Routine admiration of my native flower bed. Spent ten hours outside yesterday gardening, seeding some marigolds, coneflowers and more right next to this bunch.

Catching up in my Hobonichi Techo. Only now getting to fill my entries for the end of April. But I am digging into my stickii hoard for once! #journaling

Looking for home.

An update on my native flower garden blooms. Gaillardia is truly pulling her weight, hers and everyone else's. She'll probably bloom throughout early autumn. #nativeflowes #nativeplants

@musaalgharbi.bsky.social's introduction of the term symbolic capitalist really helped me understand my discomfort with the place of libs, academia and professional intellectuals in liberation movements. I'm finding a lot of intersection with Heather McGhee's The Sum of Us and Ruha Benjamin's work.

Weeding and gardening playlist of the day:

It's a good moss day. And love to see some lichen in my industrial urban areas.

Rest is Resistance author Tricia Hersey mention eyyyy 🛌🏿

Oh to be a little bastard cat warm in my nest of pillows and stolen blankets on a rainy day.

Anyone else worry when there's a startlingly high number of extras included in your order? Like is this financially sustainable😵‍💫? Anyways new 2025 calendar😆

Second spread in my anime journal. Trying to pare down my thoughts before I run onto the next page is a lot like trying to write an abstract😅. I have an interminable amount of thoughts on MHA.

I'll admit this took me longer than expected because perfectionism kicked in, but once I started actually writing a character reflection for MHA Vigilantes' All Might I became sure this is just the first entry.

Switching things up from junk journaling and trying out anime (special interest?) journaling. Trying to do a focused composition is a little harder actually...

Trying to pick which to read first is hard. Maybe cute manga or rebuttal to bad faith historian discourse?

Lately, I've started junk journaling, using my packrat's hoard from the last ten years. I used to make SoulCollage cards, but who knows where those ended up.

These days I mostly play with different kinds of textile arts. Having done my masters research in Mexican embroidery, it's one of the things I love to info dump about and ask people about.

I used to do a lot of pen and marker sketches, but it's been a long time since then and now this is my aspirational level going forward 😅.
