When I was a little kid I saw Smokey Bear’s PSAs on TV & I didn’t know what prevent meant. But I knew forest fires were bad. So clearly he was saying that I, Sarah, was the only one who could start one. But of course I would never. But I wondered how everyone else would know I was in charge.

LeBron James and I are the same age and with him it’s like β€œWhen will he retire?” and for everyone else who graduated high school our year it’s like: β€œWe will never be able to retire.”

Y’all, I’m selling it to buy a clarinet to replace the one I wish I hadn’t sold so I can play in my local rainbow pride band.

If you’re in Charleston, go get any sandwich from Food In Town on the East End and you will not be disappointed.

The new copier at work is awful. Just awful! Its name is Mr. Lumbergh, that’s how awful.

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence.

A guitar laying on a beige patterned rug, view from above - fender telecaster in sunburst with warm wood tones in the center and getting darker as it gets closer to the edges, where it almost looks black. White pick guard and silver hardware.

I bought this guitar with my own money when I was like 15… feeling a little sentimental about saying goodbye to it

I missed my last two singing practices (are we a choir? A chorus? I don’t know) due to depression and bad weather and I’m really excited to get back to it tonight

John Hammond died today. He very graciously gave me his autograph after a performance at a blues festival in Roanoke one spring. This video about him is absolutely fantastic.

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

What a DAY, right? I desperately wish my work stories weren’t confidential.

if a state (e.g. kansas) is denying people human rights, don't glibly tell them to leave the state, or the country. it is incredibly difficult to leave everything you knew behind because some piece of shit politicians decided you aren't human. everyone deserves equal rights, and you're annoying btw

In case you have been awaiting my decision, I moved to the smaller office with the window! The campaign to move the built in table holding the fax machine was denied however.

It’s all part of their campaign to criminalize homelessness.

The empty Valentine’s Day chocolate box on the counter keeps tricking me and yet I keep not throwing it away.

My boss dictated a scathing letter to me during the last half hour of work and I am so excited for tomorrow when we send it

My depression was really bad yesterday and my bosses could tell something was off. I must have spooked them, one just told me this work product is β€œbrilliant.” I am literally just putting data in a spreadsheet πŸ˜†

Closeup of a patchwork quilt, draped with folds in the fabric, made up of randomly placed squares of different colors and patterns. It’s bright and cheerful with some floral prints.

Cozy under the first quilt I ever made. 20+ years ago, dang

And it’s submitted! Wish me luck with the selection.

I loved this design by @gawrjuhs.com: his elegant merging of the progress flag with the classic 8-pointed star. I drafted FPP diamonds, then used straight-line quilting to extend the colours into the background and enhance the sense of motion.
