There’s so much Miller on the timeline, cleansing with Dolly Parton and a cat ✨

we put on a youtube of a guy playing singing bowls and Moo passed the fuck out

We all as a group agree that going to bed at 5:30 is not good and yet here I am lying in the dark with two sleepy puppies in my bed.

Shout out to the very nice nanaimo bus driver who saw me walking very tiredly towards the bus stop and stopped to make sure I could get on the bus.

"We don't eat things off the ground," "We don't bark at neighbours," and other lies I have uttered this evening.

Hey human, full attention to me, I am here, looking at you.

Holding hands with a feline species while trying to start your desk work. This 1482 image of St. Jerome and his lion nails it timelessly. #catcontent #academicchatter

This is about Uvalde. "According to a pool reporter, many potential jurors shared their frustration with the police response from that day and expressed to the judge why their background would affect them on being unbiased in the trial."

I understand why whenever I call any Member of Parliament in Canada I get the exact same hold music and it is bland and inoffensive hold music but I am sick of calling the government and feeling like it doesn't matter. The last thing I did that felt meaningful was yelling about Air Canada.

Let’s make 2026 the year of the bog. The world’s most unique and interesting plants, clean water, cooler climate. Bogs deserve our thanks, care, and deep respect. Please join me and love a bog today.

Spent my morning with new students, will spend my afternoon with new students. Students are so great.

Guten Abend, gute Nacht ✨️❄️✨️ Der Schnee nimmt kein Ende ☃️ Herrlich hat es heute wieder geschneit und im Wald war es richtig schön. 🥰😍 Habt einen schönen Abend und schlaft später gut.

"On Monday, Ford brushed aside concerns that his pending move through the LCBO — one of the largest beverage alcohol buyers in the world — could jeopardize jobs at the Gimli operation and hurt western Canadian grain farmers supplying it." FFS, dude, there's a rest of Canada.

Just me and my morning coffee giving 100 to the land, the sea, the sky. (Could a depressed person do this?!)

Javier, our CEO, hopes your holiday break was everything you needed it to be. It is understandable if you need a bit more time to get reacclimated this morning. He hopes 2026 brings you love, happiness, and plenty of good dogs. He is comfortable handling that last one ❤️

BUT NOT WELL.

That's what grandmas are for! I do the same with my granddog when he stays for the Holidays.

The dogs are so excited to be at my mom's today. She has already given them both treats, called them her little princesses, and fed them.

Pocket friends, I don't want to get too hopeful but this Life of a Showgirl album by tswift is a lot more of a bop this morning than it was a few month ago. Iykyk

Good morning! It's a new term and for the first time in my entire academic career I have students this term that I had last term and I'm very fond of them all and really looking forward to seeing them again, plus all the new students!

My dogs are lovely and talented and have never done anything wrong in their lives and also are driving me nuts right now.

How can I be expected to finish up this syllabus for tomorrow morning when there's a tiny dog demanding at least 4000 minutes of uninterrupted attention?

Timeline cleanse: Should this guy start modeling or what?

it's gotta be this one. i think about getting a mushroom tattoo that says "you cannot kill me in a way that matters" all the time

Hey guess what I discovered the kitchen table and it’s fun to walk and sit on! Who wants to join me?

Cats all rolled up like delicious pastries

See this smile? 😃 My ice-cream is almost here. 🍦 Have a nice day, BlueSky! #DogsOfBlueSky #Pets #petlovers #havanese #dogs #dogwalk #Frenchton

logging on

Cancer: New year. New you? Let’s hope so.

To be clear my colleagues and immediate supervisors (weird way to talk about my job) were incredibly kind and supportive, but i was also told (by others! Not here!) that I shouldn't be allowed in academia because I take meds for my mental health.

Oh to be a cat curled up on a heating pad with a space heater on one side and a hooman on the other

Everything is stupid but there's a stinkbug on the ceiling

In the wake of all the news coming out of the US and the amount of shouting at the TV I've done, I thought everyone else might benefit from one of my favourite photos from 2017 to break up the doom scrolling. I cannot fix the big things, so here's a small thing.

Ich hatte die schönste Überraschung im Briefkasten 🥹 - @neocortex.bsky.social hat mir ein Jette Portrait geschickt 🥲💚. Ich hab mich so gefreut - Danke nochmal!!! #kleineKunstklasse

Depression is craving over me like large waves and it all feels so stupid. I was still awake at 7 am and I've been up since 11 am which is no doubt contributing. Gonna make myself get up. I did walk the dogs at 5:30 this morning.

INNOCENT

Footnote has no idea what's happening.

Hi! Are you doomscrolling? Max loves you and believes you deserve time to rest and recover.

Here on the Brendel Bluesky Account we have listened to you, to your beliefs, we have stopped looking to “experts” and instead know that you are the guiding star of everything that we do. In that spirit we have dedicated ourselves to five core posting values to give you content that matters to you:

I'm sad. Does anyone have some photos of plants to share? I'll start. This is a tree I walk by every day. I like it.

I had a really nice coffee with one of my colleagues and we talked a lot about how we want to engaged educators but the boom in AI is making it hard.

Good afternoon! Index decided to join team give up and Lie on the ground during our early morning walk. I'm sorry about the weather, my wee angel.

Footnote is following me around the apartment looking concerned so I think I'm dying.

JESUS CHRIST THAT THING IS BIGGER THAN THE MOON

I'M UPSET AT COMPUTERS THEY USED TO BE COOL NOW THEY JUST MAKE ME MAD ALL THE TIME AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Please tell me the knitters are going to yell at Google until the company has to apologize the way the US Olympic Committee did.

Having a tasty cup of tea and enjoying a tasty breakfast and wondering if the actual fog will lift. #TeaUp

A few months ago I got the story of a duck who aspires to curling greatness stuck in my brain and simply couldn't get it out until I did this

It’s New Years Eve. I did enough this year. YOU did enough this year. Bring on 2026 - HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
