High pain day. I'm staying in bed.

Love Blair Braverman's podcast "What to carry, what to burn." The survival stories are interesting. But it's her insights, her experience, and her kindness that really make this podcast amazing.

I LOVE cool weather. Today I got to put on socks, and they are new ones my friend sent me. :)

Things that have gotten better in my lifetime: Childhood mortality rates. Fewer people smoking. More helmet use (bikes, horseback riding, etc). Photography. Data storage. New vaccines and medical treatments.

Amazing.

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

Turns out I'm still mad about the doctor appt. on had last week. argh.

Best in show quilt at my local fair. Joan of arc.

I'm too lonely and isolated and not sure how to change that. :/

Goddamnit. Another musician I liked turned out to be an asshole. nekocase.substack.com/p/in-what-fu...

I am playing Breath of the Wild for the 2nd time in a row, and finding it very soothing. Much faster to get through the second time, plus I found some new things.

Video description: A little black greyhound lies on a comfy bed. Her person's voice asks if she wants to go for a ride, and comments, no, she wants to stay forever. The dog paws at her grandperson's leg as he gets up from a chair, asking for more pets.

Please enjoy these sled dog puppies

I think a book for dogs would be a scratch and sniff.

according to Wikipedia, LP "is gender-neutral but said in 2018 they are "equally comfortable" being considered a "garden variety lesbian woman"... "shifted to using they/them pronouns, saying in an interview, "I’m kind of transitioning over to the they/them thing; it's more my kind of vibe".

This was enjoyable. like a hot professor explains why this song is so good www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qBz...

I can easily think of a bunch of things that would improve my life but it's been hard to make them happen with so few resources. I'm grateful for the help I've gotten and the resources I do have! but. it's tough

Hadestown was so good. I keep appreciating new things about it.

Cassidy was hanging out in her stall. Girl go outside

I love button weed. It's so soft.

Feeling pretty sick today but the weather is nice and the animals are fed and happy.

Thoughts on the dead singer. Yesterday, my middle aged straight hairy biker son went on one on social media about the dead singer and those eulogising him. He did not hold back. What was unusual was that he took to social media to vent knowing it would attract vile bile. I asked him why.

for your consideration: switzerland

My face hurts badly but it's COOL and RAINY and that improved my mood after days of being too hot.

I am noticing a pattern of being fried after a doctor's appointment. The appointments make me feel worse.
