I’m really proud of myself. I called my mechanic today to ask if they could send a person to jump start my car. I love my mechanic but I HATE making phone calls. The answer was no, but I DID NOT DIE 🎉 I’ll have to remember that next time I have to call someone! Now waiting for roadside assistance 🙏🏻

Folks, it's a gorgeous day and I'm stuck in my office wistfully looking out the window with a wide open afternoon and nothing to do. Let's pass the time with a little Q&A if you feel so inclined! Obviously food but also let's talk music, sports, wrestling (pre-2020), TV, video games etc.

NW: Seven Samurai (1954) #Kurosawa #TCMParty #SevenSamurai

I’ve been taking a slightly more challenging yoga class on Sundays for just over a month. Today in the more intense class, I noticed that the less intense class I’ve been taking twice a week has started to feel… insufficient, not challenging enough. 1/3

Most modern day pro-wrestling bores me to tears. But THIS… this AAA mascara contra mascara match is 👩🏻‍🍳💋

Yet emerging research and autistics' own experiences suggest screen use can also support stress regulation, social connection, learning, and mental health. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Every time I see the Google Cloud AI commercial on MLB Network (showing “players who did X also did Y”), I wanna scream “Correlation does not equal causation!! These stats mean NOTHING!”

I took a video of our patio container garden to show my parents (they’re unlikely to travel here again due to health reasons). Figured I’d share it with my BlueSky peeps too! Sound on to hear what each plant is 🪴 #GardenSky #GardenZone10a #ContainerGarden

And now we’re watching The Naked and the Dead (1958). How could I not be immediately hooked by this intro: “A green lieutenant comes up against incompetent officers and a sadistic sergeant during WWII.” #TheNakedAndTheDead #TCMParty
