A PBS News tweet explains how two laid-off USAID employees created a website to match donors with canceled programs, keeping nearly 80 projects running in 30 countries. Below the text is an image of two people—Caitlin Tulloch and Rob Rosenbaum—appearing in a split-screen video interview, each seated in their respective rooms.

Meet two heroes of our times.

The last dark morning for awhile. As much as I hate daylight savings, and darkness at 5pm, I will savor this earlier morning brightness.

Timeline cleanse! Post a beautiful or adorable thing, please

He is living the dream! How far did he go?

Rain, finally.

Because I didn't set stitch length correctly, I now have an un-rippable facing on my lurid red dress. Also, is the martini for me, or for The Raven? Janome says it's self-lubricating, but a drop wouldn't hurt, would it? Sharing is caring...

It was a tough day indeed, following having to field some political wank, and a little scuffle with a needy friend who gaslit me...I'm getting better with some nature, wine, and magickal support, but ugh. More tacos, maybe.

A day of subbing that made my whole body, mind, and spirit itch, and a dive into news and social media, plus too much wine in an attempt to cure what ails me, and even tacos didn't work their magic. Taking the next week off. You will see me here and not there.

Chicago Supermarket only serves posole on Sundays, and I am there for it. And will be, ongoing.

I've only finished 2, unless you count weaving. Dishtowels add up!

Why You Should Soak Beans in a Salt and Baking Soda Brine Before Cooking Soaking beans in a solution of salt and baking soda yields creamy, cooked beans in less time.

My favorite uncle passed peacefully in the night. RIP and fly high, uncle Sherrill. Hail the Traveller. You will be missed.

I couldn't either. I was driving all day from the coast. I'm sad, but I feel there will be other opportunities.

Taking a social media break.

A week with my mother and sis at this most beautiful place.

For sure it's the Cheddar Bay. Close second is the Texas Roadhouse, but that's the cinnamon butter talking.

Why I'm calling for an investigation into the Trump Administration "Revenge Orders" have no place in America.

Chilling. I know I don't have a lot of followers, but if you see this, please share!

Do you see her? Eating the hostas? When she should be taking out the overgrown begonias. Again,🦌 in this neighborhood just can't stay in their lane. And a certain dog is asleep on the couch, oblivious...

More deadfall in the front yard, after a week of steady rain, punctuated by massive storms. I need me some sunshine.

I got the call last month, but was released. Again.

My sister uses that expression all the time.

This sock is knitting itself. I'm in love with the color way, and how well it's behaving. Not exactly a stripe, but color distribution isn't garish.

"Human knowledge, Hawthorne understood, must be carefully tended. It must be protected from those eels and mud-turtles of the world."

Julia, Ray, and I hiked to the 2nd highest waterfall in Virginia last week. It was the most glorious forest bathing I have done this year. Maybe ever. Somehow, we didn't manage a group selfie, in spite of not having been together since 1986.
