    Spent my own #SolarPunkSunday prepping #sourdough to bake tomorrow. Also burned my first poured candle (thought it was 12 oz container, but it’s 14…oops).

    NEVER could have guessed, circa 2003, as I hurled language that would make a longshoreman blush at a #MapQuest printout of my drive through Salamanca, that I would be returning to the site (well, app now) in solidarity with my Canadian kin, but here we are. #elbowsup #LakeOntario

    Until the day I die in the #climate wars, I will not understand how we all saw a different way of life during the lockdown, the skies cleared up (not saying it was all good—a lot of people died), but then we collectively just decided to go back to “normal”….office hell, away from family, jetsetting, and now apparently #AI datacenters… ugh. I think about this every day.

    My one small contribution to #SolarpunkSunday I got for my birthday yesterday. Nice birdfeeding setup going back by the wildflowers… (will move that brush pile out of the way soon—keeping it to feed bugs, just moving).

    My miniature dire wolf symbiote was…impatient with my working out, so she lay a foot away and stared at me with those predator eyes. #dogsofmastodon
