On days with skies like this, I'm reminded of "Cloud Dancer," Pantone's 2026 Color of the Year:
"A lofty white neutral whose aerated presence acts as a whisper of calm and peace in a noisy world."
Wow, description outdoes the color.🙂
So grayish white is the new black!😀

You read that white: Pantone's 2026 Color of the Year is 'Cloud Dancer'
This is the first time Pantone has chosen a shade of white. The company says it's "a lofty white that serves as a symbol of calming influence in a society rediscovering the value of quiet reflection."

Dunno what I'll do with them yet. Would love to try drying them.

Actual and imagined fear, I suppose.
Fear in all its both literal and potential forms, to oneself and to loved ones. Threats of retribution, bullying, firing, doxing, primarying, swatting, loss of funding/committee stature, being isolated. etc., etc.
