Agree. McMurtry wrote women with complex characters. The reader would have to erase or ignore them to miss that.

Thank you. That’s one of my concerns. I appreciate your sharing your experience.

There are options to do one eye with a bit more emphasis on close up work and the other with more range of sight or with more intermediate vision. There is the option to use toric lenses or to have the doc use a laser to correct astigmatism…

DeBOOkie @debookie.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

I’ve done the first consult, but before I choose the lenses for the surgeon to implant, I’m seeking input from others who have had the surgery and who want to maintain the ability to to up close / fine work: what has or hasn’t worked after surgery and over time.

Any artists, crafters, textile wizards, persons who do work requiring close visual acuity… If you’ve had cataract surgery, how did that impact your work? Have you found the secret lens sauce that allows you to do your work? #art #textiles #crafts #quilting #needlework 🪡🧶🎨

Witnessing makes it real for you? No. His death makes it real. It’s not about you. It will be a spectacle. They will make a human’s death a social media meme… that engenders an evil of its own. Nidal Hasan no doubt has family. We owe it to him, to them, & to ourselves, not to participate.

I used to represent death row inmates in post conviction appeals back in the dark ages. Knowing the executed person, being there on death watch, and getting the confirmation of death photos to place in the files… all of this changes you. Witnessing hits another level.

DeBOOkie @debookie.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

To dehumanize him to the point of death. Being close to execution changes you. Witnessing it wounds you whether you have noble or ignoble intentions.

DeBOOkie @debookie.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Do Not watch the execution. I’ve seen some on here saying we have to witness its horror. No, we don’t. It is a horror and an abomination. Those in charge want to make a spectacle out of the state killing a human being. They want to inure us to this. They want to dehumanize someone…

Took a walk in Discovery Park (Seattle) yesterday. Gorgeous day. And enjoyed a belted kingfisher (probably female) diving and cackling around a wooded pond. (Evidence I’m not a wildlife photographer: got too wrapt in the glory of her to think about taking a photo.) Here’s a stream instead:

Do you know what to do if you feel earthquake shaking? If you live in North America and the ground starts to shake the recommended action is to “drop, cover, and hold on”.

You might have seen this illustration. Apart from artistic liberties being taken with the width of the Atlantic, it's startling. But what if it was connected together and made *walkable*? What if you could commit *years* to walking it? Well - you can. Not all of it. But it's coming together! 1/

I don’t mean rehashing the past, “glory days.” I mean weaving layers of story together from so many years that even though you’re talking about now, everything roots and grows out of every year since you first met. Somehow time doesn’t pass between conversations.

Get yourself some friends and see which ones shake out over time. If you’re lucky, someday you’ll get to stay up till predawn talking on the phone to someone you’ve known for almost 50 years and experience the closest thing to a timewarp outside of sci-fi.

After you buy a pair of socks, why do sock companies send you 3-4 email ads a day? It’s Socks. How many feet do they think I have?! Do they think I spend all day running around on rough pavement in just socks? “It’s 8am. I bet she needs socks.” “Oh. Oh. Noon! She probably needs another pair.”

From “The Grieving Brain” by Mary-Frances O’Connor, PhD

A key problem in grief is that there is a mismatch between the virtual map we always use to find our loved ones, and the reality, after they die, that they can no longer be found in the dimensions of space and time. The unlikely situation that they are not on the map at all, the alarm and confusion that this causes, is one reason grief overwhelms us.
