Baffling.
Baffling.
SSRIβs have kept me alive for 36 years. Without them my brain will tell me that Iβm a burden to everyone I know, and the world at large would be much better off without me and Iβll end it. POOF.
It hasnβt even been a month.
I think Iβm finally having my midlife crises. Iβm 55. I hope this doesnβt mean Iβm going to live to 110.
βMoronβ and βshitshowβ are two words Iβve been using a lot more than normal the last couple of weeks.
I highly recommend reading Octavia Butler this month - start with Parable of the Sower because it will be frighteningly familiar.
Itβs finally February.
My elderly dog doesnβt seem to be feeling well.
January was a really long decade.
Ok I have some good news. My sister - Jules Sherman - won this award for product design. www.cooperhewitt.org/national-des... She makes life changing stuff. Iβm super proud of her!
Now tell me some good news.
Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it.
It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

Hi - Iβd like to be more active on this platform but canβt find my people. Do they have to be added one by one? Can they be imported from a different platform?
Enough rain has fallen for my beach yoga class to be cancelled.
Seems awful windy for a blimp trip.
Pasadena Humane has seen an influx of over 300 animals due to the fires. People lined up down the block to drop off beloved pets they could not take with them when they fled their homes. Some animals arrived with burns and injuries and are being treated. Donations and fosters are needed NOW.
This list of resources is continually updated. You can find the list here:

For SoCal friends,
Here is a list of resources for shelter, animal boarding, free items, and distribution hubs. These places can also use donations (e.g., food, water, masks, and blankets). Please consider donating if you can.

Happy new year. I started the year by catching and releasing a mouse. Happy to report that the information I received stating that this action is illegal was WRONG and I enter 2025 a law abiding citizen.
My college kid got sick and ended up in hospital so I flew to Portland to take care of her. Nothing like driving around an unfamiliar city at night in an unfamiliar rental car, navigating an unfamiliar hospital. But thatβs all done now and sheβs discharged and safe with me at an unfamiliar hotel.
My potter pals are starting to worry about tariffs on raw ingredients for glazes and such. Predicting higher prices and limited material. So thatβs fun.
Generated images are looking so real. A client generated a βlogoβ for me to replicate but itβs an impossibility. A mom posted on a fb group that she is worried about her son who is having conversations with an ai βbotββ¦. Itβs too much. I thought HER was silly when it came out but now itβs real.
AI is beginning to frighten me.
Iβm just out here trying to exist.
Here ya go!
Second person to recommend this movie today.
Hey there. Looks like I joined up a while ago but never really used this space. Nice to see you.
