6·7 hours agoethics
that is what really matters, rich or poor. I have lived as an ultra poor person with only the cloths on my back and, thankfully, on my best friends couch. I now live in a big old historical house. The guy who built my house also subscribed to the ideal that ethics was paramount. He was famous for creating the Sunday Edition newspaper so the farming community could have an edition that was specifically for them. Containing the important things a rural, isolated person would need from a news source.
I choose to work in state government because doing something that adds to the community is more important to me then the dollar bill. I could easily make 50K more in a corprate job but the dollar is not important. I have almost a million dollars saved but that is always for the rainy day that will come.
When I see people asking for money, I ask them when was the last time they ate a full meal. You will find that hungry people will be very honest and giving a hungry person a full meal is one of the greatest rewards. That feeling is a harsh reailty. My city is full of homeless, well beyond the norm. It is historically a hobo rest stop. So I feel obligated to make sure new faces are fed.
So what is the good life… IDK
but I am trying and it starts with caring about my fellow person. Not taking advantage of someone, unless they are trying to get one over on me. Welcoming the stranger and caring about the little moments where you see someone trying their best and telling them you see it.
Caring. Even when it hurts.

7·1 day agoit’s disappointing that they kill the beasts instead of rebuilding the salmon habitat.
salmon reproduce in so many numbers, if we just protect their spawn and the path to it, there’s more than enough for everyone
The distance outside of you comes into
focus, collapses away lovingly
And hands to the glass and eyes to sky,
glued to the south she waits to see…

I haven’t watched the original movie in forever. I have read the whole series and watched the new movies… Need to give the David Lynch version another go. I liked it much better than the new one… which looks pretty but is stupid AF.
omg that’s amazing!
is this from the Dune rts game from the old console days? I played the shit out of that game!
fresh water, and maybe a little ice
NEVER drink that shit (the stuff you just used to fill the container). Fresh water out of the tap is a must (unless you live in a place that does not have good water, ok understandable). Drink a few glasses, even if you are not thirsty, have a glass of fresh water within reach. Offer it to your friends and provide it even if they act tough and pretend they don’t need it.
