those religious songs evoke more universally applicable ideas of brotherhood, hope, and justice - and are those really things worthy of mockery?

"the emotions are shallow" I See A Darkness is one of the most authentic portrayals of depression in music I know of. Many country songs have themes of love, heartbreak, and drama/tragedy - but those are common to music across nearly all genres, even if specific songs don't land for everyone.

At the end of the day it's just a music genre, yes, but one that does have emotional significance for many people, cultural significance for many others, and as much diversity in content and performer talent as any genre of entertainment.

And it's not very fun to have cherished childhood memories and music that genuinely resonates with you mocked just about everywhere you turn aside from people who are actually fans of it.

He's HOPPING mad hehehehe

This is why he wears the sunglasses. I don't believe he's a heel shouting like that and being a wet chihuahua.

I love when Meg tells the story about getting called a stallion for the first time because it makes me think about when I was in North Carolina for the summer at 16 and had the first boy say that to me in publix lmaoooo

One thing that I've noticed in myself that I really hate is that I no longer enjoy going on long drives. If you asked me even a year or two ago, I would have told you I loved doing long drives for whatever reason, if there was one. Now, I'm like, "If I have to drive more then 45 minutes or more one way? Kill me."

Early October on Dunkard Creek at Mason-Dixon Historical Park. Even with the first frost just around the corner, life abounds along the stream, including: sulphur shelf fungus (Laetiporus sulphureus), more commonly known as chicken-of-the-woods; fall phlox (Phlox paniculata); and the flamboyantly-beautiful New England aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae). The park is also at the eastern-most range of the thorny-trunked honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos), whose common name derives from the sweet taste of its edible fruit pods.

Nothing is more fun than watching people complain about how there aren't enough flawed female characters out there until someone actually writes one and all they do is complain about how annoying they are

[gardenstateofmind]

it's really funny seeing people say "the south is actually only these states:" and then go on to list wildly different states that basically cover the entirety of the u.s. that isn't the northeast, great lakes, or west coast.

none of these people are wrong exactly bc regions can be more than one thing, and regions often overlap. but it is funny that people fight about it.

Man when I get through clipping this Jimmy audio... It'll be over for y'all...

(when I say y'all, I mean me. I regret listening to this with headphones, but my VO nature requires me to clip audio with headphones.)

There's so many silly things he says ;w;
