Good morning. 📚📖☕ 16 March 2026 Yesterday, Charlie and I made a Goodwill run, which means it’s time to start filling the box again. By “box,” I mean the large cardboard catch‑all in the laundry room where we toss things we no longer use but someone else might. I also drop in those little trinket gifts charities send. I never use them. Mailing labels are the lone exception — those I’ll keep. While I was at it, I pulled a couple of old technical books off my bookcase and tossed them in the back of the truck. This morning, I want to tackle the bookcase itself and finally fit the novels that have been lounging around the house back into it. I keep telling myself I should take a break from buying new books and reread some of the ones I already own. But how does one resist a new release from a favorite author? C’est la vie. Maybe what I really need is a bigger bookcase. I do wonder if keeping books counts as hoarding. It would certainly explain the little piles that keep appearing in my office. I mean, what do you do with a book you’ve just finished? You put it on the bookcase — or, if there’s no room, you put it next to the bookcase. Then the next one joins it, and the next, and so on. Eventually you look at the growing stack and think, Well, I really need to do something about that. And so it becomes out with the old and in with the new. My library has been slowly shifting from books of knowledge to books that entertain. After all, I’m done with all that going‑to‑work business. Life isn’t about what I need to know anymore — it’s about what I want to know. “Reading books is good. Rereading good books is better.” — Lawrence Clark Powell “A room without books is like a body without a soul.” — Cicero “One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person… To read is to voyage through time.” — Carl Sagan #photo #photography #photographer #photographylovers #nature #plants #books #library #life

In #life #true #aspiration in #raw #thoughts are just #playing the #role of unspoken #anchors towards #wisdom that came your way. An #idea you did not ignore is a #blessing you let somebody else #embrace from within. There is no such thing as #peace through #strength because to be strong in #focus is all that is needed to be at peace with that very #ideal as such.

I am going to get #wild with my #thoughts in this new #HotTopic of #interest I have in mind. You are all that you #believe be it in something, or not. In #practical #terms #life is 50% yours to shape and 50% its shape around you to respond with. Thoughts aren't #energy they are what holds it in place if you empower their #purpose through #connection to it. Objects that are #still do not #move if they #anchor another object in #place where possible. Nobody #dreams alone.

People pleasing isn't kindness - it's the high price of renting your spot in society. I've been called shy and boring, but those aren't traits, they are security protocols. I am different for everyone because it’s safer. Maintaining these APIs is manual social engineering that drains my battery to zero. Being accepted isn't free, the rent is incredibly high. It’s not about being nice - it's about survival. #neurodivergent #fediverse #mastodon #blog #thoughts #life

What Wendy's Doing: DOJ shelved the autopen witchhunt, Trump is slathering foundation on a mystery neck rash, and Pete Hegseth got told no by the goddamn Boy Scouts — before my second cup of coffee.

So none of these corporate platforms are owed your time, your eyes, your nervous system. Scrolling through hatred doesn’t make you smarter or more empathetic or more connected to the world, it just makes you tired and mean and convinced the rot is everywhere. Choosing to keep bigots out of your free time isn’t living in a bubble, it’s called having some goddamn sense. X, Facebook, whatever corp hellsite is trending this week — none of it is the world. #trans #queer #lgbtqia #survival #life

"Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced." — James Baldwin. Baldwin said face it — not because facing it makes things bearable, but because you cannot fix what you refuse to see. So look: the schoolgirls in Minab. The 1,700 letters in Kansas mailboxes. The glacier gone in 60 days. You don't carry this alone — that's why we gather….. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/the-daily-exhale-we-are-at-war-with-iran#life-survival-silence #trans #queer #lgbtqia

"We have to be visible. We should not be ashamed of who we are." — Marsha P. Johnson Marsha wasn't asking for #tolerance — she was throwing bricks and making room. When Kansas sends a letter saying you do not officially exist, that is a government performing power it doesn't have. You existed before the license. The license was just the state catching up. Build what catches up — the lawsuits, the evacuation funds, each other. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/the-daily-exhale-we-are-at-war-with-iran#life-survival-silence #trans #queer #lgbtqia #culture #survival

"Hope will never be silent." — Harvey Milk, Milk said it before they killed him — and they killed him because he meant it. Hope that won't shut up is dangerous, and dangerous is what we need right now. Kansas tried to silence 1,700 people with a letter in the mail. A lawsuit landed before sundown. That's not coincidence — that's what Milk was describing. You don't wait for permission to exist. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/the-daily-exhale-we-are-at-war-with-iran#life-survival-silence #trans #queer #lgbtqia #culture #survival #life #challenges

More Wisdom "I am not here to be your muse. I am here to make my work." — Janet Mock, author, filmmaker, and trans rights architect, in an interview with The Cut You were not made to be palatable. You were not made to shrink yourself into something easier for other people to swallow. Janet Mock built entire ecosystems of trans visibility while the culture was busy insisting she shouldn't exist. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/the-daily-exhale-trump-limp-dick-tonight-dhs-says-fuck-tsa-epa-set-to-detonate-the-world#life-survival-invention

Today's Wisdom "The quality of light by which we scrutinize our lives has direct bearing upon the product which we live, and upon the changes which we hope to bring about through those lives." — Audre Lorde, poet, essayist, and warrior, from Sister Outsider (1984) How you carry this forward: That light Lorde speaks of — it's not ambient. You have to aim it, deliberately, at the things that are being done in the dark. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/the-daily-exhale-trump-limp-dick-tonight-dhs-says-fuck-tsa-epa-set-to-detonate-the-world#life-survival-changes

To get it right, be born with luck or else make it. Never give up. Get the knack of getting people to help you and also pitch in yourself. A little money helps, but what really gets it right is to never -- I repeat -- never under any conditions face the facts. -- Ruth Gordon ⬆ #Wisdom #Quotes #RuthGordon #Life #Luck ⬇ #Photography #Panorama #MississippiRiver #PikesPeak #Iowa
