"Oolong Has This Been Going On?"
Teableau for 01/26/26

This song by Ace is an earworm in my head today.

To break up our scene in this way
But there ain't any use in pretending
It could happen to us any day"

"Legacy Of Hope"
Teableau for 01/19/26

It feels awkward to speak of hope these days, but I won't demean his memory by considering anything less. Hope does not preclude struggle, resistance, or self- defense, but rather, underpins them all.

There actually is a warming trend right now in Western WA. It's been in the 50s this week where it's ordinarily much colder in January. The bugs and buds are so confused, emerging way too early.

"Tempted"
Teableau for 01/12/26

Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
'Cause all that you have is your soul."
