I've spoken with FOUR people to get my address changed on my health plan and switch to paperless billing. FOUR in TWO HOURS. AND IT STILL ISN'T UPDATED. 😵

Baguette baking day!

Patrick and his son are on an adventure…

I think I felt a distant explosion.

Carol of the Bells in # Kyiv subway. Voices of the Embassies of Germany, France, and the United Kingdom came together to perform Shchedryk in the Kyiv metro as a sign of solidarity with Ukraine. Thankful to everyone who stands with us!

1/4 sheet pan in my Ninja countertop oven and made my own recipe after reading @smittenkitchen.bsky.social and a few others. Thanks Deb!

@duleyp.bsky.social your profile beetle(?) is gorgeous!

Putting off making the miniature bûche de noël for dinner with friends tomorrow. Painted the deck a lighter gray and persisting at the massive scraping job for the remainder of the deck while the weather is favorable.

It was a bright, clear day and I enjoyed working on the upper deck most of the day. Have a plan for fiberglass repair, and about 8 more days of non-skid coating removal with the heat gun. It’s so nice to have energy.

CALLING ALL MATT GAETZ FOREHEAD FANS! His account is now @antifaforehead.bsky.social and has been placed on the @skywatch.blue MAGA blocklist and his appeals are not working. It's a popular list and Tony is being unjustly blocked. Please spread the word.

@skywatch.blue Your MAGA blocklist contains @antifaforehead.bsky.social who is not MAGA and even tried to clarify in his profile. Please remove him from the list, he doesn't belong there. This keeps happening to good people. I've lost faith in your lists, it's really too bad.

Our boat is 18 years older than the ISS, no piss tank gauge, we have to guess how full the piss tank is. Here is your first and last update: 12% full.

Good morning

@cpsc.gov now what? 🤷‍♀️

Our Reps are carefully avoiding using their power. Excepting Al Green.

Waiting for Pops

Yay! New dock neighbor read the room and noticed no one else blasts their stereo for hours on end well into sunset.

Hopefully this is the last watermaker part replacement for a while🤞I’m learning a lot.

Vermonters every time someone offers an invite to a bonfire, “You putting the Christmas tree on it?” But otherwise we are very carbon averse.

I remember sitting next to a Vietnamese student in high school, early 80s, he carefully went through his dictionary to tell me word by word about being shot at in a rice paddy and losing his family.

Recommendations? I need to make a very simple spreadsheet for my pottery shop inventory with images and a few columns of descr, price, inventory number. I need it to be very easy to use on my iphone and syncable with my macbook. I can use google spreadsheet, but I'd like to try something new.

This is a fun way to listen to music: radio.garden

One burner and a Ninja low profile oven. Takes a little planning and an afternoon, I’m hell bent on roasted squash lasagna with caramelized onions.

When will we say enough?

This is wonderful - go to the site for much more than the video shows.

This is so cool, be sure to read the last paragraph.

Communicating with legislators does have impact: “Meanwhile, some Republicans have warned that ending ACA subsidies could cost their party the midterm elections, ***citing worried communications from their constituents.***”

Horrific.

I had to use Claude. What on earth were the logo designers and approval team thinking? Part of diversity is having older people on your team, maybe people that have read books, maybe people with life experience ffs. velvetshark.com/ai-company-l...

Overused phrases “a feature, not a bug”

Somebody isn’t feeling well

Husband: Let's have chicken soup for dinner. Me: OMG THAT TAKES TWO DAYS.

I freaking despise consumer facing AI and the energy spent untangling wrong answers. It's a waste of precious time.

Buddies

Massive #architectural fail. These stairs are in the HOSPITAL, to get to the treatment areas.

I took on a small research project for a science friend, and it is heartening to see how many professional orgs in the earth sciences realm are doubling down on DEI and confronting the Trump attack on science.

Super happy with this glaze combo on a set of four tumblers sized for my tiny hands.

One of the ladies is glazed. Going to go for taller figures, and use slip for dresses next time, a variation on a recent series of these small vases that use slip. Slow experimentation and technique combining.

It was a brash one tonight

Lunchtime for this little flock of white ibises (pretty sure) at low tide.

UK friends, these are a delight!

Introduce yourself with five animals you've seen in the wild: Pygmy rattlesnake Manatee Right whale Roseate spoonbill Howler monkey Loggerhead turtle

Having some fun with wheel thrown vases.
