The beauty of National Parks are reminders of what the entire earth could look like if humans weren’t around .
The more I get involved with local stuff, the more I find that all the good local stuff that creates community and continuity and value is run by old people. Yes, your much reviled boomers. They run the arts council and the craft guild and the other craft guild and the food pantry and the church free pancake dinners. They run the little art gallery downtown and the Master Gardeners and quite a lot of the farms. And there are few to no younger people coming up behind them to pass the torch to. The old people don’t know how to bridge the generation gap into the internet age, and the young people have unwittingly given up all the tremendous value of community for mobility, and/or have no free time in which to contribute to such things anyway because of the ever-growing struggle just to have enough.
Actually I think it’s something people should be very very worried about, but I suspect the whole picture is largely not visible to the people on either end.

you don't know how much money i'd put in to buy these i am so in love with these mushroom lanterns
It's Trans Day of Visibility 🥳 Being seen is a wonderful thing in lots of ways, and it's good to celebrate that!
But it's not always safe to put yourself out there, and sometimes you'd just rather keep your head down. So, for anyone who needs to hear this:
You don't owe it to anyone to be out about your transness
"Out" is not a binary - you can be be out in some circumstances and closeted in others and that's OK
However "out" you are, you're still trans
However "out" you are, you're no less a member of our community
You don't need a better reason to wait than, "I don't want to come out yet"
I love you
~i never met nobody like you~
