Friends who have traded in traditional front door locks for keypad locks, how are you liking them? And did you go with the version that has a back-up key lock? Or straight keypad lock? Thanks!

"I don’t really trust my voices, but I trust my body’s responses to the voices. When my body can make me go, “Oooooh!” I’m like, “Okay, bro, you found it.” Man, ain’t nothing like that feeling." @kiese.bsky.social

Well, it’s almost 3 weeks since the election. I am in a full Diet Coke relapse but I have not started smoking cigarettes again. Also bad sisters is so good.

I walked four hours today. Cried all over Boston and Cambridge. Saw some art as well as a modern dance performance. Lots of convos with terrified friends and neighbors, many of whom are planning on leaving Ohio.

Beautiful interview with @danquahrising.bsky.social. "Kindness is intentional and pure. It’s something that makes the giver, the one who is being kind, feel internally good because it’s a release, without expecting anything in return."

Gorgeous essay by Cindy Lamothe. "Before motherhood, I didn’t understand how chaos and calm could coexist within a person. I didn’t understand that the space I craved was more than physical—it was the room to become, to grow into something beyond myself."
