A murmuration
Opens eyes wide and crusty.
Quell these restless thoughts.

Tender and creative is the night: on the benefits of insomnia | Aeon Essays After years of insomnia, I threw off the effort to sleep and embraced the peculiar openness I found in the darkest hours

"I’ve had #insomnia for 25 years. Three years ago, after a series of bereavements, I stopped battling my #sleeplessness. Instead, I decided to investigate my #night #brain, to explore the curious effects of #darkness on my #mind.": buff.ly/h08YqJJ

Whispering Plumes "The image captures a serene cluster of pampas grass, tall and elegant, with feathery plumes that rise like soft, wind-stirred torches. Each plume is a delicate brush of light tan and cream, their fibers fine and wispy, catching the air as if mid-whisper. They sway gently, not in chaos but in rhythm — a quiet choreography against a backdrop of lush green foliage, which frames the scene with depth and contrast. The grasses stand tall, some arching slightly, their stems slender but sturdy. The light seems to soften as it touches them, giving the plumes a silken glow, like the down of a bird or the fringe of a well-worn shawl. There’s no sky in view — only the intimacy of the grasses and the green behind them, creating a sense of enclosure, like a hidden garden or a quiet corner of a field. The overall mood is gentle, ornamental, and timeless, with the grasses offering both structure and softness. It’s a portrait of stillness in motion — nature’s way of being dramatic without shouting." - Microsoft Copilot

Good morning. 😴🥱☕

26 January 2026

I’m up extra early this morning. Woke a little before four, got a drink of water, laid back down — but sleep wasn’t coming.

Having one of my #insomnia nights so I've taken to #BlueskyAtNight to talk about it. You have my utmost sympathy if you're a similar sufferer and yes I have tried #everything in the past. When you can't #sleep you can't sleep #sleeplessness #awake #woke #woken #CountingSheep

It's way too early to be up but I work a random day shift tomorrow, so maybe this lack of sleep will help me sleep tonight. Ha. Right. 🙄 #sleeplessness

It's 4 am and I've been awake since about 1:30. Why? Coughing.

No cough right now though. But my anxiety brain is working overtime. Worried about money, my partners, my country, the world.

Anyway.

Happy Lammas! Blessed Lughnasadh!
