My health insurance with the new job activated on January 1st. I've already reached my deductible with one doctor visit, one round of bloodwork, and one CT scan. It's so expensive to survive cancer.

I'm always a little offended that she cleans herself after I pet her.

A tall spike densely packed with tiny pale blue flowers, each one tipped with small yellow stamens that stick out like little dots, set against a blurry green background.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

A quick minute of #sweater #knitting on 3/13/26. #knitsky

A gloriously stripey warp in purple, burgundy, yellow, and orange. It is pictured in closeup on an inkle loom.

The results of that warp when woven - 3/4" wide band in two distinct patterns. One is a gradient from yellow through each colour on both sides, and the other is a purple/yellow chain on a yellow ground. It has a purple weft and a small purple edge on one side, with a slightly thicker purple edge on the other side of the band.

Some people will never understand the incredible sense of satisfaction these two pictures bring to me, and that's ok.

I don't understand the allure of sportsball or loud concerts or racetracks or reality TV, and that's ok as well.

Not gonna yuck your yum, just gonna lean into mine.

We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didn’t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the people’s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.

I'm sorry I reminded people that the atrocities we commit as a country do not belong to Republicans or Democrats. They belong to the United States of America. I only said it because it's true

The aurora’s ribbons of purple and gold,
Wash away the week's stresses, a joy to behold.
May your weekend be filled with love and light,
Bringing you peace, so calm and bright.

Dear Apple (and any other retailer):

I may answer 1 question about my experience, but when I click a reply, and it takes me to a multi-page questionnaire that would take me 30 minutes to fill out, you have overestimated my patience.

I am not paid to give you detailed evaluations of your business.

“Donald Trump is fundraising off of dead soldiers. He is a deeply SICK and DISGUSTING MAN!”

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.

Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.

But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

Talarico: "As a former educator, as someone who fought for students & kids in the halls of the Texas Capitol, it makes me sick to my stomach to see our foreign policy take the lives of innocent children in Iran & in the Middle East. It has to end. We need a foreign policy that reflects our values."

Edited boomer comic of two office workers. One holds up a phone and says: "Our crooked Republican president has decided to help out Israel in its latest war, and now oil prices are going crazy." The other, trembling, peels back the wall calendar to reveal the next date underneath: January 1973
