Caught a hoverfly looking angry and apian on a beautiful thistle. Bonus third image after I played around with it in #Procreate. #nature #bugs #photography

Gonna write a Green Eggs & Ham parody about AI. Only the conclusion is the guy is RIGHT not to use it. I do not want it in Firefox I do not want it in Google docs I do not want it, Sam Is I I do not want your damn AI

My Brain: WANT MEATLOAF SANDWICH Me: ok My Brain: WANT ME— wait what? Oh. Okay. Great. Man, I thought I was going to have to repeat myself like a thousand times before you gave in.

My zinnias (the one plant that managed to grow despite the Great Pigweed Invasion of ‘25) may be dying, but the butterflies don’t mind! Can’t believe I snapped a shot of one in the air! #photography #butterfly #nature

Canceling my Starbucks account finally. Enough is enough. I’m a 34-year-old white Jewish woman with two kids and a list of romance novels to write, so you can go ahead and extrapolate from that how much they’ll lose annually. Eat the rich (and don’t buy coffee from them).

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

Reading a recipe that’s like, “marinate overnight, or at least three hours, although even just 20 minutes is fine” and it’s wild to see a chicken curry negotiate against itself in real time.

Does anyone else think Steven Miller looks like an earthworm that started transforming into a human but got stuck 92% of the way there? Or is that just me?

I've eaten pizzas more supreme than this court

My version of #adulting: I know I can’t eat Lucky Charms for breakfast because, despite the protestations of every Reese’s Puffs commercial, a lot of cereals are just candy for breakfast. So what I do is I eat 2.5 scrambled eggs, wait an hour, then eat Lucky Charms as a kind of breakfast dessert.

i know we have to "push back" or whatever but this administration has us saying the goofiest, most obvious shit. late night hosts are allowed to make jokes. actually, WE pay tariffs. no, that's not how tylenol works. could be solving climate change but instead we're debunking middle school rumors

I have accomplished nothing all day. Time for a nap.

Trying to take some professional photos when Geordi entered the scene. #dogmom #dogs #pets

Just got a clue right in the crossword puzzle because Puppet History taught me about the guy who invented the saxophone. Thanks @wearewatcher.bsky.social! 🎷

Usually I just do egg earrings, but for a friend I decided to add a slice of toast. #glassart #eggs #jewelry #crafts

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

If anyone needs a Halloween costume idea, may I recommend the Nintendo Mullet? #Halloween

I am playing Animal Crossing irl in my backyard. So far I am up to THREE different dragonflies! Here’s the latest. It’s red! (I only know how to identify different bugs by their color and how close I’m willing to get to them.) #dragonfly #photography #nature

Can AI increase your output? Sure, but so can a laxative - and both have the same effect.

Dear Instacart, Where is this woman’s thumb? Sincerely, Bex

I touch my son’s cheek And though it is still soft It is not the softness I remember Of a baby new to the world In that moment I realize I’m not touching my baby’s cheek But the cheek of a boy half grown That instant of realization A kind of loss A wistful grief #parenting #poem #mom

Why does no one ever talk about twice-in-a-lifetime opportunities? Those are almost as rare as once-in-a-lifetime chances. I bet they’re almost equally spectacular and mind-blowing. But also slightly more attainable. Like… going on a really expensive cruise AND the boat breaks down.

I’d love it if @hankgreen.bsky.social could answer this question for me and my husband since we’re currently baffled: Do spiders have feet? Feel free to weigh in even if you aren’t Hank Green.

I don’t know why I’m admitting to this, but I spent years being offended by Covergirl. I thought the brand name was literally… cover… girl. As in, “Girl, you’re ugly. We’ll cover you. Literally. We will cover up your face so no one has to see it💄” It’s about being on magazine covers, isn’t it? 🤦‍♀️

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

I have a bag full of oyster shells.

For those who don’t have #ADHD, I present a microcosm: I have forgotten doctor’s appointments. I have forgotten to take my meds. I forget where my phone is. I walk into a room and forget why I needed to be there. Last week I started a sourdough starter, and I haven’t forgotten to feed it once.

August 7, 2025. I have officially started writing Book 2. This is more nerve-racking than I ever thought writing could be. Book 1 isn’t even out yet. I kinda hope everyone hates it. Then Book 2 will look fantastic by comparison. Oh Lord I’m a crazy person 🤦‍♀️ #writersky #amwriting

Has anyone ever tried punching JK Rowling right in the mouth? Just a quick jab. Nothing crazy.

Made a zine out of old shirts (so as to be on theme). Compiled some of my “favorites” from the shirts with words I have seen adults wearing in the wild. #zine #zines #shirtswithwords #questionablefashionchoices (Part 1/2 since Bsky only allows four images per post)

He saw his opportunity, and he took it. #funny #photo

I’ve started pruning the sunflowers that grew in my yard without my say-so. Which I guess is like if someone moved into my house without permission and then I offered to do their hair. #flowers #gardening

#Question Back when movie theaters were a thing, did your local theater(s) serve any highly region-specific #snacks and/or treats? I remember my brother telling me when he worked in a theater in our hometown (Los Angeles) a family from Texas asked for pickles on their popcorn!

So… um…… Can potatoes have rabies? Asking for a friend.

I like that I often say “I have to pee like nobody’s business” because 1. It immediately makes it other people’s business and 2. It implies that there is a contrasting scenario in which I might have to pee like somebody’s/everybody’s business.

I made shrimp and grits with Reddit’s help! Just wanted to post a pic. #cooking

I wish I could do a Sailor Moon style transformation except instead of becoming a Magic Girl, I’d just be attractive and well-dressed for a while.

you're gonna wanna see this

God save me from old men who think they’re funny.

Ranking my daily mood on a scale from baby Tawny Frogmouth to baby Albatross.

Can my About the Author photo be a picture of my dog? Or a random grackle I found in the Target parking lot?

Does anyone else absolutely dread standing up for themselves, or is that just me? I just feel like I’m entitled to a life where no one ever challenges my beliefs or decisions, especially not in a professional setting. Doesn’t seem like too much to ask.

For all those adults out there learning to cope with #adhd and #neurodivergence, here is my #blog post about it. (Shoutout to @adhdinos.bsky.social and author/therapist KC Davis) bexgoos.me/2025/07/14/f... #Wordpress #MentalHealth

Look at this one’s derpy little face!!! Compared to my last post, this is like finding a shiny sports car and then walking one block down and seeing a beige minivan from 1992 😆 #photography #dragonfly #derp
