In other news, my 3yo has declared that there’s a skunk in your butt and, let’s be honest, he’s probably not wrong

Me: Sister: what do you think about the escalation in Iran Me: I avoid the news on the weekends what do you— Also me: oh

"Unalive" "grape" "seggs" This has got to stop. Do people hear themselves? Its like talking to a particularly sensitive toddler. We can't remove serious words from our language just because we're afraid some fickle algorithm will show our posts to less people

"Bluesky doesn't have the juice." "Real media access is still only on Twitter." "No one important uses or will ever use this site." Skill issue. If you post good, the right people will figure out how to get in touch with you.

When your rambunctious 3yo refuses dinner (including his favoured green beans) and instead rises from the table, declaring, “I’m gonna go rest,” you definitely grab the thermometer. Yea-up, someone has a fever. Sounds like someone (read: me) has new plans for tomorrow!

My gym has a whiteboard where people can input their goals for 2026 and one reads, “7% bf” 😬 Not gonna knock someone else’s goals, but I’m really hoping that’s for a competition or something. I know men can go lower than women but even that seems unhealthy. But! Maybe I’m wrong!

Okay I know I said before that I found my LBS, but that was a lie because I found it today and, frankly, nearly walked out with a new bike only to stop and force myself to go home and consider it further.

Introducing 10 to Discworld and apparently we have to wait /26 weeks/ before he can borrow The Colour of Magic on Libby. The fuck you say??

Looks like five months until the century event that I’d like to target. I have a lot to do between then and now, most notably procure a bike, two pair of chamois, and a pair of shoes. I suppose I should also train some. I could do it outside an event but I like the community aspect of it! Pumped

ask your doctor if lying down in the forest to be consumed by the earth is right for you

One of the hardest things about being a parent, ime, is getting sick. You just want to melt into your bed and not move beyond adding to your pile of tissues and cough drop wrappers as the cats form a blanket over your legs, but instead you have to get milk/make dinner/check homework/play toys/read b

Okay, so. Despite my best attempts, I’m finally coming down with whatever sludge of a virus my kids have brought home (my husband’s already been claimed; I’m the last one standing & have been for /weeks/). My throat’s burning, I cough occasionally, my temp is up but not a fever But: hear me out—

My boss says I should take a day off because I haven’t in a good five months. Do I use it to hop on the trainer and see how far I can make it just for kicks? or Do I use it to open a bottle of wine, make crème puffs, and binge s4 of Bridgerton? There are never enough hours in the day 😭

Let's talk about the SAVE Act and the complete waste of time this bill is Let's use some recent data to make our points rather than just vibes The SAVE Act was passed by the House last week and includes provisions that require in-person document presentation for voter registration 1/

Just replaced my squats with Bulgarian split squats Let’s see how much I hate myself after this 😆

10 has been feeling really down lately—hard to tell if it’s because he’s edging closer to preteenager every day or if it’s something else—so we made bread, something he’s been wanting to do for awhile. I think it looks pretty good!

I randomly have today off work, so why am I up at 6 like usual? Oh, right, because both boys also have today off school/daycare for the same reason. So, even though it will be nearly 60 and sunny today, no long ride for me 😢 I need a self vacation

I think I'm becoming a little fixated on this bus stop. It's just so gnarly. Very #NOIR vibes ... even in colour! #Conwy #photooftheday #photograph

The last in my American birds series (not the last ever, just currently) is this dark-eyed junco. It's surrounded by a blossom of Autumnal leaves. I'm going to be starting a female cardinal today to add to the collection. #watercolours #birdart 🪶

It was -16C at the lake this morning but worth the wait for the sunrise, even with a slight shoulder injury after climbing over the rocks. 😂 #Scape #Sunrise #Photography #EastCoastKin

Mostly dahlias, watercolour and indian ink #floral #watercolour

When your husband notices you’ve been pouring from an empty cup and doesn’t accept any of your usual deflections when he says to go take a bath, it’s already ready, here’s some wine, I cleaned the kitchen, I’m taking care of dinner, Nathanson’s playing, bye

It’s not a contest bc it’s absolutely serious for anyone going through it but all I can see is “48 hours” & meanwhile both times I was there for 6 days after 6+ weeks of taking antibiotics & failing on them prior to that & okay you know what I think I might be done working for the day

Just came across an AITA thread where the OP was hospitalized with mastitis for 48 hrs and all the comments are like “you could have died” and “this serious af” and the memories this shit brought back slammed into me like a freight train

On this day in 1970, Charles Schulz replied to a 10-year-old kid who had written and asked, “What makes a good citizen?"

For sale: this mouthy af old man of a cat who won’t eat all of his wet food yet demands more of the same and gets offended when I don’t provide it (not really for sale but if he keeps yelling at me he’s gonna at least be in a time out I stg) ((taking suggestions on how to put a cat in time out))

Woke up this morning pretty convinced I’ll never be the mom that pop culture and social media have told me my kids deserve and like that’s fine on one hand bc to do that it’d be working two jobs on its own but otoh it makes me sad, like am I sure I can’t just work harder? So anyway, coffee

The theatre department at the university I work at is partnering with a local animal shelter to get some kittens adopted, and I got to make some portraits of them tonight. 📷 - Fuji GFX 100s II #Photography #Portrait #Cats #Fujifilm

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience

I lifted the last two days and am going to my HIIT class today despite my DOMS and tomorrow I’m doing nothing during my lunch hour except eating and reading, I promise

I don’t always have 7am meetings, but when I do and I get to see people halfway around the world celebrating and dancing and cheering each other on, I can’t help but cry Humanity, I still believe in you, even though you make it hard most days 🫶

Seriously one day I will learn and move my planks to the front of upper body day instead of the end after all the benching and skullcrushers and shoulder presses and so on but apparently today is not that day My WIS must be pretty low; brb how..to..improve..your..

anyone else get cravings for mustard or nah

The sky is a hazy blue and the sun is shining and I just want to hop on my bike and go—but it feels like 17*F and so I think I’ll just lift instead But oh, my mind winds me down pathways and under dappled shade just the same

Now I’m absolutely tempted to create a “depths of allrecipes” à la depths of Wikipedia and frankly I can think of worse use cases of my time

Browsing through recipes and came across this gem of an ingredient. Fun fact: this recipe serves 56 😆

Apparently the cure for my migraine was two Tylenol & sleeping almost 11 hours straight. I don’t recall the last time I got double digits’ worth of sleep at once

When your neighbor across the street sees you struggling to dig out your driveway after being plowed in for the second time in two days and comes over with their snow blower to whip through it for you, you make them some cookies in thanks. And if there’s some left for you, the more the merrier!

millions will stream sunday’s super bowl without seeing this ad.

Don’t mind me, I’m just gonna be over here in the corner with my burnout, mindin’ my own

Going the extra mile, only to find out there's another extra mile at the end of it. It just goes on forever.

thanks i hate it

My doctor’s office just sent us a notification saying they’ll continue to follow the AAP guidelines for childhood vaccination schedules and honestly I never thought we’d be here

It’s snowing Again Ad nauseam We had better have an incredible summer with like no bugs this year I stg
