You can try and tell me people are inherently bad but I will never believe it, not for a second. Not when the only reason any of us are here is because we've shared resources, information, stories and small joys, and terrible heartbreaks, and hope.

Because all of this- from the first loaf of bread to the phones and internet we are collectively reading this on is only standing because we stood together.

Sad Saturday or something idk

i'm gonna be so honest, i just wanted to post a little bit more of when you love someone so i came up with a bullshit excuse.

“My whole life is burning down around me, and you don’t even care-” “I do care! I do fucking care, Evan! You think I enjoy watching you struggle, you think I enjoyed you asking for a divorce and this goddamn separation? You think I like sleeping in a separate bed, watching you come home drunk out of your mind? I don’t know what you found at the bar, but I can tell you right now it doesn’t love you like I love you, like we love you. My friends think that I’m insane to be doing this with you, that I should just let you go. Our kid is almost grown, he’ll be fine!” “Then leave then!” Evan snaps.  “No! I won’t be fine! And you won’t be either! For better or for worse, remember? This is the for worse part!”

andddddd

“Where’s Dad?” Grey sobs. “I want Dad, where is he?” “Hey sweetheart,” Evan says hoarsely, taking his spot beside Tommy. “Hey, you’re okay. We’re both here. We’re right here.” “Daddy,” Grey sobs, seeing him. “You both keep saying- “ Grey cuts himself off with a sniffle, struggling to snuggle into Tommy’s hold. “Shit, kiddo, don’t move,” Tommy snaps out in a panic. Grey’s leg is bent in what has to be an unbearable angle, and Tommy’s sure if he looks closely, he’ll see his kid's bone. “Don’t move, they’re getting help, okay? Do not move.” “What do we both keep saying?” Evan asks Grey, trying to distract him. “You said we both keep saying…?” “It means it’s bad,” Grey says weakly.  “What means it’s bad, sweetheart?” Evan asks, smoothing Grey’s sweat-matted curls off his forehead. “What means it’s bad?”

and also cause i'm so obsessed

“El, I don’t know how much more I can do this,” Tommy says, his hand gripping his phone so tight, that he’s surprised it somehow hasn’t shattered in his grip. “This has just been so hard. And I can't blame anyone, there's no one to blame." “I know, T, I know. It’s okay.” His sister says gently. Tommy longs to be fifteen again, curled up in his older sister’s arms as she plays with his hair. “I think this is just the price you have to pay when you love someone.”

When did smiling become my resting expression?

so much today today and also the other thing too

People who are destabilized by historical forces are more intelligent than the secure ones who have got the formulas in place. The safety of received tastes and opinions, confirmed in furniture and inherited artworks, stops the true brain, the brain of the seeking blind. When people are uprooted and insecure, their tables are alive with the conversation of prophets—philosophy, music, literature, God. But when the people are safe, the repetition of a formula goes around and around.

the winter sun, fanny howe 

thinking about people i know who no longer have any questions.  the thoughtless certainty of their judgement. with no room left to marvel. i miss them. i feel like i've lost them

how good it feels to find someone who will sit with you and say with you, i don’t know, but i wonder about it, i wonder at it

i don’t love this quote. i don't think of intelligence as a measurable volume that supports comparisons like this, and the tone straddles smugness, but hearing another voice say something i too carry deep with me, it feels good.  i don't think the struggle is the point of this existence, but an inescapable condition of this physical body, the way it metabolizes thought and emotion to fuel my movement through the world. i don’t think there is ever a road ahead to follow, not even a path, just more wilderness, maybe the occasional clearing to ease the way, but always wonders all around

I think Evans might have very specific taste in t-shirts...

Exhibit A: Note the bright rainbow stripes...

Exhibit B: The famous (or infamous) color-block t-shirt

Exhibit C: Bright color-block t-shirt

For a man who favors mostly classic looks, the t-shirts are always a bit of a walk on the wild side. I like it.

Genuinely would love you to read you go off about invasive and native plants. I feel like there’s a bit of nuance where if we cultivate plants in an area they’re not native to then it’s all good as long as we’re using them and making sure they don’t spread outside of containment. (Maybe within buildings so critters won’t eat their seeds and spread them that way.) and like I understand that some plants have been brought over by people who miss the literal taste of their home. And there’s plants that are now widely used around the world that aren’t native there. Tomatoes, potatoes, corn, wheat, different types of rice, fruit trees, berries, and so on. Not to mention the plants that are used for ornaments or Medicinal usage. They’re so wide spread that it would be hard to pin everything down if we want to cut back on non native invasive plants. (And then there’s plants native to an area that have the qualities to become invasive to said area if they don’t have anything to keep them in check like their designated herbivores. Or just fucking mint.)

So actually my whole thing with Invasive vs Native plants comes from this thought I ran across in Braiding Sweetgrass - particularly when she talks about White Man's Foot - and how despite it being from a foreign place, trailing colonists wherever they went thus the name, that it has herbal properties and that it didn't snuff out surrounding plants actually it fulfilled a niche that allowed for other plants to not get as swallowed up in the area as they dug railroad tracks and other settlements. Thus, to at least the indigenous groups in the area, this plant is NOT invasive and is actually used in some stories about how settlers can themselves become "Native to place"

So for me - the question is: is it invasive if it overpowers its brothers and sister? What if it fullfills a role otherwise empty? At what point is it more harmful to attempt to remove the plant then to just rebalance out the area?

Like Dandelions, we know they're so all over the place because their root structure fills in the role of what natural wild flowers do. This deep root bringing everything up and soaking up deeper water bc of this they grow so quickly even being symbols of spring, but they snuff out their brother and sister plants. Now is this simply bc we still have lawns? Or is the problem deeper rooted?

The reason they are here in the first place is because of they have so many uses! They are food, medical, they can be coffee or wine! You can spin yarn from them! And they just loved Turtle Island they probably won't ever be fully gone

But do we accept the Dandelions for their multitude of gifts even if they do not belong here? Or are they simply too harmful to other to ever be allowed into the family?

I am sure there is a scientific definition but I'm talking socially yk? Idk I'm rambling
