The “Be Prepared” Thread
Sadly, we are all too aware of the increasing need to prepare for the very real threat of imminent emergencies, and too many of us have first-hand knowledge of wildfires, droughts, floods and of other life-disrupting upheavals. The continental United … Continue reading The “Be Prepared” Thread
Breaking the Habit: Hiatus Edition
Putting this thread on hiatus for a bit. It’s partly because I’m going on vacation, partly because interest seems to have fallen off, and partly because I think I need to not be around this place much for a little … Continue reading Breaking the Habit: Hiatus Edition
Breaking the Habit: This Keeps Happening Edition
Last week I mentioned how I’d chickened out on not joining in on a sobriety group. This week I messaged the group leader, told her I was on, waited for the text message giving me the Zoom ID to join, … Continue reading Breaking the Habit: This Keeps Happening Edition

I remember tidying my bathroom, and then changing a lightbulb — which … Continue reading Breaking the Habit: “Sleep”-Shopping Edition
Breaking the Habit: Lili Von Shtüpp Edition
I’m so tired. Jokes aside, I’m really tired of fighting my brain. I’ve talked to my therapist about a couple of new options, but there are serious disadvantages to them. There’s also the apparent truism that you can’t change if … Continue reading Breaking the Habit: Lili Von Shtüpp Edition
Breaking the Habit: May Day Edition
In which your host missed posting this last week. Sorry everyone. (Also in which your host witnessed the absolute enshittification of Google’s search function while trying to find a simple link about May Day. JFC, y’all.) As of this writing … Continue reading Breaking the Habit: May Day Edition
