Yesterday, it was 70 degrees and we had a storm that had 90 degree winds. Today, it's in the low 40s and I've got a fire going in the woodstove again. The joys of spring in Michigan.

Flower, one of my many forever kitties, absolute brat, very rare picture because she usually runs from the camera.

Today is another paper writing day. This time, on "free will" for metaphysics. One of the particularly irksome things about this class is that the professor assigns the readings and you're not allowed to use other sources for your arguments, and I have two decades of studying philosophy independently that I have to basically ignore while writing papers.

Living is hard, but dying would be a pity.

It's spring. The crocuses, hyacinths, and lilies are starting to sprout out from the soil. Already having days where it's warm enough to get outside and work in the yard. A huge relief that I *can* get out and work in the yard after last spring's abrupt turn into a bedridden summer. Touching grass is actually sacred.

I made it through the winter without a furnace. Helps that I have a woodstove, so daily fires kept me toasty warm. And now it's spring, the temps are warming up, and I get to start working out in the yard again. Miss it so much - last spring, I broke my leg and was bedbound most of the summer, then spent the fall learning to walk again.

Breaking my brain with readings on metaphysical freedom this week. Aka "do we actually have free will?"

This semester, I'm taking a metaphysics class with the same professor I had for political philosophy last semester. The one who assigns an insane amount of reading and requires handwritten notes be turned in for all of them. I'm a bit of a masochist... Currently working on my paper on time travel. Because sometimes masochism ends up being oh so good.

Weekly AMA! It's exactly what it sounds like. Ask me anything. About content creation. About my weird life as a self-vowed hermit nun devoted to a made up deity. About going back to college to finish a bachelor's degree in middle age not for a career pivot, but for fun. About anything you've seen me cast about. Or really, about anything at all.

Scheduled weekly reminder that weekends are slow around Farcaster, so if your engagement is down the next couple of days, that's why. You can either use the slowdown to step away from social for a bit, or you can use it to dig into some channels you don't usually visit and surface some new great content and make some new connections with the other weekenders.

I started smoking weed before it was legal in my state when you had to pay premium prices unless you wanted to play the "what did they lace it with" roulette wheel with untrustworthy sources. Today, I can get 50 prerolls for $50 and cartridges on sale for $5 🤣 Capitalism might suck overall, but it sure did good for pot prices.
