A snowy winter scene. Several large evergreen trees and a cabin-style building dot an otherwise smooth blanket of snow. Lightly snow covered hills rise in the background, with large patches of logged area shaved off the sides.
Woke up to ~1ft of snow in the corner of B.C. I call home. βοΈ
Pretty nice view if you don't mind the clearcuts in the background ...

This. Not having free, publicly accessible bathrooms in the downtown core of cities, and instead relying on the goodness of individual businesses to open their doors, is something I think about every time I go out.

Have you tried packing the night before, and then being so relaxed the next day that you leave late anyway? My ADHD loves that one

Read this dark, gripping work for the 1st time recently (pub. 1993, set in 2024!)
Did I love it? Yes.
Was it a terrifying time to read a dystopia about America descending into violence and extreme social inequality? Yes.
Will I be reading the sequel soon as I can get my hands on it? Also yes.

Considered giving up social media altogether (how peaceful life could be??), but jumped headfirst into a new platform instead. Let's be real, this is way more fun. Hello bluesky!
