Daily bunny no.3202 is walking and talking
A bunny walks along a street by the sea, on a sunny day. A sea serpent 'walks' next to him, coming out of the water alongside the shore. They address each other warmly

As I like to say in winter, “When snow is on the ground, always carry carrots in your pocket.”

Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears:

archive.is/ur35j
First, I want to extend my gratitude to all the people who have reached out from across the country and around the world to support our family. This kindness of strangers is the most fitting tribute because if you ever encountered my wife, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, you know that above all else, she was kind, In fact, kindness radiated out of her. Renee sparkled. She literally sparkled. I mean, she didn't wear glitter but I swear she had sparkles coming out of her pores. All the time. You might think it was just my love talking but her family said the same thing. Renee was made of sunshine, Renee lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it Where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole. Like people have done across place and time, we moved to make a better life for ourselves. We chose Minnesota to make our home. Our whole extended road trip here, we held hands in the car while our son drew all over the windows to pass the time and the miles, What we found when we got here was a vibrant and welcoming community, we made friends and spread joy: And while any place we were together was home, there was a strong shared sense here in Minneapolis that we were looking out for each other. Here, I had finally found peace and safe harbor. That has been taken from me forever. We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness. Renee lived this belief every day. She is pure love. She is pure joy. She is pure sunshine On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns. Renee leaves behind three extraordinary children; the youngest is just six years old and already lost his father. I am now left to raise our son and to continue teaching him, as Renee believed, that there are people building a better world for him. That the people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way. We thank you for the privacy you are granting our family as we grieve. We thank you for ensuring that Renee's legacy is one of kindness and love. We honor her memory by living her values: rejecting hate and choosing compassion, turning away from fear and pursuing peace, refusing division and knowing we must come together to build a world where we all come home safe to the people we love.

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

Not enough people have been posting ducks on ice.

We can't fix all the problems in the world in 2026, but we can fix this. 🪶
A northern pintail duck standing on ice. This makes it look extra cute. I didn't include the #birdbutt hashtag because it's really the whole body that's the center piece of this shot, but I included in the alt text so it should show up on the search

Free workshops for chicago teens this month at different libraries! Extra dimensional embroidery. I made these little samples this weekend to help get their creative juices flowing and I am giddy. Still time to register.

Four embroidery hoops. One is a bowl of pho with actual chop sticks stitched on. A sheep with real roving. A bird sitting on a real stick that says don’t feed the trolls. The back of a young girl in winter gear holding a 3d heart with curly red hair bouncing off the fabric.
