Must be nice to be independent and wealthy.

If we can make it to the finish line for the house construction to be done before the tariffs really start to hurt (we are about 75 percent there), the rest of this year will be spent on working on distributing stuff from 1052 square feet to 2300 square feet.

stinapag.bsky.social•44 days ago

I get an office! And a spare bedroom (aka the craft room) and everyone in the house will have their own toilet! Even the dogs will get more space for themselves.

I love my little house, which is why we added on. But I’m super excited to have the extra space WITH the original house.

mariavictoria.bsky.social•44 days ago

If you need any Spanish show ideas let me know! Also "get a four pack" made me laugh out loud! 😂

bunnisays.bsky.social•44 days ago

A Black woman's idea of rest 😂

kendrawrites.com•44 days ago

I also learned how to hand embroider

bunnisays.bsky.social•44 days ago

I'm learning different art forms starting with drawing & watercolor. Been thinking of picking up french back up. Would be cool to speak another language

kendrawrites.com•44 days ago

How are you going to leverage this hostile government takeover?

Remember, there are 24 usable hours in every day and you cannot dissociate during all of them.

ouisequitur.bsky.social•44 days ago

fuckton of running and jigsaw puzzles

lissaharris.bsky.social•44 days ago

I think I’ve landed on powerlifting and unsettlingly biological crochet

bethjacksonlb.bsky.social•43 days ago

Since secession seems unlikely, I am planning to visit countries that I hope will allow my emigration

ruujilionuki.bsky.social•44 days ago

Get better at drawing people, learn how to animate, maybe learn two or three languages

emmalabizarre.bsky.social•44 days ago

Duolingo Spanish lessons are very calming and only slightly dissociative. And I spent the Biden administration becoming a hippie church auntie (aka a Unitarian Universalist. ) which fortunately provides both distractions and people to say “go rest”.

alech.bsky.social•44 days ago

sedwards.bsky.social•44 days ago

COVID I started an MFA, moved north to an island in Puget Sound and bought a half acre with fruit trees. This time, I'm changing up work, expanding the garden, finishing a book, and same, exercise, and a lot of getting the actual (closets! the garage!) and financial house in order.

turningphrases.bsky.social•44 days ago

Since I can't work (funding cuts affected my job) I'm exercising twice a day, and learning Spanish.

411bee.bsky.social•44 days ago

You don’t know me, and you don’t know my screen time.

trenchologist.bsky.social•44 days ago

I want to learn & then get good at tying a variety of knots (for very vanilla purposes like camping and yard work lol). Finish a long-neglected crossstitch (so I finally gift it, which), make gifts bc I’m buying as little as poss thru all this, improve my Spanish, read + my yearly goal of 50 books.

noraham.bsky.social•44 days ago

Erm, hostile government takeover sorta coincided with a life-threatening diagnosis, so getting better is my goal. That plus some baking.

romatowski.bsky.social•44 days ago

I’m up 16 levels in Spanish Duolingo and hadn’t realized til right now that this is exactly what I’m doing. Sooo yeah evidently it’s working on the dissociation front lolsob

romatowski.bsky.social•44 days ago

(Also: excited to hear there’s a book coming!)

kendrawrites.com•44 days ago

So is my agent, lol

romatowski.bsky.social•44 days ago

amyelizabeth.bsky.social•44 days ago

I learned French, got REALLY into kpop, and designed a few classes. I think for this one I want to learn Korean, pare down my possessions, and outline a novel.

wrightasrain.bsky.social•44 days ago

Paring down possessions is top of my list. Have less, learn more. Let’s do it!

plains.bsky.social•44 days ago

Trying to talk to people, make plans, show up, read, also work, exercise & sleep, failing at all of it most of the time but trying

mostlybree.kitrocha.com•44 days ago

I was too sick during covid to have a sourdough phase, so I'm going to commit to bread this time. Tomorrow I want to make a browned butter cinnamon sugar focaccia.

kendrawrites.com•44 days ago

That sounds nourishing

shittykingmidas.bsky.social•44 days ago

I read that as "hostile government sleepover." This shit is unconstitutional all the way down. I wish it was turtles :(

As we all know now, Shakespeare wrote Hamlet during a plague "lockdown"!

If you're not producing world-changing art during fascism what are you even doing?! Trying to SURVIVE?!

kendrawrites.com•44 days ago

I produce a new ground breaking novel each week.

alannaeowyn.bsky.social•44 days ago

Alternating crocheting with romance novels. Might finish unpacking from the move before last.

harmonys.bsky.social•44 days ago

I started lifting weights and learning jiu jitsu, and my garden is going to be ridiculous this year.

kendrawrites.com•44 days ago

I loved jiujitsu

harmonys.bsky.social•44 days ago

It’s reconnecting me to a childlike fun with my body, which seems like a net good in These Times.

diannalgunn.bsky.social•44 days ago

I don't dissociate, I just take on so many work projects that I only have a few minutes per day to contemplate reality

royaltenenbaum69.bsky.social•44 days ago

bug-hunter.bsky.social•44 days ago

I want to learn to surf but I'm a weakling so I'm going to work on my upper body strength first. More motivation is that I told my kid that I'd be able to do the monkey bars with him by the end of summer.

Also starting a blog inspired by the triangle blog blog. Got the domain today, and told...

bug-hunter.bsky.social•44 days ago

my husband that he can go to a local planning meeting tomorrow night (and stick me with the kids) if he writes a blog post about the meeting.

gaildrakes.bsky.social•44 days ago

I see you, Kendra…😂😏

Also, I love that Black creativity means that feel compelled to sing the words “hostile government takeover!”

I love that song so much

Four pack of what

goldienewt.bsky.social•44 days ago

I also moved to the beach & switched careers from tech to working in production kitchens.

Next up: making Pine needle baskets and sea shell jewelry

goldienewt.bsky.social•44 days ago

My first Pine needle basket

kendrawrites.com•44 days ago

Omg that's genuinely cool

goldienewt.bsky.social•44 days ago

The class suggested ordering from Florida but I found a small stand of Western ponderosa pine locally that should work as well.

lizzzs.bsky.social•44 days ago

Locally sourced! Beautiful!

beccasmullet.bsky.social•44 days ago

Whoa! Impressive.

plungerman.bsky.social•44 days ago

i am diving into mandarin chinese. my spanish is quite good but have been trying to take it to the next level over the past few years.

beccasmullet.bsky.social•44 days ago

I laughed disproportionately at this thread. Thank you all!

I'm doing more gardening and getting ready to move into growing more food that can go right to the Food Bank.

beccasmullet.bsky.social•44 days ago

People are sad and angry, and tempers are short. These are rough times we live in....

sarahdougherty.bsky.social•44 days ago

I am tripling down on gardening. Had started before, but really getting serious in the quantity, new varieties, starting more from seed and finally trimming my 5 and 4 years planted fruit trees that took off. Good for soul and has added bonus as help with tariffs.

paix120.bsky.social•44 days ago

I started learning ASL

jackiness.bsky.social•44 days ago

My exact plan but you left off learning to ride my unicycle

kendrawrites.com•44 days ago

gimcrackandjimjams.bsky.social•44 days ago

I feel like I've just been stress eating and spontaneously crying the past few years

kendrawrites.com•44 days ago

Have you tried monetizing it though?

lizrd.bsky.social•44 days ago

Working on French. Improving Spanish. Practicing guitar. Becoming a better mountain biker. An entirely unmentionable number of hours in Baldur's Gate 3.

girlwhowhirls.bsky.social•44 days ago

Does nervous pacing and repetitive rocking count as cardio?

lizzzs.bsky.social•44 days ago

YES

digitalmb.bsky.social•44 days ago

What will your Spanish and French practice schedule be?

I thought Portuguese would be my third but as well as Der Spiegel covers these criminals currently occupying the WH I'm seriously considering German

But I need an accountability buddy bc my family is ... chaotic
