iz potat

A potato from Ward's Berry Farm (Sharon, MA) via Crescent Ridge Dairy delivery. It's 9x4x3", 2lb. This is an endorsement.

Tiny adorable xteink 3 is here! I love it. First two books: the Standard Ebooks versions of Middlemarch and Lud-in-the-Mist. 15 years of e-ink touchscreens is making the adjustment to buttons a challenge, but it will be worth it.

An ereader that's just a little smaller than a playing card. The screensaver is Moomintroll running through a forest. The screen resolution is surprisingly good.

Sashiko is so satisfying. I can do it even on PEM days. #NEISvoid

Sashiko in progress. Dusty pink cloth, pink thread of a slightly different shade.

My cute BPL socks

My right foot from my POV. White sock with red, orange, and red-purple design. The toe is purple (so are the heel and cuff, but they're not in the pic. Aren't you glad you read the alt text?) Above it, "BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY." Above that, randomly-spaced line drawings of every BPL branch, one color each. You can't tell which branch is which unless you already know, and frankly I'd be guessing about all of them in spite of having visited many.

A neighbor's flowers

Daffodils, pink and purple hyacinths, shrubs with little leaves, and red-purple tulips. Behind them are the porch stairs and the porch railing, but the flowers mostly cover them up. I skipped describing the grass in the foreground because it's pretty boring tbh.

Another pocket park, maintained by the same volunteer group

A very small park. There's a tree with baby leaves, daffodils, and hyacinths, and a bust of Alexander the Great in the middle of it.

Little flower patch and a tree, maintained by volunteers

Little patch of greenery with a tree (bright yellow-green leaves, you know the drill by now). This one has blue-purple flowers around it and daffodils in front.

Spring tiny neighborhood bookstore (please go there, it's a Black-owned queer-friendly co-op!)

A smallish building with a flag that says BOOKS and a colorful sign in the window that says BOOKS and the business name Rozzie Bound Books

Spring ginkgo trees

A row of gingko trees. They have small baby bright yellow-green leaves. Behind them is an ordinary red brick building. Behind that is a perfectly cloudless bright blue sky.

Aha

Wide wooden balcony edge with many scratches. A graffito says "Thomas Gibson No Popery Here."

Today's other good thing: enough energy to get my library holds on a perfect spring day (not recorded: so many birds chirping away)

A triple-decker with a tree in front of it, barely showing leaves, and a tree with a lot of bright yellow-green leaves behind it. The sky is bright blue with a few puffy white clouds.

Lol was it just a high school girl affectation? And I just remembered the abbreviation for -tion q.v.

What I believe to be a "t" in French cursive, and the abbreviation for "-tion " a "t" with a degree sign

And here I am!

Hand holding up a program for the Boston Ballet "Winter Experience." In the background, the red stage curtain and some fancy gilded plaster columns. I'm sitting almost dead center in the balcony, about halfway up. A really good seat!

Waiting at Back Bay for some reason... probably to let these dignified individuals finish their snack (they then got off at Tufts and Chinatown). #boston #mbta #publictransitlife

If you see this, post an archer

Yu Bin as Alive Wen Ning in The Untamed/CQL drawing a bow, looking like a very serious cinnamon roll

Or you can have this one

Bright gold gingko leaves on the tree this time, against a sky so blue it looks fake

New phone wallpaper. Fallpaper?

A pile of bright gold gingko leaves in the sunshine

The Zohran sign, but it says JAIL FOR MOTHER

Bonus! Many portraits of this adorably skeptical baby, in the fine tradition of Babies Who Think You're Up To Something

Mediocre phone photo of a painting of a plump little baby, who looks very cynical about life and the world.

I just got out of the Van Gogh exhibit at the @mfaboston.bsky.social. you have until Sunday! Go look and be happy!

Mediocre phone photo of the Yellow House bedroom painting

Mediocre phone photo of a Van Gogh self-portrait. The green paint he used for the shadows on his face is the same as the green paint he used for parts of the bedroom floor

My Can Ci Pin/The Defectives Vol 1 just got here. @rosmei.bsky.social continues to produce beautiful books! This HC is SEWN okay. @yiggybean.com ships fast and packs carefully. Worth every penny!
