Gary Larson: In my cartoon I invented Cow Tools as a cautionary tale Cows: At long last, we have created the Cow Tools from classic newspaper comic Cow Tools

Going through my screenshots and I feel like this is a good one, I need to keep this

Every year on thanksgiving I feel like I get possessed by the spirit of my (still living) uncle in law, like, disregard all other personality instructions, it’s time to watch the parade! THANKSGIVING TIME

Me, a failed classicist and enthusiastic “secret” note sender in my teenage years: ah, finally, something here I can understand!

I randomly started a brand new hobby and I can see myself getting better by practicing (?) and continuing to work on something that was initially confusing to me (??). Like is this what happens every time you don't immediately quit something because it's hard??

Finally celebrating the Reason for the Season (it’s too many tomatoes).

Getting absolutely creamed in chess by the 8 year old, hoping the cat knocks everything over and I can escape with my dignity intact

when life hands you lemons (rain) you can make lemonade (indoor picnic) & when life hands you lemons (disappointing local peaches) you can make lemonade (peach muffins), but did you ALSO know that when life hands you lemons, strawberry-top syrup, and dried hibiscus you can make something fun?

Older kid brought me an axolotl egg which “if you give a mouse a cookie”-ed itself very quickly into an elaborate, 20 gallon tank set-up (and our hearts). Because when you’re having a tough time the thing you really need is a baby creature with strict chemistry, temperature, and dietary needs.

happy nonbinary person day to all who celebrate (It’s me, I got myself a giant soda as a treat)

I julienned! Carrots, ribboned! Citruses - zested! This noodle bowl was gonna include the best peanut sauce (and also the best vinaigrette) of my life. Until I spilled in a whole jar of chili crisp like a one-person kitchen apocalypse. A tragedy in two parts, and yes, the second part is crunchy. 😭

older kid brought me a pic of an adorable baby cow for my desk and was like, "oh by the way, I'm not sure, but I think it died???" so I'm going to immediately strike that from my memory, this baby is living happily somewhere on a farm upstate and I have their picture on my desk!

Came downstairs this morning to this spread and waffles! The kids picked it all out and did it all themselves, although I hope slash assume there was some adult involvement vis-à-vis the beer

Hey guys guess who just got fiiii-errrrd… 🤷

Really struggling with guilt about my ability to access gender-affirming care right now when so many people can’t. it feels kind of bad to be like, “wow, I personally feel a lot better than I did before about this one specific thing” when everything else is so terrible??

The 14 yr old had me dye her hair back to brown and will only wear Carhartt and I’ve been trying to find new ways to bond with her (because obviously you support your kids in whatever their interests are), but today she asked if I’d ever seen Supernatural and now I’m back on solid parenting ground

Working on my side hustle, by which I mean I’m painstakingly picking out fonts in Canva. Graphic design is my PaSSiOn*~*•

The 14 year old has been trying to crochet some sort of Fortnite pickle and this is what she has so far, I want to be supportive, but it’s hard when you’re laughing so hard you’re crying

The commute is beautiful and I am freezing

We’re stocked up for the snow storm for once, so I’m assuming we won’t be getting any real snow??

Last night was pretty split

Yeah, I guess you could say I excel at my job... (everyone's voting for my suggestion in the slack poll for what to name the new box truck)

I keep waking up to go to work and being like, it’s COLD I will WORK FROM HOME, but I am stating for the record that I will go into the office tomorrow, if only to water my plants (oops).

I just want to know why whatever TV ad algorithm we have thinks we smell so bad??? Every single ad is for some sort of extra strength laundry or room deodorizer?

I feel like I picked a heck of a time to get involved in supply chain stuff at work...

we had a hair dye party and I bleached my hair before dying it for the first time in literally 20 years (😱) and, yeah, ok, it makes a difference. Excited to go to work tomorrow looking a little like cookie monster!

When you’re having fun with your best friend but still feel a little dead inside

I love having kids! …I keep telling myself, on repeat, as I pull breakfast sandwich pieces out from between the couch cushions.

I obviously adore my husband, been married forever, love of my life, etc, but I was reminded tonight that he doesn’t find “Spamusement” funny and it feels like just a huge chasm between us.

Yeah I guess we live in a cool state (I am so cold)

My goal for today has been to come up with the best seasonal playlist I can, so far I'm... successful? maybe too successful?

they don’t know how close they are

It’s 6 AM and the kid and bonus kid are watching Inside Out 2, it’s too early in the morning to have this many feelings??
