With Joann’s closing Costco seriously needs to start selling yarn. I would snatch up some bulk Kirkland brand yarn so fast 🧶

If the strength of our relationships is how we survive, how we start to prepare to survive is by building networks of care, community, getting connected to our neighbours and our communities. So having meals together or just knowing your neighbours household make up can be preparing. We can do this

Idk if this is anything but we need to start playing offense against this administration, right? We can’t keep playing defense—we need to get ahead of them in ways they aren’t expecting, which is what they’re doing to us. Possible? How?

This is a great idea. Do you know anyone in Congress you can talk to?
Congress must take action to restore the rule of law.

“A Tale of Two Maternity Leaves”

Baby 1: Working full-time as a public school teacher in Idaho

Baby 2: Working full-time as a program manager for an LLC in California

Here’s how each of them played out—

Aside from boardgames, sports, etc., I hope someday to never be competing against other humans. Any opportunity for competition is equally an opportunity for collaboration toward mutual success.

Here in Idaho, my favorite part about taking our kids to the pediatrician is giving two enthusiastic thumbs up when the doctor asks if we’re ok with vaccines. Small rebellions. 🧪

The zombie is the archetype of our age: the mindless consumer destroying brains out of a mindless hunger.
Look around.
*THIS* is the zombie apocalypse.

Thanks Fawlty Towers for summing up how I feel toward anyone supporting these fascist clowns.

Happy MLK day and International Day of Acceptance and that’s all.

I’m not using New Year’s as motivation to accomplish a bunch of new goals. It’s cold, I’m still hibernating. January-March is time to envision and set intentions for the rest of the year. Once spring comes, I’ll be ready to tackle the goals I’ve prepared for.

It's so embarrassing to be rich and not happy. If I had $200 billion I wouldn't be trying to impress Joe Rogan with my tough boy talk, I'd be jousting on jet skis, I'd be paying church choirs to sing dirty words, I'd buy one of the really big Lego sets. Being an angry rich guy is so cringe.

What are you doing on Jan. 20 to avoid the inauguration? I'm planning a hike in the desert.

I think babies are born with infinite knowledge but no way to communicate it. Whenever I make eye contact with my baby I swear she’s trying to tell me something

Exactly 1 month out from returning to #buslife with a new child (!!) getting ahead of my anxiety by manifesting what I want life to feel like during this transition 🌸

By this time next year, I want to be connected to an intentional community (or create one): Someplace with cohousing where we can contribute our abilities & resources, learn from others, live sustainably, and help raise each others’ kids.

Looking mostly in WA, CO, OR, CA, & NM
