Consumerism really has me thinking things like "can i put this water in my bottle for free?"

Why would you snuggle a bear you ask? Because look at them, that's why. That right there is a big ol friend with so much friend to hug. The tummy. The fur. The huggability is off the charts! Exhibit A: the teddy bear is modeled on bears because of this. The only reason anyone WOULDN'T hug a bear is because they will kill you. But that is okay. If my friend chooses to hurt me, then I will simply love them sleeping.

So bears hibernate, and hibernation is more like a coma than sleep right? So in theory if one were looking to snuggle a bear it would make sense to go spelunking between Christmas and new years right?

Note to artists: I think you should make a new kind of gallery where everyone can touch the stuff on display. The interaction is the explicit point of this new gallery type, so radically that not only can I feel the texture and sit on it and climb on it but I can break it and repaint it and more. Anything short of removing it from the gallery it's in. And yes absolutely some class of 6 year olds will destroy stuff, and yes absolutely people with bad intentions will try to ruin it all and burn it down but guess what? That's the point. Because if I visit a gallery and see that someone destroyed something beautiful, something someone worked on for many hours and got put in a fricking gallery and they broke it forever for no better reason than because they could, I would feel something. And I promise you that whatever was broken would be rebuilt or replaced with something more vibrant in protest, because people would refuse to be defined by ruin.

Just a thought I had. Also I want to feel the stuff and see handprints and see change and I think it's worth a try.

You ever meet people who are normal and fine accept for the way that they seem to hold a profound sadness in them and behind their eyes it seems like they're actively trying to avoid feeling it at all time and you feel the urge to hold them because just one hug couldn't possibly be enough but of course this is someone you haven't known for more than an hour and there are others around and to voice concern would only out this person to everyone in earshot or else poison their attempt at normalcy?

This is why animal photographers are more incredible than we ever give them credit for

One of my favourite bits of media history trivia is that back in the Elizabethan period, people used to publish unauthorised copies of plays by sending someone who was good with shorthand to discretely write down all of the play's dialogue while they watched it, then reconstructing the play by combining those notes with audience interviews to recover the stage directions; in some cases, these unauthorised copies are the only record of a given play that survives to the present day. It's one of my favourites for two reasons:

It demonstrates that piracy has always lay at the heart of media preservation; and

Imagine being the 1603 equivalent of the guy with the cell phone camera in the movie theatre, furtively scribbling down notes in a little book and hoping Shakespeare himself doesn't catch you.

Sometimes I think about cool stories I make in my head and consider if I should write them down to share with other people but then I ask myself if this is my story to tell and then I Don't write them down because I feel like maybe no but I still kinda want to cuz it would be really cool I think.

don't infantilise yourself. you are not a child who needs an adult to make your decisions for you. you are a splendid and magnificent autocrat and you are consulting your trusted advisors. you are exercising great wisdom by inviting an expert to give their opinion before making your ruling. often the path of wisdom is to say "good morning, I'm trying to [perform task] and I have a question about [aspect], can you tell me who I should speak to for advice?" before you do it. sometimes the path of wisdom is to hire a plumber. there are times when you cannot do things for yourself but that doesn't mean you are not an adult. you don't need a grown-up. you need a specialist.

[duckbunny]

this has come up a couple of times so let me be really really clear:

the path of wisdom is sometimes to hire a plumber.

the path of wisdom is always to hire an electrician.

I think it's really important that we platform climate restoration projects like Mossy Earth because it gives us hope. I find fear paralyzing but seeing that people actually can help, are helping, and are having success is really great and gives a straightforward answer to the question "what do I do" : start by donating. Share their content. Spread the word.

Anyway I just about cried watching those fish in the coral reef project.

We need to rerelease classical music with actual titles. I'm never going to remember what "symphony in C minor" is. Give us Mozart's Moody Mix and Beethoven's Booty Bouncer
