Deep in Rural Virginia, a MAGA Pro-Gun Push Takes an Unnerving Turn

Recently in May '26

May was an incredibly packed month, which sort of explains why it took me so long to write this post. Now that I have some time to go through all the events, let's take a look back together, and go th…

Now

Trying to keep positive, while also being extremely productive, whatever "productive" actually means.

Now

Posting late, eating sandwiches, running in the Lakes, feeling doomed.

Now

Third installment of these things. Back into running, deciding to do the Bob Graham, getting things done. Feeling productive. Let's see if we can keep this up all year.

Now

Getting back into the rhythm of things, setting a routine, not getting bogged down by snow.

Now

A fell race, a bit of snow, a quiet weekend at home.

A Very Portland Weekend

The boy and I went to OMSI on Saturday while the girls did some crafts and made Christmas presents with a coworker. They have an exhibit called Monsters of the Abyss: Aquatic predators Past + Present

Now: 24 February - 2 March 2025

A harrowing ten minutes on Friday night.

Now: 17 - 23 February 2025

Going out in Durham to celebrate, using LLM tools for small tasks, embracing my position as DudeBro on the internet.

Now: 3 February - 9 February 2025

February's here. Easily the worst month of the year (sorry Valentine's Day enjoyers). Still dark, and as if on cue: here comes the wet weather, at last.

Now: 27 January - 2 February 2025

Watching TV, listening to podcasts, working on cars, going for runs. Yes indeed it's me.

Now: 20 - 26 January 2025

Storm Éowyn blew in and knocked over a shed. I tried to sort out some electronics and came across a very unfortunate fault.

Now: 13-19 January 2025

Quiet week. Ride my bike to work (well, to the train), lose my charger, go to Leeds (twice!).

Now: 6 - 12 January 2025

Our one Cold Week of the year saw me finishing my book and watching too much YouTube. At least I'm running consistently again.

Now

A visit to a bothy, listening to heavy music, finishing a tv series, a 5k PR, housework.

Now

Feeling crummy; finding the bright spots in an increasingly dark end of the year.

Now

It's getting cold. We're getting on with work around the house. I'm still training for a marathon. We got covid.

Now

Outside in the waning days of summer.

Now

Trying to get back into things that I stopped doing because of Malaise. It's going ok.

Now

Running, Zoe, leaps & bounds.

Now

Fellsman recovery, Bob Graham training, trip to the States, finishing the tiles (finally).
