Just want to grow my little garden & ferment some foraged wines, sew some comfy clothes & make my cozy ... zines. 🥴 // From Central PA to Seattle by way of 1990s internet. // Kampai! 🍶
Picked up some books at a local bookstore today, and just crying, *begging* booksellers to please stop placing bookmarks inside my purchase without asking. I have so many bookmarks already, SO. MANY.

Orientation today as the new comms asst for a letterpress nonprofit. Tomorrow, visit with former papermaking teacher to discuss taking some of her equipment. And this is all lovely, hate to look gift horses in mouths &c., but a fulltime job with health insurance & retirement plan would pay my bills.

Gettin' the fam to pool our money together to buy my mother-in-law a Segway for Christmas so she can go out protesting in a way that won't cause her wonky heart to freak out.
I’m howling.

News alert email from local paper: "Seattle Times new publisher announced"
Why is this worth an email alert? We all know it's just another Blethen. We know this for many reasons, including that i'm pretty sure there was an article when the now-former publisher announced his retirement.

In a just world, Trump calling a reporter "Piggy" is from a Muppet film, and the reporter replies, "It's MISS Piggy, hiiiiiYAH!" and kicks him into the sun.

As possibly the last person in the world to actually own ink canisters for a mimeograph, congrats to me for also being the last person in the world to learn that you Do Not Store Them On Their Sides. 🤦♂️

My apologies, I used to complain about how New York was focused only on themselves and not the rest of the country, but now that the NYT is writing about Seattle I want them to stick to their fucking lane.

I am making pie for a community event tomorrow and am very nervous about it. Also disappointed in myself for not doing the crust by hand, but I have limited brain today
