Rex Harrison as Abraham Lincoln

You didn’t have to share that.

… in the end I am v happy with how things are. I now have functional vision at all distances, can legally drive w/o glasses, can go for a run w/o them. I might be able to dig out the brand name if you’re really curious.

Oof, I don’t remember off the top of my head — it was almost four years ago. I wanted multifocal with the best being at distance. It turns out “distance” means different things to archers (me) and eye surgeons. I didn’t end up with the vision I thought I would BUT…

Felt fern and ginko leaf

Made felt flowers today for a piece that will be part of @mohaiseattle.bsky.social ‘s Day of Remembrance display in Feb. The workshop was a good balance of an interesting talk about local history, and playing with glue guns.

If Frankie Were in Hollywood

Yeah, my UU church doesn’t feel Gender 101 to me.

I know this isn’t the point, but WTF is Hegseth wearing?
