I just came back from a two-week, no computer trip down south (hence the silence here and in #junited ) I know it's easy to dig on Florida, but it is breathtaking and full of a lot of amazing human beings working really hard in spite of it all. They are loving and living and showing up for each other and making music and filming ICE raids and fighting for springs like these. #florida #floridasprings

There is so much we don't know about post-viral issues except that they are very common with Covid (and EBV/mono and others!) Anecdotally (from my experience and in too many LC forums) many people experience onset of post-viral issues after trying to go "back to normal" too quickly. Ain't worth it! I cannot stress enough how "mild" my acute covid symptoms were, and I ended up having to quit my job. Take a test! Rest extra! No rushing! (I say in a capitalist world, I know) 2/2

The last six of my very fast and loose, unpressed quilt blocks for my first quilt. About 2/3 of the fabric is second-hand and about half of the fabric is old duvet covers or curtains.

Pattern came from Baltimore's monthly free book giveaway, the Book Thing.

A lot of ironing is in my future #quilting #quilt #sewing #textiles

My brain is breaking as I try to figure out how this was achieved in etching. And this is just a detail!

And Flower Mart is in Mt Vernon 11-8pm today. I went yesterday and there were great vendors and good energy. My buddy went back and forth with the owner of Ekiben about them not offering delivery and he hooked her up with free tofu lol. It's been going on for 115 years! https://www.wmar2news.com/news/region/baltimore-city/baltimores-historic-flower-mart-returns-to-mount-vernon-this-weekend

This got more boosts again so I just want to reiterate: this is a thing you can just *do*! You can look up to see if there is a fridge or pantry network near you, check the rules (like donations probably need to be sealed, labeled, dated), and fill them. Is your local political action org mired in too many emails and drama? While you work on fixing that, you and your buds can just make and bag PB&J's for an hour on a Sunday.

@futurebird meanwhile, math teachers and ELA teachers get harped on all day to "build relationships" - many of my kids do not try without a relationship with the teacher. But that relationship-building can happen naturally in a class like the one you're talking about! And then they can look forward to seeing you later for academics and trust you.

Professor Shoelace does a great job articulating what everyone who has a passion project online has felt.

"For Ian, the cumulative effect of all of these factors is a deep sadness, a sinking feeling of exhaustion and futility. What is the point of adding value to the internet if it is only going to rob you? Why do research, make diagrams, and develop new knots?"

Ian's Is Still The Best Site For Tying Your Shoelaces

Ian's Shoelace Site has been teaching people to tie their shoes for more than two decades. His knots are wonderful. But it is vulnerable to the forces tearing the internet apart.
