Jessica and Harrison’s visit was derailed somewhat by an unfortunate Honda vs deer incident, but we still made the best of it and had a good time - here we are at Tootsie the Musical! Happy birthday, @jessicaelser.bsky.social !

One way to protest is to reject the consumer culture that has gotten us where we are today. I’ve been rereading Voluntary Simplicity by Duane Elgin. I first read it a few decades ago and it greatly impacted my life—but for so many reasons I got sidetracked. I’m hoping to get back to there.

My husband and I are beginning the process of simplifying our lives (though we already live fairly simply most standards). An early step was deactivating our Meta accounts. For the time being, Bluesky is our only social media presence. A small step—but much needed for our sanity. More to come.

A bill introduced in the Missouri Senate would provide a $1000 reward for any reports that result in the arrest of an “illegal alien.” I think in around 30 AD Israel that would have been about 30 pieces of silver.

This little guy managed to burrow through the thick snow and ice in our backyard. He’s been running in and out today, restocking his larder with acorns.

Other symptoms of frontotemporal dementia (FTD): Inappropriate social behavior. Loss of empathy. Lack of judgment. Loss of inhibition. Increasing trouble using and understanding written and spoken language. Trouble naming things.

Section 31 certainly isn’t the Star Trek movie 2025 wants, but I guess it’s the Star Trek movie 2025 deserves.

Welp, Bluesky—looks like it will just be you and me for the next week while I detox from Meta. And TikTok? I don’t know her.

I didn’t have it in me for much decorating, but we did put up the tree. We opted to use just our Star Trek and Doctor Who ornaments (with one exception). We’ve accumulated enough over the last 17+ years to near cover the tree.

Two agnostics at an Amy Grant concert. My husband Casey wasn’t expecting the flash on the camera.
