The fact that the humans care more about daylight savings than saving the lives of the innocent is, to me, completely bonkers.
Daylight savings is an aberration, much like war.
-
My dogs are going to be a real pain tomorrow morning. They can tell time - by their own clocks. In the Spring it isn’t as if they refuse to eat one hour earlier than they think the time is.
-
They call it "changing the clocks for daylight saving time", I call it "poor man's jetlag". Even if you cannot afford a long flight, you get to experience jetlag twice a year.

Having an after-lunch nap to reclaim some of the hour that was rudely robbed from me last night #daylightSavings

(*but then also #daylightsavings ends :blobcat_cry: no more long evenings)

I’m sorry clock. I know you insist it’s 7AM. But my body and the sun very much disagree. I don’t know who gave you the idea that we should time travel, and feel jet lagged, without the benefit of a tropical locale and being waited on, but this is bullshit and must stop.

Daylight Savings Time is Capitalism's way of reminding you profit comes before people.

Now accepting bets on how long it will be before I discover at least one timekeeping device in my house I failed to change to #daylightSavings
N.B.: The car doesn't count. It's not in the house. It'll get changed in…well, May is typical.

"Nearly half past noon and I'm only just now, finally, getting some tea into my face" is *not* what I wanted out of life.
Curse you, #DaylightSavings! 👊🏻

BeetBear wants to know how he is supposed to adjust the sundial for Daylight Savings Time if we haven't seen the sun for several days now. We'll just have to keep using last year's saved daylight for a while yet.

As I was stumbling around the house glaring at the dumb clocks that don't update themselves, I noticed that the clock in my office has stopped. again. I never look at it anyways, so in an act of open rebellion I removed the battery. From now on it will be right twice a day.

Ugh, time changes. Not a fan. 🥱😠 #DaylightSavings

Good Morning #Canada
I think I slept in this morning... or maybe I woke up early. This confusion is typical across Canada except in Saskatchewan, and going forward British Columbia.
With B.C. officially freezing their clocks on UTC-7, will the rest of Canada follow along? It's a "Maybe" for Alberta, Ontario and Quebec, but no plans everywhere else.Here's the latest information on #DaylightSavings in Canada. Included is this interesting fact nugget. Port Arthur, Ontario (now part of Thunder Bay), was the first municipality in the world to enact daylight saving time, on July 1, 1908, a full decade ahead of most of the country.
I think if we really want to send a message to the U.S. we should eliminate Daylight Savings from the entirety of Canada. Let them deal with the confusion of time changes and cost to update software applications.

“…Permanent standard time would lower the nationwide prevalence of obesity by 0.78 percentage points and the prevalence of stroke by 0.09 percentage points, conditions influenced by circadian health. These seemingly small percentage changes in common conditions would amount to 2.6 million fewer people with obesity and 300,000 fewer cases of stroke.” https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2025/09/daylight-saving-time.html #DaylightSavings

The Dark Time
The title sounds so ominous!
As we in the United States once again complain about having to change the clocks, this time back an hour which is easier to adjust to than “springing forward” in March, here is a great article about time and work from an Indigenous perspective. Because changing the clocks twice a year is all about capitalism, of course.
James and I celebrate the Wheel of the Year and for the last few days we have been celebrating Samhain. Contrary to what some may think, this is not the same as Halloween, nor does it last for just one day. It is a season, from now until Winter Solstice, and the festival for celebrating is from October 31st through November 2nd. Though there is much lost to the murkiness of time and colonialism, so those who celebrate have the room to make of the holiday what they will.
For James and I, Samhain marks the beginning of the dark season. Even though the clocks were set back today, very soon I will be bike commuting to work both ways in the dark or near dark. The trees are dropping their leaves and soon will be bare bones. The color gradually leaves the world to become monochromatic. It used to be I could depend on brilliant blue skies, but increasingly with climate change, these months have become cloudier, denying relief from the monochrome.
The dark season is a time of rest and dreaming. Aside from a few more outdoor tasks I need to do like raking leaves off the sidewalk, my work in the garden is done. Now it is my turn to withdraw, bury myself as it were, in the dark like a seed. It is a time to plant intentions that I hope will sprout and grow strong when light and warmth return.
It is also a time for roots, for remembering ancestors—blood ancestors, spiritual ancestors, and more-than-human ancestors. So it was truly wonderful Thursday night at sangha that we did the Five Earth Touchings. Buddhism always honors ancestors, but Samhain is not the particular time of year for Buddhist ancestor ceremonies. So it was a happy coincidence. The prostrations that accompany the Five Earth Touchings were especially moving. I felt grounded, solid, full, and content at their completion. I will make sure this becomes part of Samhain every year.
In addition, James and I like to recall and honor family who have died by eating food in remembrance of them. Perhaps not so coincidentally, Lit Hub posted a lovely article about how food invokes memories of loved ones. Our celebration generally involves making a meal or dish that was a favorite of someone, or that reminds us of them. Last year we had cinnamon toast in remembrance of my Granny who always made it for me and my sister when she babysat us. It wasn’t quite the same since we didn’t slather it in butter, but the spirit of it was there.
This year James made a kugel. His family makes kugel with wide, flat egg noodles, a creamy custard-like “sauce,” and raisins. There has to be raisins. James had to turn out a vegan version. Sadly, there are no vegan-style “egg” noodles so we had to go with fettuccine noodles instead. For the creamy custard “sauce,” he made sunflower seed-based cream. For something like this cashews are the standard choice in vegan recipes, but we don’t buy cashews because the company our food co-op gets organic cashews from cannot confirm that all of their nuts are processed on machines and not by people who might be suffering from burns and skin rashes due to the toxic oils in cashew shells. Nor can they confirm that people were paid a fair wage. So we don’t buy cashews. We have used hazelnuts in the past as well as almonds, but the price of organic nuts these days has increased astronomically and we only buy them as a treat if they are on sale, which they were not when we went grocery shopping. So we use sunflower seeds, which are still inexpensive and do the job just fine.
Just like Auntie used to make!It all came out great! When James took the first bite he said it tasted just like he remembered it should. His aunt always used to make kugel for holiday gatherings. Pre-vegan days I got to enjoy her kugel at a Passover dinner. So today we remembered Auntie Margo and a few other of James’s kin who have passed. It’s good to remember.
In bookish things, Rakesfall by Vajra Chandrasekera won the Ursula Le Guin Prize. He made a wonderful acceptance speech (skip to minute 7 to get to his speech) which made me like him even more. I have read both The Saint of Bright Doors and Rakesfall and liked them both. They are strange and different and all about power and subverting power, time, memory, and creating worlds. Rakesfall is not an easy book to read and I like that Chandrasekera makes no apologies for it. I like that he demands the reader do some work in the mutual creation that is fiction. And I like that his books are truly different from so much of what is published these days. I am so very tired of the usual sorts of fantasy and science fiction that treads the same plots with only slight shifts in things like gender.
Rakesfall is the only one of the Le Guin shortlist I have read, but I have several of them on my TBR, in particular Blackheart Man by Nalo Hopkinson and The Sapling Cage by Margaret Killjoy. Hopefully I will be able to at least get to these before the next prize list is up in 2026. If you are a reader, you know how it goes.
A large chunk of my day today was taken up by chores and the final Beloved Community Circle cohort training. The trainings have been great and I have learned quite a lot about creating a very specific kind of community. It’s been a joy taking what I have learned back to my own Circle and sharing it with them. We are working towards becoming more deliberate in getting to know one another well and also creating practices around decision making, communication, and conflict resolution. It is work, but it is rewarding work.
So that’s it for today. Rest, dream deeply, and plant the seeds of your aspirations.

Reminder to most* of those in the U.S., we just "gained" an hour this past night:
https://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst/
and, as always, the current time in the U.S. can be found here,
#Time #Date #DateTime #DST #DaylightSavingTime #DaylightSavingsTime #DaylightSavings

#DaylightSavings time ends & #StandardTime starts again later tonight on Sun 11/2 at 2am.🙄
I don't NEED & will not get any extra hour of sleep because I will wake up as usual at 7am DST (which will be 6am ST) & I'll just watch TV & troll SFBA.social & the other fave sites on my phone in bed to kill the extra hour.
No additional productivity will result from this. 🤷♂️
So, let's stop f*cking with the clock, & just leave it on DST or ST, whichever the "experts" think is best but just pick one & be done with it. 😡

The problem is that it's 7:30 and I want to go to bed. But I have to mentally pretend that it's 6:30, which is really just too early to crawl into bed, isn't it?

I don't know about the rest of most of you here in the US and Canada, but this 49 hour weekend we have coming up is absolutely NEEDED.

To avoid total pet* carnage this weekend with the clock change, I've been moving the little furballs' meal time by 10 minutes a day for a few days.
I did, however, forget to tell the dear Fediverse until today. Soz.
Northern Hemisphere - 10 mins forward
Southern Hemisphere - 10 mins backHopefully, they won't pester us awake an hour early on Sunday morning!

Europe ends Daylight Savings Time this weekend (October 26) and the US and Canada follow the next weekend (November 2). Thus we enter the semi-annual weeks when no one can schedule a meeting with someone in either of those territories accurately.

Daylight savings time shifts our clocks around, but our circadian rhythms are also shaped by the natural world we belong to.
Gaian meditation encourages getting outdoors morning, noon, and evening - to observe, breathe, and reconnect with the real, natural world. A practice good for what one might call our soul, but also essential for our overall health and wellbeing.
