Definitely not alone. 💙 💙 🫂

Thank you!! Fuck yeah!!!

Truly hope you get to feeling better soon 💙

Finished The Lost Bookshop for one of my book groups. It could have been great, but I never warmed up to anyone. Now, reading The Nightingale, by Kristin Hannah, for the other book group. So far, I'm not loving it either. I think it's all rather triggering, sensing implications of current events.

Earlier today my Instagram account sent messages on the "meta" messenger app to random people, consisting of a bluesky account that I don't follow and have now blocked. It may have been a link to a post they put up here. I don't know how the people were chosen and I don't know what caused it.

Grrrr

🤞 💯 🫂

I just read that you can dry clean your woolies by laying them out in the snow. Bonus for doing this on St. Brigids Eve - she will bless a scarf for you

Goliath sending sweet dreams to you. He was out! It's quite cold here and he found the warm spot where I had been reading in bed 💙💙

Videos like this, with their clever subversion of the new censorship... just ..I just really love her and people like her.

Dancing, Queen! I'm so happy and relieved to hear this (and I really needed to hear happy news in general, too)

I don't know the best way. I hear you, I'm here with you, here for you if needed.

It's obviously good that citizens with smartphones can create multiple records of these shootings and undercut propaganda and government lies about them. But I find it a little deranging that being an informed news consumer in 2026 requires watching what are essentially snuff videos in slow-mo.

We all must now hold the light and become candles and lights in the cold, dark night for one another and ourselves. We will become bright enough to light the way to better.

Absolutely

Oh! I thought you meant another government shutdown, which is something I haven't been able to grasp. Thank you so much 💙

Why does this trigger a shutdown? I guess I really don't understand how it works. Or doesn't work.

I did not know that. I don't listen to him. I never will, now.

Awful awful awful. I shut off the video immediately and I won't be watching any. Glad there is video for the historical record though.

Hugs, and I hope it's not as bad as expected.

Oh fuck

Congratulations, Dr. Ruane!

Book cover is blue with yellow type. Becoming Altar, New and Selected Poems by Kyla Houbolt.

Daily Riffs in the limited realm of the candle there are few choices, and who makes them? burn, melt, drip, or don't. I woke just as it started to rain so listened to that for a little while. exactitude sits on the day like a thick heavy hat, one that's a size too large and keeps falling down to cover the eyes. oh season! how long are you going to be? the game board is getting dusty but does anyone care? no. let's go outside. it's raining or isn't. animals are waking up. a bird has something to say.

#Poetryhelps. If you are wanting some soul nourishment to support your travels during this rough and perilous time, may I offer my poetry. It helps! A signed copy of *Becoming Altar* for just the cover price, I pay shipping. Send DM if interested. And, stay groovy. 📚 🎶 💞
