Hey you can now find me on Mastadon @thimblewinder@sfba.social (but I'm still figuring it out so it might be a bit before I post anything). thimblewinder on instagram too. Where can I find you?

I keep telling everyone to watch Mrs Davis and I MEAN IT. The show uses one detail (an all-knowing AI) as a launch point and just... gets very bizarre and fun and funny. I have no idea what to expect from one episode to the next. Thank you, writers! Seriously, thank you.

I don't love going to shows like I once did, which is part being old (and having gone to shows *nearly weekly* in high school & college) but also not terribly into indoor crowds of strangers since 2020 for some weird reason.

Also don't at me, most of those shows were five dollars to get into!

Got a ticket for a show next week and was supposed to be going with friends (they are not going, for good reasons!), was like UGH SHOULD I STILL GO? Mapped it and the venue is two blocks from BART. Two!! I'm going!

Old, holey sock that's far beyond mending? Put it on your hand, dust a bunch of stuff, THEN throw it away. Works with unders/tshirts, too.

Have had a really trying week (feeling powerless, then lost *actual electricity* for 26 hrs) but drew a picture of my craft tweezers I'd misplaced and then found them, so things are hopefully looking up.

Highly recommending all writing by Lisa, as always.
Re-upping for the Friday crowd! Sign up for Leisure Time, get weekly recommendations for things to do as well as gentle riffing on the matters of the day [said while wearing a monocle and sipping a mug of tea]

Everything here is so perfectly said. What a time in my life to read it—and how I wish I could send it to past versions of me, who were so distraught about it.
Will probably delete this but want to post for those who feel similar because it's maddening thinking you're the only one/one of very few. I am very sad about but making peace with the fact that romantic love is sthg that eludes some of us for reasons we cannot know or control.

My library hold for Ducks by Kate Beaton just arrived and I'm beyond thrilled to hole up all holiday week and read it. I'm also going to make baked beans (which involves a lot of time waiting for it to cook, so why not read).

Ducks was so sad and so incredibly well done. I think this might be my absolute favorite of Kate Beaton's work, which is saying a lot.

Eels! Eels! Eels!
Ok folks. It’s time we talked about eels. I’m a geologist but I recently learnt about eels and… wow. Since then, I’ve been greeting strangers with ‘DO YOU KNOW ABOUT EELS?!’ Well, consider yourself a stranger in my path. Strap in. It’s a 🧵 1/so many

Remember Parcel Ghost? I've been talking about that guy for TEN YEARS and you can get some celebratory Parcel Ghost goodies (stickers! commemorative stamps!) right here: thimblewinder.square.site/

Having a nice weekend game of Cold? Allergies? Covid? With added bonus of PCR scheduled at a SURPRISE!! closed Wlgrnz Pharmacy (FWIW, daily rapid tests have all been negative).

Didn't realize it was closed until I got there and tried to call (as instructed per confirmation email, since I didn't drive). Sigh. Got a slice of apple pie across the street and walked home.

Like, I appreciate them both? But also I really miss the Paul Pierce/Kevin Garnett era when anything was uh possible.

I have been quiet about this series because I love Playoffs Celtics as a general mood but I currently live under the watchful eye of like 27 Steph Curry murals and the Warriors are pretty epic.
