Also a few years younger than Trump and never took one for my doctor. I took four (with additional challenges added) as part of a research study where they were looking, actually, for improvement over time. OK subtracting seven starting at 90 was slow, but I was never good at subtraction.

One mural costs 325 tote bag or t shirt sales. Or 283 advent calendars. Or 1625 stickers. I want to make more biodiversity murals in 2027…have you visited our shop lately? SquidFacts.net

For me and my arthritic feet, writing postcards, and letters to voters seems more useful than protesting in a town where just about everyone agrees with me.

It’s unfortunate that they weren’t this upset about kidnapping folks and sending them to countries they’ve never been to, but whatever makes them upset I suppose is a good thing.

Very good! I sometimes give the old landline that we got rid of years ago. But I suppose someone else might have that now so this is much better.

Great piece by Lisa Needham for Aaron Rupar’s Public Notice: Trump meme coin investors, including rich foreigners, have lost $3.81 billion but gained an opportunity to bribe the president of the United States. It’s mindblowingly corrupt.

Naively, I would have thought a 3x5 foot rug too small to fit two sofas onto but thank goodness AI knows better!
Overhead view of a yellow and white rug with two sofas and a coffee table on it. Text reads, 3x5 ft, great for small living rooms, bedrooms & accent areas

Two more boxes of books for Windham preschoolers via 1000 Books Before Kindergarten. One of my children was mocked for having books in her room, which is why I’m slicing posterboard into bookmarks for kids. Every kid needs books in their room. www.willimanticlibrary.org/friends-of-t... 
The back of a child’s book about feelings. The text is in English and Spanish on an orange background, explaining how the book inspires kids to embrace a wide range of moods. The book is on a stack of similar books in a cardboard carton. Each has a sticker that says “a gift from/un regalo de la Willimantic Public library” with the logo of 1000 books before kindergarten. Each book has a handmade bookmark with a sticker on the back, and not visible, the child’s name and classroom on the front.

“The polytechnic project was conceived in executive isolation and unveiled as a miraculous institutional upgrade. No one had asked for it, but that was apparently further proof of its visionary character. Shared governance, we were assured, would only slow the installation.”

So excited to see late blooms I forgot the ALT. Mea culpa. Small bright yellow flowers on long stems bloom in the middle of a patch of browning Joe Pie weed. Across a narrow path is a patch of dark pink sedum flowers and a large daisy mum getting ready to bloom. In back ia stand of eastern hemlock.

I was surprised by this patch of bright yellow-ox eye sunflowers finished blooming a few weeks ago. Then I remembered that visit to the @sarahmackattack.bsky.social shop in Fishtown and picking up swamp sunflowers. Or Fishtown sunflowers as I now call them.🌱 #nativeplants #flowers
