In fact, it can change the whole course of your life. Some time around the year 141 CE, the philosopher Junius Rusticus gave a young Marcus Aurelius a book from his own library: the lectures of a former slave named Epictetus. Marcus would remember the gift gratefully decades later, thanking Rusticus in Meditations “for introducing me to… ## [The Elders](https://mouseshouses.tumblr.com/post/825394856186806272) _2026-08-19 · MousesHouses_ The Elders ## [Seaside attractions](https://mouseshouses.tumblr.com/post/825116519159709696) _2026-08-16 · MousesHouses_ Seaside attractions ## [Celestial show](https://mouseshouses.tumblr.com/post/824840932580048896) _2026-08-13 · MousesHouses_ Celestial show ## [The encounter](https://mouseshouses.tumblr.com/post/824602384522182656) _2026-08-10 · MousesHouses_ The encounter ## [Class: Forage Mushrooms Without Dying](https://frankhyman.substack.com/p/class-forage-mushrooms-without-dying) _2026-08-09 · Frank Hyman · Frank Hyman’s Substack_ Avoid heat stroke!

I don’t want to spoil the plot, but he needs a new butt not for any culture-war reason but because his has a crack in it. That’s funny, especially if you’re four or five or six or seven. My boys love the sequels too, I Broke My Butt! and My Butt Is So Noisy!, which I’ve read to them many, many times. They’re funny and silly and ridiculous and… ## [parents](https://mouseshouses.tumblr.com/post/824028821116289024) _2026-08-04 · MousesHouses_ parents ## [Have you waxed your turtle recently?](https://mouseshouses.tumblr.com/post/823756437218033664) _2026-08-01 · MousesHouses_ Have you waxed your turtle recently? ## [Daily plans, scheduled by AI (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/eipCWYS0bbcA) _2026-08-01 · **Sponsored**_ AI-made daily plans that schedule tasks and protect focus time. ## [Say Ahhhh](https://mouseshouses.tumblr.com/post/823302855748386816) _2026-07-27 · MousesHouses_ Say Ahhhh ## [Beach ball](https://mouseshouses.tumblr.com/post/823030999368794112) _2026-07-24 · MousesHouses_ Beach ball ## [family reunion](https://mouseshouses.tumblr.com/post/822756265649389568) _2026-07-21 · MousesHouses_ family reunion ## [The tiff](https://mouseshouses.tumblr.com/post/822397387213570048) _2026-07-17 · MousesHouses_ The tiff ## [The 16 Perfectly Reachable Habits That Made Me Who I Am](https://ryanholiday.net/the-16-perfectly-reachable-habits-that-made-me-who-i-am/) _2026-07-17 · Ryan Holiday · RyanHoliday.net_ For 2,130 consecutive games, Lou Gehrig played first base for the New York Yankees—a streak that would stand for five and a half decades. He put up a career .340 batting average. He was a two-time MVP, seven-time All-Star, six-time World Series Champion, Hall of Famer, and the first player ever to have his number retired. All from a man who wasn’t born an athlete. As a boy, Lou Gehrig was so… ## [Moonlight](https://mouseshouses.tumblr.com/post/822031415682236416) _2026-07-13 · MousesHouses_ Moonlight ## [Mouseland in Portland!

I woke up with a bunch of them this morning. I was exhausted. My kids were fighting. My wife has been sick. It was ungodly hot—literally the hottest Europe has ever been.

Often, in fact, it’s the opposite. What draws most people to writing in the first place is that they’re introverts. At least, that’s what drew me! We like to sit quietly, alone in a room, working through our thoughts on the page. That’s the whole appeal. So one of the strange… ## [My Bad! the Viking Experience is 5/30 & 31.](https://frankhyman.substack.com/p/my-bad-the-viking-experience-is-530) _2026-05-23 · Frank Hyman · Frank Hyman’s Substack_ Viking Academy link! ## [Tomatoes!

If you walk into the locker room or practice facility for a professional sports team or elite college program, one of the things that strikes you is what they put up on the wall.
