    Some people are monstrous in how they treat public bathrooms. I often pick up toilet paper and paper towels scattered on the ground and put them in the garbage. I learned when bartending that people tend to thoughtlessly add to trash on the ground if they see it already on the ground. So, in my mind, if it's picked up it might lessen those who might mindlessly add to the mess.

    I am going to try to keep this brief. Having a child is not for yourself or anything other. Having a child is the decision to introduce a new personality to the world. It is for them and should be treated as such. Few approach the undertaking as non selfish and with clarity for what it is. If that becomes you and your partner's decision, I ask that you treat it with the fundamental care it should entail. You are not just having a child. You are inviting a full human into the world and you will be interacting with a full ass adult for more of their life than the time it takes for you to bring them up as a child.

    No, my friend is a super calm and highly competent person and we went flying over land I know and love. It was thrilling! Also, it's a very calm morning today, so no turbulence or anything.

    Yesterday morning my partner dropped me off at the shop. Usually I go Mondays, but my teacher wasn't able to do this Monday. His shop is in the closest town an hour from where I live.

    My partner had to get work done on their car, and suggested we get a hotel room that night instead of driving back. My partner picked me up at 6 and drove me to the hotel, a beautiful historic building where they had rented the most stunning suite with its own balcony that overlooks the whole town.

    Then we had a lovely dinner at the new Italian restaurant accross the street. We walked back to the hotel after and sat on the balcony and watched the near full lunar eclipse, drank some wine, then walked to the nearby watering hole for a night cap.

    This morning my partner decided one night wasn't enough and rented the room for a second night. It is just so relaxing. I'm being spoiled and I can't emphasize enough how much I really needed it.

    Is there something to be said for letting the child experience the world as it is, and not as it's presented to be? Thereby possibly giving them the chance to make up their own mind?

    Edit: For example, not sheltering or shuffling, or austesizing, but rather a cultural incentive to invite new conscious into this world with intention and honesty.

    I canceled my car insurance after a bad wreck but forgot to make the last small payment. I just made that last payment. Thank you for posting this thread.

    I ate a sausage breakfast burrito this morning. I was very hungover. It helped. There's a pie competition and ice cream social this evening. 3yr anniversary of Milkyway Treats! Then go get a stone fired pizza at the cave bar. Good day of food for a 105 degree day.

    I watched all of "The Amazing Digital Circus." It is so good, and so twisted. I like the animation style, it's written well, and the world and characters are well crafted. The last episode comes out end of June, and I'm very curious to see how they wrap it up.

    Elan.shool. I JUST GOT MY HARD COPY IN!!!! It's perfection. I've been waiting for the hard copy in my hands doe over a year, and I would have waited twice as long and be just as elated. I'm so deeply grateful to Joe Nobody and the massive amount of work he did to create and publish this masterpiece of biography and documentation. The dedication in the front made me weep uncontrollably in forever gratitude. In paraphrase, "To the children who had to go through this nightmare and were never believed."

    Thank you so much. This is so fucked. Our community is doing everything we can to organize, stand up, and do what we can to stop this, but we are an incredibly small population. We need the nation to have eyes on this.

    It's a flagrant show of this tyrant's ego to destroy one of our most beloved environmental assets. Please share this, talk about it, get more people and more eyes on this. If we don't, my community will atrophy and die, and that is the very least of the permanent devastation this will cause.

    Share this with everyone you know who gives even the smallest iota of care and interest in our national parks, environment, and historical preservation. This is happening NOW. There are boots already on the ground, and they are doing everything they can to fast track this. The damage will be irreversible. We can't let them, and we can't stop them alone.
