A window to see what’s been happening, the barriers in place, and a bit of the “inside” political climate in Madison. We need a little extra push to let our Independent Police Monitor do the work they are intended for. We can be better. #Madison can be better.

#DTFStLouis was a wild ride, but felt like a full frontal confrontation with complex, tender male emotions. On one hand I’m tired of centering men, but on the other, those tender feelings need to be talked about more for men to heal from toxic masculinity. Anyway, great show and superb acting!

Just saw Citizen Kane for the first time (in theater) because it’s critically acclaimed as the best Hollywood film (felt obliged). I’ll be thinking about it for weeks, but my main takeaway is that it’s about the eternal struggle with male ego. Not to mention the technical groundbreaking it made.

Stylized portrait of Frederick Douglass with a quote:

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.

I checked my own settings and they had reverted to “no one can send you a message unless the chat is already there”. I updated my settings and wonder maybe if yours were also reset. As a second option I sent you a message in Insta!

Herbert the Herb garden is doing very well this year with a bunch of volunteers seeded from last year. Mixed in is some raw, dirty wool to keep the rodents away (it’s working). Rosemary, 3 types of basil, chives, dill, oregano, cilantro, and parsley. 💚

Last night I dreamed I was hanging out with a group of ladies at a restaurant. There was a VERY thin woman there and I thought, “oh I shouldn’t ask her what’s good here, it looks like she hasn’t had much experience tasting good things.” I was that thin when I was young and I certainly didn’t.

I’m reading my workplace’s set up guide for Claude Code. One of the first unqualified pieces of advice is to set it up in a VM. I assume the reasoning there is so Claude can’t access the files on my computer. So the first rec in starting to use this tool is to protect myself from this tool.

I think chiropractors are quacks, however once in a long while I pop this deep joint in my hips/back during yoga and I can hear angels singing the rest of the day. So I guess I can see their angle and how they getcha.

The most hilarious part of this is that the recall only affects 173 total vehicles, because that's all Tesla's sold of its rear wheel drive model.

I was awoken by an alert on my phone last night around midnight. Through my sleepy fog I thought it said “international threat” and I thought were were gonna be bombed. Then the tornado sirens started blaring. It took me a couple minutes to wake up enough to see “tornado warning” in the alert 🤦‍♀️

I usually think “well if I figured this out, anyone can” at work, but sometimes when I explain what I did to people they get so impressed and then I get embarrassed. I work with VERY intelligent people, so I’m 99% sure it’s just lack of bandwidth on their part. But also 😊😊😊😊

Balance. - made a logic breakthrough at work. - felt a whisker, went to the bathroom to pluck and couldn’t find it. Recalled the lighting isn’t the problem, I need my glasses to see them now. Went back to my office to retrieve the glasses that were on top of my head the whole time. Re-humbled.

While waking up early is still very difficult, after about 3 months of working out 3-4 times per week, my body still hums with pleasure the rest of the day on workout days. Haven’t really lost any weight, maybe 5 pounds tops, but my lungs and heart feel awesome. Still hate mornings, though.

Bought yarn for this project today that should be a lot of fun! I also noticed that I buy a lot of this specific yarn, so I bought a couple black and a couple white skeins to make impulse colorwork projects more accessible. Here is my next double knit project! www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

I ran into this with other yarn of mine and figured it was held in a shop a long time and had moth damage. Dunno for sure, but I agree, VERY frustrating. The yarn in my stash was Estilo Plymouth yarn 😖

I know other, smarter people put these pieces together before me, but since Epstein’s ring collapsed, Trump then used Andrew Tate, right, and that’s why the dude was pardoned and moved to Florida (a convenient location for Mar-a-lago). This whole thing is so rotten.
