If you ever worry about keeping a stupid joke in your writing, know that J. R. R. Tolkien calls two founding ancient hobbits “Marco” and “Blanco” in like the first 20 pages of LOTR.

Morning report: Frost again, but the crocuses are emerging. Blue jays are ravaging the bird feeder. A mated pair of cardinals have staked out the pea trellis. The trunks of trees in woods are bare where hungry deer have stripped them. The first signs of trillium and glory of the snow have arrived.

Morning Report: The sun was egg yolk yellow coming through the curtains. The sky is a cloudless sea. The chickadees and tits are crowding the feeder. A pair of robins is building nest in bare vines of the arbor. The catty ice is gone and so all are all the holly berries. No long underwear needed!

Morning Report: we’ve entered the toggle season. Yesterday was snowing and grim, today is bright and clear and filled with birdsong. the winter nests stand out on bare trees. The rabbits and deer are out foraging at dawn — you can see the flare of their white tails as they disappear into the woods.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.

Morning Report: the birds can feel spring coming. The neighborhood is overflowing with birdsong today. Sparrows in the quince, fat great robins in the apple tree, and pair of dark-eyed juncos nesting in the hollow eye of a dead branch. A bluejay claimed the last of the buckwheat on the porch.

It's not just fdr. One of the things the epa did not long after it was formed was document the nation's pollution via photography. That can seem frivolous, but generations of Americans have no idea why the EPA was necessary. This broke a million views when we published it in 2017

Photo of my Howl Pendragon cosplay on a sewing form, frontal three quarters view. White shirt and black pants with a pink and blue jacket thrown over the shoulders, like the Studio Ghibli design. The jacket is heavily beaded and covered in floss and ribbon embroidery. There are also two necklaces with blue pendants around the form's neck and a pair of green drop earrings pinned close by.

Photo of my Howl Pendragon cosplay on a sewing form, view from the back. Black pants pinned to the sewing form with a pink and blue jacket thrown over the shoulders, like the Studio Ghibli design. The jacket is heavily beaded and covered in floss and ribbon embroidery. The back of the jacket shows the scene from the Ghibli film as a young Howl standing on a meadow catches a falling star. There are other falling stars in the night sky. The meadow is completely beaded and framed in a golden velvet ribbon. Embroidered with golden floss beneath the golden ribbon reads: "You who swallowed a falling star, o' heartless man".

I don’t believe those who went into this past election taking pride in the unemployment numbers understood that the near-record low unemployment figures — the figure was a mere 4.2 percent in November — counted homeless people doing occasional work as “employed.” But the implications are powerful. If you filter the statistic to include as unemployed people who can’t find anything but part-time work or who make a poverty wage (roughly $25,000), the percentage is actually 23.7 percent. In other words, nearly one of every four workers is functionally unemployed in America today — hardly something to celebrate.
