I will not die an unlived life.
I will not live in fear
of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,

I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me,

to make me less afraid,
more accessible,
to loosen my heart
until it becomes a wing,
a torch,a promise.
I choose to risk my significance,
to live so that which came to me as seed
goes to the next as blossom
and that which came to me as blossom,
goes on as fruit.

to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch,a promise. I choose to risk my significance, to live so that which came to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which came to me as blossom, goes on as fruit.

(It's "I Will Not Die an Unlived Life" by Dawna Markova.)

All the covers of the books I read last year. There are 71 of them, so I'm not going to list them all out

'On the Record' signs off with reminisces and thanks After more than nine years, On the Record signs off. Thank you to our listeners, and to everyone who trusted us with your ideas, stories and to amplify the work you do for Maryland, and for Baltimore.

This time last year, I envisioned doing an end of year retrospective on my first year as co-host of On The Record. Sadly, the show was canceled in October (and I was let go). But we broadcast some great stories! And I want to look back at some of them!

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu." 

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. ๐Ÿงต

Seeing the new generation of fiber arts practitioners struggling with the suddenly-back-in-style chenille...

IT WAS ALWAYS LIKE THAT!!! CHENILLE IS A LIE!!!! So soft, so sumptuous, so velvety-- on the skein. In practice, it's a shedding nightmare that makes Labradors look like Sphinx cats.

reposted this today because the inverse is also true:

if you abandon trans people right now, you are abandoning civil rights period.

if you can't stand up for trans people when it matters, no one should, or will, ever trust you when the bullseye moves to the next target.

Two right shoes, but with the same swirl pattern in black, tan, and two slightly different  browns. The one on the left is obviously older and worn, the one on the right is new.

Grabbed these and stuffed them in my bag on the way to the train this morning, intending to wear them at work today. Sigh.

Ever since summer started, the kittens have been complaining that they're arctic creatures and I do not have the a/c low enough. Today I baked bread, so naturally they felt the need to lay in front of the 475 degree oven

Helpsy offers responsible clothing recycling in Maryland People buy a lot of clothes, then trash a lot of what they buy. What can a responsible consumer do with unwanted wear?

Have a closet full of clothes you don't wear anymore? Helpsy finds the next best use for used (or unused) textiles! BUT NOT IF THOSE CLOTHES ARE WET!
The company's in partnership with Baltimore City and Baltimore County. Useful if you've, say, got a bunch of suits you'll never wear again! ๐Ÿคฃ
