  Happy Sunday, everyone! Quiet day. Rainy out. Husband is flying back from his trip home to Michigan today. One last weekend chore remains: putting away clean laundry. But maybe I'll run a bath first.... #Dogs #DogsOfMastodon

  Y'all! A friend from St. Louis just sent me this picture of her new kitten asleep in one of my bowls! 🥰 #Catsofmastodon #Pottery

  My Deaf therapist just shared with me that in the Deaf cultural studies crowd, they joke that "hard of hearing" is actually "soft of deaf" and I love that! 🙌 🤟 #Deaf #DeafCulture #ASL

  The husband is heading upstairs to call his mom. We just placed bets on how long it will take her to bring up her bowels. #MotherInLaw

  Attended an open house for a Jewish friend's mom last night. For all sorts of really complicated family dynamics, he's not attending the funeral, so this was his way of saying goodbye. It was such a lovely evening - all of his close friends were there, a rabbi friend of the family was there to say the Kaddish prayer. Watching my friend, standing with his wife, his four year old in his arms, surrounded by 40 of his closest friends, I thought, "THIS is family." ❤️ #FoundFamil...

  It's a fun culinary weekend! Last night, we made Syracuse salt potatoes with our cod and veggies, this morning we had fresh blackberry syrup made last night in the Zojirushi bread maker, and tonight it will be a Lebanese cucumber salad with yogurt, garlic, and mint, and for dessert, fresh peaches over vanilla ice cream. Potatoes, black berries, peaches, and cucumbers are all thanks to the Saturday morning farmer's market! #Food #FarmersMarket

  When the Supreme Court announced on June 26, 2015 that Marriage Equality was the law of the land, church bells began to ring in all the churches in our neighborhood. That night, pulled by our gadar, we decided to drive down to the White House - and found this! #LGBTQ #MarriageEquality #WhiteHouse #WashingtonDC

  Went to Trader Joe's in DC today. Parked in a handicapped spot, got out with my cane, found the elevator broken — stairs only. Talked to store manager. No repair date. No alternative access plan. But I did get a "disabled customers are a priority." The ADA passed in 1990. Thirty-six years later and "have you tried the stairs?" is still a thing. 😤 #DC #DMV #Disability #Accessibility #DisabilityRights

  Woah - this link is gold! If you have access to Libby through your public library, you can type in your local library system and this will tell you all other Libby systems you’re eligible for! Edit: I though this app was available in Canada, but it appears that it currently operates only in the US, with plans to expand to Canada and the UK. Apologies! https://reciprocard.com #Libby #libraries #books #bookstodon

  Countdown to my back surgery on May 29! I put off scheduling the surgery for several weeks - out loud I was all like "I need to find the best time for my clients and my work" but inwardly I was just freaking out and putting it off. Surgery will mean going off lupus meds for 3 weeks and that is something that I'm really not looking forward to, but now that surgery is actually scheduled, I'm actually excited to get it done!

  It always feels like a major win when I remember to take my morning pills in the morning. The afternoon version is just called "taking my pills." The 10pm version is called "oh god." #lupus #chronicIllness

  Hey knitters, weavers, and fiber artists, who's going to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival this weekend? https://sheepandwool.org/ @knitting @fiberarts #weaving #Knitting

  TIL I learned the term Hopepunk: "Hopepunk is a subgenre of speculative fiction, conceived of as the opposite of grimdark. Works in the hopepunk subgenre are about characters fighting for positive change, radical kindness, and communal responses to challenges." It appears that I am a hopepunk kinda guy. #hopepunk

  Resting today after a really wonderful outing yesterday to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival! Unfortunately I got zero pics of the 4 year old nephew, who, viewing live sheep for the first time, pet their heads and noses, waved and yelled hello, and then with his arms up, yelled "I love you sheep!" No major purchases, but did get to talk to the maker of my e-spinner and found out how to get it up and running again, so I'm pretty chuffed about that! #Sheep @fibera...

  Hey #hopepunk community, you sure delivered! Yesterday I had only just learned about the genre - today I've added 10 books to my tbr list (thank you???) and am on chapter 5 of John Scalzi's Kaiju Preservation Society and loving it. #AmReading #Bookstodon

  My new mindfulness practice is mostly just trying to remember which part of the house I left my cane in. #mindfulness
