My mom works at the Mission Viejo Lake and has befriended two ducks that will come up at eat out of her hand and hang with her at lunch. The male duck hurt his wing and couldn’t fly but they still ended up having babies this spring. She made a video to document this journey.

what the kids could never understand about 9/11 is the shock and awe of a sudden “party’s over” atmosphere that slammed the door on a decade of American prosperity and introduced a toxic us vs them into our marrow that we aimed outwards for a time before tearing ourselves apart

when hayao miyazaki said that true love was two people inspiring each other to live...recognizing just how hard living is, putting one foot in front of the other every day, how easy it is to lose our passion for it...... that's the real shit

Major cheat code for life: Be fully where your feet are. When you're at work, work. When you're with family, be with family. When you're resting, rest. Most people are physically present and mentally everywhere else.

Twitter wouldn’t let me finish my thought because I don’t pay for premium so I had to condense it. Whatever, I’ll retweet more.

People don’t tweet anymore. Feels like as social media matures even further there’s an elite class of content creators and normal people don’t put out anything for fear of visibility or curating a specific vibe. I also have less to say and am less creative than I once was.
