With the weekend coming up (a long weekend for some), I hope that you are able to get some rest and find a source of joy. Or at the very least a source of comfort. It may feel traitorous to rest even a moment with everything going on, but it's necessary to sustain vigilance and keep fighting in the long term.

And if you feel rested (or restless), I hope that you can and will hold that vigilance for your neighbors and community, who have until now been unable to rest. Our Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and other BIPOC friends and family have been carrying the burden for generations while we were shielded by our whiteness and/or our proximity to whiteness.

@cannibal I’m mostly going for ballpark, but the formula makes it easier to make sure I’m even in the right state as the ballpark 😂

Nah, it was mostly idle curiosity and also I hate not knowing off the top of my head when some of my friends use C when talking about temps 😅

@cannibal yeah!! It’s one row each day. The way I’m doing it is checking the average temp of wherever I woke up on the previous day on wunderground, try to do the mental conversion of Fahrenheit to Celsius myself, and then put the temp (in F) in a spreadsheet to check my answer. Then I have another column that spits out the color of yarn I need to use for that day / row.

Some folks use the high or low for their rows and there are a TON of different patterns, but I’m just using a simple knit stitch.

@cannibal I made some banana bread and then made some progress on two knitting projects! I just started knitting in the past year so I’m trying to make a beanie (the “melt ICE” beanie) and a temperature blanket to help learn converting Fahrenheit to Celsius!

@varx Interesting! Because I got the strong impression that it was in the same Universe. You'll notice there is some continuity issues, though, in the Empire and Foundation series because of publication order.

New Year tarot pull and journaling is done. It has me hopeful and excited for what lies ahead this year, so long as I remember to keep trusting my intuition.

The first sunrise of the year (and my first sunrise in PDX) looks much different than it did in St. Pete, but I still love it and my little ritual. Happy New Year, friends!

@varx I *highly* recommend starting with “I, Robot” (which mostly just shares the name with the movie). Here’s the list I’m following: https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/list/display/1584219139/1735833849

Context: I just finished “The Robots of Dawn” by Isaac Asimov.

I wish I could bottle up the feeling I had during the reveal at the end of this book because I will be chasing that mind-blown feeling for at least a little while, I imagine. I started reading these books after getting caught up on Foundation (the AppleTV series) and having never read any of his stuff (maybe a short story or something for class? Idk). But I am reading them in chronological order according to the events in the stories and HOLY SHIT. So good. I cannot wait to see how everything weaves together further along the way.
