One of my favorite illustrations by one of my favorite artists.

“The Man Gave Him a Pair of Snowshoes”, a watercolor painting by the Danish illustrator, Kay Nielsen, from 1914.

This is from East of the Sun and West of the Moon: Old Tales from the North, a collection of Scandinavian Folk Tales.

This piece illustrates a scene from the folk tale, “The Three Princesses of Whiteland”.

I am not sure people realize what a merger of tech billionaires and autocratic government will mean. The amount of possible data mining for mind crimes is endless.

Want to DO SOMETHING for our sisters in draconian states? There's a movement to buy Plan B and tuck them away. (I plan to freeze mine)

Everything is on fire,
but everyone I love is doing beautiful things
and trying to make life worth living,
and I know I don’t have to believe in everything,
but I believe in that.

Spain on a Fork is a great cooking channel. He does a lot of vegetarian recipes that are easy to adapt to be vegan. I am bookmarking this recipe to try this fall.

Just had some veggie pho. It's what I usually eat when I'm sick. It felt good to get some food in my belly.

Thank goodness we have COSO and J running this ship. I can't imagine being anywhere else on a day like today.

On November 17 we will celebrate COSO's 7th birthday.

Those of us who can, help @th3j35t3r with the expenses to keep COSO afloat. Now more than ever, it seems important to do so. Several times in the past we have funded it 100% in this month. Can we do that again?

Please consider the ways to help fund COSO and especially November at 100%.

Here's how:

Hey, if you're stuck in a doom loop, go do a little thing that has a clear ending point so that you know you've accomplished something. A small chore, a shower, go check the mailbox, take a walk, eat some protein, do a nerve glide.

Get yourself a little bit of dopamine. It helps.

Normally, I'm an emotional eater. Food makes me feel good and pushes away all kinds of anxiety, depression, and more.

But last night and today, I have no appetite. The thought of food makes me feel ill.

It certainly won't hurt me to eat very little for a couple of days, and it's kind of fascinating. But it's like my body feels this deeply, in a different way than my usual personal struggles.

Dallas County results (not fully counted, but I don't expect major changes):
57% of registered voters voted.
Trump got 38%
Harris got 60%

Being a blue dot in a red state was like being in an oasis. Not fully safe, but a bit protected. Now, though, I'm sure Abbot and Trump will make it treacherous to be in places like this. They'll make it harder for municipalities to provide more protections than the state.

Also, this state has a lot of people, most of whom (more than 2/3) live in small towns.
