some of the most gorgeous views on the east coast i think, my friend and i road tripped up there for a week and i never wanted to leave!! we spent a lot of time at otter cliffs specifically- running and jumping around on the rock formations, stargazing, and just listening to/watching the waves roll across the jagged rocks. we went in the summer but i'm hoping to go back in the fall time to explore other parts during peak fall foliage :)

I love visiting this park whether it’s clear and sunny or gray and foggy. Different vibes but always beautiful with the iconic rocky coast.
The waves were pretty big today so it was a pleasure to take in the sights and sounds of them crashing in their ebb and flow, washing over the rocks, receding back into the ocean, rinse and repeat.
It’s already breathtaking to be by the ocean in all her beauty and vastness and to be reminded of how small we really are. Rocky coasts like at Two Lights also offer that feeling of smallness in a temporal sense, as we only witness an infinitesimal moment within the grand timeline of coastal erosion, while sitting on the rocks that have been shaped and continue to be shaped by the ocean.
Anyways, highly recommend visiting if you happen to be in southern Maine, healing is only a 20 minute drive from Portland :)

i went to school in maine! a lot of the coastal towns (rockland, camden specifically) are really cute and fun to drive through during the off-season. much more peaceful…
portland is also great - was recently there and went to the Washington St Baths (like a spa with pools at different temperatures) which was a divine experience. also much better coffee in portland than anywhere else in the NE (including Boston)

alright, tik tok is officially down. whether it comes back or not doesn't matter, due to it likely being purchased by meta and becoming a propaganda machine.
so what do we do now? what do i do with all these feelings?
firstly, delete instagram, facebook, and any other meta/amazon apps. leave your account up, just delete the app. leaving dead accounts open costs more on their end.
second, put your money where your mouth is! no amazon purchases, only buy necessities, and shop small whenever possible. money is power, and we need to prove that THEY are meant to serve US, not the other way around.
third, physically document everything you can. every piece of news, every update that feels relevant, jot it down. doesn't have to be neat, doesn't have to be very descriptive, just take notes! create and keep a timeline!
fourth, participate in your community. talk to strangers, start conversations with anyone and everyone about anything! join a library, educate your friends, volunteer. shelters, food pantries, local politics, etc.
fifth, MAKE ART. create create create. any form any medium it doesn't matter! art is what connects us through time, what marks human struggle and human resilience.
finally, make yourself known. join local protests, sign petitions, go to city council meetings, participate in local law if it's possible in your area. be outspoken on whatever social media takes over, and in real life.
we will get through this, nothing is going to explode overnight, take it day by day, and take care of yourself too. stay educated, stay vigilant, and be brave. do it scared. you are not alone, we must be united in this effort.
