See paper towels roll for scale.

I thought I'd be much more successful at being loving and loved. But I was wrong.

From about 5 years ago, with my two older granddaughters. I love them.

Once more with feeling: STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS DESERVE BETTER. #May1Raleigh

Grace Monk@gracemonk· May 1

In Raleigh at the teachers' Kids over Corporations protest. Love my fellow educators! #May1Raleigh

I forgot to save the first donation of 270.09 (plus costs) to celebrate the absolute dorks of Michigan not being able to break into double digits against the Buckeyes. This donation was to celebrate Muchigan allowing Texas to hang 41 on their sorry selves. Pathetic. I hate Bichigan so much.

Post a random picture or else everything will go bad in 2026

A graphic novel type picture of the Theotokos holding her hand out to stop a murder (from the life of St. Moses) and two angels beside her.

Marching, then ball.

Me wearing my "Refusing to harden your heart is a radical act" shirt getting ready to march.

My favorite picture of the day.

The brave hero Zelenskyy shaking hands with the brave hero Patriarch Bartholomew while both were at the UN this past week.

@risquips.bsky.social Dn’t know if you saw that. Not that it isn’t heartbreaking regardless, but this just adds another layer.

A few days before he died (10 years tomorrow), my dad said, "Forgive me." And at my mother's funeral (her birthday and name day are today, and she died 8 years ago next month), my oldest son chanted her service. Maybe I have lived my best possible life.

In not-news, the view from Grandfather Mountain is beautiful.

The view is of beautiful mountains in North Carolina.

My Tank Dog is interpreting all my inner desires.

Sorry for the awkwardness of the selfie (i don't know how to phone tech correctly despite how easy it is), but I do think of you often.

I’m nothing but low to middle class, mostly because I hate and I mean hate shellfish and raw fish. Not sorry. No one would ever mistake me for anything but low rent with a good vocabulary.

A food choice chart that shows that I only like lower and middle class food and I’m not a bit sorry!

I MAY BE A LITTLE BIT PETTY. GO BUCKEYES!!

Yet another donation to New American Pathways. Because Iowa is a loser program. I mean, Iowa is a smaller school in a desolate waste of a state.

Grace Monk@gracemonk· Apr 14

I made happy donations to @newap-georgia.bsky.social for the scores of the playoff games, and then the last one. GO BUCKEYES!

A confirmation of a donation to New American Pathways in the amount of $340.23 (yes, I added fees at the end) to CELEBRATE THE BUCKEYES WINNING THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!

Grace Monk@gracemonk· Apr 14

@newap-georgia.bsky.social Another hurtful one for The Ohio State University. Because they break my heart every damn year.

Grace Monk@gracemonk· Apr 14

@newap-georgia.bsky.social I will be making more donations, promise, but had to get this awful one done first. BUCKEYES, BRING YOUR MONEY! NOOWWWWWWW!!!

St. Basil the Great in word and deed. I am convicted by my own knowledge and inaction. Lord have mercy.

Quote by St. Basil the Great, in part: When someone steals another's clothes, we call them a thief. Should we not give the same name to one who could clothe the naked and does not? The bread in your cupboard belongs to the hungry; the coat unused in your closet belongs to the one who needs it; the shoes rotting in your closet belong to the one who has no shoes; the money which you hoard up belongs to the poor.

The North Carolina mountains saying "Hey-ey!" (I know you already know. )

He was dreaming and sank his claws into my leg. Ouch. Otherwise, having my own personal mini-panther remains awesome.

Me, wearing glasses and looking lazy in the background, my beautiful black cat taking up most of the picture because he is glorious.

A Christmas tree with pink lights in front of windows with purple lights. It's a long story why the mismatch. Just go with it.

Also known as St. Marina. From artofmarza.com:

The Best of Times. Robin Williams and Kurt Russell in 1986 equals perfection. Seriously.

This is all I need to know about you:

Okay, a tiny thing that matters to no one else: I live in a small condo that was not in good shape when I bought it about 15 months ago. In the middle of the floor of the main room, there's an air vent. Floor! Can't move it without lots of money I don't have and it is not pretty. So, I painted it.

Grace Monk@gracemonk· Jul 22

My fave.

I don't remember the technical name of this guy but I love him (Tuscon Botanical Gardens).
