I had 24 kids stop by for a full-sized candy bar.
That's actually decent for my street; most families head to the neighborhood north of us.
I got some reading in, in between visits.

Chicago-area folks are invited!
This neighborhood is struggling due to I.C.E. presence and folks staying home out of fear.
Calling white neighbors to go spend as you're able, not just on the 21st.

A community activist offered, delivered, and installed this in my yard while I was at work.
I know amazing humans.

October is my wedding anniversary month, so I'm sharing a pic because it brings me joy to have married my favorite human.
Always down for seeing others' wedding pics, or other joyous occasions.
(I don't share my spouse on social media because he very intentionally does not have a presence on SM.)

As a librarian, I've honed the skill of borrowing good ideas from others (and giving credit where credit is due).
Thanks, as always, @marc-fischer.bsky.social

This afternoon was meal prep time.
1. Red chile enchiladas (NM style)
2. Calabacitas
3. Baked, cubed potatoes with chile crunch
If nothing else, I'll eat well this week.

I enjoyed this, without question. Satire + music is a winning combination for me.
It just poked at the question I carry with me everywhere these days: how much worse are things going to get before it starts getting better?
(Is that a question I don't want to know the answer to?)

I turned @pigeonpost.cafe's mailer into more art for my wall.
It's just a touch too long, so you lose Australia on the map (bottom) and the number on bird #9 (top), but it's too gorgeous for me to toss.
(I should check to see if this exists as a proper print I can buy...)

I got these beauties from @radicalemprints.bsky.social earlier in the week.
They inspired such a sense of grounding for me that I bought another set to gift out.

Just going to postcard my way from one side of this mess to the other, apparently.
