DO YOUR THINGS

Five jobs I've had: -bank teller -dishwasher -wedding centerpiece maker -Christmas shop cashier -summer school French teacher

I paid my therapist a zillion dollars to tell me this, so I’m passing it on to anyone else in MN who needs to hear it: Think of taking time away to recharge not as not doing the work, but as doing quality control for the work. You’re not going to be able to show up to do it well if you’re depleted

Proceeding with cardigan. The other ball is variegated cream tones so the mismatch will really come through #knitsky

I said goodbye to my Winston yesterday. He was a smart and insightful pup. How lucky was I to know such a dog?

My therapist told me today Heated Rivalry is keeping a lot of people hanging on 🙏🙋

Maybe I don't want to be the silent strong one anymore maybe I want to scream and have a meltdown.

It's once again backup day! Repost to remind a friend to back up their writing, art, etc somewhere and check your existing solutions still work!

I love GeekEasy café. The food and vibe and coffee are great, but the mission is inspiring and worth emulating. www.oregonlive.com/opinion/2026...

I'll be making some small good items using recycled silver today: a tiny feather or two, 3 little oak leaves for oak-themed necklaces, a couple of little seed pods and I'll be casting a tiny ammonite from Charmouth in silver...

fiction is so cool. what if there was some shit that didn't happen? crazy

if i could give one broad direction to people: stop being afraid of doing something. take some initiative. find a group near you. pick up the boxes that need hauling. bring food. take out the trash. see a need that is unmet? get some friends together and do the thing. organize your niche.

big ups to cortisol, the *it* hormone of the moment. congrats queen.

introduce yourself with: 1 movie 1 book 1 TV show 1 album

Condé Nast forgot to renew the trademark for Gourmet and so a group of journalists grabbed it and are relaunching the food magazine as a worker-owned co-op. Love it. [gourmetmagazine.net]

In today's episode of "back in my day" my kids were aghast that grapes used to have SEEDS in them

Life is vanishingly short. Write the song. Make the thing. Share it.

A lot of us feel helpless right now. One thing that helps me is to be actively kinder. Tip higher, compliment someone's outfit, pick up a piece of trash. We're all butterflies flapping and breeze becomes wind becomes storm eventually.

It's been a brutally hard day, and I just want to smile a little. In case you do too here is my dog Winston in his pj's

Are you angry? Good. Now stop fantasizing about [redacted] and go help a neighbor out, stock a little free pantry or library, take a walk/roll and actually look at and talk to the people around you, make build do literally anything at all to make your corner better.

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

First day of class fatigue. Trying to figure out the best reward that isn't calorie laden 😭

I am struggling with what might be a generational experience. The gulf war was pretty politically formative for me. It’s not history so much as memory this time. It is destabilizing to see almost the exact same gameplan but this time without the guardrails that at the time I took for granted.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “lmao" said Gandalf, “well it has.”

I'm with ya there buddy

Once again that time of year for my favorite meme

While Amazon is investing billions of dollars to expand AI, independent bookstores are hosting community events, personally recommending books to readers, and providing a space that is safe and welcoming during a time when we need them most. Never underestimate the power of a local bookstore.

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

A new phrase has been born in my household tonight. I present to you... Art horny: feeling creative 🎨🖌️ #language #newwords #thisismylife #writinglife #linguistics
