Interested in so many things! books and cats and insects and birds and all sorts of critters and plants and forests and mountains.

I used to do a lot of handwork, knitting and sewing and weaving and embroidery and dyeing and guitar and cello, but rheumatoid disease is making me figure out how to have a smaller life.

Off-grid in the North Cascades, solar panels with a backup generator, wood heat

Really serious about not getting covid

I swear the marine layer has an ever-so-purple tint to it, LOL. Or I've been staring at too many purple photos here.

@Catlynn @ai6yr it’s not quite dark enough here yet for any distinct aurora but the sky is definitely a more pinkish blue than usual. Periwinkle.

@Catlynn @ai6yr thank you! Usually it’s pouring rain! I’m hopeful tonight :)

Seeing secondhand reports of aurora being visible in South Florida (Miami). Anyone out there able to confirm? #Aurora #FLwx #SpaceWeather

@ai6yr I have never seen it this high for my area!

@baba_lilith@mas.to avatar

Bear is still high :/ He didn’t sleep at all last night, or today. He has to be in contact with me at all times, if I stand up he’s twining around my ankles, if I sit down he’s either on my lap or sitting on my feet. But he wouldn’t come to bed last night. And he can’t stop making biscuits, his little hands and wrists are going to be sore. I hope it wears off soon. Fern keeps hissing at him because he smells wrong and acts wrong, she probably thinks he’s a doppelgänger.

In the US, we may be about to lose all of our reporting on hospitalizations. An HHS bulletin from November noted that hospital's COVID reporting was extended “from the end of the current PHE (Public Health Emergency) through April 30, 2024.”

I hope we continue to see hospitalization data, but we may not. The US has seen 265,966 COVID hospitalizations in the first four months of this “post-pandemic” “COVID is over” year.

@augieray my 6th friend to die was about 2 months ago, but everyone thinks it’s over :/

Chipmunks at my old place - there was one I could pet. This morning I almost got to pet one here. 😊

Getting the garden ready and organizing the strawberries, found this mom wolf spider with her egg sac. ❤️

It appears people no longer know how to operate one of these. Absolutely no one knows what it is anymore (probably for the last 5 years).

I don’t know if the grayer one is pregnant or just successfully food-aggressive

Hmm, unsure what kind of weather event just went through here (microburst?) but an incredible burst of wind, you could hear it pulling air through some of the windows, every tree straining, and then back to normal.

Made a small rye loaf, will definitely do it again. I did a modified poolish since I didn’t have any sourdough starter.

@TheresaReason @dgar What is that awesome square on it????

@dgar bonus snail shell I found plus a mouse skull I cleaned. Also I’m ancient 😊 (also I have a million more rocks, shells, bones, wasp nests, shelf fungi, fossils, a mummified flat toad someone ran over on my driveway)

I'm shocked by just how “back to normal” we are, even as still mutates and spreads. For years during the pandemic, I tracked throughput at TSA checkpoints as one measure of activity.

In 2019, the peak day saw 2,882,915 travelers pass through checkpoints and a yearlong average of 2,308,559. This year, our peak day saw 2,884,783 and the average is 2,340,173.

It shouldn't surprise me. I mean, I've traveled (but I was masked, unlike 90%+ of my fellow travelers.) https://www.tsa.gov/travel/passenger-volumes

@augieray someone just asked me if they can come visit and stay over a couple days after they fly back from Europe in December. I have an autoimmune disease. :/

AP — Police across Maine were alerted just last month to “veiled threats” by the Army reservist who would go on to carry out the worst mass shooting in the state’s history. https://apnews.com/article/4d5066230b500c152a7dd0d3e4d13f1b

@w7voa Shocking how little effort they seemed to have put into finding him. Is this kind of warning so common that they don't take it seriously because the guy doesn't usually follow through?
