Week 50-25 - Curiosities
Greetings from the Mesa
We had our first "major" snowfall - 4" - and it was beautiful. It was cold cold cold for a few days after so the snow has lasted longer than it usually does. The wood stove has been pumping out the cozy nearly non-stop. The deep descent into full cozy season has begun in earnest. Lots of knitting projects, art projects, book reading, and TV watching is happening. We are going to try to get to Bandelier NP for one last adventure and lunch before the end of the year. The slower days are very welcome, and hopefully we will have more snow soon.
Curiosities of the Week
- I have started to post my on-going autobiographic novel/comic/zine project - Nix/86. The first three pages are up.
- Paper-and-Pen Diaries are Forever (NYT-gift). I am a life-long diary/journal/sketchbook keeper and 100% agree with this opinion piece.
- Trump Administration Decides Endangered Species Act Will No Longer Be Followed Eff this administration. Seriously! M+
- Peertube: Video on the Fediverse - a how to. Supposedly Youtube has started to insert AI slop into videos. Nope! I'm in the process of researching Peertube. I'm finding i'm saying NOPE to AI a lot. Turning it off whenever and where ever I can.
- The myth of Thanksgiving is as American as it is wrong. A little after the fact, but still worth a read.
Consuming
Currently Reading: I have been sucked into reading Alchemised. I'm about half way through - and it's well... a lot. I can safely say I will probably never want to read another dark fantasy or Alchemy based magic fantasy novel ever again.
TV/Movies: Still watching Matlock, Down Cemetary Road, and Pluribus. Also working our way through the Juan Gabriel doc on Netflix.
Music: Another Tiny Desk gem: David Byrne
Thinking about: SNOW!
Thanks for reading, see you next time!
