I wish there was an easy way to tell who was the original artist and who is the dirty dirty theif on Red Bubble

Backdated thankfulness again... Monday: Thankful that I am still weaning myself off of social media. I read more than I post. After years of being multiple times a day poster it's sort of surprising to me that I can easily miss a few days now. Thankful that disengaging is working. #30DaysOfThanks

Thankful for the chance to see Little Women at Portland Center Stage. It was a unique take on it and a really talented cast. We don't have a free Sunday again until after Christmas and this was a good kickoff for that stretch. #30DaysOfThanks

Those of us who grew up in the church can identify.

Thankful for smoothly run errands this morning. Very little traffic, short lines, Brent drove. Followed by Michigan wins in Football and Hockey. Go Blue! As an extra, the women's basketball team showed incredible grit last night, thankful I get to watch them continue to grow. #30DaysOfThanks

Cucked for Cash coming this fall to the WB

No, that's okay, I didn't want to sit there anyway ...

It's going to be wild to watch the Truth posts from Trump about how horrible Mamdani is after watching him adore him in the video clips...

Thankful for hummingbirds at the feeder and raindrops on spiderwebs. The pictures aren't great because it's cold outside so they are through the window but trust me it's all lovely. Gearing up to write an emotional blog so thankful for a morning of beauty out the window. #30DaysOfThanks

Thankful that I'm done with that really long book (or I will be when I wrap it up as bedtime reading) Talented writing but SO MUCH OF IT. Sort of like getting bored chewing while eating a big salad. It's good but...so much Thankful it only took one more day instead of three! #30DaysOfThanks

Two two two jokes in one! My first thought was...overrated steaks everyone SWEARS are good on John Galt Blvd. Then when I said it to Brent he said "Who is John Galt?" Hahahahahahaha! He's funny even when he's been lucky enough to avoid Ayn Rand his whole life.

Poor baby. His brother has zero fucks to give about who was there first.

"As it is, Eternity is, at best, a film to watch only when other options have been exhausted. For example, it would be a good choice when you’ve already seen every other movie available on the in-flight entertainment menu." Which is a shame because I love Elizabeth Olsen.

Thankful for a quiet day reading. Trying to get through a REALLY long book. Another three days of doing nothing but reading should do it...maybe. #30DaysOfThanks

Turned off the basketball game at the half, they were up by 45 points so ... Turned on the USMNT game and they are up 4-0. So ... Go Blue! And, Pochettino? You could look happy about the score for just a moment. No joy.

Does not agree that 34 degrees is too cold to go out on the catio.

Not interested in me getting up to make dinner

This. Every word of this. Click through, read the whole thing, then go ahead and subscribe because he's very good at this.

TV is exciting today

Thankful that it's my game and so I make up the rules... Also known as I forgot to post my thanks yesterday. So backdated thankfulness. Thankful for a low key Sunday wrapping up some TV series we've been watching. #30DaysOfThanks

Yep

Working on their new album cover

Thankful for DVRs. Too many sports and not enough time slots today. Watching football live and on delay (even if it was SO STRESSFUL) meant getting to see the Thorns and the Wolverines. On to basketball and hockey! Thankful for good technology that we take for granted. #30DaysOfThanks

The news is just too exhausting...

Thankful for spotting these leaves the other day. They cracked me up because they made me think of friends who will hold on to summer with both hands. I don't care what you think I'M STILL GREEN! Even more pronounced today after the storm blew all the rest away. #30DaysOfThanks

This. This shouldn't be political. It should be the barest minimum of being a decent human being.

When tech companies watch Black Mirror and think....brilliant!!! I could flatter myself and think they've read some of my short stories as well but I'm pretty sure I personally know everyone who reads my stuff. 😂

Hahahahahahaha!!

Thankful for things that make me laugh. Doubly thankful for things that make me laugh that help other people. And no, I still don't drink wine. Ha! #30DaysOfThanks

Not even ashamed to be thankful for this: Luther is great but Alice... You know Brent is a rock because it doesn't phase him that I love her. Thankful for a new Luther film to look forward to. I might have even squeed when Brent showed me the headline last night. (Link in comments) #30DaysOfThanks

I'm glad Katie knew how to read before she started school. This blows my mind. Reading, like math, like science, is a building skill. You have to have the foundation right to move on to more complex things. Comprehension is impossible if you don't know the words. www.apmreports.org/episode/2019...

Well that was a nailbiter... Go Blue!

Thankful for my own personal vet on Veterans Day. Thankful Brent made the choice he did all those years ago that made my entire family possible. Happy Veterans Day to all who served. Thankful for you. #30DaysOfThanks

They're so sweet When they're asleep

Thankful for things that didn't happen. The Court declined to take up Kim Davis' latest "but I don't wanna" case and so for now marriage equity is safe. I'm not optimistic there won't be another challenge from another direction but for now I'm thankful that it's safe. #30DaysOfThanks

The lesson that should be learned here is when the Tea Party Republicans got big mad at their reps they primaried them all. They didn't win every election but enough to be sand in the gears. Then cycle after cycle they morphed into MAGA and now they run everything. Primary. Them. All.

Remember how hopeful we all felt on Tuesday? Yeah...

Thankful for a home playoff match. Beautiful weather. Beautiful result. The beautiful game. Thankful for the day and thankful for the win! #30DaysOfThanks

Hey! Want to never own your home? Want to pay so much in interest you're not sure why you think this is better than renting? Want to still have a mortgage long after retirement? Want to never turn a profit when you sell? If the answer is yes then we've got a deal for you!

Thankful the gardening is done, at least for a little while. I love having a pretty yard but I do not enjoy gardening. Always thankful when the chore of it is done. #30DaysOfThanks

Good article and good reminder that the NYT is not your friend. Source: Literary Hub search.app/AyDRs

Thankful for B1G+ Sort of I hate that I have to have 3 dozen streaming apps to watch what I want but also really thankful it's an option. Years of only getting to see highlights and final scores now replaced by actual games. Thankful for hockey and women's basketball coverage. #30DaysOfThanks

One of the cool markers of a @stephenking.bsky.social novel is reference to another novel that lets you know it's all one world. When @joe-hill.bsky.social does it too it makes me smile. It's fun and also seems like a lovely present for his father. Just started King Sorrow & already creeped out

Thankful for blogs to listen to while I workout. Two newish favorites are Alive w/ @steveburnsalive.bsky.social & It's Storytime w/ @wilwheaton.net Wil picked up the baton from LeVar Burton Reads and ran with it. Steve has a really calm vibe & covers diverse topics thoughtfully #30DaysOfThanks

Now, you might think the coyote isn't running his fastest, but don't worry, he's got a foolproof plan.

Reading results and posts about the results and positive takes on the results... Hope scrolling

Also a star on Cat TV this morning

Fascinating viewing this morning...

I know I sort of did this one yesterday but it was for the process, today is for the results. Thankful for the results from yesterday's elections. People turned out, showed up, and voted to hold on and push back. It's nice to feel hopeful. Keep it up. Thankful for all of you #30DaysOfThanks

Thankful that as of today we have elections that will have consequences. Locally there isn't anything major on the ballot but across the country there are major decisions being made & as of right now it seems like they will matter. Thankful for that & not taking it for granted. #30DaysOfThanks
