I needed this reminder from @jabel

β€œI am one of a species evolved over millennia to be survivors. We have survived every climate and government. We have survived famines and fools. We are adaptable. … I am a shard of the living cosmos. I am the cosmos conscious, carrying the light forward. I am a light bearing witness to other lights and experiencing darkness. I may be many things, good and bad, but I am not fragile.”

Polling place (library πŸ“šπŸ§‘) was busy, with people circling the lot to park as others left. One lady asked if we were leaving, so I waved her in the right direction. As we pulled out I yelled “Get in there & save democracy!” She yelled back, “Oh yeah you know I’m gonna!” So that felt positive.

Enjoyed this one. Lots of historical detail and good friendship building but it’s basically a β€œshipwrecked on an island” story and I love those. #bookstodon

I seem to be incapable of using superglue without getting it all over my fingers.

Side noteβ€”cannot currently use Touch ID to unlock my laptop.

Did not plan on spending my Saturday afternoon unclogging the bathtub drain but now I own this badass drain snake and even though it took me 2+ hours I do feel pretty much unstoppable. Except my back hurts and I’m tired so I’m gonna get a snack and lay down now.

A real shit run this morning. slept terribly, felt exhausted, strava wouldn’t open, legs like lead, etc. Ended up walking, mostly.

Still, good numbers:

20 Harris/Walz signs > 3 Trump signs.

And on Amendment 3, which would end MO abortion ban:

12 YES > 8 NO. Closer than I’d like but okay.
