This weekend, I had some friends over for soup and while they were here, they broke down all of the cardboard boxes I've been procrastinating on for months, while adorably pretending to be monsters destroying a city.

I think this might be one of the purest forms of love I've ever experienced.

I didn't realize it was actively unsettling to have a ton of people refer to me by my legal name until this past weekend, since C is the only person using it frequently. It's not bad, but I'm so used to being called my sca name that I wasn't responding to people after introducing myself. Oops

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Once again I am shocked about being disabled by my own disabilities after I stepped outside of my carefully curated system.

Everytime I think I am exaggerating stuff something like this happens and, nope, it turns out my entire lifestyle is just one big accommodation, change is catastrophic.

so where are the op-eds about republican overreach today? where’s the commentary about donald trumps war against american citizens or his terror campaign targeting brown people? where’s the pearl clutching over the conservative social media bubble reliant on nazi propagandists?

we currently have a book display at the library titled β€œTwilight and Shadows,” which includes only books with either β€œTwilight” or β€œShadows” in their titles. i love how absolutely literal-minded the idea is. πŸ“š

A gift of new baking supplies from C has arrived, and I know I'm truly old, because I'm deeply delighted by the bread sling. I'm so clumsy and burning myself on the dutch oven is really only a matter of time, so this should help. 🀞🏿

I know i'm going to enjoy seeing people at crown tournament this upcoming weekend, but god am I tired. It's important to stay in community even as the horrors persist, but I kind of just want to hibernate.

I won't, but it's so tempting.

I overdid it, and today has become a mandatory rest day, but luckily I have Miss Brioche to generously watch over me.

More bread, less doomscrolling continues to be successful.

I'm also so close to finishing the sleeves on the sweater I'm knitting, which feels good, even if I'm still terrible at italian bind off.

Sone conversations in left leaning spaces right now are reminding me that Black Mainers remain a complete hypothetical to a lot of people. You think I'd be used to this after over three decades of existence, but it remains irritating.

food banks have already been under pressure over the past several years, and with SNAP benefits expiring they're going to be the only safety net for a lot of people

please donate what you can. $100 can feed several families for a month because of the discounts and purchasing power they have
