This is too early, but I have a 7:30 appointment

Cherry Blossoms on the Way Home (2021) Art Print: society6.com/a/artists/ry...

It is possible I'm the only person who doesn't get my lunch delivered to my work. I'm some kind of weird outlier, yet again. Also I make sure my lunches are things I can eat in front of children in a pinch without snacks they are not allowed to bring like candy and junk food. Fruit and veg instead.

I have realized with the Monday I'm having tomorrow, I needed to shower, make lunch, and get the new pairs of jeans in the quick wash and into the dryer so I would have pants tomorrow. @scarmath.bsky.social nobly did the horrible pile of dishes tonight left over from this weekend.

I cannot believe it. I had a whole weekend to get my entire life together—do my errands, rest, work on my hobbies, work around the house, watch games, take care of my pup, cook, & make progress on my self—but it’s looking like I’m not gonna make it. I’m not gonna get my life together in one weekend.

A 1580 map of Tlacotalpa, a small river village in the southeast of the state of Veracruz, Mexico. Drawn by Sevillian navigator, explorer, cosmographer and cartographer, Francisco Gali, it is one of the first examples of local nautical cartography in Hispanic America.

I accidentally bought some plants and pots because it is still brown and mostly dead out there and I dragged the boyfriend to two nurseries so we could spend time with greenery.

Today is Septidi the 17th of Germinal in the year 233. Germinal is the month of sprouting. Today we celebrate the larch. #JacobinDay More information on the larch

Discovered the most delightful BBC interviews from the 1970s with old ladies who had been teenagers in Victorian England youtu.be/pv6V1yHvJyo?...

The map's form: song It shows: the future Its purpose: ornamental

Me: do you sell dog ice cream? Lady: yes! Which would you like? Me: uh, I dunno. Meat? Lady, squinting: small or large?

Beyond Winter (2025)

Note to self. [from Albert Camus' Notebooks, 1935-1842]

Geckos, man. I looked in a sliding window channel and it was like Jurassic Park in there.

I am shocked Vermont is not considered more apple orchard

YOU GUYS.

I am so tired and I am doing emails before I even eat and this is not good

A reflection on Greenland, from the personal to the geo-political — this week's Letter From London by @lyst.bsky.social. [via @counterpunchmedia.bsky.social] www.counterpunch.org/2025/04/04/l...

Had a dream I tried to call my mother on a payphone and the call wasn't going through and realized I had a cellphone in my pocket and was going to try that as there were people waiting and woke up to realize she's been dead nearly 8 years and I can't call her on any device. Which is really annoying.

I either have tinnitus happening or I can't shake the ghosts of the noise machines at work

Purposefully, the girl is rabbit-hearted. If appearances are correct, the person very like herself is a bee among beetles. Together, they must just solve the riddle of the house.

BREAKING: the Trump administration has announced a new policy of “sakoku,” banning almost ALL foreign trade except for a small Dutch enclave; said to be looking at confiscating and destroying firearms to protect traditional samurai class

Best alt text.

Have half a minute of water striders dancing and birds singing in this wetland pond in Long Beach.

Have a calming beast in your feed.

I got thrown up on by a small baby, twice, and luckily I have a change of clothes but now I'm home and getting in the shower for 900 years

Raining all day today and I am back with a patchwork of rooms as the lord intended, infants of various ages and mobility in all of them. If this congestion in my head doesn't get relieved soon I'm going to take drastic measures. I even got a second shower to try to do..something, & still can't hear

It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

Here are the US reciprocal tariffs against all the territories mentioned in Enya’s Orinoco Flow

Love working in childcare

Now eating my packed lunch at the hospital café room and the ceiling is high but has significant sound buffering and I feel like I'm in a capsule where I can hear sounds but nothing with distinction around me.

I find myself yet again in the hematology clinic, surrounded by people with cancer, still not having cancer.

Mud season has begun in Vermont, but soil isn’t the only thing that’s thawing. So, too, are the amphibians.
