A round plush pet bed with a brown base,tan top, and flat green fabric fish inside sits on a woodgrain floor.
Belated birthday gift arrived for Grace the other day, but so far she's only sniffed/rubbed the outer edges. Fishy hopped in this evening to see if that inspires more interest 🐟

Women’s History Month tends to be overrun with tributes to white women who fought for the vote. It’s also the perfect time to highlight how many Black women did the same at the intersections of other causes.
Looking through budding plants towards a cove on a cloudy gray day during low tide. There is a burgundy building to the left, behind which you can see a wharf running out to a red building on the water. The far shore is visible as a dark line in the distance.
Several grey-and-white seagulls stand on a section of wet sand-and-silt ground, with one taupe and brown seagull in the group.
A black package of "Papa Rays Marketplace Cinnamon Chip Scone Mix" proclaims itself to be "Scrumptious" and making 8-12 moist scones "Because All Mixes Are Not Created Equal!"
A pair of cream/tan-ish brown triangular scones sit in a yellow container. One is more highly-glazed than the other, but both look tasty.
Played tourist with dear ones on Friday, baked scones (and fought brain & head) Saturday, and found interesting views Sunday :)

A bronze sculpture of a piggy bank sits outdoors in front of a fish market stall.
Looking across a flat roof to a distant shoreline below a mostly-blue sky. A large ferris wheel can be seen some ways away.
A mechanical game box with a red roof and a yellow chicken in side sports a sign reading "World Famous Free Range Psychic Chicken". The window also has a bumper sticker for "Orange Dracula"
The wall above the entrance to a Magic Shop, featuring many vintage magic acv postens.
Made my first visit to (a bit of) Pike Place Market today, with dear ones

A cat with a white front and brown tabby back and tail sits on a white windowsill with many bare trees visible outside. The edges of a blue rocker can be seen in the right corner.
A brown tabby cat with white markings sits loaf-style on the right arm of a padded burgundy recliner.
Happy 16th birthday to our Gracie-kitty :) Ms Grace actually let _me_ take a couple pics of her this afternoon! Will wonders never cease? ;)

Quite a bit of curly red hair lays in multiple piles on a black floor mat; a round silver chair base can be seen to the right.
A zoomed-in photo of a green grassy hillside in front of considerable brown branches & underbrush. On the left is the back of a standing black tail deer, while another deer is laying down facing the camera on the right.
A rather pixelated photo of a large blackberry bramble with many green leaves on the top layer, sitting on a gentle slope covered in green and brown grasses. There are three deer ranged across the the image, with a fourth deer barely visible in the left section of the bramble.
A slightly brighter and more zoomed-in picture showing two deer in front of a bramble with a third munching inside the vines.
Finally getting in for a (much-overdue, long-attempted) trim yesterday definitely counted as a #TinyJoy :) Bigger smiles this morning when I opened the blinds before breakfast to see some of #MyNeighbors already munching away :) Afterwards went out back to […]

I am contemplating the viability of actually attending FKO this year, but it will _definitely_ not be possible if I have to cover a full hotel bill. Do I know anyone currently planning to go that would be interested is splitting room costs with me?

A dark chocolate brown classic car with silver trim sits in front of a bright green bush on a sunny day.
A side view of the chocorate brown classic car, with flares from the sun captured by the camera.
Dice Club Day at the neighbor's today.....one of the members took advantage of the gorgeous day to show of their #TinyJoy

A small plush grey wolf sits on a denim-clad knee. The wolf is wearing a gray T-shirt with a teal Seattle torrent logo
The sky at Sunset as seen in a gap between two sets of shadowed trees. There are some beautiful light orange tones right at the horizon line, shading to pale blue up to medium blue at the top of the picture.
A blue sky in the evening as seen above silhouetted evergreen tree tops. The Moon is just above the tree line looking very very bright.
A white and brown tabby cat lays on a grayish-brown wood patterned floor. She has a flat green fish-shaped cat toy underneath her that she appears to be licking.
New friends, happy views, and fishy-time: more moments of #TinyJoy as we say bye to Feb and welcome March

Exactly this.
(Except I don't apologize to my friends who still use substack – maybe you're throwing your party at the Nazi bar because you get a cut of the door, or b/c it has good service and a convenient location, but you're *still* supporting the Nazi bar.)

In 2026, colleges must teach students that this is not the end of the world. We must teach hope. Current undergraduates can barely remember a time before the threats of climate change and authoritarianism loomed to catastrophic scale. Since 2010, the future depicted in TV, books, and games has been dystopian or apocalyptic, so for our current students the end of the world feels more familiar and realistic than a future with hope. Now we are asking them to choose majors and life paths when the desirability, indeed the very existence, of whole sectors of employment are in question, due to the overwhelming promises of LLMs and machine learning. As young people hear daily that vocation after vocation may vanish into automation’s maw, and that democracy, liberty, land, sea, and sky are all in jeopardy, despair is growing. Despair is very emotionally tempting. It means freedom from the responsibility to shape the future. This is a terrifying turning point, but many generations before us have faced such turning points, and met them. We can offer our students perspective. Only a few dozen institutions on Earth are more than 900 years old, and the vast majority are universities. The university system is not a house of straw to buckle in this storm: We are the rocks that have sheltered the knowledge, hope, and truth through tumults which have toppled kingdoms while classrooms endured. We can endure this, and be a guiding light through it, but only by recentering, by teaching citizens, not workers; power, not PowerPoint; aspiration, not apocalypse. Despair is how we lose. The classroom is where we battle it. All other battles flow from here. Ada Palmer is an associate professor of history at the University of Chicago.
This, from Ada Palmer as part of The Chronicle's survey of 11 scholars on the future of higher ed, is what I needed to end the week.
If I know _anyone_ going to ECCC that would be willing to pick some things up for me PLEASE let me know? _Please_

Thread of useful information
Hey yall this is your chance to show the trans community you really are an ally and you're not just saying it for brownie points!!
-Do not support ANY of this
-JK Rowling has said on numerous occasions that her income goes DIRECTLY into anti-trans legislation in the UK
-Seriously. NONE. Of it.
Dramatically lit clouds are seen through a gap in the treeline. Since twilight is approaching all the trees are only dark outlines and shapes in black.
And the day winds down....

The US legal system, & the whole of US society, has never been just, there has always been a spectrum of injustice radiating from least to most proximity to whiteness. Now the veil is off. Look closely, you're right if you say it has to change, but first you must know it has always been this way.
Want to see me in the flesh? I'll be at Iron Dog Books in Vancouver, BC, on Thursday, March 12th, in conversation with @fictograph.bsky.social to celebrate the release of BUTTERFLY EFFECTS! Come and be delighted!

Purple closed snapdragon buds surrounded by many green leaves.
A screenshot from the top of an email box reading "1-10 of 10"; the number was recently _much_ higher.
The torso and tail of a curled-up brown tabby cat can be seen through the arched opening of a tan fabric pet pod.
The night sky featuring a distant planet next to the moon with a hazy ring around it.
Days continue to be all over the place (like for so many of us, and the world in general?), but that just makes it more important to note the bits of #TinyJoy right? Some of those for me include buds spotted Sunday, much-needed inbox cleanup Monday, contented […]

If you are local to Seattle and want to help by donating to a more local effort: Traction NW has been doing good work with helping relocate trans folks to Seattle. tractionpnw.org
Cancelling trans people's driving licences in Kansas because some people insist gender is fixed at birth, and cancelling a Tennessee woman's sterilisation op because someone decided her fertility is 'sacred', is setting up precedents to justify anyone's opinion overruling everyone's human rights.
