swachterSo. I swear to all the gods that this bag was not nearly so topical when I started working on it, but: here we are. Again. Still. We never stopped being here, but the here-ness of it is once again a full swarm of voracious locusts, and we are in it fully.
I am doing distinctly Not Great With Everything for all the reasons one might expect, but I could do worse than channeling it into making beautiful practical things so that's what I'm doing.
Ursula K. Le Guin speaks my mind: "I am an aging, angry woman laying mightily about me with my handbag, fighting hoodlums off. However I don't, nor does anybody else, consider myself heroic for doing so. It's just one of those damned things you have to do in order to be able to go on gathering wild oats and telling stories."

Keep doing the damned things. Take care of yourselves. Take care of each other.
