Adopted Son of Thuja Plicata

Just a kid with his hair slicked back and a knife tucked into his belt. Loosely themed around adventurecore and exploring the outdoors but also just a main. He/him/long lost soul in the wilderness alone. For book-related posts as I used to have a lot of, check out @Cedarbookhs. I also run @projecthipster, where I try to be a hipster, but, like, barely.

I ate my breakfast today with intention. I got up, went and bought the exact bread i wanted, made eggs, got out a placemat and sat at the table, used a knife and fork. I don't even have a photo for tax; didn't look at my phone. Had to resist the urge of course. I enjoyed my fried bread while it was crispy, my egg while it was runny, and the company of my cat. He likes egg.

No phone, no book, no tv. Just crispy bread and runny yolk, eaten sitting in the sun.

I feel like people really underestimate the impact that your mode of transportation has on how you see and think about and interact with your city. Like, driving makes your city feel like a few islands, pockets of space where you regularly go and new ones you discover only when brought there for a purpose, but all amidst an ocean of just, filler. Taking public transit makes your city feel like a network of corridoors, a glowing grid along which you may discover new things, but whose alternate winding paths you only take when given to by circumstance. Cycling makes your city feel more human in its scale, and while you can only go so far, the spaces through which you travel are far more often built for people, not machines, and that difference is tangible, while your freedom of movement gives you more opportunities for exploration. Walking can only take you so far, but you see everything meant for you along those places, and every street feels like it carries potential, with no barriers to stopping and partaking of whatever piques your interest. I think, among these, driving is the one that by far most isolates you from the place you live, while the others are, in decreasing order, most utilitarian, and in increasing order, most personally connective to your shared space.

All things considered about Trump's insane Islamic Republic of Japan comment I have had fun imagining a parallel universe where Japan was visited primarily by Arab and Persian traders instead of the Dutch.

The Sun rises over Earth in a postcard illustrated by Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, recalling the 1965 mission when he became the first human to walk in space.

[carryonmysociallyawkwardson]

Alexei Leonov was a prolific and talented artist, and drew and painted many pictures inspired by his experiences in space

This particular picture is rather special though, because he drew the first draft for it while in space using coloured pencils he took with him:

The first walk in space coincided with the first art in space. Humans literally can’t not do art

[helila]

my dude Alexei made some insanely cool space art

As I pulled myself back toward the airlock, I heard Pasha talking to me: “It’s time to come back in.” I realized I had been floating free in space for over 10 minutes. In that moment my mind flickered back for a second to my childhood, to my mother opening the window at home and calling to me as I played outside with my friends, “Lyosha, it’s time to come inside now.”

Green sea turtle no longer Endangered

These gentle, 400-pound giants are splashing back from the brink of extinction.

Guys...🥹

[fish-to-male]

I don’t know about anyone else but these sorts of headlines frequently make me highly suspicious so I did some follow up research after reading the article. I am happy to say that Green Sea Turtles no longer being counted as endangered is not due to the IUCN or any government shifting the goalpost for what can be considered an endangered species. The only update is, as the article states, an update in surveyed population numbers. Notably the article itself states that the current Green Sea Turtle numbers are not currently at what they historically were when the species was thriving, but this change in status over a relatively short period should absolutely be considered a significant win for conservation efforts and indicates a larger more grounded hope in our ocean ecosystems ability to heal.

Fighting for a better world is worth it and it is not too late.

There’s a reason these people are fucking stupid and proud of it.
