So remembered to post prev day's pic, then got so distracted dealing with body things and con-prep and so on, and forgot about Tuesday 😆

Busy day, again with fluctuations, but also #TinyJoy moments and productivity. Hope yours was well 😊

Yesterday people quite enjoyed the cake I'd made, even if it didn't quite turn out as usual 💙

Happy Imbolc / St.Brigid's Day / Full Moon / February 1st / Sunday 😉

Here we had moments of quiet and music and #TinyJoy and DailyDeer and candles and tasty foods and fellowship and pirates and peeks of sun. Hoping the good parts continue through the season....

Folk in range of Madison, WI, here's my recommendation for good break tonight 💙
In less than an hour, Jack o'the Dust live at @mbcbrews.bsky.social's Madison Taproom on East Washington Avenue! Stringed instruments! Pleasant sounds! Beverages! All the typical things live human music events have. You will remain alive and totally uncooked. Singing along is very normal.

Because taking a pause doesn't mean things stop happening, just that you might have a bit more space for them after.
On a day like today, with my career teetering on the resilience of my bowarm and 2 fresh ER bills coming my way and a nationwide strike tomorrow what with folks getting killed in the streets a state over, I ask myself a question:

Do I have 2 minutes + 24 seconds? www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPCJ...

Signal boosting since I also know folk in both places - if you can help Eljay help others let one of us know? 💙
Do I know anyone who is driving from Chicago to the Twin Cities soon? My local Michaels had these art kits on clearance for $2 a piece so I bought them all and I know a place where they can be donated to be included in grocery delivery to shelter in place families. Shipping is doable but pricey.

‘Bubble batteries’ move from prototype to global rollout. Italy-based Energy Dome has begun operating a 20MW CO₂ “battery” that stores surplus solar and wind power by compressing and expanding carbon dioxide inside a giant dome.

Also reminder from Kimberly - guidelines changed in 2023, so if it's been a while since you checked it's worth looking again
If you need something positive to do to help your community right now that will cost nothing but time, go give blood. Someone is always in need. (A family member's life was saved by donated blood.) For a list of blood donation centers & blood drives within 20 miles of your zip code, search AABB:
