- Is anyone else having a really hard time with everything? I'm having a really hard time with *everything.* Some of it has to do with my cousin's passing. Some has to do with my dog's passing, and some has to do with all the fascism, of course. But it's also everything and nothing. I'm just full up.
- I'm sorry for your griefs. It's such a hard time, I keep being surprised - am I sad today? or fine?
- dear diary today I accidentally returned the wrong library book in the app because of my gigantic thumbs. I was only halfway through & it was so good & now I’m back on the blasted waiting list for 8 weeks. this is a demoralizing moment for us. technology is so small yet our thumbs are so voluptuous
- so many inadvertant fat finger moments
- Higgins was agitated before bedtime, possibly because of the fireworks or gunshots we heard. I wonder if we’ll break our streak of bad nights without enough sleep.

- Yesterday my youngest explained the difference between learning Organic Chemistry where every molecule must be accounted for and BioChemistry which deals with bags of living goo and doesn't mind if there's a stray hydrogen or not.
- A poem: blue silk corset
- as though there are any 'straight' violets
- Screw your favorite book, which was the first that upset you? A Wrinkle in Time was mine. The possessed baby scared the everloving shit out of me. My babysitter had to call my mom to come home early because I was hysterical.
- Charlotte's Web at 7, scared my parents when I couldn't stop crying.
- Drawing of a very cute fold ear cat up on hindlegs and looking surprised at 3 very cute little owls snuggle up. A 4th cute owl is running to join in.
- I swear that the rougher looking the med tech is, the better they are at drawing blood. The tall scraggly guy just did a painless draw on me. Last week's cuter younger nurse couldn't get blood out of either of my arms.

- Found in this metafilter thread fanfare.metafilter.com/25969/Sinners, so much good history, with emphasis on the roots of American music, in this article: www.contrabandcamp.com/p/primary-so...
- aw crap it's at substack. The article is a great braiding of facts I had heard in isolation but never brought together in this way.

- Whew and also that's early!
- I am shaken by this but it also...it seems like a logical extension of the gmail prompts that ask if you need help writing an email and as someone who has helped many, many people try to find the words to express themselves in writing it doesn't surprise me that the desire is there.

View full threadThis is not a defense of ChatGPT, which I loathe and think is a con that is speeding the destruction of the planet. It's only an example of how easily I can see people turning to it when they are caught in the gap between the thoughts in their head and the written word.
- writing is hard and vulnerable. Plus these features appear like new free options have appeared in the past. For the average user why wouldn't they try it out?

- Composting but the difficulty level is ABQ desert conditions. Who has wisdom for me? Last year I used a chicken wire bin lined with cardboard that I obviously didn't water enough because the result was a cylinder of carefully mummified vegetable scraps. Discouraging.
- I feel that this reads more depressed than I meant it to. I *chose* to stay in retail because this is where I’ve found decent working conditions, compatible with writing and having a life outside work.
- I have a little job and it suits me so well. I get to leave at the same time every day and not stress. Good to have work that allows the not-work life.
