@WarnerCrocker I didn’t realize azaleas grew that far north! Pretty.

@Fragglemuppet Years ago, I knew there was something scary on the other side of a door in a dream. So, in the dream, I quickly thought, “It’s just going to be a bunny rabbit.” When the door opened, there was a human-sized rabbit wearing a top hat & tuxedo!
That’s the only time I’ve ever knowingly controlled a dream.

@Fragglemuppet What is Bob so grumpy about?

@dalias It’s not showing up for me. I know Meta likes to test features by rolling them out to just some users at first to see how they do.

Going through an old notebook, I found this diagram. This is an example of how I sometimes start stories. Only, this time, I have absolutely no idea what I was thinking. #writing

This is how
things get done:
Perched on folding chairs
in multi-purpose rooms
during the off hours.
Someone takes notes,
someone brings coffee,
and we build consensus
from pieces of whatever stuff
we’ve brought with us.
