I wish I remembered, which temple this was at, but it was ages ago π¬

#OTD Leo Drey, American #Timber magnate, #Conservationist, & #Philanthropist, is born.
Leo loved #Nature. He devised a way to harvest individual #Trees w/out harming his commercial #Forest.
Leo acquired 160,000 acres of the #Ozarks to create #PioneerForest, which he gifted to #Missouri in 2005. His foundation protects natural areas.
Leo's #Voicemail greeting was,
"I'm out planting a forest. Please leave your name & number, & I'll try to get back to you before it matures."
@ScottSoCal I'd loved to see an "emotionless" reaction slider, something like this:
|-3 - -2 - -1 - + - +1 - +2 - +3-|
Emoji reactions are nice, too. F@%kbook has a nice set. Telegram's overcompensates, but I appreciate the effort.

@ScottSoCal Iβve been there!
Have you ever heard whatβs the next career step up from help desk tech?
Hostage negotiator.
User: Iβm setting up my docking station and I canβt get it to recognize the second monitor.
Helpdesk: Can you provide pictures or a description of how the monitors are connected?
User: Monitor 1 is connected to the dock using HDMI. Monitor 2 is connected to Monitor 1 using VGA (I also tried HDMI but that didnβt work either.)
Tech: OK thatβs creative! Never would have thought of that. Sadly monitors arenβt able to be daisy-chained like that.
Have you ever gone down a Wikipedia spiral? You start out with looking up this thing you saw on NatGeo about Incan Khipus, then pretty easily slide into Mayan Xibalba and The Hero Twins, dip your toes into Viking Sunstones, and then you're realizing Dan Brown got all his book ideas from the Cathars, something called Positive Christianity comes next, which sounded cool, but is actually Nazi Propaganda, you finally go to bed, because you start seriously wondering how hard it would be to mummify a cat, OR IS THIS JUST ME?!
Depression sucks, sucks more not knowing exactly what might be causing it.
Figuring out what's behind it feels like I've won half the battle.
I know what I must do & having that clarity is already helping me feel better.
I love change but it can be challenging yet so rewarding when it's a positive life changing task.
I'm open about my anxiety & depression cause mental health is vital, we shouldn't be ostracized for it.
If you're depressed or need help, don't feel ashamed.
It gets better.β₯οΈ

angry post, transphobia
βI canβt support your medical transition because youβre changing your β¨beautiful bodyβ¨β will always be horseshit because it places the value that other people might see in your body over you feeling comfortable living in it.
Being #trans often means finding out that some people in your life believe you donβt have a right to your own physical form. Your body belongs to your parents, your potential lovers, to anyone else before it belongs to you.
@drfunkybutt no, they just hate Dungeon Masters
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
