Unexpectedly having to cover a shift at work. Outlook express seems to be misbehaving. Struggling to focus and get things done without technology problems on a Saturday.

I don’t understand how some folks can work at a desk all day without music. I just can’t focus without a little something in the background.

Hemming and hawing about the cold on my deck cost me fifteen minutes. Not too bad I guess. Today’s the first official day of the new routine (car trouble interfered Monday and Tuesday). Creative time is going to be used for low taxing work.

Tested out walking in the treadmill today. A very short test at low speed. No sudden jolts of pain, no serious stiffness. Gonna go again when I get home from work. Gotta remember to stand and stretch at work today too. Ortho appt isn’t until the end of the month but I’m going crazy without a walk.

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Not sure where I received the recommendation to read Fonda Lee, but I’m loving her work! The Exo Duology was fantastic and I want like ten more. Now the green Bone Saga is already got me excited and, as the kids say, locked in

I’m gonna be gross and brag about my kids. I came back from my little winter getaway to a clean house. Dishes done, laundry done. I don’t even care if they had some 80’s era party while I was gone because I have found no evidence of such.

#fungus #mushroom I managed to get out for a walk. There’s been so much going on and I haven’t felt like doing a lot of social media lately. I’m okay, but running a constant medium level of stress at the new job. Parenting teenagers is humbling. Love life is swimmingly delightful.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
