Lake effect snow warning for my area from tomorrow evening into Saturday. If you know, you know. 🥶❄️❄️❄️ (Sucks to spend five minutes scrolling through emojis to find the snowflake. Also sucks to live in a place where findable weather emojis is an urgent need. 😂)

As I finish up THE DARK PATTERN by Palazzo and Hoffrage, one thing that will stick with me is their idea about goal setting. Specifically, that organizations (and I would argue, individuals) show better results when they focus on learning goals rather than outcome goals.

Change “obsolete cables” to truly mind-boggling quantities of yarn, and … well, it’s not NOT true.
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Some of the books I’m choosing from this weekend. THE DARK PATTERN is an interesting study of patterns in corporate scandals (attention @aliascelli.bsky.social!). ASSYRIA is a good end-of-day book. Informative and well-written, but not the type to keep me reading past my bedtime.

If someone knits or crochets you a blanket or sweater, they want to keep you warm AND they dedicated many hours of their lives to making it for you.
There's no profit in fiber arts, not when you can get a machine made at Target for 30 bucks. So know fiber artists making for you? Is an act of love.

Lest you think I’m only about my own chapbook at the moment, I’m currently reading Agustina Bazterrica’s THE UNWORTHY and Samuel Marquis’s bio of his ancestor Captain Kidd.
The Bazterrica is disturbing—so far, in a good way—and I can tell I’ll be thinking about it for a long time.
