Greg shared this with me and I love it, it's helpful! We had one long beach convo about my feeling so vulnerable to messages of doom (Greg is much less so). Mastodon used to help, but after the big migration a year and a half ago, it's doom 24/7 here, too. I'm trying to just check less and mute folks who don't CW doom, and it's helping, but I need to actively cultivate a sense of hope in myself about the world.

I can't wait to see this! I watched Reading Rainbow as a kid, and then later would watch it as a teen after my high school classes, just to relax and feel good about the world. I know a lot of folks feel lovely and warm about this show, I'm so happy they're doing a documentary on it.

We were discussing the differences between sandy and rocky beaches and I took this photo of the very pretty pebbly and shell-y sand at the base of the rocks we were sitting on, and then cracked up.

Greg: What’s so funny

Me: It looks like you’ve just been murdered and I’m focused on the gravel

Greg: <laughs> “Will THESE rocks be enough to cover my husband’s lifeless corpse?”

Me: “Hmmmm…I don’t know, the wind could blow these right off the body…”

Okay I want to go on a road trip with somebody where all we do is find cute little towns and then scope out their indie bookstores. When the car is half full of books is when we know it’s time to loop back around home. Also there should be a good deal of finding the best cafes, too.

Happy Mother’s Day to moms, weird Aunts, and other caregivers, and massive loads of love and empathy for folks for whom this is a difficult holiday. 💜 My day has been quiet and nice, chatted with both kids earlier, and Jupes sent me this illustration of Finnegan based on a photo I took. I love it! I’ve never had a pet who had this much fan art - drawn by me, Jupes, a friend, another friend, and Greg had a joke oil painting of him made. Quite the furry celeb. :)

Well, Framer may not be the first first for some people because it lacks RSS. But Squarespace doesn’t allow code that automatically stylizes swift.

I could use some third part RSS tool to generate it, but that seems like more work.

Ideally Id like to find something that does all in one.

Allows blockquotes (how can a blog now allow block quotes?!?!?)
A resume
A portfolio
And a blog with swift code blocks in it.

So far Framer is easiest.

I stayed up until 2:30 am binging a show. Oops. Haven't done that in awhile.

I just woke up (so that's 6 whole hours of sleep) and I feel soooo awful, lol. Today will be fun! :D <involuntary zombie noises>

@andycarolan @dyani It was 3 Body Problem on Netflix! I haven't read the books but I really enjoyed the show! :)

@andycarolan @Helen It was so good, I was impressed with how well they juggled the bigger alien story with the smaller relationship/human stories.

Celebrating a new house, new job, and a new chapter of my life with a new Traveller's Notebook.

Snagged this gorgeous limited edition one by setting MANY alarms. It was sold out 2 min after going live.

Bringing a semblance of order and peace to my life via bullet journaling.

@MsHearthWitch Ooooo very nice! I freaking love those. Even though I'm in a Hobonichi at the moment, the Travelers will always have a piece of my heart.

@MsHearthWitch I love that you can make your own booklets, too, that just scratches an itch I've had with planners for ages. I like making watercolor booklets.

If I was on the news covering the election results, I would simply stand up and shout "STOP! You've said all of the words. It's DONE!"

I just think at some point you have to recognise all of the words have been said and anything further would be devoid of meaning. From that point on, anyone that says 'deliver/ed/ing' should have to go to prison.

@TheBreadmonkey @purplepadma Sometime I think, "Okay, I'm only going to read Mastodon until I laugh out loud," and sometimes that's like ten seconds in.

CWG ops team meeting tomorrow morning at the usual time (7pt, 8mt, 10et, 16cet), but we do need to find a time that works for everyone.

I will post an agenda in Loomio. The basics are:
>check-ins,
>compensation log,
>reports and registration issues (we can talk about onboarding here)
>Ops team elections
>updates from TWG and OC
>other issues
> task list

@Matt_Noyes @emi @sam @flancian @dphiffer @ansate @django @katanova I won't be able to make it but look forward to notes! My only question was going to be about shifts and knowing when I'm scheduled and how that works.

When you yourself are not healthy enough to protest (i.e. you know you'd be a big liability) but wish that you could, what are good ways to support the folks getting out there?

Hello from me and Finn!

hollie, to tea
@hollie@social.coop avatar

Our electric tea kettle has died after just a few weeks - sprung a leak. This is our third kettle THIS YEAR. Manufacturing is basically crap now, I know, but I really, really need my tea. I gotta solve this. I'm thinking a stovetop kettle? But we have an induction stove.

Any lovers have a favorite teapot/kettle that works on an induction stove?

(feel free to boost)

Classic Hollie move: my pen-pal of several years, who I think is awesome, recently sent me a card and asked if I’d want to exchange actual email addresses since we’re both busy and tend to go too long between sending snail mail. Her card contained her email address. Would I like to write her there? I absolutely would!

And guess what? I’ve lost her card.
Am now sending her a postcard with my email address.
(It’s a miracle I kept track of two children for 20 years.)

At Covid booster today, the guy puts the needle in, takes it out, then gasps and says, "Your skin just pushed it out!" And sure enough, clear liquid is dribbling down my arm. He yells for pharmacist who says I'm probably fine, "you probably got enough". He said he absolutely can't dose me again.

Greg just found this from the CDC, it says in the case of a botched vaccine the person should absolutely be immediately given a second dose. We'll go in tomorrow morning. 😤

I finally found an (available) IFS therapist, and she sent me this link to a YouTube series that introduces Internal Family Systems. It's great! I'm impressed, she's doing a great job giving examples and making the concepts clear.

If you've read Richard Schwartz's book(s) and enjoy getting the same things explained in a slightly different way, or have friends asking you what the heck IFS is and want a link for them, check it out:

I can’t handle much Instagram but I logged on for a bit tonight and it was so cool to see so many guys knitting and crocheting! White, BIPOC, straight, queer, there was an amazing and beautiful variety of menfolk doing the fiber crafts and proudly showing off their yarn-y makes, I love it! :) 🧶
