PSA on behalf of my profession: we always need massage therapists and since COVID the profession has been decimated. It takes about a year to take the classwork and get certified and you can probably get a scholarship. #massage #LMT #bodywork

I favor a thing put forward by Lois M Bujold: everyone should get a contraceptive implant after puberty. And then have a big party and a rite of passage when they choose to take it out. Also from her: people should have to earn credits via social service to earn the right to have kids.

The magnificently delicious final result. The sauce was made with sweet Italian sausage. No leftovers detected. So good!! #cooking #cooksky

Working the pasta maker. And a bowl of the completed pasta. #cooking #cooksky

I'm buried in a blanket with the dog, who has stuffed his face under me as he often does. It's 55 degrees in my house. But I can't bring myself to turn on the heat; I hate how stuffy heated houses are. Meanwhile my son is still wearing shorts and a flimsy old T-shirt. #viking

Vegan Tom Kha for my client. I'll be away for Thanksgiving so I gotta hustle up and make extra in advance. #cooking #foodsky #specialdiet

A love story for the ages: my dog's adoration of my boyfriend. #dogsofbluesky

Kouigns about to go in the oven. No Kings! Only KOUIGNS #cooking #cooksky

The first roll-out of this big batch of kouign aman. The dough seems a little sticky but I think it'll be okay. #cooking #foodsky

It's in the 30s out there and my doggo is snuggled in his blanket #dogsofbluesky #dogsky

I'm listening to The Three Musketeers on a LibriVox recording. I know they are all done by volunteers. But the way they mangle the names! Ah sacre mille diables! Nonetheless, the story is even better than I remembered. #booksky

@duolingoverde.bsky.social that is not a typo. That's actually how contractions work, as you very well know. Please fix your silly AI.

TFW I'm seeing this pharmacy tech with a mask covering only her mouth right now in the year of our Lord 2025

When I foolishly go to the Lotte a lil bit hungry #greedy #Lotte #asianmarket

Been enjoying myself learning to read the Arcane Bullshit deck. It is, needless to say, completely nonsensical #tarot

I can hear my dog snoring his funny old man snores. It's heavenly to just rest in my home. #agoodplace #dogsofbluesky

The catto of this home I am visiting @thebarbarienne.bsky.social

Look at this duck reenacting that scene from Titanic. We spotted him at #theRio and he kept at it for quite a while

My neighbor has this beautiful mature grapevine on their fence. Look at this fruit coming in!! #bloomscrolling #gardensofbluesky

My Chicago Hardy Fig tree was very mad at me when we moved and has been acting dead this whole year. But this morning while watering in preparation for the heat today, I saw that it has put up a shoot!! #bloomscrolling #faith

bsky.app/profile/cosa... Had to boost this. Obviously. #happypridemonth #satan

Here's my dog, Thanos Destroyer of Toys, living his best life on the couch this morning. Sunbeams and everything. #dogsofbluesky

This morning's tiny victory: I present Cranberry Orange Almond Muffins Filled with Sweet Red Beans. The recipe is modified from The Preppy Kitchen and I got a nice chunky red bean mix from my local Lotte Mart. #foodsky

First bee balm of the season #FlowerReport #BloomScrolling

Apparently my dog doesn't want me to see what he's reading behind that pillow #dogsofbluesky

Behold, I present to you the Chicken Caesar Salad sandwich. Ok homemade garlic pretzel buns with rosemary. #food

Look at my snoozy angel baby #dogsofbluesky #dogs

Today I made bao. 1 type was BBQ turkey, kinda char siu style, and the other an homage to Korean corn dogs so it had hotdog, cheese, and potato. Both came out amazing!! #food

TIL that if your Kindle has the WiFi turned on and you have it in your back pocket, as one does, then it may turn itself on and try to order books from the ad screen that appears prior to unlocking! Keep that WiFi off, kids. Fancy peony from Meadowlark for tax. #FlowerReport #bloomscrolling

Itoh peonies at Meadowlark. #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

John and I went to #MeadowlarkGardens and it was just perfect. Here is basically the platonic ideal of azalea

I was today years old when I discovered that this is what kale flowers look like

Today I got my second shingles shot, completing the set, and also the pneumonia shot. #Selfcare is sexy, people! Or, if you prefer a different angle, the best revenge is living through the bullshit with unusual panache.

Here's my back yard coming along. Also, I got in 40 minutes of walking this morning! Look at me actually trying to help myself stay alive. #exercise #middleaged

This magnificent ambrosia is Collards with Kimchi, from the cookbook Smoke & Pickles by Chef Ed Lee. Sir you have changed my LIFE

But! I was tryna fold that laundry you jerk

A little corner of my garden at night

I made fried rice and a simple dal for breakfast today. Is this what adulting is supposed to be like? A sensation of knowing what to do, a feeling of skill and competence?
