Half awake trying to muster the energy to get moving with a stupid headcold. Just held my breath to figure out what the weird crackling noise is... it's my lungs 🙄

We got a new baby. :)
We did a thing. His name is Poe. I'll try not to flood my account with adorable puppy pics, but no promises.

What the fuck, Vermont?
IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative.

The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

Sedation dentistry is no longer weird. Phone cameras are really good. The price of solar panels has dropped by tens of thousands. Southern white rhinos, giant pandas, Arabian oryx and Stellar sea lions are no longer endangered.

And, I can testify, modern cancer treatments are fucking amazing.
Please give me an unironic list of things that have gotten better over the last ten years because I’m spiraling.

I’ll start: you can buy an enormous TV from Costco for like $100 bucks now.

It was a beautiful trail. We had a really nice afternoon
Took a stroll today on the Robert Frost interpretive trail in the Green Mountains National Forest.

I'm so happy we moved here. :)
Went for a little walk in the woods. It's still hard to believe that this is just a small part of my little towns recreation area and trails.

Printed off some cardstock bookmarks and I'm pretty happy with them. I have them listed in my Ko-fi shop as a set of 4, if anyone is interested.

Bookmarks! I have 4 illustrations inked, scanned and ready to print as soon as I get some better paper to print them on. Now the question is, do I laminate them or will heavy card stock be enough? I guess it depends on what cardstock I can find.

I sure would like to gravy that calabash.
For anyone wondering why #gravy has been trending: AI hucksters are trawling through your social media posts for training data and trends.

And you know what can gum up the gears of an automated sentence generator?

Best decision we've ever made was to move here.
Yeah, the winters are long and dark but having sights like this in the warmer months makes it totally worth it.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.
