Between matches we cooked dinner and did laundry. Jeff surprised me by spinning some Aaron Copland. Perfect soundtrack for this weekend.

For perhaps obvious reasons I’m not feeling particularly celebratory today. Thinking back on our bicentennial, a vision of my red Schwinn with the stars & stripes banana seat floated through my mind. Those were good times.

My library book hold became available unexpectedly early. #1GoodThing

The drama! #WorldCup #ILoveWatchingThisSport

throwback thursday

It may seem scary to speak truth to power until you remember that it doesn’t mean you have to speak truth about power to power, you can just say any true thing like “I’m wearing shoes!” or “It’s 4pm!” and it counts

Sent from my chilly, windy, deck: Power went out as we were finishing eating our (delicious) dinner. Text from PG&E that they’ll provide a restore time within 24 hours. << Not a typo.

The warm feeling that results from watching videos from Together Together. The communal joy in the room is powerful enough to transcend the screen. #1GoodThing

Trying to explain the JoCo Cruise can be a little difficult. Maybe we should make a chart...

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.

Can we please normalize not wishing every femme presenting person of a certain age a Happy Mother’s Day? Please. Unless I have a tot hanging on my hand you are making a lot of assumptions, some of them potentially hurtful. Thank you.

My recommendation for independent bookstore day tomorrow is that you go to an independent bookstore (or several), be very kind to the booksellers, and buy a book on their recommendation that you previously knew nothing about. Your life will be enriched.

I was today years old when I realized the line in "Senses Working Overtime" by XTC: 'and all the world is football shaped' is not referring to an elliptical shape. Me, 'Oh, THAT kind of football.' #Duh

Well some kind of tummy bug got me Sunday evening. After a really rough night the Kaiser advice nurse got me back to recovery. I really thought I was going to have to go in for an IV. Not 💯 but so much better.

David Byrne’s entire set from the Outdoor Stage at Coachella 2026 is available to stream on You Tube this weekend. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

I’m not around here much these days because … While I hope it isn’t permanent because I miss keeping up with y’all, I’m intentionally spending time reading. I’m sleeping so much better. #1GoodThing

Seen during my commute. #1GoodThing

The massage chair during my 💅🏻 included unexpected, but most welcome, work on the back of my head and neck. #1GoodThing
