TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

This coming in at only #656 out of 885 on @wxpnfm.bsky.social 's best cover song is a gross misjustice and makes me doubt my fellow XPNers. This song is EVERYTHING a cover song should be. (And yes, it was in my top ten). #xpn885countdown

My favorite performance of this Christmas classic now & forever. (The family has to put up with me doing all the parts whenever this come on. They used to try & leave the room but I'd follow them so now they just ride it out. Living with me is not for the faint of heart.)

When I hit the trifecta of tapestry stitching, reruns of Cold Case, & speed reading one book a night from a light & easy mystery series, that's when I've hit the denial stage on how out of hand my trifecta of depression/stress/anxiety is. On the upside, almost done with half the current design!

According to the article the bowhead whale can live up to 200 years because of how they can repair damaged cells & so show scientists a new direction in curing cancer. Too bad this admin (& others) are hell bent on destroying their habitat. Honestly, we don't deserve to share the Earth with them.
Scientists searching for new ways to combat cancer think they may have uncovered a promising new lead in the DNA of the bowhead whale.

#3. Both Reeves & Winters were very good, and Durdin & Thornton as Pozzo and Lucky were superb. I am a fan of Jamie Lloyd's productions, even though I'll also admit they can be a little..anti typical theater in order to then be overly theatrical (if that makes sense) so I enjoyed the direction too.

No one ever has my answer to the question what's the one travel essential you won't leave home without. My vodka spray (in approved TSA sized bottle) keeps clothes fresh, can be used as a disinfectant, and im a pinch can calm nerves (if you haven't added any scented oils to it).

Following @oregonthedm.bsky.social and their list of historically interesting things is the best thing I did for myself here. You absolutely do not have to be into DND. Do yourself a favor and do the same. Seeing each post renews my faith in humankind, in a way.
