iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

My friend asked me if I wanted to hang out last night. It was about 9 pm and normally I’d be up for it. But when he called, I discovered that I had a condition that prevented me from leaving—CatsOnMyLap. COML is difficult to beat. I was unable to do so last night. I’m up and moving around now.

1/ The people trying to exhaust you would love for you to believe that resting means surrendering. It does not. A movement becomes dangerous to authoritarian power when people can step back, recover and return without the work collapsing. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Mentor said I am Doing all the right things. But am I Feeling all the right things? Optimistic? Creative? Open-minded? Not jaded? I adjusted, and the music flowed. It was already there. The mind was blocked by cynicism. It’s all vibrations, literally and figuratively. You’ve got to Feel It.

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

Mathematician. Coffee Delivery Man arrives and as I stretched out to receive the Elixir of Life, he pulls back and says, Something something something something. What? Yes, it IS chilly, isn’t it. GAH! My good man! Hand over the Goods THEN make the mouth sounds. Order of operations matter.

I am working stuff out, and so meditation is the way. #Detroit #Pianists #Peace

A Black crocheted doll sits atop a tablecloth adorned with peace symbols. Behind her is a black glitter candlestick in the shape of a scowling cat. On top of the candlestick is a lit candle. In the foreground is a lit pillar candle.

My meditation brings all the cats to the yard.

My mother is a Bullsh*t Detector. When I realized how 100% accurate she is, I began introducing her to everyone I met. 🔥 She never liked a very good, 30+ year friend of mine. Not really. I thought she’d made her only single error ever. Then today happened. Y’all. She was right the whole time.

#Blacksky Fix your crown. Breathe in deeply. Hold. Release slowly. Turn the corners of your mouth upward. Lift your heart to the sun. Reflect upon your thousands-years lineage. We—We—are grateful for your presence.

@pettypicasso.bsky.social is one of my favorite socials because sometimes Petty is Perfect ™️ ©️ ®️ Petty Wednesday at the Work Day topic: Did ya vote? Cuz I did. Do you see this? I did. See? I did. See? I’m going to be unpleasant today but in a way that makes me not wrong but really annoying.

It’s my birthday month, and so of course I am going to my job (a very casual, shorts/tank top wearing job) in my gold, vintage, floor length gown with leather jacket for balance. I have boarded the Mercedes Benz commuter bus. Yes, it’s gonna be that type of month. #Blacksky #TechSis #Pianist

Im dressed in a glittery gold ball gown with a leather jacket and Foster Grant readers, seated and smiling in what is clearly a luxury bus.

The mind sometimes tries to get you. Don’t fall for it: I have not touched my piano in a couple of days, and so this morning I ran through some songs to make sure *deep sigh * that I still remember how to play the piano. It’s so silly. But so many of us have that thought. Don’t fall for it.

We know about copyright, but did you know there is a copyleft? It’s true— A publication that has a copyleft symbol indicates you’re free to modify, copy, and redistribute it. It is not a legal designation; it’s mostly informal. #Copyright #Detroit

The copyright symbol but the c is backwards.

I’m overdue for a trip to the record store.

My friend's mom wanted to get a birthday cake for America, but she couldn't find anything good at Walmart, so she went to Rancho Market and got a cake that said "¡Feliz cumpleaños!" and I've never heard of anything more American than that. Happy 250, America.

Your annual reminder: Residency begins on July 1st. That means when you blow your fingers off with your July 4th fireworks, the first doctor taking care of you has been a doctor for exactly four days. Plan accordingly.
