I don't think it'll do much if it's just me, but I wrote Biden again about Palestine. I'd like it if everyone wrote to him. It's easy--just an email.

What does this even mean? Aren't all tornadoes violent? I've never heard of a peaceful tornado.

"A swarm of tornadoes, some violent, tore across the Corn Belt and Upper Midwest..."

So you're telling me that other countries have safer, more effective sunscreens than the US? What the fuck.

TIL that mustard plants grow very tall and have purple flowers that bees really like. I planted them because they're a great "grow literally anywhere" plant you can just yeet into the ground and leave to do their thing, and they're great at weed suppression and outcompeting grasses, but I didn't know they'd end up looking nice and making the bees happy too.

... now I'm in the mood to do some guerilla gardening.

When I was out in the yard, the bees were humming in the dandelions and over some of the budding willow.

It's a very special feeling when you make a movie ref in a chat and you are SO OLD that no one gets the reference. special like grave dust.

Speaking of toilet tabs...that's the last of the box I bought. I like them, but not enough to purchase again.

1. they are expensive for how many tabs you get.
2. the tabs aren't stable. The box is full of powder from tabs no longer in tab form.

I'm ordering eco-friendly sheets next to try.

Today's project! It's not perfect? but I'm happy with it. It looks SO pretty. :)

Back of Steam Deck with floral vinyl skin applied. The flowers are large and comic-booky looking in orange, cream-yellow, and pinks.

I'm reading James by Percival Everett. It's Jim from Huckleberry Finn telling the story from his viewpoint.

There's a lot to unpack so far. Small, almost tossed off, hard truths about racism that feel like a bright light cleaning out my corners.

Self-care day after #Sesshin is going well.

Slept til 2ish pm, Read the Tea Dragon Society comic, and am now thinking lunch & a Lego set.

Have a headache which is displeasurable, but managing alright. Hopefully lunch and more hydration will help.

We hit a coin show in Sunnyvale today and made a few finds. Better yet, we met some great people and got a few pointers to collector groups that my son will check out and maybe find some great community!
