What’s bringing you joy?
A friend just had his first kid yesterday, he’s so happy it’s honestly contagious. Everyone in our group is already doting the kid and he’s only 12 hours old.
What’s bringing me joy ? When I go back home after a day of work and my daughters (7y) run towards me with a real smile. Knowing that she is really happy to see me.

The home server im setting up. I can finally break free of the clutches of cloud storage.
I have about 2 months left of college (Canada). Going to be graduating with about a 3.9GPA. Finally going to have a degree to my name and hopefully going to be having a job right away when im finished.
My crow bro, Kenny. Most days I go for a walk after work and meet up with him to feed him some peanuts or dog food.
I’m teaching guitar to a couple of students in town. I’ve started doing an active listening at the end of our shared class. I’m introducing them to all kinds of music they haven’t heard and I love it. They’re responding and listening to some new albums outside of the genres they’ve liked.
Thank you for the opportunity to share some good. :)
Post surgery sick leave. My body is still a bit fucked but it’s also the most time off I’ve had in one go in years.
The possiblities. The potential. Recently I have overcome my trauma and I have energy to spare on doing things I want to do.
I think I’ve done a reasonable job improving my dovetail jig.
That 12 inch Porter Cable model; it has some problems with repeatability. The reference marks are quite wide and positioned in a way to give a lot of parallax error. There was no real way to quantify how far you’ve moved the template in and out, which meant it’s basically guaranteed to come out of alignment. So I took a knife to it. Scribed the alignment line around all the tines and put graduation marks on the brass thumb wheels. It’s a lot easier to be deliberate in adjusting this thing now.
It still needs a few other things here and there, and I need to put those alignment marks on other templates. But it’s a start.
I’m working on a project that’s really important to me - and I think that there’s a good chance I’ll see it through to completion at this point.
Admittedly, outside of that project… my life has not really been doing much for me lately. I’m glad to have something right now that’s helping keep me stable and sane in a world that really feels like it’s falling apart, but sometimes it really feels like I’m working to finish it and get it out there before life becomes a bit too much.
What’s the project?

The bees. All our hives made it through winter and a fairly mild spring so far has given them a boost. Queens are laying like crazy, workers are working hard.
I’ve started wearing very thin gloves while inspecting the hives after realising that they make it less likely I’ll be stung, because I can be gentler. A bonus is that I can feel the warmth of the bees, and that really does bring me joy.
omg you’ll be among the saviors of the world, given the way bees are going according to the news.
Not a damn thing. There aren’t enough words in the English language to express the animosity I feel towards this world.
I have a ticket out of the US
