NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE

then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results"

and i was like.
oh!

We can all use even more cute dogs so I’m going to have a Dog of the Day. The dog or dogs or cats or cat who make me smile hard. Look at those cute ears! The little feets ☺️ This is a dog who has the glow of one who is well loved 🤍

Well, I'll be damned...

I'm 4/5 on my last #Medium stories being 'Featured' by the #MediumPublications I wrote them for.

That's hard to beat! It's a smaller pub this time, though, so it still needs love from #FilmSky and #WriteSky folks 🥰

The stories are always in the research. Just dump it in Apple Notes with some good tags, you don't need a full zettelkasten system.

How uncrewed narco subs could transform the Colombian drug trade
Fast, stealthy, and cheap—autonomous, semisubmersible drone boats carrying tons of cocaine could be international law enforcement’s nightmare scenario. A big one just came ashore.

Have you heard? Fern probably has... she's all ears [almost]!

Bat-eared foxes like her use their enormous, five-inch-long ears to listen for prey, even when it's underground.

I don't know anyone who participates in polling -do they still only call people with landlines? Does anyone under the age of 50 actually answer calls from unlisted numbers? I don't trust the opinions of people who answer unlisted numbers. I bet his approval ratings are actually lower.

My Crochet Today. I started working on another basket. This one is 20 inches wide. This is the base of the multi colored basket. Crocheted with multiple strands of yarns, threads of various fibers and textures. Basically anything in my scrap yarn basket. No two alike. I love the randomness.
