  1. I love it when more than one person on my feed talks about the same random thing at the same time.

    We need a word or phrase to describe this phenomenon. If you’ve heard a good one or want to make up a new slang term, please share. I will use it!

    (But I hate seeing friends getting hurt, so I declare this trend officially over. 😂 Be safe out there, everyone. )

  6. The Accidental Phone Call

    LovePhone by kmls

    She misdialed a number, she said,
    but not really.

    So we reminisced about old times,
    the good work we did together,
    where our coworkers are,
    what our children are doing.

    Organizations end,
    but relationships don’t have to.
    I can do better at staying connected.

    I can be more intentional,
    while at the same time
    knowing that
    on this journey
    there are no
    accidental phone calls.

  7. On the Fediverse I'm un-algorithmized, but even so, seeing a surprising number of croque-monsieur posts recently.

  8. A quotation from Emerson

    Shallow men believe in luck, believe in circumstances — it was somebody’s name, or he happened to be there at the time, or it was so then, and another day would have been otherwise. Strong men believe in cause and effect.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
    Essay (1860), “Worship,” The Conduct of Life, ch. 6
