D&F 11-29-20

Greetings from the tail-end of a vacation week for your hostess. I celebrated my birthday on Thursday with a couple friends, a couple bottles of wine, 5lbs of mashed potatoes, and 6’ of distance.

A strange year, but thus far 36 is a good one.

Friday saw those friends, save one who took care of Snorri, going on a long backpacking hike to camp near Cache Creek in -1C conditions. BRR!

It was a seriously good time, but also I’m completely destroyed as I write this on Saturday night.

How was your weekend?

Let’s hit the links!

Links

  • I’ve loved the two albums by Adrianne Lenker (better known for her work leading Big Thief), and this Tiny Desk concert was no exception:
  • Remember when Fiona Apple dropped her latest album, and everyone wondered who Shameika was? It turns out she’s a very talented and rad lady. I love that their former teacher reconnected them, and that Shameika showed a little kindness to a shy, scared girl in school.
  • Thought about “doing a blog”, but you don’t want to use Squarespace or really think too much about it? Especially if you’re interested in something like Tumblr, but not ruined, check these two out: blot.im and tray.club.
  • It’s never a bad time to go visit McMansion Hell. I don’t want to spoil it, but I love “bad vibes core”.
  • Don’t miss the McMansion Hell writer’s great article on weird minimalist decorating.
  • Not just a great sexual identity anymore.

Closing

I’m wiped! I think I might be in bed before 1am tonight, which is rare. Are you reading anything cool, or watching anything good? Let me know

I hope you enjoy your Sunday, stay safe, and keep learning and loving, space cowgirls~
