FYI I'm still unable to open CHAT or do X/Twitter's gymnastics to reset it, so to the person who messaged me there, I'm not ignoring you. 🤷‍♀️

FYI for whoever sends me messages in CHAT: Though I don't use CHAT very often, I can no longer open it at all & don't have a mobile device able to attempt or handle the reset gymnastics. But per searches here, it looks like other ppl are having problems with Chat, too! 🤨

Interesting. The number of CHAT messages I have to leave in limbo keeps growing. Obviously, ppl either don't read or don't believe the FYI posts that I can't open CHAT or reset it.

My grandmother had a framed print of this, but I never knew who the artist was. ❤️

Trees don’t panic in the winter thinking, "Oh no, I’m not growing leaves, I’m a failure." They just rest and wait for spring. You are allowed to have a low-yield season without calling it a personal crisis.

Yep! I still iron a lot of fabrics. Though partially for other reasons, it's also a meditative metaphor for smoothing the wrinkles of life.

#vss365 The Nod Morning arrived mist-tangled, snailslow, hum-limbed. The sky busied, blueing itself badly. Inside my chest a gamble-thorn, small and whisper-jointed, flickering. A riskling mouthed: go. I went and the riskling nodded. #gamble #poetrycommunity #writing

I'll offer my mother's poem again. #blind #vss365 It won a poetry contest, but the name eludes me.

It was never so vivid The sky against the morning-red mountains With the #warmth of the day Played against the cool ground On bare feet. But it's the sound... Ten thousand small wings Beating the air, the Dissonant drone of honey bees One remembers. #vss365

I cannot do the *Dance of Seven Veils*, but over the last few wintery days with brutal wind chills, I found I'm really good doing the *Contortion of Three Tee-Shirts, Two Sweatshirts, & One Fluffy Robe*. 🥶 (Currently enjoying a heat wave in the low 40s. 😁)

I haven't verified this post re: AI Data Centers on another site, but the timing coincided with my wkly utility report. I can cut usage & cost by reducing usage in some hrs. So, after work, I should wait to fix supper till 8:00 (off-peak hrs) or 12 midnight (super off-peak). 😡

A minor enlightenment. Age is not just a number. It is also an algebraic equation. 10x + m=WTF²
