Praise then darkness, and creation unfinished

another icon post

This image of a clenched fist on a rainbow flag background speaks for itself, I think. You may be seeing a lot of it. Assume anything with this icon is political.

The image is a lapel pin/button I picked this up at Boston Pride a couple of weeks ago. It's the version of the rainbow flag with brown and black stripes, to be more inclusive of people of color.

ETA: Obviously, I have no claim on this image; if anyone else wants to use this icon, help yourselves.

not-so-gratuitous icon post

I am tempted to make this my default icon, even if it's less obviously me than either the coelacanth (which looks nothing like me, but I've been using for years) or the photo of me in papersky's kitchen.

There probably isn't room in the icon space for something that is both clearly me and suitably political. "Suitable" in this context means something explicitly anti-fascist, anti-racist, feminist, and/or anti-Trump.

workout

Another workout with weights as well as the balance stuff. It feels as though I'm getting back to things I'd let go/reduced while working with Emilie and focusing on the things she's taught me. (Not all of them; I'm not trying the leg press again until I see her and she can check my form.)

I've been thinking I need a new workout/gym icon; this one is several years old.

( cut for details )

The lists of how many things I'm doing are looking long, but the sessions aren't getting much longer. That's partly that there are a lot more things I'm doing relatively few of, and partly that I'm still doing only a little cardio, to save time (and in this case because I didn't have anything interesting to read; settled for the gym's copy of a recent issue of New York magazine, an article about whether parenthood makes people happy, and what it means that the only study where parents reported themselves as happy as non-parents was from Sweden, with good parental leave, day care, and health care.
