Quiet & struggling lately.

Nature, beauty emerging.

Flag.

Holding on for now.
Trying.

It’s been a while since I posted photos to remember joy. Mom & I posed at Lake Louise in Alberta, Canada before a Rocky Mountaineer trip from Banff to Vancouver in 2009. She was in a wheelchair because of a stroke & the staff was wonderful in accommodating her.

Found a couple of pictures. We stayed one night at the Chateau Fairmont Lake Louise before the trip. Mom loved the trip! I miss traveling with her.

They are already trying.

Note: this is the same TN rep who proposed amending the Constitution to allow Trump a 3rd term.

Example: The local TV news posted the AP story today about the CIA belief that Covid started in a Chinese lab. The vast majority of 150+ comments were like these. They skipped, or didn’t believe, the “low confidence” part.

Peaceful memory.

Someone created one for this administration. I can’t remember where I got it, but I imagine there are examples aplenty.

This tracks…

Our library’s Libby platform has New York Magazine among its subscriptions. I hope that tracks also.

Gov. Bill Lee order flags over the Tennessee State Capitol to be raised for Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20.

Disrespectful.
Nicest word I can use to describe it.

I tried searching “AI managed by Meta” and got one profile that wasn’t AI managed by Meta, just someone using the phrase for attention.

Posting a good memory.

📚 I went to Books-a-Million at lunch. That Librarian: The Fight Against Book Banning in America by @librarianjones.com held a notable place in a political book display w/Project 2025 & D’Souza’s Vindicating Trump 🙄& Angela Merkel’s Freedom on the shelf above.

When I get to work… she’s a stray we’ve been feeding for years. One of my coworkers took her to the vet to get spayed 8-9 years ago.

I took screenshots of one such post last Wednesday. This wasn’t as wild as some of the others in the days immediately after Helene struck. 👀

I escaped to a local pub. Reading an ebook while enjoying a cider & flatbread.
