I just took 7 or 8 new-ish books to Half-Price Books and got $15. Did I make money? No, absolutely not. Does it feel like I did? Definitely.

I was bored.

This bumper sticker is how I self-identify.

Prayer circle! Now!

I liked this mural I saw on the side of a store in my neighborhood.

It’s scientifically proven that the apple sauce you put on your oatmeal will taste better if you make it yourself with apples from a backyard tree.

I didn’t make this cake, but I’m posting it here so you think I did. (I did grow those flowers)

As a gift, I bought my niece a copy of a book I had when I was a kid. It’s out of print, so I had to buy a used copy. Whomever Sarah is, I think she’d be 35 or 36 by now.

It was an early and fish-scented morning at Pike Place Market.

Subtly downgrade a band: Death Uber for Cutie

If writing postcards is a lost art, well, then, I’m going to revive it.

Ah, fall, when a young man’s fancy turns to soup.

September afternoons at the off-leash dog park are perfect, in case you were wondering.

It would be a war crime for me to gatekeep the recipe for this coffee cake. It’s so good and so easy it must be widely known and used.

Please stop casting evil spells on me. It’s mean and it hurts my feelings

Which one are you choosing?

I have some hate in my heart but it's mostly for the term "workflow."

Main Cinema, Minneapolis

Tell me you’ve been cooking with turmeric without telling me you’ve been cooking with turmeric.

I really do think harvest time is the most beautiful time of year at the community garden.

Soon, you shall be pie.

Ah, yes, America, where we lock up $6 tubes of toothpaste.

Bought this because @smhrbst.bsky.social told me to. People in these stories email each other a lot. Does that still happen?

I’m pretty into using twine as ribbon lately because you can be generous with it.

Kinda digging this impromptu wrapping job for a just-because gift for my dad.

Lower your voice, ice cream bar. Jesus.

Still goes hard.

Hey, can somebody from Arizona tell me if Salt River Bars are an actual Grand Canyon State thing, or just something the Internet made up?

I don’t understand it, but I love it.

Made Flapper Pie. @henryevil.bsky.social and @tenraptors.bsky.social please confirm that I am now authentically Canadian.

I got to go to a vintage theater and drink tiny-ass cocktails and see Joe Fenti and you didn’t.

I don’t know, guys. It seems like the Gr*ndr bots aren’t even trying anymore.

@sophiegilbert.bsky.social’s book is engrossing and—if you participated in early 2000’s pop culture’s harmfulness to women like I did—a little hard to read but for good reasons.

I would not say I liked this movie. I would say seeing it was refreshing, in a way.

My brand as Eccentric Neighborhood Chicken Owner must be very strong because I am now in possession of one (1) rescued quail.

At 1:38 p.m., flossing my teeth seemed like a *very* important thing to do right this minute.

There have simply been too many dating and relationship trend articles recently. I cannot keep up. I cannot!

What’s that blog or Tumblr or social media account about liminal spaces or whatever? Someone should go put this there.

People always ask me, ‘Why are you so good at wrapping baby gifts?’

Whomever does this sign just comes up with banger after banger. It’s seriously all hits, no misses.

How does one lose a turtle?

Hi, it’s me, your local farm wife. As soon as I finish bundling up these herbs I grew in my garden, I’m going to churn butter and make something out of calico.

There is a $4.95 convenience fee and a 2.4% card charge to renew your license tabs at the automated kiosk (which doesn’t accept cash). But mailing a paper check, which takes an actual human being to process, doesn’t come with extra fees beyond the price of a stamp. Make it make sense.

‘Why, yes, I did use cherries from my backyard tree and eggs from my own chickens to make this Sour Cherry Crumb Cake. How did you know?’

‘You want this egg, pal? Well, come and get it. I dare you.’

I asked @gretakaul.bsky.social and she said she would live in a koloniträdgårdar with me. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/08/w...

Lime scooters were created by a witch

Gift article for a really refreshing hot-weather drink I tried today and immediately thought, ‘This one’s a keeper.’

I chuckled. It should be ‘closely,’ but I chuckled.

What good is having a backyard cherry tree if you can’t use it to feed your flock?
