Researching kintsukuroi (aka kintsugi, the art of repairing broken pottery with gold lacquer) led me to wabi-sabi (roughly, finding beauty in imperfection and value in age). We can learn so much from the Japanese.

So I guess one good thing about going back to the office sometimes is I get to unpack my office artwork, including this piece that was stitched for me by a friend

In 2016, when Trump won MI, PA and WI by 77, 000 votes, it was part of his "landslide" victory. In 2020, when Biden won MI, PA and WI by 255,000 votes, and won the popular vote by 6 million, it was "voter fraud."  We will not allow Trump to destroy American democracy.

It’s ok to need. It’s ok to ask. It’s ok to receive. Dammit. Hard practice for those of us who attach our value to being givers. But so worth it. 🧡

I've been racking my brain for funny stories that don't involve dead people and apparently I don't have that many. I'm not sure what that says about me but that's not important now. Here's one that involves no corpses whatsoever;
