Happy Caturday 🐾🤍
A black cat with half-closed eyes and two tiny fangs holds a pencil against a textured yellow background. Above it, white handwritten text reads, “Be with someone who makes you happy.” The word “with” is crossed out, changing the message to “Be someone who makes you happy.”

I like how in the new version of zoom all the things I do regularly have been hidden in obscure places, and the easy to find things are things I will never willingly use. It’s a perfect storm of inconvenience and unusability.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

A cosy illustration of a fluffy black cat stretched out asleep on a wooden wall shelf, beside three books and a trailing potted plant. The background is a softly textured blend of muted green and warm golden tones. White handwritten text above reads: “It’s nice to leave a little room in the day for nothing in particular.”

Jeff Bezos and I are very different people. For one thing, he is a sociopathic billionaire who built his fortune by monopolizing bookselling while I am a penniless author of books. He was born in 1964 and is 62; I was born in 1971 and am 55.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The title for the first two panels is "Young Me".
In panel one we see a young version of Sarah, the protagonist. She says, "I want to achieve great things".
In panel two we zoom in a little on young Sarah's face. She continues, "An astounding career! An amazing house! World peace!"
The title for the last two panels is "Adult Me".
In panel three we see adult Sarah, looking down.
In panel four we zoom out and see she is in front of a basil plant. She simply says "I want to grow a basil plant".

You can tell we're a country of idiots by how easily we're convinced to debate the 1% of trans people who want the right to live their lives authentically and safely and don't negatively impact our lives instead of the billionaires who spend every day making our lives genuinely tangibly worse.

As folks gear up for the new semester, a reminder if anyone needs it, my Ai statement is available for people to make use of in their own materials. It’s downloadable and printable from my site here spinweaveandcut.com/fall-2025-sy...
a snippet of a mini-comic, at top - straight line stretches from point A to B. Immediately below, same dot at A, then becomes a curving, meandering line that winds through the page and ends at a point with rays and a question mark emanating from it. Text reads: "Nothing can do this for you - for that robs you of experience and conflates answers with learning. Rather, it's all the decisions you make along the way, the mistakes, struggles, and surprises! These pathways you create - this is learning.

I'm not engaging any more with non archaeologists who refuse to cite a *single* study that shows widespread evidence for war and fascism/ authoritarian rule in the ca 400,000 ish years pre agricultural revolution and millions of years before... b/c they don't exist. 0 evidence. We were peaceful.

There is no comparison for how fast Trump has destructed government and wrecked the nation. But he’s also more unpopular than he ever has been — and that should encourage us to continue resisting, speaking out, and voting.

We went on contract three days before school started, but had so many mandatory meetings that little could get done. Anyway, I have been ready before each class, but the copier was out of toner when I went to print my first class activity at 7:45 am — before staff comes to work. 😱
