We’ve been unable to put away the box from our new wreath because it’s someone’s favorite new place to perch.

i must not get takeout. takeout is the wallet-killer. takeout is the little death that brings total obliteration. i will face the kitchen, fridge, and pantry. i will make choices about what to cook and then execute them. when hunger is gone, there will be nothing, only i will remain
True story — As a small child, I lived in the Bridgewater Triangle, but as my parents tired of the winters, we moved to the Bermuda Triangle. Now, I am in my favorite region with my family, the Appalachian Mountains.
Even though I don’t condone ai theft, *every use* of the internet costs water.
Every hour of 4k video you watch uses 10-20 liters of water. It doesn’t matter what service.
Browsing Instagram or Facebook is 2-4 liters per hour. Much more for streaming video again like tiktok or reels.

For me, it was another reason to ditch all social media except bluesky, discord, and my online blog. Meta, Twitter and tiktok just is a time and resource thief with very little return on my investment.
Me, personally, it was burning hours per day, and all it did was make me angry or sad. Places like here make me mostly happy, and that is worth it.

Daily doodle. I don’t know why I prefer my lake creatures to have giant eye(s), but I do.

I learned from my Icelandic friend this morning that the “war” in warlock is unrelated to the word “war,” but that it means “pledge” or “oath.” So a warlock is an oath-lock, or oath-bound. But also, this old Germanic word, *waera*, which is the source for both, became negative in English, connected to heathenry, while in modern Icelandic, *væra* means “innocent” or “cuddly,” so “cuddle-lock” or, as he put it, “the Snugglebound.”
Happy One Month Anniversary to this story.

Come on Democrats.
The Secretary of Defense was drunk texting plans of a highly classified military operation.
Get on tv. Call it treason.
Demand a criminal investigation. Call for resignations. And when they cover it up, Call for the public to support impeachment.
This is a slam dunk
3 years ago today, Pearl first visited with us as catsitters.
It was a setup! We adopted her less than a week later.
