- Wisdom of #ecology and the #Land will break your heart every time you hear a chainsaw and wood chipper in your neighborhood, knowing you're losing a precious community member. My heart aches for The Standing People. 💔🌲💔
- Birds talk in distress when Trees are cut down. The same calls I hear when predators are near. Aching and shaking from poor #Land stewardship of neighbors. A candle for Cascara. 🌲🕯️ A candle for Malus. 🍎🕯️ No #Tree was left as a #wildlife Tree. #ecoanxiety #animism #bioregionalism
- #Enshittification: a pattern which 2-sided online products & services decline in quality over time. Vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users; degrade those offerings to better serve business customers, & then degrade services to users & business customers to max profits of shareholders

- Did you know that #voicetherapy could exacerbate temporomandibular joint disorders? I didn't, until I experienced a devastating flare in #chronicpain for over a week after my first session. It makes sense, since my mouth and lip shapes change to access #resonance goals. #TMJD #TMD #themoreyouknow
- Amongst the chaos, I have irrelevant thoughts that I came here to share: When can I get a reagent kit to detect #amatoxin among #mushroom samples? I am not wise in #ochem yet, but do amatoxins react with anything to be able to create a reagent? 🤔🍄🧪🧫 #harmreduction #mycology #poisonousmushrooms
- This is brilliant. Since SPD has historically refused to be accountable for the harm they cause to our communities, let's make sure it's documented where ALL can see.

- For those who are not privileged with #Land or space to grow #nativeplants, I wish we could have affordable access to bulk native seeds to fill #birdfeeders, so #birds could have region specific food sources and spread that seed around for an avian #ecologicalrestoration method. #rewilding
- Maker grief: forgetting to change the speed setting on my 2-speed drill while using a hole saw, and cracked the acrylic I'm drilling into. 😅 Expensive lesson in tool wisdom! 😤 #maker #diy #toolsafety #toolwisdom
- Reposted by LucidAs said a lot of times: - this needs to go on until they accept defeat - your calls and emails should remain on the topic and make a complaint about your inability to spend money on legal things - ask for a case number, ask for a supervisor, send mail if they ask to the @ given - it's a marathon
- I am just North of #BlueAngels flying for several hours today. It is so loud like thunder, I can feel it in my body, & spiking #anxiety. They must be doing loops South of me, as I keep bracing them to fly over, & can feel them turning with the air waves I'm feeling. This is awful! #Seafair #N2BA
- Complicated feelings when a professor of mine was in the #BlueAngels jet that caused me a major panic attack yesterday morning... #NoToBlueAngels #N2BA #PTSD #Seafair #Seattle
- #Rental #housing in the United States hardly allows anyone to put down roots. It is an unsettling feeling to never know when you are going to have to move on. Each annual lease renewal gets you another year, but that doesn't give enough time for healthy grounding. #MentalHealth #HousingSecurity
- While holding a physical #book, do you ever find yourself... trying to "scroll" a page like a touchscreen? 😅 It is a bizarre feeling. 💙📚

- Reposted by LucidReclaiming Food is a uniquely useful and simple guide, to something many of us have forgotten we can do for ourselves: cooking. Emma Kathryn explains the basics of cooking and pantry management, and offers scores of recipes.
- Reposted by LucidI've been a subscriber to #Headspace meditation for years and I honestly believe that daily meditation has improved me. But the company seems to have become aimless since Andy Puddicombe left a couple of years back. Adding an AI therapist(?) just seems like a terrible idea.
- Whelp, I WAS loving #Headspace app for learning #meditation... Until I opened the app today to find a new #AI named 'Ebb' has been installed as a #mentalhealth "tool". With startling data on how people are using #ChatGPT for mental health, this does not bode well. #BanAI #NoAI #NoLLMs
- I can't keep up with my emails, with every political org I follow asking for donations every single day. W/o the means to support them, and myself, it's a constant reminder of our broken #Capitalist system. I cannot fight the #oligarchy with money. Who can?! #anticapitalist 🌹✊
- I reached my 2025 #Reading Goal last night, and about 5 months ahead of my pace! Previous years in my adulthood, I felt grateful to complete 1-3 #books a year. Tracking my reading progress in #StoryGraph has been so much fun & helpful to see my improvement. @thestorygraph.com 📚💙

- This is a fantastic guide on how to #microdose & deeply informs the reader on everything we know about #microdosing to date! Proudly participated in the Microdose.me study mentioned inside. I started microdosing in 2022. It drastically improved my life! TYSM Jim & @jordangruber.bsky.social! 📚💙
- Finished another #book tonight! I am so far ahead of my anticipated #reading journey this year. I made a modest goal of finishing 15 books by December, & I know I will exceed that. #Dyslexia had made it so difficult to finish just ONE book! I seem to have overcome a huge challenge for me! 📚💙

- Reposted by LucidMay 18th is a special day in #Cascadia. In 1980, it was the day Mount St. Helens erupted and reminded us of the immense power of nature in the Pacific NW. It's also unofficially #CascadiaDay, a day to work toward a more free, independent and sustainable #bioregion. What are you doing to celebrate? 🇱🇸

- Reposted by LucidSome great advice on protesting
- Reposted by LucidThe corporate media’s coverage of the protests was horrible. A lot of news orgs ran one or two small pieces, but they barely scratched the surface of what was happening on the ground. So I’m here to bring you some of the inspirational stories from our amazing subscribers who saw it all firsthand.

- Reposted by LucidYou can understand why migrating birds are so disoriented by this view. The world is upside down, and the stars are on the ground.
- In my city, ALL #ecology work HAS TO abide by a #nestingseason schedule, to restrict activity after April 1st as to NOT disturb birds nesting. This does NOT seem to apply to anyone else, even if they disturb a nest doing line clearance work. WTF?! #ProtectBirds #ProtectNests
- Reposted by Lucid
[This post could not be retrieved] - What's the point of having a Migratory #Bird Treaty Act when industry ignores it all the time?! Nests are protected under the #MBTA, yet nests are disturbed in favor of capitalist timelines instead of having an iota of patience to return AFTER #nestingseason. #MOTH #ProtectBirds #SpeakfortheTrees
