I am currently out of the country and absolutely freaking out with homesick, blizzardy longings.
Stay safe, help your neighbors, and stay warm!

I'm actually loving this wild winter

Try WRITING an advice column.
Good times

Haha exactly

The team captains look like jiffy pops

What a lifeless opening ceremony.
It's like leafing through swatches

But Vegemite is still completely disgusting

Holy smokes. Gorgeous design work, too.
If this happens to me we'll all know AI is scraping the bottom of the barrel

Cool video of this telescope released into the wild.

Seeking refuge today from the ills of the world in the waiting room of an oncology center while my beloved relative receives chemo.
It makes me think about the breadth and depth of human suffering.
Like: How much can people take before we break?

.... and ... my very first egg cream!
(Worth the wait.)

A photo of Amy sitting in a booth of a classic diner

The Birdseye Diner in Castleton Vermont.
I ordered an egg cream (!) a chocolate malted, and the #5 Hungryman Special.
No regrets
