Cream colored substance floating in a small amount of water in a glass jar with a black lid sitting on a black, round heater base, covered in a cylindrical dome.

Tis the season for sourdough starter to be revived. Reconstituted from a local baker nestled in my Goldie from Sourhouse. It may look like overkill or bougie but my house lives at 67 degrees. #sourdough #sourhouse #fallvibes #fermentation

"Jack is 30, a barrister's clerk, newly engaged to Chloe and has taken part in research at UCL to turn his diagnosis into a positive."
"But he'd always known he was destined to share his father's fate, until today."

Wow.

Some advice: “finishing creative projects is a skill in and of itself. if you want to be able to finish large, complex projects, you have to _practice finishing things_. which usually means doing smaller projects.” [bsky.app]

I wondered how long it would take before I saw this insight somewhere.

Nixon's resignation letter.

Fifty-one years ago today.

Your saison description in the 1st edition of the “Beer Bible” is what I strive to emulate in my writing. Wowza.

Ooo that can be repaired! I would patch it with something that doesn’t blend in but with something that is decorative and stands out 🥰

I came to say that it is ok. It is ok to wallow. It is ok to not pull yourself together. It is ok to feel. Sometimes someone outside our own brain needs to tell us it is simply ok to just be. Just remember to brush your teeth and wash your face, oh, and eat something semi healthy. Then take a nap.

Trust me when I say there are a lot of us who know it isn’t just will power or a failure. We need patients who are willing to put in the work, have a health system that looks at the entire person, and the money to do all of the above.

Until we have universal healthcare, drug price control and a medical system which is built to support the basics (mental health, nutrition, movement, sleep and substance use disorders) tossing needles at every patient who needs help, myself included, is not sustainable. Period.

At this point we do no know the long term side effects of being on this for years. I’m also seeing the horrible side effects and hospitalizations which occur due to the medications. We are also giving people false hope—-here, lose all this weight until you can’t pay $30-45 per day out of pocket.

As both a provider (I’m a nurse practitioner) and someone who has struggled with their weight for years, I am excited for the breakthroughs in medication—-BUT—-the utilization of these meds needs to be done while treating all the reasons someone carries extra weight which is NOT happening.

Hey it’s both #WorldMusicDay and #Caturday today! 🎶🐱

Same. All day long I worked in the house monitoring my steps because……. #ouraring #applewatch

Orange, fat, short hair, tabby, cat laying on his side with his leg spread out at the feet of a woman with tattooed legs. There’s a basket of Petunia’s sitting on a chair near the cat.

Agree, butterscotch and white calico stretched out on pavers taking a nap

Happy, beastly hot, #caturday. These two are enjoying the evening breeze.

The text of the poem “Hope” is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all - And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard - And sore must be the storm - That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm - I’ve heard it in the chillest land - And on the strangest Sea - Yet - never - in Extremity, It asked a crumb - of me.

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all. /Fin

Yellow yard sign with the word, strawberries and capital letters in the color red. The sign is bent over in the wind.

Backseat of a Subaru Impreza with two flat full of strawberries laid and to end totaling 8 quarts.

A white tea towel with red stripes, covered in freshly hulled, bright red strawberries.

I mad dash to my farmers’ market in close to a panic because it is strawberry season and I still think it is mid May. I picked up the best Michigan strawberries I’ve ever had. #puremichigan #strawberry #preservingtheharvest #freezer

I can’t believe how difficult it is to let go of projects. I have one that I recently straight up stopped after two forced starts and stops. Called my sister who gave me permission to let go.

Mine was over 10 years, probably closer to 15. 😵‍💫

Mine doubles as an office. I recently realized it morphed into a deeply dusty shrine to things past and was no longer a place that brought joy or encouraged creativity.

I’m curious—when was the last time you cleaned out your craft/sewing room or space? I am referring to a deep, go through every nook cranny, pattern and drawer?

White cabinet boards, screws and casters in pieces before assembly on grey carpet.

We are gonna feel this under, “it was a good idea at the time.”

I love this question so much. I consider myself a curious, aspiring polymath. It is how I flipped my zillions of interest and feeling fickle into a well rounded super power so to speak.

I knit, quilt, read, SCUBA dive, write for the beer/spirits/food industry, cook/can/ferment things….

This sent me down a rabbit hole, dammit!!!! 😬🤓🤓😂😂😂 I just ordered a copy, thank you! ♥️

I’m ALL about this!!!! Hahahahaha

This is super cool! Where was this?

I 100% agree about the support. It was a Screening. They are always nerve wracking for me—I usually need follow up ultrasounds. My mom died from Breast cancer a few years ago.
