Who am I, what am I? I’m a mess really. He/him.
Hemming and hawing about the cold on my deck cost me fifteen minutes. Not too bad I guess. Today’s the first official day of the new routine (car trouble interfered Monday and Tuesday). Creative time is going to be used for low taxing work.

Tested out walking in the treadmill today. A very short test at low speed. No sudden jolts of pain, no serious stiffness. Gonna go again when I get home from work. Gotta remember to stand and stretch at work today too. Ortho appt isn’t until the end of the month but I’m going crazy without a walk.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again:

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Not sure where I received the recommendation to read Fonda Lee, but I’m loving her work! The Exo Duology was fantastic and I want like ten more. Now the green Bone Saga is already got me excited and, as the kids say, locked in

I’m gonna be gross and brag about my kids. I came back from my little winter getaway to a clean house. Dishes done, laundry done. I don’t even care if they had some 80’s era party while I was gone because I have found no evidence of such.

I managed to get out for a walk. There’s been so much going on and I haven’t felt like doing a lot of social media lately. I’m okay, but running a constant medium level of stress at the new job. Parenting teenagers is humbling. Love life is swimmingly delightful.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Today is much better. I can take more than a single step without pain. Actually resting and serious anti-inflammatory meds are helping a lot. Follow up with my doc later next week.

This lines up with a NY resolution but it isn’t one. I need to get back on the dreadmill. The main motivator is that this new job has a lot of stress and walking is the primary method for helping me sleep. I’ve lost a lot of ground fitness-wise and some exercise will only benefit that. Did 20 min

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

"What type of Yule/Winter Solstice ritual/magic[k] could I do this year?" Go look in your pantry and your closets and donate non perishables and lightly used Winter clothes to food banks and your local shelters. That's the magic plain & simple.

Look, even if you don’t see feeding children as good in and of itself (though it totally is), making sure kids aren’t hungry is one of the baseline ways to improve their school experience and help them for life, thereby improving society, the economy, etc. Why wouldn’t we want to do that?
