It was apparent almost immediately in the #steotchalong that I had miscounted the top row on two flowers, but I was brand new to cross stitch and fractional stitches—it to so long to make them—that I didn’t want to redo them. Pattern 5 forced me to choose: redo or improvise. I chose the latter.

Listening to Heretical Fishing and cross stitching after hitting some PRs at the gym on squat cleans and cardio movements feels like some kind of nontoxic masculinity healing.

I just said “acrid smell” (I was getting some B vitamins), and I realized that’s (presumably) the pun of Akrid Snell in #thursdayNext … had sort of wondered on and off for a couple decades whenever I reread it. How unfortunate for him.

I love the optimism about Dems winning in November - I share it! And: I'm a tiny bit nervous that winning will free folks of the urgency to fix deeper structural problems in our party that will fuck us in the long-haul if we don't grapple with them.

Has anyone read the Inn Side Shop? Very curious about your takes on it. I can’t tell if I enjoyed it or not, like maybe I liked it enough as a concept to read the rest of it? It felt incredibly uneven, like baffling so.

Working out with a 1:1 trainer in addition to my normal CrossFit classes, which are practically doubles every time, is meaning A LOT of load and a lot more recovery than I would like to accept.

NO FLUID was found in Nolan Wells' lungs or airways, per the autopsy report by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner. How do you die by "accidental drowning" if there is no water in your lungs?

“The Waiting Song” by Ani DiFranco has been running through my head the last few days. It’s been running in and out the last couple years honestly. Lyrics in image or alt text.
The Waiting Song by Ani DiFranco lyrics

your basic average super star is singing about justice and peace and love
and i am glaring at the radio, swearing
saying that's what i was afraid of the system gives you just enough to make you think that you see change
they will sing you right to sleep and then they'll screw you just the same
but i will wait, yes i'll wait for the truth

It’s a fitting “emoji” for the pattern haha. I did the grid and then was one off for my shrugging guy so just tried to erase it all with mixed effect

“The wise woman does what she knows / If it’s fighting, she fights. If it’s sewing, she sews.” I’m doing what I *don’t* know how to do. I’m learnedning. Ignore the erased pencil lines. I misunderstood what gridding meant 🫠 and they didn’t keep me on track anyway #steotchalong Pattern 1 done!

Saw “Murder for Two” last night. So dang good! (said like a 50yo Southern lady) I thought it was a 2 person comedy (it is); didn’t know it was a musical. Uh oh. 2 people but not “Last 5”? Random breakout into song before “needed”? Uh oh. But it was SO SO SO funny. Gags got funnier every time.

Finished Book 5 of DCC and went out and looked at the eclipse. I’m the 12th person waiting for the one copy of Book 6 owned in Libby by the Phoenix library system. Guess I’m just buying the whole series before it’s done. Lord help me if they change the cover art midway.

“It’s not 2020. You can’t call people racist” is such a little whiny baby thing to say. Even if someone wasn’t horrified by the idea of the fake discipline, who would think this person is qualified to lead anything?

The spring will have options to follow up on the 100 and 200-level courses. And new 300- and 400-level courses, one of which will probably be traditional mediumship and one of which will probably be energy work and healing. (Reading the River of Time is ancestral, past life, and inner child of that)
