Just made my last trip into Joann Fabric. Having some feels. A lot of time and dollars were spent in that store over most of my life.

Need a break from politics for a minute? Squirrel!

If you missed the film Shot in the Arm in theaters in 2023, or when when it aired on OPB in November 2024 it's free online.
Vaccine importance continues as measles cases surge in the US and the rising concerns of flu and H5N1 avian flu. www.pbs.org/show/shot-in...

It was noted at the liqupr store that I announced my age (43) today, like a 5 year old being excited to be 5. Most days it's a fucking miracle I've made it this far. Hell yes I'll own my age. I don't want filler or botox, I want to look however old I am. My wrinkles and lines declare my survival.

The best sticker just arrived in the mail from a colleague of mine. Anyone who has had to sit with me through a meeting knows this is so true.

Investing in more postage stamps before the price inevitably goes up seems like a decent enough idea.

Every time I hear the news or read a headline out of Washington the Bowie song "I'm afraid of Americans" comes into my head. I suppose it's an improvement over "we're all going to die" when I heard we're leaving the WHO.

Thank you, Internet, for informing me that today is International Squirrel Appreciation Day. I needed something cheery and non-political.

I can't promise I'm going to use this much. There's definitely a learning curve to get used to and figure it all out. Reminds me of Twitter, and I hate that platform but I'm willing to give it a try. It may be time to quit socials entirely.

I work hard so my dog can have nice things like morning naps tucked in her nest of pillows and blankets on the couch. I may be a teeny bit jealous of how cozy she currently looks.

Not the worst view for a work weekend.
