Don’t quibble about the time of sunset! Civil twilight is still 20 min away.

It is 5:03 PM EST and there is still sunlight in my current location. This seems like a whistle, notable occurrence.

The pinned edges of a blue and white quilt with one edge of untrimmed batting. The photo is zoomed in on an area where the edges do not meet in a straight line.

This is in no way a rectangle. Let’s normalize, warm, snuggly, trapezoid quilts. #quilting #wabisabi

The quilt continues. Reliquia by Rosalia just made me cry. A good day for sad songs. #quilting

What a day to dissociate! Look at the quilt! And the cat! I can sew in straight lines! Over and over! Oooh a square! There is no world outside of the square! #quilting #sovereignty

I listened to DebΓ­ Tirar MΓ‘s Fotos. I often play Bad Bunny at full volume when I need to drive home in the middle of the night. This album is more expansive, fun and beautiful exploration of his identity as a Puerto Rican musician. 100% agree with the hype. Now must listen with the lyrics pulled up.

I’ve listened to four new albums this year. All of which I loved. I’m woefully behind. I will be working my way through the rolling stone top 100 as I finish up a quilt. Thoughts to follow. @rollingstone.com

Team, how many hours of tik-tok a day is too many? I know that I think the answer is *any* but my 12 yr old likely disagrees. What limits have you negotiated with your adolescents? #help #parenting

Attacking the financial viability of the real estate and health care industries at one time may not be good for the survival of the US economy.

Speaking of, if you know a grad, newlywed, first time renter or homeowner- consider the book How to Cook Everything Vegetarian (or its cousin How to Cook Everything) as a clutch gift @markbittman.bsky.social
