Think I'm gonna try growing seedbox next year! Just look at this autumnal cuboid weirdo.
Seedbox, Ludwigia alternifolia. Focus is on one of the two eponymous cubic seed pods on a forked stem, which projects above long, bright red-orange foliage. The pods have a little hole in the center of the top face of the cube.

WAVE (1994) Acrylic on Canvas - 48” x 48” Of all the paintings hanging in my home, this one probably elicits the most comments. #art
An exponential curve expressed as a massive wave of green-blue water that climbs to vertical against a sky of puffy lavender clouds. Light breaks through the cloud cover just over the horizon casting a flat glare across rippling water before the wave climbs. Fin-like ridges emerge running up the wall give the water turbulence and dimension.

Is it weird to eat the same thing for dinner most days? And to always arrange it on a plate the same way? And always cut nuggets into thirds because half is too big but quarters are too small? I think I might be a little weird.

I need to make soup this week. For mental health. Any suggestions? Stovetop, crockpot, instant pot, whatever. Chunky, blended, both great. I don't like cumin or cilantro and I can't handle spicy, but otherwise I'm game to try some new stuff. What should I make?

Had to run to the grocery store today to pick up a few random things and, of course, I forgot my list on the counter. BUT. I got every single thing on the list! And only added a couple of impulse items: a yellow pepper, turkey kielbasa (half price!), and grapefruit. I feel very accomplished.

I say these things to friends and colleagues and they nod and acknowledge and continue to use it. so they are actively choosing to ignore harms for their own perceived convenience. I say perceived because there are also labour and ethics implications within academia that folks seem not to get :(

I believe fraternity hazing and military hazing and sports team hazing where men abuse each other is acclimating them into a broader culture of abuse where they will then believe it is their right to abuse other more vulnerable people. It’s so insidious. And that’s also why I think men defend it

Teach your son to wait. Teach him that other people are as important as he is. Teach him to apologize and go back to the end of the line if he made an entitled decision. Teach him that girls and women deserve respect in *all* scenarios—not just during sex.

Make stuff. Do your hobbies. Geek out with your weird friends. Practice arts and crafts. Every society that ever burned to the ground left behind only the handicrafts, and every society saved from the brink was saved only by arts. Do not give up the joy of creating.
