I'm currently reading a book (not this minute, just in general). Reading again is part of my big plan to make my brain less stressed and mushy.

Today at lunchtime.

Just got my emergency room bill from earlier this year for $422.70. I'm sure it would've been higher if I didn't have good insurance. We want universal healthcare not tax breaks for multi-millionaires and billionaires or new wars.

Yesterday we learned of yet another family at my kids’ school with a detained parent. Please share & donate if you can! www.gofundme.com/f/ayudennos-...

I had to throw away my favorite dish sponge and didn't have a backup. I had Brian go to the refillery to pick up a few more but they are out and they have a waiting list. I understand why. It's the perfect size. It's a great sponge!

Anyone want to buy some vintage movie cards? 😅

I bought these cards when I was 9 or 10 years old. I was under the impression that they would be worth something someday. This was 32 or so years ago. I still have them in the wrapper and all.

It used to do this on Fridays. It's not Friday, and it's been a long time since I asked, but tell me something good from your life. I think we could all use that right now.

Behold, I made A Shop. folksy.com/shops/anoddt... So far it has leaf picnic mats backed with waxed cotton! More things to follow as I photograph them. #sewing #sewsky

We got vegan biscuit sandwiches from Hammerhead yesterday.

It's such a beautiful day that I feel like I'm wearing 3D glasses. 🌞

I am pretty proud of this. Wordle 1,717 2/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 ID: Two rows of squares. The top row has blank squares with one green square at the end. The bottom row has five green squares.

Took a walk at Lake Padden today.

Dreams

It worked. It's like virtual body doubling.

I was getting things done, but then I sat down and started doomscrolling.

who could have seen AI become weaponized by a corrupt government, except for literally everyone, as well as decades of science fiction

I know this feels pointless but everyone has to call their congressional reps and say they oppose war with Iran and they oppose Trump illegally starting one without congressional approval — both 5 Calls can help you make the call: 5calls.org/issue/iran-i...

I've had a pretty good week this week!

What a gorgeous view and sunset!

We're moving next month! We're also moving in April!

When I woke up this morning, I thought I had a couple of hours left to sleep. It was so disappointing when my alarm went off a few minutes later. 😆😭

Sunset was pretty tonight. This is one thing we'll miss about this apartment.

This is Minneapolis: The Signal chats are as busy as ever, with fewer rapid response/observer needs but THOUSANDS of Minneapolis folks trying to fundraise rent for our neighbors. Again. It feels impossible to try to raise this much money yet again, but we have to try.

I had my first dream about moving to a new apartment. It was an upstairs duplex unit in an old house just like our new place. Kiki was there. I was confused about how she was still alive, but told myself that we kept giving her steroid shots and she just kept living. 🥺

Does anyone here use a light therapy lamp to reset your circadian rhythm and/or for general winter light therapy?

It's done! We're moving in on 3/14. We move to our long-term rental on 4/21. I need to remember to take some time off from work to move.

Look at this girl 🥹🩷

Well, I think we have a place to live for the foreseeable future! I'll know for sure once our temporary rental landlord confirms she has received our signed lease and deposit.

Well it's 9:03 and I'm still using a screen, but we're trying to finalize our temporary lease for the five-week gap between apartments.

I will sleep better tonight because you all gave us a $12k boost today to help us meet more March rent needs for families at our neighborhood school. 🥹 THANK YOU for helping us help our neighbors. ❤️

And yet we keep concentrating density and new development along busy car corridors to avoid upsetting single-family homeowners

I want to start getting better sleep. Maybe I'll start by not using screens after 9 pm. I wish we had more time in the day to get the optimal amount of sleep, cook healthy food, and keep up with chores, but I know I can still make improvements even if it'll never be perfect.

We had $18k in rent requests come in just today (so far). We’re anticipating needs at our neighborhood school to be over $100k again this month, but this time donations are WAY down. We don’t have enough money to cover everyone. Please help us keep our neighbors w/ young kids from being evicted!

I listened to this interview last night and thought it was interesting what he said about indoor air quality. I'm going to be spending as much break time as possible outside from now on. I don't have access to a window to open for a period of time to get fresh air.

Can't wait to see what they have planned for the Shoestring Circus this summer.

Stevie and the Sacred Animals follows Stevie, a smart, spunky 6-year-old Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) girl who moves from the city to her First Nation community. redpopnews.com/stevie-and-t...

The circus was fun as always! Loved the last act. It was an aerial act with lots of bubbles! 🫧💗✨

On our way to the circus! ✨

We ran out of coffee this morning so we went to Roam for breakfast. Took a walk around Elizabeth Park and then went to run some errands including buying more coffee and coffee filters.

There's a clear view of Lummi Island today.

We had fun seeing Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die at the Pickford on Grand tonight. We need to go see more movies!

Walking to date night is the best. 😊

No one should accept anything less than universal basic income as a policy response to AI. There is only one way to make sure AI works for all of us and that's to MAKE THEM LITERALLY WORK FOR ALL OF US via a universal dividend that grows as national productivity grows. Also universal healthcare too.

Maybe it's watching Ted Lasso. 😅 #Believe

I don't know what happened, but I'm feeling very motivated today! 🌟

I want to have the same weekend days off as my husband again.

Ted Lasso is a good comfort show. I know I'm late to the party, but I only recently got Apple TV.

Seattle... If you don't love me at my cold and rainy, you don't deserve me at my warm and sunny.

You can barely see them here, but there were some deer friends out on my walk home.
