Two of the NaNo 2.0 volunteers were featured on the Educator Forever podcast to talk about the Young Novelist Program. Lily, the host, started as a NaNoWriMo participant herself before bringing the writing challenge to her classroom. Her K-2 curriculum is still being used in the program today!

After they closed NaNoWriMo, I started chatting with some folks about keeping November’s writing adventure going in a more DIY form. Today, we launched a site! www.nano2.org. Sweaty origin story here: nano2.org/posts/2025/w... We’ll be noveling next month, and we’d love to have you join us!

On Memorial Day, we remember those who sacrificed their lives to defend our democratic values. As our democracy faces threats from both domestic and international adversaries, it is imperative that we honor our fallen heroes by taking action to protect our freedoms.

Oh my goodness... i found one in the wild (and it makes me sad). An AI crochet pattern on Etsy. Depressing. And also goodness that looks so fake. As a crocheter, that is not how the stitches look or work.

This place really needs a few privacy settings. I'd like to make a list, like I had on the musky site, of people I actually know in real life. But I need to be able to make that private, because randos don't need to know who I actually know.

Despite feeling better for the last couple of weeks, today took a sudden nosedive into the emotional. And IDK why, I just know it's part of the journey.

It'll be interesting if Judge Merchan sentences TFG to community service and the felon appeals on the grounds that he has no idea what that is.

Your Daily Affirmation: Today I pay respects to the Trickster.I acknowledge irony as the most powerful force in the universe and accept that while I may get what I want, may achieve my goals, it won't be without being fucked with more than somewhat.I expect things to get weird.

Your Daily Affirmation: Right now, in this moment, I'm okay. In this moment, I'm fine. And thus, deprived of nourishment from the past and the future, anxiety and regret wither away. Right NOW, in this moment, we are all just fine.

The media has been understandably focused on stories about wildly unqualified people taking over large swaths of the federal government. But how am I just now learning that COYOTES ARE SWIMMING TO ANGEL ISLAND? baynature.org/2024/11/19/c...

baynature.org

The Coyotes Arrived. Now, They’re Changing Angel Island. - Bay Nature

Years ago, a scientist proposed introducing coyotes to control the island’s deer population. Now, it seems coyotes have since swam over on their own.

Went to bed with a headache. Woke up at night from the headache. Got up and the headache is still there. On the plus side, I had a dream in which, to get rid of people's evil powers and intentions, you just had to tickle them sufficiently long and watch the evilness bar go down.
