Perimenopause is fucking brutal. There's no other way to describe it. Just BRUTAL.

Saw this quote today. Between the Epstein files and the daily crimes and cruelty of the Trump administration, it feels like crucial advice to remember... "Protect your spirit, because you're in the place where spirits get eaten." -John Trudell

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence. "Does the dear sun not bathe, the moon not Dive into the sea, And breathing from its waves return Twice lovelier to see?"

This flu really, really sucks. Seriously, wear a mask in crowded places, wash your hands regularly, take D, C, Magnesium, and Zinc. Dance in a circle around 3 acorns or whatever but avoid it if at all possible.

Teen gave me his flu and I'd almost forgotten how it makes you hurt everywhere. Even my heels hurt.

I can't stop thinking of all the poets slain by tyranny. Today I hear the voice of Federico García Lorca, slain by fascists in 1936.
Lorca
                     after Neruda
                      
Because I was a poem, my country
hushed me.
They knelt me
on the cold stones of a roadway
and even when the guns had touched
my body,
I heard the birds, I heard my heart
be strong.

Listen. You have to go on
without me.
You know what my triumph was,
my victory?
I was open. I stayed
so wholly open
that I heard the birds and the gift
the Spring is singing.

They can kill the singers but they cannot kill the song.
They can kill the singers but they cannot kill the song.

Ah, perimenopause. When it's 18 degrees outside and you're sitting by an open window.

2025 was absolutely brutal. In between heartbreak and tears and stress I tried to find and capture moments of beauty in nature. When all else fails the seasons still change, the sun and moon still rise and set, and a new day follows the last. "Nature never did betray the heart that loved her." -WW

Welp, I just gave up on today and went back to bed. Day 7 of a wicked cold and I'm exhausted. Meanwhile, I can feel the Christmas noose tightening. IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR THO.

It's that time of year when people start posting photos and videos of themselves having fun killing deer in the woods. Nothing like a Facebook scroll & a guy dragging a dead deer to his car. I get it people eat them blah blah whatever. Can't wrap my head around the part where they say it's so "fun"

I made a rather tasty beef and root vegetable stew tonight, which I'm currently eating with a slice of rosemary cottage bread, a chunk of 5 year old Wisconsin cheddar, and a sharp pickle. All I'm missing is the freshly poured ale and ambiance of a British pub 🇬🇧

I need everyone who uses AI to generate art & text to notice what Vince Gilligan says here. You're surrendering your brain, your creativity, the divine spark within you to a machine. Someday you'll wake up and find you're no longer capable of writing or thinking. And for what?
["When your selling point is: 'This thing is great, it'll write your high school essays for you, it'll create your artwork for you if you're an artist, so you don't have to actually learn how to draw and paint anymore ... You don't ever need to learn how to read a map or use a compass ... this this will wipe your butt for you.' What's left to live for? The creative spark in human beings - it's one of the most precious, wonderful things we have. What is more important than being creative?'"]

I'm super annoyed with these messages in Gmail that give me "status updates" of things I've ordered. They constantly say "expected today" and yet none of those items are going to arrive today. 2025 is NOT the year to give casual false hope about ANYTHING.

Important to note that anytime you use ChatGpt or any AI that you are actively training their algorithms. Whenever you're tempted, just think about Terminator 2. It was not meant to be a documentary!!!
