I’m heartbroken that I can’t foster this terrier who may be euthanized. He’s a Korean terrier rescued from a market where dogs are sold for meat. I know I have to take care of myself before I can help others, but I can’t wait for the day I have the space and means to give dogs like him a second chance. 💔

I miss spring—the way it softens the edges of the city, how the sun lingers a little longer, and how even the grumpiest winter sourpusses seem to thaw out just a bit. Warmer weather really does wonders for people’s moods. Pic of my favorite wall of orchids at Longwood Gardens

I just learned about milk wool—a synthetic fiber made from casein (milk protein) before most synthetic fibers became plastic-based. Developed in the 1930s as an alternative to wool, it was soft, breathable, and even had antibacterial properties. It fell out of popularity due to the rise of cheaper, petroleum-based synthetics but has seen some modern revivals as a sustainable textile. Now I really want to see what it feels like! One day, I’d love to make my own clothes from start to finish, and learning about alternative fibers like this makes that dream even more exciting.

Next weekend’s health research agenda includes diving into light bulbs and considering the cost/health benefits of changing out all my current bright bulbs to 2700k soft white bulbs - has anybody made the switch and noticed any difference in their circadian rhythms, eye strain, etc.?

ITAP of antique details in the Park Avenue Armory. I love pondering or learning about the history of why something was built, designed, invented in some way. I don’t like owning antiques but I really do enjoy finding little details out in the wild like this fun “hose” sign

Things I’d build if I had a workshop and a 3D printer: A CitiBike-specific handle extender so people (aka me) don’t have to hunch over just to reach the handlebars—functional, ergonomic, and saving backs one ride at a time. I’d design it to fold away neatly, keeping it sleek and non-bulky. Bonus features? A phone holder for those who don’t need the extension, and maybe hooks for coffee, tea, or a bouquet of flowers. Because practicality should still have a little romance. 💌

Little moments like this make life worth living—eating ice cream with my Farcaster friends while my calves get a deluxe compression massage. Peak relaxation, peak joy.

Walking through nyc in one of those rare, quiet moments—when the snow falls softly, dusting my eyelashes and cheeks like little kisses—feels like the purest kind of comfort. A reminder that I’m not alone, that the stars and snow are out too, like a quiet hug from the universe.
