It's a complicated continuing story. Grab a coffee and we'll ignore all that.

Do what you can do.

I don't mean what you think you should do, not what someone else thinks you should do, not what you want to do, not what someone else thinks you want to do.

Do what YOU can do.
Afterward, loving someone is not the same when they abandon you.

I have two hours of free time. And I'm not going to be productive at all.

The shame and guilt attached to that statement are profound. That's something to deal with... But not right now. I have two hours to not do something.

Having perogies frozen and ready to boil is pretty much my favorite move today

This bog is thick and easy to get lost in I say as I leave them lost in the bog and go home.

the argument against Mamdani attending the 9/11 anniversary, as far as I can tell, is literally just that he’s Muslim, and reposting it is just reporting rank racism

Sometimes it's just all too much, isn't it?

So, today I will draw within. There is comfort inside, and boundaries.

Every single second, the world hands $6,000 to the fossil fuel industry in subsidies.

That’s $5 TRILLION every year.

Renewables? Barely a fraction of that.

We are literally paying to cook our own planet.

When does this madness stop? 🌍💸

Day 43.
I failed. I have been on Facebook. It's not the same draw and I do not feel the need to go there every day anymore.

So tomorrow will be day one again.

me: what if we tried just not worrying about it?

my brain: first of all that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard

I need to learn to conserve my energy. To exersize regularly. To breathe in the woods more often. To eat what nourishes.

These are my tasks.

Death stalks me at night.
When my dreams become quiet,
Nightmares wake me.

Sunshine and wind
Earth and waves

These will sustain me

One of the quiet bright moments of lockdown was Sam Neill serenading us on the ukulele. This type of tenderness feels rare nowadays, how lucky we were. Thank you for everything. ❤️❤️❤️

Just do the bloody right thing for ALL humans, ya know?

I thought my Wh40k Harlequin were not going to survive their battle with the Kroot.

They survived and I have a vast deal of respect for my Shadowseer at this moment.

Day 16:
Every now and then I reach for my phone to go on Facebook but not as often as I used to. Still miss all the jokes there though.

Appearance and reality are not often the same

It seems to me that if we make sure the weakest and most vulnerable of us all are cared for in our world, then we would all be cared for in the world.

Why don't we do it that way, instead of letting a few keep everyone else from having enough.

Day 3:
Oh, it's been tempting a few times to reinstall it. I have not. A real test is tonight when I'm on my laptop. I'm aware. This might be an addiction.

Day two: I feel lonely and I know it's because I'm not scrolling on Facebook.

I have started reading a new book, though
June 25, 2026 at 12:34 AM
I took the plunge last night. I have deleted Facebook from my phone. If I need social media I will be here.
Day one:
Picked up my phone many times today to plug into it. Habit? Addiction?

Mostly I meant what I did today.
