We are continually sliding backwards. The nearest facility that could serve my health needs would be over 200miles away from everyone I know. Had I been there during COVID, I'm positive I would not be here now. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

@eliotetc.bsky.social we got our next Four Seasons Landscaping

@jesszafarris.com if you haven't read it yet, I'd highly recommend Kingdom of Characters by Jing Tsu. Finished it recently and it was a fascinating dive into the process of trying to bring Chinese writing into the modern age from typewriters to digital formats.

@hankgreen.bsky.social re: video "Turns out I /do/ Have ADHD"; as someone a bit older (48) that grew up with a genetic disability (muscular dystrophy) during the same period as you did. pre-ADA, schools were a mess with helping kids. I also got noted for bad handwriting.

Was on backorder but got my copy of Monstress Compendium today in mail. 1152pgs and heavy enough it may destroy my power wheelchair if I move with it. Weekend reading is set.

Getting back into watercolor painting again. Still very loose, I've never been great at making really tight and highly finished paintings.

www.cnn.com/2026/01/29/u... Truly cruel system. As someone with very similar health issues, this is a dark fear of my own come to life for another. May all those responsible for allowing this to happen suffer tenfold.

@jesszafarris.bsky.social after this newest words unravelled, thought might find interesting. Early 2000s Japanese show made a fantastical version of Chevalier D'eon story. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Chev...

@jesszafarris.bsky.social seeing the talk about salamanders on newest episode, have you explored the Ozark Hellbender? Have some in rivers not too far from me in AR.

Got a rare double decker cat situation. Guess I'll never go to bed. And die of overheating from 2 cats worth of body heat. At least it's adorable.

@jesszafarris.bsky.social seeing the recent video; thought you might enjoy this podcast discussing the possible etymological roots of japanese word for cat, neko. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Spending today re listening to D'Angelo albums in honor of him after his passing away. Don't remember how I stumbled onto his debut album but I was hooked on neo soul afterwards thanks to him.

@eliotetc.bsky.social almost what you asked for on recent episode...

Going to be low-key for inktober this year. Real quick sketches, no planning. Except I'm adding corgi to each prompt.

@rickyftw.bsky.social if you have a need of wacky news and baseball; may I recommend the minor league team Chesapeake Baysox and their quickly removed alternate design logo recently for Oyster Catchers?

Taking the N4 of JLPT Sunday morning. Will be the first test I've taken in over 20yrs. And it is literally in the building where I took freshman university English in 1997. I may get weird flashbacks from this, we'll see 😅

@katmabu.bsky.social took this sunning photo of my orange girl Chibi. May have to put it on my wall...us orange cat people are doomed to obey them always.

@eliotetc.bsky.social @rickyftw.bsky.social re: Emus. story from when I was a teen in early 1990s. my grandfather who was a recovering alcoholic was sitting on his porch and saw something that made him call my mother. He was worried he had fallen off the wagon and drank without realizing;
