look at this tiny tiny ancient depiction of a goose sheltering babies beneath her wings. 🥺

it's not very detailed but look at the postures of the animals. And the way the goslings are not very young but recognisable as gangly and halfway grown.

Greek, Late Archaic Period, about first half of 5th century B.C.

regarding your posts about god: i dont follow the same religious path as you, but ive always believed in something vague that i choose to call god. i would say i feel fairly okay with believing in that something in this agnostic sort of way, but there are still days where im like. aint no way thats real lmao.

but i think i choose to look at religion primarily as a human practice. i love learning about religions regardless of what i believe. its something i find comfort in even if i dont fully buy into it, because to me theres something rlly beautiful abt the way humans have always found divinity, it seems irrelevant if that divinity is a literal entity or simply some kind of feeling. because isnt that feeling so beautiful?

i hope you can reconnect with god in whatever way makes sense to you. maybe it doesnt have to be as a literal thing, maybe it will be. but either way theres a million ways to engage with these ideas and im sure you'll find something that makes sense to you.

i kind of think it almost doesn't matter if god is "real"...."god" and "real" are such nebulous concepts anyway, they can mean pretty much anything you want them to (is god a being in the theistic sense? or in the deistic one? is god just another name for love, or what moves between things in relation, the web of the universe? or for the creative force/impulse? can or should god be personified? what counts as real? is it just what we can quantify? do we really think we can understand everything about how the universe works? etc). i don't think we get a solid answer on this. but i can say that the effects of god in my life and the lives of others are pretty real, and i can also observe that many things in society which we take for granted as being real–and they are in some ways real–are also just constructs (money, gender, time). and the questions open out onto more questions always, we go further up and further in. thank you for this

March 2026 was the first month that renewables generated more power than natural gas in the US. In fact, fossil fuels generated less energy this past March than they had in any March for the previous 25 years.

As clean energy continues to grow (over 90% of energy capacity added to the US grid this year will be renewables) we will see more and more months like this.
