I commissioned a piece of art that makes me giggle a whole lot.

In a Catholic votive candle style, Willow holds their laptop and has their other hand on their chest. They look serious and serene. The caption reads “our captain of unreasonable expectations.”

Being fancy today.

My little desk buddies Locke gave me.

Here’s some winter joy for y’all.

Willow Idlewild@willowbl00· Dec 21

Locke has started asking if things are “fun little details” (yes, there’s been a LOT of BrickCraft in the house).

Look, I do have SOME chill, ok? Just today, I decided wearing a bow tie on my second day might be Too Much and walked it back to a nice floral print tie instead.

Why yes I DID make myself a burndown chart of all the work I had left to do on my contracts for my last sprint. And as of today, it's ALL GREEN. GO ME. ⭐ ✅ ⭐

Reed gave me my Christmas present early so I could wear it for the full season.

Boy but my two main relationships sure are right for me these days.

Reed, my husband, talking about building a stagger to track weight and cost of how much candy we’ve given away at Halloween. I tell him he’s very attractive.

My sweetie Mark telling me he wants to hear more about community roads, me saying it devolves into publicly visible spreadsheets, and adding that this is basically sexting for me.

The world is terrible but I had a good day and I get to see @saulwilliams.bsky.social perform tonight with @dibujandro.bsky.social

Gentle reminder that if you've got extra money around, you can invest in non-extractive investment like Seed Commons. See case studies about how they invest in local communities at a low but solid return: seedcommons.org/case-studies

Seed Commons investments since 2011 showing 447 loans made of 115 million total. Bright pink and black, very striking.

Early morning airport.

Willow and Locke cuddle up at the airport. Very are both wearing masks, and both look sleepy.

But also, sense of style for a sick day is 🔥.

Reflections on the meditation retreat I went to yesterday, including acting as if we're already free and thoughts on confidence. blog.bl00cyb.org/2025/07/free...

This Quan Yin is a replica of a celebrated statue on display at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri.
Jack Kornfield took a photo of it to Victoria Fahey in Bali where a master artisan created a replica for Spirit Rock. The carving took over a year to complete because the artist wanted to work from a single piece of wood to represent wholeness.
The figure is seated on an outcropping of rock in the traditional posture of royal ease. She is both relaxed and yet ready to respond to all in need. Quan-Yin means "She Who Hears the Cries of the World" and her compassion embodies both male and female characteristics.

This cat used to be pretty aloof and self sufficient. 6 years in, we figured out he likes aggressive butt pats and now I have to deal with things like this.
