Well, so this happened today. A certain tuxedo needs to work on his tail management skills. #PlantSky, will my baby be okay?

One of Mom's quilt tops fits the dining room table perfectly ... could I turn it into a decorative table cloth? Give it a back, but no batting and bind the edges?

Watching Charlie wash his paws, as chill as if he had never been frightened by a snowblower and run from the room.

Just over here, looking at photos of beautiful cats which is the only thing the internet was ever meant for.

Busy morning in the garden. With everything buried in white, the bird feeder seems to have attracted every bird in the area. Jays, chickadees, juncoes, cardinals, finches ... all fluffed-up and patiently waiting for their turns at the feeder.

Scammed out of a $50 deposit for snow removal. They asked for a screenshot of the Venmo transaction and WOW RED FLAG, but by then it was too late. Learn from me, friends.

If only I could summon a dragon to clear the driveway, the afternoon would be perfect.

The birds in the yard look exactly like they've sprung from a Giovanni da Udine sketch, only greedier.

Spending the afternoon with bell hooks and the ghost of Robert Burns while the borbs continue their hostile takeover of the Japanese maple. It’s a fine line between 'natural beauty' and 'avian despotism.' ❄️📖

Beef stew simmering on the stovetop. Cats snoozing. Snow still falling.

It's been snowing heavily for hours and the fat little borbs are like "fuck it! eat all the birdseed!"

Grant me, indulgent Heaven, that I may live, To see the miscreants feel the pains they give; Deal Freedom’s sacred treasures free as air, Till Slave and Despot be but things that were. —Robert Burns, “Lines Inscribed in a Lady’s Pocket Almanac” #BurnsNight #C18 #poem

Baking "Giant Thin and Crispy Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies" from Edd Kimber's Small Batch Cookies for r/52WeeksOfBaking. The photo shows the cookies sprinkled with flaky salt, but the recipe doesn't mention it ... will sprinkle on halfway through baking and see what happens. #52WeeksOfBaking

Snowing and the Japanese maple is full of fluffed-up birds waiting for their turn at the bird feeder.

For #caturday a fresco of a winged putto riding a sea horse (check out his 🏊 swimming hooves!) & a lion by Raphael, Villa Farnesina, Rome. 🌽 Also, look at all the fruits & vegetables by Giovanni da Udine. 🗃️ #arthistory #skystorians #renaissance #academia #art 🏺 #lion #cat #cats

Started this snow day with avocado toast, a perfectly ripe banana, and Dear Hank & John (Dear John & Hank).

"The odds of men ... having the hostile toxic profile were higher for those who were older, single, unemployed, religious or in a minority ethnic group, as well as those high on scales of political conservatism, economic deprivation or emotional dysregulation, or who had a low level of education."

Do I need an transistor radio shaped like a Gulden's Mustard jar?

Baked Milk Street's Tahini and Browned Butter Cookies for tomorrow's baking club. They're dipped in bittersweet chocolate and sprinkled with sesame seeds for extra charisma. www.177milkstreet.com/recipes/tahi...

Pendleton's Midnight whisky is my new favorite. So very smooth and so warming. Just right for Big Sno Weather.

Hooray, I'm on the negotiation team for our next union contract!

Expecting big weekend snow? Fill up your bird feeders now.

Have you ever tried #bloomscrolling? Test it out on these beautiful images of flowers captured in the National Park over the seasons and see how it improves your mood. Have you been out in the Park today? Let us know if you spotted any early signs of spring in the comments below.

Look, I have a closet shelf full of fireworks and someday, preferably soon, I will have the opportunity to use them.

the image is from 2015 NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Closer Look: Majestic Mountains and Frozen Plains Sept. 17, 2015 www.jpl.nasa.gov/images/pia19... Somebody made a video of panning the image to make it appear that the video was captured by the orbiting Pluto mission.

My white holiday cactus (Schlumbergera) is doing its best, but is outshined by the pink this year. #BloomScrolling, not doomscrolling.

My bold pink holiday cactus is still going strong! #BloomScrolling, not doomscrolling.

I've watched too many adorable keycap videos and now I want a desktop setup again.

“Chocolate Cake With Raspberry Jam Filling” from Saura Kline’s Small Batch Baking: 60 Sweet and Savory Recipes to Satisfy Your Craving (Callisto Publishing, 2021). Egg and dairy free, it uses vinegar as a leavening agent. Very light cake with a mild chocolate flavor. #52WeeksOfBaking

Brisket in the oven! Cooks for three hours, covered, at 325F, then I'll make the mash and carrots.

Snowing again. Those big, puffy flakes that don't stick, but give everything that snow globe feeling.

Baking day! Starting with a simple chocolate cake filled with raspberry jam and fresh raspberries.

We are not subjects of a State founded upon law, but members of a society formed upon revolution. Revolution is our obligation: our hope of evolution.

A Northern Flicker (lower left), a bird who likes ants, was following around a Pileated Woodpecker, who was hammering out holes in tree while looking for ants. After the Pileated would leave a spot, the Flicker would check it out to see if there were any ants leftover.

Not me considering purchasing a stuffed ring-necked pheasant to peer down on us from atop the cabinet.

Organized a blood drive today—the Red Cross makes it easy and it's a bit of good I can do.

Okay, who else quickly glanced at this and thought "that looks like beautifully toasted, gooey cheese." Nobody?

The missing preposition continues to irk me.

Paczki is the house! It's a little weird, because as a child we never had paczki in the house, despite the home-made pirogi and kielbasa making their appearances every holiday.

Still thinking about the enormous wicker puppet used during the annunciation to the shepherds at yesterday's Boar's Head Feast. Dreadfully beautiful.

You either oppose the fascists or you are one, there is no in-between.

The results from my third mri have been sitting there, unread, at the health portal for two days and I have not looked because I am trying (trying trying) to be a different person, a person who waits for the call, not the person who gets all googly with science-based resources.

Feels like I need to torrent the entirety of The Great Pottery Throw Down.

My stomach literally GROWLED for the first time in months. It actually startled me. This is magnificent. Maybe some parts of me are beginning to work again? That would be nice, now it's the new Insurance Year (19 IYE).

Buckle up @jamesantill.bsky.social, we're making tuna and sweetcorn pizza this weekend.

I have a dim, dim memory of being able to purchase socks not by S: 5-7 but a decimal chart (?) where the shoe size might be 5 but the sock size was 7.5 and you could purchase that exact size? I was really into socks as a kid (shuttup) and I swear this was true in the late 80s?

My beloved introduced me to sweet corn and tuna, a combo I would never have thought of by myself.

My cat and I tripping at the same time is an Experience for sure.

We witnessed a once-in-a-lifetime event when two very different agave species bloomed side by side, an occurrence almost unheard of in the wild. With a little help (and some careful hand-pollination), we’ve sparked the beginning of a brand-new agave hybrid that may be completely unique.

Something something adhd sensory issue sock reels make me feel seen in a way that also makes me uncomfortable.
