As the days settle into their winter calm, it becomes easier to see what mattered, what didn’t, and what we want to make room for in the next chapter.

A misty forest path stretching straight into the fog, surrounded by tall pines and bare late-autumn trees. Soft light filters through the haze, giving the scene a quiet, dreamlike feel. Fallen leaves in warm browns and reds frame the trail, creating a tranquil forest scape perfect for ForestFriday.

I was going to say this isn’t normal… but with years of an ongoing pandemic, repeated infections, and the cognitive effects COVID can cause, it sadly doesn’t surprise me anymore. So many young people are struggling with memory and focus now, and nobody wants to join the dots.

Jess 🇨🇦 @MeetJess Watched my neighbor drive off this pm & about an hour later, I saw him come back by foot. I happened to be outside and so asked if he had an issue with the car. He looked at me and said « fuck, it’s still in the parking lot of the store. I forgot I drove there » 😵‍💫 He’s 32. 11:44 AM · Nov 27, 2025 · 55.5K Views

Why We Fear AI is my favorite AI critique now, and these two paragraphs sum up so much so well, many thanks to @hagenblix.bsky.social and Ingeborg Glimmer 🙏🏻
Excerpt from the book Why We Fear AI by Hagen Blix and Ingeborg Glimmer: “…it shows, though, is how much the thought of something more intelligent has struck real terror into professional hearts. But the terror is not actually about some natural language processing tech-nology, and it is not about machine learning. It is about having mistakenly believed the justification of ‘intelligence’ - and what the fears show is that everyone knows that capitalism marks out some people as legitimately disposable. Most people know that the meritocracy is at least a partial lie whenever we look up the social hierarchy. In the same way, when we look down far enough, we all know that capitalism violently spits people out, cuts them out of society, and marks them as no longer deserving of the status of real (i.e., profitably employable) human beings. We all know this fact because we see it on our streets, where we avert our eyes from people deprived of food, housing, healthcare, and dignity. The fear of artificial intelligence is the fear of that thinly veiled undercurrent of our justifications of social hierarchy, the ever-present if usually unspoken) possibility of marking some people as superfluous to society, because they are superfluous to capitalism. It is the tacit recognition that we live threatened lives, coupled with the desire to forget about that fact again. It is the repressed class consciousness of those who live from a wage, but despise the working class. It's the terrible certainty that, had things gone just a little bit differently, if one had gone to a different school or had a different parent, if some mentor hadn't noticed, or if a family member had fallen ill-any of us could have been where our unhoused neighbor is. For the sake of functioning, those of the middle class must forget these facts: they can shut their eyes, but they shouldn't be surprised when they see the truth still behind closed lids, haunting their dreams and nightmares.”

No movement yesterday.

We're still at $883.12/2000 and needed to reach $1000 by the 20th to pay bills- despite all the help we're falling behind.

If we don't reach November's goal of $2k December will be impossible.

Please help. We're just trying to stay afloat until we can make up lost income.

I've put it off too long

In three days we won't have money for heating fuel, feed, or groceries. We're basically fucked. I need a goal of $2000 by the end of November, about $500 of that needs to be immediate, and we've never made a goal before.

Please help.

The river carves the land. Collects its gossip, hears all its spirited stories. Blends them into its own song. Witches listen to this fluid singing of place, gathers omens as they float by. She runs with the river and absorbs its wisdom. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

USA: Map of 9 states where COVID-19 cases are climbing before Thanksgiving travel.

As of Nov. 18 — COVID-19 cases surging in these U.S. states:

1️⃣ Nebraska
2️⃣ Colorado
3️⃣ New Mexico
4️⃣ Oklahoma
5️⃣ Mississippi
6️⃣ Michigan
7️⃣ Pennsylvania
8️⃣ Indiana
9️⃣ West Virginia

A U.S. map titled “COVID-19 Trends, By State — As of November 18, 2025.” The states are color-coded to indicate growth trends in COVID-19 transmission: Dark red: COVID-19 is growing Orange: COVID-19 is likely to grow Gray/white: Not estimated or stable Blue: Declining or likely declining The map shows clusters of dark red states in the central and eastern U.S., including Nebraska, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and West Virginia. Several surrounding states in orange suggest likely increases. Coastal states like California and parts of the Northeast appear blue, indicating declining trends.

.. this year i feel as removed from the thanksgiving holiday as i do from the rest of the 'back to normal' world

out of curiosity i read up on its history & that just reinforced my attitude

i'm feeling a longing for some kind of celebration that's actually socially meaningful in a grounded way,,

Goodnight from the Kingsmere Estate, where even the local bootboys are now afraid of the dark given the latest Wish Blood shenanigans. Goodnight from Beckie Ealer, wishing she could remember the special word for divination by symbols spun into spiderwebs. Goodnight from Hookland.

Right, back home to my laptop with recent trip photos on it again.

Here's another view from that frosty morning at Stokksnes :)

#Iceland
Lovely rippled black sand dunes with a touch of frost on them. The edge of the dune leads the eye towards some orange grasses and then behind are lovely pointy mountains sticking up into the vaguely sunrisey sky.

How often do we forget about the simple things and we take them for granted, until they become background noise?

Everything can change in an instant. Gratitude keeps us awake to what matters…
