Found a note I wrote to myself five years ago.
1825 days of #masking #handwashing and #distancing is still not a hardship compared to the elevated risk for me and vulnerable others.
I haven't had a #preventable virus since 2019. 😷💕🏥

The uniquely self-deprecating, humorous and deeply intelligent style of @marcmaron.bsky.social podcasts have kept me entertained and necessarily distracted from complete despair for more than a decade. So glad he's here. Appreciate you, Marc! 🇨🇦💙🇺🇸

I've been thinking a lot about this brilliant, post-apocalyptic series #station11 over the last three weeks. Art is the way to #resist and #rebuild.

Pretty to look at. Big effort to shovel out of the way. And this kind of heavier snow brings a special hush to the landscape. ☃️🇨🇦🤍

I was surprised to find this little streak of colour in the close-up today.
Posting this for my American #goodneighbours because #blue is the equivalent to Liberal / Democratic red in Canada.
Stay visible in the messy tangle, please.
We need each other! 💙🇨🇦🇺🇸💙

Although this wall hanger usually holds my phone charger, it seems pretty relevant to the state of our individual and collective #mentalhealth lately.
Keep hanging on, Bluesky fam. We need you. You matter. 💙

Hopefully we will see #emilymcdowell here soon. I bought this awesome badge from her online shop several years ago and feel like it is super relevant today.
