10.10 ☃️🌠

Happy birthday @admin! Thanks for all your hard work to bring us together :)

my niece Tessa was born this morning; i am officially an uncle; she is a triple Libra, and i'm not entirely sure what to make of that; looks like she shares @rumor-has-it's birthday (HBD)

I love you Petal.

Happy birthday Julia!

what do we think about a 'faving' feature? i would love to leave hearts (or whatever!) on everyone's posts without having to leave a comment. is this possible?

i'm going to go to starbucks today for coffee, then im going to go to cvs to get moisturizer (cerave). then im going to organize the kitchen cabinets and then tidy my room. later i want to watch the season premiere of dancing with the stars jr. hosted by frankie muniz , the season premiere of shark tank, and the new ep of keeping up with the kardashians.

Some cross posts with other platforms and some Petal exclusives.

A wind passes very lightly
And goes away, always very lightly.
And I don’t know what I think
And I don’t want to know.”

hey petalers, yesterday LA shut down a bunch of the city to open it up to bikes. i think a similar thing exists in New York too--and the bay area has critical mass, which is basically much better because it's autonomous. so even though LA's thing (ciclavia) is definitely tied to making the city a happy yuppie place, there was something so freeing about biking down the street with lots of other people, not worrying about getting hit by cars. i put headphones in some of the time and cruised along with everyone else, thinking, is this what life after capitalism is gonna be like?

this version of the event was tied to the 100th anniversary of the la phil so there was music all along the route, including this sweet gamelan orchestra. after each song the members would get up and switch instruments, so there was no clear leader and everyone was doing everything. a life-giving image.

hey petal! anyone know what kind of plant this is? look at the wild skewers of berries! hope y'all had a good weekend

hi @toph, it seems to be a callicarpa shrub

— wow! great work. good googling erin. i think one of the great joys of life is "knowing just who to ask". i gotta say, most of the google images "callicarpa" results can't beat this one for radial balance, sharp delineation of well-spaced branches. it was in charlottesville — my brother and i visited our other brother at law school this weekend for his birthday. i love unlocking posts.
