I’d knit an entire skein of yarn in a fairly complicated multi-cable pattern and I just ripped it all out. My gauge was off. I’d made too many mistakes. And I think I’ll be half a skein short.

34 years ago, I sat at a table in a campus building at OSU and helped appliqué fabric letters onto a quilt square. The letters spelled out the name of someone who died from AIDS the year before. I had thought we made it through the period of fear and hatred. I was wrong.

Driving back to Chicago from Ohio. Roads were clear and quick until we got north of Indianapolis. Glad we left earlier than normal.

Hoan Hyunh came up to Andrew and I on Saturday while we stood in uptown with signs pressing ICE to ask if we were okay after being flipped off by a jerk driving by. Today ICE tried to bust out his car window with a gun.

While in the front yard last night before it rained, I saw a few bats zipping through the air. Does anyone in Chicago have advice on putting a bat house in your yard?

30-40 minutes after using my allergy eye drops, I get a horrid metallic taste. It’s awful and it ruins the taste of my tea. But I’m not bleary and itchy.

I keep thinking about last week’s Nick Cave concert. I had known he’d play “Cinnamon Horses”. But chuckled at my friends when he introduced the song. It’s so beautiful, even if it’s about masking grief.

If you’re ever stuck in an elevator, just call 911. Then tell press the call button to tell the elevator company they need a technician. Because they won’t call 911 unless someone is dying.

I just hugged a bassist who played with Shane McGowan after I asked his band to play Nancy Whiskey. He played it. While crying. I thanked him for his music, explained the impact. He hugged. I bought us whisky. We cried. I’m going to bed. He has another gig.

Any company, any person, that is fully embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion, is going to be so much better off than companies/people that shy away from it now. The current regime will leave power.

“Infantile amnesia” occurs despite babies showing memory activity
It looks like humans actively suppress our earliest memories.
