Other friend is splitting up from her husband and buying her own house and I get to help her design it!!

Happy Rosh Hashanah y'all.

Remember the end of “A Bug’s Life”? When the ants realized that all together they were stronger than one big grasshopper bully? And so there was no reason for them to let the bully order them around? And that the bully *knew this all along* and his whole operation was to keep them from seeing it?

It's all fun and games until a cop handles a Tylenol gelcap with no gloves and within seconds their socks are bothering them.

Even though jimmy is back, keep those subs deactivated. Make those mfs feel it for a few quarters like target.

For the "frequent rapture" customers 👇

36 (multiple of 18, because Judaism, son!) braided round challah rolls all done to take to work with apples and honey.

Happy new year slash rapture

most underrated addition to a turkey sandwich is, imho, a few slices of crisp, sweet apple

Oh no I was supposed to paint my nails but I drank a CBD seltzer and I fear if I try racing against the clock I will lose.

Higgins is in Cambridge this week So I’m geobaching and have reverted to my natural goblin self. Have cooked one large pan of food that I will eat all week.

so the president just tweeted out an offense worse than watergate, we all realize that right?

I completed repairing and refinishing a dresser for my friend! bsky.app/profile/shad...

LOOK AT HER

Hideous blue dresser update. It’s going to a forever home this weekend so I sanded and stained the top a dark walnut. Getting new hardware holes and sprayed black tomorrow when I finish work, then sealed on Saturday and delivered on Sunday.

Ironically, had the Kirk assassination not happened, the three big stories this past week would have been. -The Trump birthday note -Trump tells Republicans not to negotiate with Democrats (which likely kills Obamacare subsidies) -The CPI report shows tariffs are affecting inflation

Some progress. The tan dressers should be ready to deliver to my friend and her fiancé next weekend, just needs the gold ribbed pumpkin pulls installed and a coat of satin poly sprayed. The French provincial dresser will be painted black with a stained wood top &will go live with my other friend

One day, nearly 2000 years ago, a cat dashed across some drying tiles, somewhere near Hadrian's Wall. It's immortality of a kind, isn't it?

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

No war but Groyper vs MAGA war

Violating my "no Bluesky during football season" tenets to parachute in and say that my weird obsession with far right splinter groups and their shibboleths has finally made me the expert on something. The shooter wrote 4 shitpost memes on bullets and every single one of them is a dumb groyper meme

Why?

Sorry, folks. Sounds like the civil war has been postponed due to white shooter

Husband math: This uber is $45! We will go to the bar and spend $40 on drinks until the uber is only $30.

Post a team you would send instead of Bongino and Patel

One of my favorite memes....

How incapable is the entire administration not to mention Utah’s law enforcement apparatus that it falls to the president to go on the news and say they have a suspect in custody?

Oops I did it again

Charlie Kirk in 2023: "It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment." He was wrong. No child, no moviegoer and no conservative commentator should have to die to maintain this perverted notion of the 2nd Amendment.

Since nobody gave a shit about Big Balls getting beat up by a teenage girl, I do fear this will be their Reichstag Fire moment.

THE LUDDITES WEREN'T ANTI TECHNOLOGY (Also, they were right!)

This is very accurate

Friends, my summer vacay is over. I got a new job and I’m starting tomorrow. Very much appreciate @froggybanjo.bsky.social giving me the opportunity to stay home, relax, pursue hobbies, bake bread, and heal from burnout.

“No more foreign wars,” as the monkey’s paw curls shut.

A wedding gift in progress for a friend, for the cost of primer and paint. Ultimate plan is the Pottery Barn Seadrift finish.

I was taught that the story of Sodom is about at what point the predominance of exploitation and cruelty in a society becomes high enough that it corrupts good people faster than they can change it. And also that it relates to why you need a minyan (10 people) for some Jewish practices. (thread)

And I made way too many nachos so they will be repurposed as chilaquiles for breakfast! The hotel we stayed at in Mexico this past spring served chilaquiles every day and we enjoyed them.

Found fresh corn tortillas and Oaxaca cheese yesterday which led me to make chicken tinga for tacos last night. Tonight we used the leftovers for nachos. Spectacular dinner.

How it started - how it’s going, and going, and going Two rounds of chemical stripper, a lot of scraping with a painter’s tool, finally had to take a heat gun and a slotted screwdriver to the detail bits to get the paint out

The less fun part of restoring furniture. Wedging glue into cracks and clamping it to death

Drop an old person you’re going to turn into in the future.

And we are finished! Plus a little blast from the past.

Yesterday museum, today flea market! Empty nesting is pretty dope.

"there is nothing in the middle of the road but yellow lines and dead armadillos" is an absolute banger and belongs on either a battle jacket or a very punk cross stitch sampler

Ethan Hunt ass squirrel

Thrifted these rad lamps yesterday

Having been working on furniture in the garage for the past few weeks, I now scan the skyline with no clue of what’s going on. My desire to remain sane is currently outpacing my desire to be informed and I hope it stays like this for a while.

Final coat of danish oil applied. I’ve decided to keep the existing hardware for now, but I cleaned it with Dawn dish liquid to degrease; after cleaning it looked dull so I rubbed it with Howard’s Feed n Wax then buffed. I have black lacquer spray paint in the garage but I think I like this finish.
