The Art of Not Sharing

In a society that increasingly values visibility over privacy, choosing to keep parts of our lives to ourselves can feel almost countercultural. Journaling is, in fact, punk as fuck.

Finished reading: Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls 📚

A biography-as-novel about Jeannette’s grandmother, who was the definition of indomitable. Easy to read, interesting details, and an unforgettable character. #bookstodon

Helpful, detailed, clear, and actionable. If you’re at all interested in note-taking (generally) or in being more efficient with your inputs, a helpful read. #bookstodon

Also wrestling season started today so I hope y’all are ready for Saturdays with a stream of constant random updates and photos and commentary on absolutely anything as I hang out in a random high school gym for 6-8 hours so I can watch my kid wrestling for approximately 7 minutes

When the teens want to make Christmas ornament crafts, that’s what we’re gonna do. Meanwhile, Gasoline is already stalking the ornaments.

Two teenagers sit at a table spread with Christmas ornaments and craft items. They are absorbed in painting tiny wooden Christmas tree ornaments. Behind them is a multi-colored lit Christmas tree

A living room: The back of a couch, rainbow curtains, part of a table are visible. An acoustic guitar and a teal ukelele hang on the wall. A Christmas tree with multi colored lights and ornaments, beneath it a black cat stalks the lowest dangling ornament.

🥾today’s hiking church

A path with a field on one side enters the woods. The foliage is green, yellow, and brown.

A blue sky is broken by towering but in trees with branches reaching high. One treetop with yellow leaves is bright.

A paved path winds around and out of sight against a hillside studded with trees. The sun gleams through on the left side of the path and fog hovers.

Peering through the woods, an open area with trees widely spaced. Brown leaves make it difficult to see the two deer: one doe laying down and another, young, standing nearby.

The background is divided evenly into blue sky and a brownish yellow hillside of trees. In the foreground, a dramatic tree trunk with twisted branches reaches out, dark against the sunny backdrop.

Last night was D&D night. We had a battle ahead, but instead of jumping in we started talking… and spent the whole session that way. Two players I’ve never met in person-I know them only through this, online. Connection is connection. Community exists wherever you build it.

Let everything happen to you
Beauty and terror
Just keep going
No feeling is final.

All goes onward and outward, nothing collapses,
And to die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier.
