Ippitsuryu is an ancient Japanese tradition of creating the flowing, river-like body of the dragon in just a single stroke. In this video, artist Keisuke Teshima shows the mesmerizing balance required by this technique [full video: buff.ly/34WUHNe]

My sister was trapped in #Ukraine. This is a thread about her incredible journey to reach #Poland. During her escape she experienced #racism, injuries, freezing temps and sleep deprivation. Her story is only one of the hundreds of thousands of people trying to get out.

A big reason I’m sharing so much about what’s happening with me right now is because I didn’t hear these conversations happening before I got sick. It’s just people saying get vaxxed & boosted but people don’t talk about that you can do both of those things AND get LONG COVID 1/

Repeatedly failing to pick up on unspoken cues (and then paying a hefty social price for it) can instill real hypervigilance in you, and train you to constantly second guess your actions and perceptions.

Happy Thanksgiving! Despite 2021 being 2021, I'm lucky to be thankful for *many* things this year, but chief among them is easy access to drinking water that isn't contaminated with petrochemicals. Giving a little to protect that access for others is a nice way to mark the day.

I was an HVAC tech. For whoever doesn’t know HVAC is infamously known to be a one way door. Because you can literally be on call 24 hrs a day. No time for anything else. So how did I find time to code? @UnderdogDevs replaced a portion of my salary & allowed to learn programming.

This summer our daughter left behind her most beloved toy, Cowie, in a remote campsite in Iceland. 😱 She's been so upset and we've spent months trying (and failing) to arrange a courier to bring Cowie 🐮 home. We’d almost given up hope… BUT THEN… 1/6 A GOOD NEWS thread 🧵🐮

You might remember @jessenoller, a backyard gardener who donated his homegrown produce to our food bank. Now a budding entrepreneur, Jesse is leveraging his new business to donate to our food bank year-round! @denverpost @kierannicholson @FungusHumble dpo.st/3BQJAzM
