July 18th through August 2nd. Statewide campaign to lower injuries and deaths caused by speeding.

Stay wonderful people, let's show the statistics that we can change for the better!

Be honest, how likely are you to be cautious during this time period?

Now that you're aware that Texas is attempting to lower injuries and deaths, do you feel any hints of social contracts being formed here?

Do you feel like maybe, throughout this safety awareness time period, you'd be willing to coast over hills, to lay off the gas, be cautious with your breaks and signal for turns?

Thank you for your time! I appreciate you even thinking about answering, because to me, that means you practice and cultivate the skill of empathy.

"Being embarrassed about your past isn't something to be embarrassed about. It's a feeling that's hinting at you, that you ought to find comfort, pride, and growth thought the observational fact, that your past behaviors don't agree with your present goals.

Be proud that you can identify how you'd like to change. The only obstacle now, is dedicated time to practicing that change.

Take a video of yourself, practice talking, practice laughing, practice smiling, practice crying, practice becoming the person in your head that you'd like to become. That version of yourself that wants out. That wants a community, that wants local, national, and international positive change.

Stop believing in yourself when you hear, "only crazy people practice, or act, how to be present and hole."

You're not wrong, crazy, or evil, for being a human, so long as you LEARN from the experiences that are telling you those negative thoughts.

If you notice that your brain starts ridiculing you, that it starts hating on you for the simplest interactions.

Pause, why, in those moments, is your brain so loud?

It wants your actions and thoughts to synchronize. Something about the interaction is giving you negative feedback. Now this could be confirmation bias and here's where a good friend, or therapist comes in handy. Talk it out. Are you in the wrong? Could you have done more?

To reiterate:

Wonderful Open Mic night! I had the honor of presenting some poetry to these fellow expressionists through TX & Beyond in Montgomery!

A truly lovely event, art gallery, and people. Participants came to showcase their many talents and provide avenues for ways to read or listen for more of their heartfelt work.

Thank you Rebecca and Anthony at
@txandbeyond_
For providing this amazing place and community!

Clathrus Columnatus
Habitat: Found in mulched areas, gardens, and disturbed soil, especially after rain.
Diet: Decomposes dead organic material like wood and mulch.
Spore dispersal: Attracts flies and other insects with its smell; the insects carry the spores to new locations.

Gardener's perspective
Beneficial: It's a saprobic fungus that helps recycle nutrients in the soil and does not harm landscape plants.
Management: Removing the visible mushrooms by hand and disposing of them in a sealed bag can help manage their appearance, but the underground mycelium will remain.
Toxicity: Considered inedible and potentially mildly toxic if ingested, causing gastrointestinal upset.

Paper Mulberry
Purifies air, is quick to grow (don't let it grow near the home), medicinal, and the wood is useful for rope, paper, and fencing.

Hm, what was going on in 2022, that I waited 14 years to donate? I started using it during my public school life. I wonder, what took me so long to see Wikipedia's value? Reminder to donate to Wikimedia Foundation. by @benexistsbarely
