After ten years away, everything had changed. Wisma was now a wasteland of flat fields, shuttered strip malls, and forgotten family restaurants.

The house itself felt warm, lived-in, full of framed family photos and the smell of something always baking in the oven. It was the opposite of my house, where I felt like a guest who’d overstayed my welcome instead of a son.

Instead, I stared into the little flame between us. It guttered, then steadied, as if reminding me that fragile light could still hold back the dark—at least for a while.

A braid of spinning fiber from @intothewhirled yarn in the color “Unobtainium” which is green, purple, and blue. The blend is 70/15/15 Merino/Yak/Silk

I don’t know what it is about fall that makes me want to spin yarn, but I’ll take it. Next up: this delicious blend from @intothewhirled.bsky.social

I don’t understand the arguments for keeping standard time over the winter. They say it’s not great for the zone edges. So why not shift the zones? We are used to shifting time 2x a year. Shift the problematic zone areas and stay in daylight savings time.

Today I made yarn. Still needs a good wash. #yarn #handspun

Hey, I hear it’s #NationalCatDay

We spent the next hour in the costume room digging through moth-eaten robes, plastic swords, and wigs that looked, and smelled, like someone had rescued them from a dumpster.

Setup at the Write the Docs Berlin venue is underway! We are so excited to see you all tomorrow in Berlin and online!

For me, I guess you could say vibes. My ideas often come from a feeling, a what if?, or a dream.

More than some lab with wires, computers, and data ports, this place came straight from our nightmares, complete with the faint electric scent that always followed me back into waking.

I caught sight of the sky, which had turned to twilight. A whirl of deep blues and bruised purples, dotted with constellations I didn’t recognize.

Rusty, an orange and white cat, lays half on his back with a paw resting on his face. He’s had it with this week, but it’s only Wednesday.

Wednesday vibes.

I think she felt trapped. Like no matter what she did—how high she rose, what awards she achieved—it wouldn’t be her success, it would be theirs.
