on my bike ride home, I passed a kid who was maybe 11 years old riding his bike the opposite direction on the sidewalk, and while we were passing he yelled at me, “I’m riding a bike too!!”

I rang my little bell and we gave each other a thumbs-up and it was so cute & wholesome ☺️

(honestly this is the interaction I hope for every time I pass another cyclist)

the real trouble with baking bread is the seemingly infinite amount of time where you want to eat bread, and you can SMELL bread, yet you cannot get ye bread.

...bread. 🍞

Uhhhh yeah sounds good

Here are Pike's dream vacation locations that he looks at on a PADD in #StarTrekSNW's "Subspace Rhapsody". I wonder if he's looking for fitting locations on Crivo (to please Captain Batel) or if these are on another planet.

Kahless tells is that the darker it is, the more the smallest light stands out. A true warrior tries to be a light in the darkness, a beacon to others of honor to find and join and blaze all the brighter, and push back the dark together.

i hope in 800 years someone tries to write a historical action drama based on our time and when the hero goes into battle their war cry is like "DJ KHALED!!!"

Lifehack:

Instead of wondering if something is normal, ask if it's harmful.

Dressing up as an anthropomorphic animal character isn't normal, but it makes a lot of people smile.

Being exceptionally talented isn't normal, but it sure offers a way to enrich your life as well as the people you care for.

To hell with normal. To hell with being afraid of being called weird. Furries figured this out decades ago. Many anime fans and gamers, too.

Yet, I hear people ask things like, "Is it normal to feel the way I do?"

I dunno.

Does it make your life harder? Then you might want to do something about it. Does it cause harm to others? Definitely do something to correct it.

But to cry when you watch movies? Or to want to cuddle so much that you lose any interest in actually having sex? Or to hate the world we inherited so much that it hurts, and so you channel it into helping others suffer a little less?

Who gives a shit about normal. That's human.

Happy 37th Anniversary Metroid!💫
