May we raise children
who love the unloved things –
the dandelion, the worms, & spiderlings.
Children who sense the rose needs the thorn,
And run into rainswept days
the same way they turn towards sun…
And when they’re grown
and someone has to speak for those
who have no voice
may they draw upon that wilder bond,
those days of tending tender things
and be the ones.

Telling people to fuck off when needed is kindness to *oneself* (just so yanno).

May you feel and share feelings of peace and acceptance this Christmas season! In this short post I sing you a poorly engineered but well-intentioned Christmas carol, and share an Aussie nativity picture to download and colour.
Hello to all my fellow Mastodonians hanging out here today 👋
I won't be here that much today but there'll be no election related posts / boosts from me. My timeline is much quieter because I've set lots of folks on a temporary mute - love that feature ❤️
When I do check my feed I'm looking forward to #CutenessTherapy posts along with all the usual animal hashtags. I've already seen so many lovely animal posts this morning! 😁
Helloooo! Let's try this #introduction #mastodon.. #newhere

I'm not, in any way, shape or form a photographer but here are some shots 😆
That's the dadgum truth, right there.

I don’t watch superhero movies, but I may want to make an exception for the new Superman. Per Variety:
James Gunn is opening up about what “Superman” is really about.
In his Sunday profile with The Times of London, the DC Studios head went deep on the themes and ideas that drive his highly anticipated “Superman.” He explained that the superhero epic encompasses “the story of America,” and at a basic level, is about a man searching for a better life away from his original home.
“I mean, ‘Superman’ is the story of America,” Gunn explained. “An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country, but for me it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost.”
“ … obviously there will be jerks out there who are just not kind and will take it as offensive just because it is about kindness. But screw them,” he said.
