Just a political rant, people are so freaking apathetic. Special election tonight in our county and out of 1M registered voters, 162K of us bothered to vote. What is wrong with people?

My top 5 star reads of the year (in reading order): pt 1 #books #booksofbluesky

Friend just dropped off a gift (heated blanket) for me. I was supposed to see her today but didn’t want to get her sick. Sad I didn’t get to hang out with her especially now that she lives 2 hours away. I miss her #stupidcold

Used to hate getting a head cold but now, in the wake of covid and other nasty viruses, am ok with just a head cold. Have been hanging around in bed today, napping on and off.

Sitting in the backseat of son’s car listening to my kids chitchat in the front 💕 #sweet #family

Having daughter home this past week has been so lovely. We’ve been appreciating the fact that she could be with us. Still getting used to her living her best life across the country from us (even though it’s been 6 years, lol) #daughters #family

Found the CBS feedback form. Left a message about Bari www.cbs.com/showfeedback...

Everyone is getting a book under the tree. We’ll see if I choose the right ones for them. #Books #gifts

Daughter, on the hand, is a reader like me. She was also shocked by the revelation. When he said it, she thought he meant this year. #reader #books

Son shocked me last night when he said that he’s read maybe 7 books in the last five years. 7? I knew he wasn’t a reader but 😮 Need to find some books that’ll interest him and keep him engaged. #books #reading #mission

Both kids are with us for the week. And mother-in-law will be joining us midweek. Nice to have a full house again. #holidays

Jar 3/12 completed #update #crossstitch #crafting

If you’re not a US citizen, I’d wait a good 10 years before entering if you really want to see the country. Which I do think is beautiful but there are lots of beautiful locations outside of here, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean for starters. #travel

The last couple of days have been so lovely here. Temps have been in the low 60s (F/15-17°C) with a slight breeze #spoiled

Started watching a tiktok where a woman said that her husband's biological sister told her (the woman) that she (the sister) wanted to be with her brother. Like that. Don't ask me what the rest of the story was cause that was my cue to leave.

Does everyone read the exact same books at the same time on booktok? Did they all get together and decide that? So weird. Or am I the weird one cause I never seem to be in step with anyone else. #books

No Black Friday shopping for me #MassBlackout #crossstitching

A little Autumn project completed #crossstitching

Things I learned while taking my dogs out for a walk tonight 1) Coyotes sometimes get to be as large as a small German Shepherd 2) Coyotes will roam my suburban city at night (cont) #dogs #wildlife

I know everyone’s going on about MTG resigning immediately after she gets her pension. And yeah, that’s calculated. But what I really want to know is did her net worth really bump up from $700k to $25m in the time she’s been in congress? And why is that not getting more outrage

Salwell for CA governor, huh? It’s going to make for an interesting run. Not a Porter fan at all so he may be a better alternative. Need more info on all the candidates. Except for that maga candidate from SoCal. A big nope to him. #CAGovernor2026

Statement from Rep. Crockett on Threat at D.C. Office

Finished the Jars cross stitch last night. Need to flatten it but I’m happy how it came out. Have never stitched on a black cloth before. I think it makes the jars pop. (Pic is from right before i did the outline on the last jar) #crossstitch #crafting

Decided to give diamond painting/art a try (not sure what it’s called exactly) because son said his gf would like a kit for Xmas (which I’ll get for her). Got me curious so I got a kit of coasters to learn on. It’s actually very relaxing. #crafting #diamondart #diamondpainting #dogs

The US is Absurdistan #thatisall #BadPlace

Interesting that everyone is focused on a consensual act between 2 men and not the violence directed at women and girls. Obviously women and girls have little or no value. But I mean I guess whatever it takes 🤷🏻‍♀️ #BadPlace

The Redeemable Racist trope. 🙄 This "welcoming" of folks who have done abhorrent things comes at a cost to those who do the welcoming. Exactly why should the would-be welcomers be asked to sacrifice safety, peace, self-respect, time, and emotional labor for people who have deliberately harmed them?

Beautiful rain

Have been waking up starving every morning recently. Just put one and one together. Garlic fields are down the road. Sure they’re over 40 miles down the road but garlic is powerful. One good side effect, we don’t have to worry about vampires

Chuck Schumer’s two main accomplishments in the past week were caving to Trump and barely hiding his contempt for Zohran Mamdani #Schumer2028

The most accurate portrayal I’ve seen to date:

Why didn't anyone tell me that season 3 of #DarkWinds is out? It's so good!

I don't hate too many people but you can make sure Schumer makes the list. Way to fucking hold strong you POS If you think we were mad before, think again @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov

Look at my scissors! #gift #crossstitch

Also, as a Gen Xer, what the hell happened to my generation? Count me out of your crazy right wing takes. Nope, the older I've gotten, the further left I've gone

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

I can't with intentionally dumb people. Is it rage bait? Are they trolls? Or maybe I'm wrong and they actually can't process information and have no common sense #smh

25 years ago I loved cross stitching. Got distracted by kids and life. Starting again but with smaller projects till I get the hang of it again

I don't understand. Did it used to be a tea shop?

Bummer!

That was a pretty tame fight 😂 Cleared benches that's all. I'm here for the drama of men But seriously, why is he still pitching?

I know I should be cheering for the blue and white SoCal team in the #WorldSeries but as an orange and black NorCal team fan, I just can't 😬😆 Go #BlueJays One more game! ⚾🧢
