I made a massive amount of ham and bean soup with extra veggies and lentils. But I’ll deal with washing the crockpot and getting it into freezer containers tomorrow. Tonight is for not doing any dishes.

ME: Dominos.
CHOTINER: Right. And you can order from your laptop?
ME: Yeah. Well, I can also use my phone. Sometimes that’s quicker.

Malicious compliance. It’s an excellent resistance tactic. Everyone makes mistakes. Service slows down. Things happen!

To process the chaos, I'm spending a few minutes each night stitching a news diary--embroidering tiny icons representing an important story of the day.
One month in, and it feels like I've already sewn a year's worth of news. But it helps me make sense of it all, so I think I can manage 11 more.

The worst people love to say future archaeologists will know if someone “lied” about gender because bones. But they’re dumb. The important parts are the burials, with care, with intention, & with love. Flowers, toys, gifts for the deceased. Proof of survival through disability. That’s the cool part
One of my favorite facts about humans is the first marker of civilization wasn't a tool or a farm. It was a healed femur bone. It was twisted and mangled in a way that meant the owner likely never walked again, but they survived an injury which is a death sentence in every other species on earth.

lol I said the exact same
I haven’t said anything about this story because every time I think about it, I feel my gorge rise. This is like…piss off the ancestors type of shit. Your bloodline will be cursed type of shit.
The story of the agents who ate at a restaurant and then WENT BACK AND ARRESTED THE EMPLOYEES LATER is so fucking against basic human empathy that it makes me nearly black out with rage. I don’t know what to do with that information, that someone would do that.

I like that Bluesky consists of an older crowd because I've noticed less 19 year old lecturing me about something that I've known for 20 years because they just learned about it in their political science class.

I went out for coffee with a JD Robb book playing in my headphones and couldn’t smother a laugh when a character said “she looks like she can’t tell a cock from an elbow” and it was a sort of sweet compliment.

I owe most strangers grace if they’re just having a bad day. I owe my friends love when I’m having a bad day. I owe myself kindness when I don’t fucking feel like it. No one is an island. “Fuck you, I got mine” is a cancer. Society cannot survive otherwise.

My dad, who moved in his retirement to SC to avoid winter weather, is sending me ring camera footage of snow falling on his driveway. He is displeased. Fine by me. The man sent me a bunch of egg/bread/milk memes when I spent hours shoveling last week.
