Larry celebrating his victory this morning after he destroyed my half-completed jigsaw puzzle that was previously on this table. He and Bert chewed up enough of the pieces that it will not be usable again. So much for the protective puzzle board we bought.

Our new indoor seed starting station is up and running. Seeds for the spring/summer garden have been planted. This is our first attempt at starting seeds inside rather than buying starts at the garden center. To be (hopefully) expanded in years to come. 🌱

Sydney Ward is a Singer-Songwriter based in Los Angeles. Since 2014 she has been releasing music as Sunny War. Her seventh album, Armageddon In A Summer Dress, is full of whip-smart attitude, country-tinged and authentic. sunnywar.bandcamp.com/album/armage...

The UC Advocacy Network just asked that I sign up and email my legislators about cuts to NIH and when I was done it asked me to share it on X. No Bluesky link. X and Facebook. The lack of common sense about what using that site means now is just mind boggling.

I am so sick of these unmasculine men forcing me to drink Pinot Grigio all the time. I miss beer, damn it!

“If we leave, there’s no one else who’s going to stay and do the job.” @uofcalifornia.bsky.social can say burnout and staffing aren't issues, but the workers sacrificing to protect public health, research & education know the truth—and CA deserves better. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The weather service sees no more rain in San Diego for the rest of Feb. The city should end the month with 0.92 of an inch, which leaves the total since Oct. 1 at 1.27 inches. Only 4 times since 1850 has the city not had 2 in. of rain by March 1. This year will be the driest. #sandiegoweather #CAwx
