poem from @genderqueerwolf.bsky.social arrived safely and brought me peace. felt like the first deep breath in a while!
(and I found the bravery to read it on a rainy morning, which felt very right.)
A typewritten poem on a fabric background patterned with sprigs of leaves. Transcript: Roll the near-green heather the still-clinging not yet giving up the white breath of snow the ragged sigh of winter ghosts rub it between your fingers a soft and scratchy call for all the moors may argue December hardly knows what to make of home when the earth is wetter than the sky gather the bog oak the holly wood the bramble and bay laurel a twist, a knot far and farthing away to burn for when the chill howls knocking at the windows promising winter with no particular delivery date

We report: in the depths of bog country, the will-o’-the-wisps of distant city lights are keeping the sky three shades above full darkness. This is not enough light to observe the night life we hear, no matter how much we squint. We still think we see things move above the water.
Digital painting of a night landscape: a dark grey, opaque sky above distant mountains, and marsh land in the foreground. There is a pond with clods covered in grass emerging from the water. There are hazy lights glowing above the mountains, lending a greenish tint to the sky there.

Everything is a lot. I'm about to read and fall asleep, but in case you need to see it here is Aristotle in his blanket fort after Emmaline the Ancient didn't want to play with him.
The eyes and nose of an orange and white Cornish Rex cat looking out from under a piled up green comforter. He is on top of a soft fuzzy electric blanket, which is of course on. There are fresh scratches on his nose because he tried to play with Emmaline the Ancient.

If you’re in the UK and were born between 1970-1990 you can just go to your GP and get revaccinated for MMR because you may have had single vaccines, which are no longer considered valid. I went & did it this summer. Easy way to help protect yourself & your community.

If you are worried this is too big an executive function barrier you can go to a pharmacy and they will probably just jab you. That is what I did.

I'm not saying it's necessarily the right way to do this, that is just how much I am not fucking around with the measles

Go to your doctor and get your measles titers checked to make sure you are still immune and if not get re-vaccinated. It’s more and more likely all of us are going to eventually come in contact with it.

With this piece of bread on the ground in Ottawa, Canada and the one below in Perth, Australia, @drstip.bsky.social and I have successfully created an Earth sandwich.

The hot dog vs sandwich debate is concluded.

If the Earth is sandwiched, everything is a sandwich.

HAPPY EARTH SANDWICH DAY!

We report: the Geminid meteor shower peak has come around again. Like a tired running joke, though the sky was clear, it pulled a blanket onto itself in the evening, fair, understandable, so would we. The stars we see stay still, which is fine. We hope to see them fall next year.
Digital painting of a dusk sky, a gradient of dark to light blue, with a few stars glowing. There are soft clouds everywhere, some of them lighter, some of them darker, covering large areas of the sky.

the prairies are incredibly pretty and if you try to tell me otherwise, i won’t hear it and i won’t respond to it 🙂‍↔️❄️✨

a bright, simple illustration of a winter snow-covered field in the prairies. The sky is a bright blue with big fluffy clouds on the horizon. Tufts of dead brown grass poke through the snow, and a crescent moon sit up high in the sky. A long freight train with brightly coloured cars snakes its way about two thirds of the way across the horizon, far in the distance
