I asked this before, but I’ve found way more friends here since then: What is your special thing? What do you do that’s not work or chores, that’s creative or relaxing or energizing or brings you joy? Some of my friends bake or paint or make quilts or climb things or make music. What’s your thing?

This young friend watched today’s entire play about the life and times of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. while upside down and backwards. Payed great attention & sang along to all the songs! #LibraryLife #BlackHistoryMonth

@idaolson.bsky.social have you ever made specialty things like fondue pots? I had fondue the other day and was looking at these very plain little fondue pots and thought “someone like Ida could make these way cooler.”

Some Valentines fondue for two! We had garlic & herb broth with cute little shrimps and very thinly sliced beef, & cheese with crusty bread, apples, and pretzels. #Valentine #Fondue

The biggest employer in my community is a navy base w/ thousands of civilian employees. Yesterday was 1st day of 100% RTO, & it was already chaotic, no space to work & networks crashing from overload. Today there’s a snowstorm, everything shutting down mid-day, & nobody knows WTF is going on. 1/3

Finally assembling a futon frame to get the futon off the floor in my office/craft room/guest room. Blaze Cat disapproves of of the noise and of ANY disruption to her environment, but I think she’ll be pleased with the result.
