@AdamOnza the desert brings many to its shores / many stare at the sun and move on / many lie beneath the stars and stay / a place for contemplating life / until life hits you in the face.

Have you visited?

I drink vodka shots out of my mother's fine china teacups
and I think, is that it? Is that all there is?
Life, another breathe, another night
To pray for dreamless dreams.

The moon shines bright over the flooded river
The debris stuck on every recognisable thing
The flood water stick tilted sideways
Making a mockery of its sole intent

That is all there is.

I built my wife a tool to survive her PhD and thought other researchers might want it too. Zotero's essential for citations, but she was struggling to know what to read next versus what she'd already read.

Paperstack is basically Goodreads for academic papers. Import from Zotero, sort by stack and tag, achieve calm.

This is an unusual 7 day forecast for the desert. Wait and see if the mighty Todd River flows. Lhere Mparntwe is an ephemeral river, usually dry.

@AdamOnza I tried it with 5 colours. Enjoy the challenge. Def the magic ring works best. #craftart

Petrichor.
It's the perfume of the earth
the gift of the tree leaves
like that brief respite after mourning
you could call it happiness
a lifting of the soul
the smell of rain.

The taste of the sea
I promise

He asked 'how much did that cost?"
the mixture is bright red
teamed with a green leaf
pure butter
on the crusty loaf
it's irresistible, even to the teenager

I savour the salty bite
memories of other times
different company
better views

Caviar.

@creating #tdc5131 #ds106 I asked for a song about "running around being very busy and stressed out", but I also asked that it was in the style of a gothic ballad. This is what I got

@dogtrax @creating Solid gold rocks! #ds106

#finishitfebruary this is top of the list. A simple lace top for summer. If the pattern works (from Knitcroaddict) I'll do another one for my sister. #crochet

Punk rock reggae... That's not too much to ask Spotify, surely. #music

@dogtrax today I negotiated to have my book sold through the local independent book store. I was so nervous I revealed my print cost! 🤣 Self-promtion does not come easy to me. A fab book shop Red Kangaroo Books.

The talk was all framework this and framework that
as if those neat diagrams and simple words could help me
think.

@bricolage I agree, so much fun to catch movement to words.
