This is one of the Stripe-throated Hermit #hummingbirds that lives in the forest near my office. It comes out regularly to enjoy some nectar and then zips back into the dark.

I feel like this about my mobility scooter which is enabling me to go on long bird walks again. I wish I’d gotten it sooner #pwME
I wrote about #LongCOVID stealing my lifelong favorite hobby of cycling, learning that e-bikes aren't "giving up" or "cheating," and how riding with assistance gave me back one of the greatest joys of my life. bit.ly/48ohIH5

Hey, I want to offer some helpful tips for coping with the cold for ICE folks who might have come from warmer places.
1. Wear cotton socks! Cotton is nice and soft next to your skin and will absorb your sweat so your feet stay warm. Cotton everything but ESPECIALLY socks!

Good morning to fuckers in our neighborhood kidnapping our neighbors! Can you see the city skyline? No? You’re wondering if Minneapolis burned down again overnight? Oh no, sweetie. That’s ice crystals in the air . It looks like it will get to around -8F without windchill! Please enjoy your stay!

So, I started reading an ARC of the next @marthawells.com Murderbot novel (PLATFORM DECAY) this morning...and Murderbot's mental voice in my head has shifted to the voice of Alexander Skarsgård, from the TV series.

In a district gerrymandered to fuck to be sure that a double digit shift would never happen. Lotta folks out there don't grasp what TN07 did today and how shook up the GOP is gonna be about it. They did the unthinkable there, my heart is so full.

Said it before, will say it again: Any person as woefully uninformed as Mike Johnson claims to be doesn't deserve a job as a peoples' representative, and journalists should call him on this relentlessly.
