Spent half an hour on the walking pad, scrolling through DJ mixes. Nice way to tire myself out before bed and think through creative projects.

The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.

Ironic to be packing for a short trip to a “warmer” part of the country only for Mother Nature to say “bet”.

With everything else that went on today, I chose stepping back a bit into my crafts. Nothing wrong with taking those moments as you need them.

I spent the afternoon perfecting the basketweave stitch in needlepoint. Whenever attempting a new fiber art, I like repeating an element until it becomes muscle memory. The complicated designs can come later as I find the relaxation in those small, simple movements.

Bouncing between #knitting/crochet and #needlepoint/crochet is a perfect balance for my hand muscles. I pop on my compression gloves and do exercises in between, but I really just love the #fiberarts in all of their complexities.

It’s a hope I have daily, but I truly want those suffering across the globe to receive the resources and happiness they deserve. Tragedies are constant and it starts to feel like no end is in sight. Do what you can, at any scale, and remember that’s still making a difference for at least one person.

It’s that favorite time of year where I glitch every time I write “2024” instead of “2025” for the next month or so…
