Though we'd not work w/ clients, as ambassadors & being on prem, we'd to take DV sensitivity/awareness training. I recall that training when I see certain soc med parasocial dynamics in action

Bachelor tonight. Working late. 5mi hike complete. The emerging tulips have grown an inch since yesterday

Also... speed with which I abandon winter attire for shorts, a tank or tee, and flip flops scares me... celebrating with a new temp banner pic... me & others competing in a regatta

And this one goes out to my fellow fellows who wore their hair long and wore tight pants, sometimes leather, and were beckoned "Ma'am. Ma'am." by some random dude behind us, who was trying to get our attention for one reason or another.

Every time I read or hear the words 'Speaker Johnson,' I immediately recall the slang vulgarity for Johnson. Every time.

As I've said: While I know I'm not dim, I don't consider myself the brightest bulb; I remain a SIT IN THE BACK OF THE CLASSROOM type of student, reeking of cigarette smoke & ire

Lunch, soup—vegetable no less. I posted below skeet on Feb 3. Far larger boycotts will need to take place, unless of course the goal of celeb activists is only to remove A thorn and not to enact or grease rails for more permanent, meaningful change...while making a name for themselves, ofc.
Dear governments, businesses & consumers of Earth:

For days you've seen behaviors & approaches exhibited by a certain famous, wealthy tech CEO. You do you, obviously; however, you owe it to yourselves to reflect & decide if you really should continue or initiate any [business] dealings with him.

Kudos to crew & cast of THE SUNLIT NIGHT! We recently had access & watched. Neither my wife nor I had read the book; we didn't know what to expect. Meaning in short runtime—after recent cultural assaults by MCU films, w/ long runtimes & too often short on lasting, meaningful impact—was appreciated.

Yikes. Just found another author who is (was?) a member of a group that I once—while talking with a friend—referred to as the Gaiman Gang of Authors. I thought I'd blocked all of them.

Goodbye. I wish you all the best in your manipulation of 'kindness' into crass & insincere marketing messaging.

Editing the story referenced below. The entire thing—how the idea appeared as a 'save for later' and then life's circuitous paths impelled it brought forward—recurring, intermittent psychogenic shivers, for weeks now—galvanizing, inspiriting
really did enjoy crafting the short story (see below wip excerpt) that unexpectedly went from a cataloged story/scene idea, to a wip, to now an egg incubating away in a warming drawer until final edits and hatching

I cannot recall with precision and do not know if I first stated the following in '14, '15, or '16: Rory Kinnear's simple gesture & voiced "Yes" as The Creature in PENNY DREADFUL is, to me, one of the most humanistic affirming pieces of acting on screen or stage.

With my expanding some of the garden yet again, I may try to grow this tomato, too, if I can find seeds from a local outfit. Siblings should get a kick out of my paying homage to grandmother. A couple will anyway.

I just learned of a type of tomato plant I don't think I have ever heard of before and I'm now exhilarated at the thought of finding seeds and adding this varietal to a purple heirloom tomato and the San Marco plants I enjoy growing.

At gym. The very flirtatious & wicked hot single mom is here (and initiating) and I've been gardening all day and not prepared to engage/reciprocate and... nevermind... I got this.

I don't know if patience is always a virtue or not, but gardening offers constant reminders to not rush things, to move deliberately, at times slowly, to protect budding things, to nurture emergants.

Thankful that [name redacted] at [financial institution name redacted] sent us a giant box of gourmet cookies. Also thankful we have additional freezer space allowing us to keep them preserved. A cookie and a short glass of sweet tea in early March is a wonderful thing. Eggs are still out of reach.

The robins are making themselves seen, and so I decided to remove the top few inches from the large compost pile and allow the aves a chance to hunt worms.

Yesterday, we observed & celebrated International Women's Day (IWD) by reminiscing a past concert and attending a present-day concert.

Today is all about garden prep, including making room for chipmunks.

Prepping the garden today and planning for trips. I don't even care that I've lost an hour due to time change. Not with the voices of these two on the speakers. It is all groovy.
A UU sanctuary performs double duty & serves as a listening room for Green Guitar Folk House. What a place to wonder if angels exist, wonder if they wander here & attend to affairs of men and women. If they do, then they ascend again on path stones constructed from the voices of The Vogts Sisters ✌️🫶

Hello, open road. Why, yes. Yes, I will happily travel you. Welcome to the calendar, La Jolla & Del Mar. Indeed. You will be nestled between [redacted] and [redacted]. Let me get my mind ready. Tripping is an easy thing for me to embrace and do, admittedly.

LMFAO. I was just reminded, by software notification of this, of this meme image I created on a lark because of an obscene amount of Cabralese($ & qty) I'd bought. Two years later, the image now works as a comment on egg prices. Holy shit... my eyes... watery with laughter.
