Spent the last 7 hours spinning and listening to @silviamg.bsky.social ‘s “The Bewitching”. Peeked back at this site and oh god oh no it’s still hell here. Back to the safety of my spinning wheel.

Well I opened up the social medias and oh god oh no everything is still awful. Closing them all and curling up with some horror reading/listening instead.

House to myself this weekend so now it’s time for my favorite tradition: ordering too much sushi and struggling to decide what to watch until I give up and just stay up too late rewatching a comfort show.

I’m taking a workshop this weekend and I’m so excited to learn things and so terrified of meeting new people. But this was one of my goals for 40, to find opportunities to make new friends. I feel like I need a pep talk from my nephew.

I needed this exactly now. It’s been a big, hard week that fueled some invaluable self-realizations that I’m looking forward to bringing to therapy, AND I needed this exactly now.

So you’re telling me the only reason I’m sleeping better and engaging in fun activities is because the stressful situation concluded?

What do you mean it was the overwhelming stress that made my brain stop wanting to work and killed my motivation and interest in usual hobbies?

One of the things that really brought a smile to my elderly mother-in-law was hearing what her visitor counts were to her quilting website. Now she's in hospice, so I'm going to try to drive some visitation numbers up quiltsbymarlene.com This is just a fraction of her 50 years of quilting.

The hill I will die on: Women say "like," "um," and "err," so frequently, because when there is the slightest pause in their speech, they are interrupted by men, and don't get the floor back to speak.🤷🏿‍♂️ So people that are frequently interrupted tend to use more verbal fillers. Let women speak.

I'm very lucky that @minimus.io considers the work I do for Kubernetes to be part of my job. That isn't true for most maintainers.

Listening to interviews with a bunch of tech policy people and apparently the term AI now means basically anything a computer does without close supervision by a human. Because AI is just a marketing term that tech companies say means whatever they want.

New ergonomic pillow means I’m sleeping better and waking with more energy. Which means I’m not falling into the “can’t get myself to take meds” trap. Which means I’m staying energized all day. Except now it’s 1:30am and I’m still wide awake knitting like it’s my job or something.

We recently went to an improv comedy show with a very clear “NO HECKLING” rule. One of the players exited a scene saying “I’m going to work on my macrame!” (Extra funny as he was an older dude) He returned mumbling “I dropped a stitch” Reader, I nearly got kicked out.

I’m no stranger to work-related stress nightmares, but the ones I was having last night were so incredibly chaotic that at no point did I believe I wasn’t in a dream. Which really took the bite out of the stress aspect. Now I feel like there’s nothing weirder this week can throw at me.

I thought about why I’ve been pushing back on stolen midterm fears. What’s the harm of worry, even if it doesn’t materialize? It’s this. The regime has less capacity than it’d like, and tries to make up the difference with bluster. If people act as if it’s true, that grants the regime more power.

Library workers are burned out, and they're clear on what's creating some of the worst mental health conditions both inside and outside the library. Here's what they had to say, as well as ways and means by which library worker mental health can be improved. This is a call to action.
