@jenlovesjt47 - I'm on season 3, episode 3. Had to share a rough haiku because the change in dynamic between these two is hilarious! 🤣

Stirring poems about
black and queer experience.
Breathtaking language.

Reading and eating take out in bed because it's hot and the bedroom has the air conditioner.

I'm ineligible to give blood, but I absolutely would if I could. Our local blood bank is owned by our for-profit hospital, so I refuse to donate money to them. (But would donate blood, since it's the exclusive provider to our area.)
Instead, I made a donation to the Blood Bank of Alaska in honor of @TieDyeDude for arranging this drive. What a fantastic idea.

🩵 South Park is serving the level of petty I need in my life right now. 🤣
🩵 Our air quality is improving!
🩵 I got some random inspiration for a new craftivism project. I'm excited to start working on it this weekend!
🩵 The #haikuhive and the #antifabookclub are keeping me sane. 😘
🩵 Book hauls (I'll share pics this weekend).

Work texts began this morning while I was still in the shower, so it's a late pull today. But it's hilarious that I got this card when I'm just starting to catch up on the news. 🙃😵💫🫠

Dear Canadians,
I'm sorry our U.S. representatives are complete a$$hats. We don't all agree with them. I can't even imagine how bad the smoke is for y'all. But your response to this nonsense is freaking epic.
Love, lil1inblue

I enjoyed watching the neighbor's dog playing this morning. Missed my photo opportunity, so this is a web photo.

This was hard to narrow down! Here's some quotations that stuck with me over the years.
? I mean, what a fan-forking-tastic line. Just epic! ?
? This one describes MisterInBlue perfectly. I just love it. ?
✒️ This whole poem lives rent-free in my head. I adore the line "I have measured out my life with coffee spoons." ???
Honorable mention:
? "Oh! Fuck wank bugger shitting arse head and hole!" From Love Actually. My favorite swear. ?
We do not care that we are a constant contradiction. 🤣🤣🤣

A local business owner called the local TV station to ask them to stop reporting on the wildfire haze and smoke because it's hurting tourism. Yes, he is a supporter of the #fluorescentfascist. This is how entitled they feel. IT'S THE FORKING WEATHER FORECAST!!!

There was the weirdest noise coming from a nearby business during my insomniac porch time last night. I still don't know what it was.

I needed this reminder to maintain the self-nuturing I did on vacation while I'm back at work.

This was in one of the displays about Finnish-American labor and workers' movements at Finn Fest last week. I found it bone-chilling. History rhymes.

I made a detailed plan for my vacation. But I'm glad I was willing to let go of my plan and accept what came my way. I saved a hundred bucks or so because the hostel I booked asked if I could stay in a bunk instead of a semi-private room. My hostel ended up being right across the street from my parents' hotel, so I was able to get free parking. And I stumbled upon some great restaurants by just wandering. 🩵🩵🩵

Had a mix of staycation and vacation this week:
🩵 Local shopping day with mama always includes a bookstore visit
🩵 Lazy days at home (as represented by Tapio)
🩵 Advice from my 45 years as the daughter of a musician: If there is a jam session, watch it. It's always amazing. There's literally hundreds of years of musical experience in that jam circle.
🩵 Tiny art exhibition
🩵 Finn Fest. Connecting with my roots.

The second book in the Litenverse did not disappoint! Funny, adventurous, and uplifting.

I had a local shopping day with my mama and got a new oracle deck. I thought it would be fun to do a #haikutarotreading.
Deck is the Tree Keepers Oracle. Written by Angi Sullins, artwork by Stephanie Law.

My mom and I watched the new South Park episode today. 😏 What a fantastic way to start my vacation. 😘🤌🏻 #iykyk #overcomingevilempires #antifabookclub #fluorescentfascist
🩵 My vacation starts at 5:30 pm EDT today!
🩵 I'm looking forward to a week away from work!
🩵 I can't wait for abundant reading time next week!
🩵 I'm excited to attend FinnFest in Duluth during my vacation!
🩵 Did I mention that I'm on vacation next week?!?!

It's always a delight to witness the neighborhood children at play. Watching them run home at dusk last night was a lovely reminder of my own childhood. 💓🥰💓

I audio-ed this one on my drive to and from MN this weekend. I just love spending time with Vera.

I felt inspired after our weekly organizing meeting. ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

We do not care for your unsolicited advice, thank you. (And yes, it was from a cis-het white man.)
#wdncw #wedonotcarewednesday @dabbe
I'm still missing my friends after a weekend of fun. It's always hard to say good-bye, but there is always another visit to look forward to!
