It's #caturday and I randomly remembered this video that @anamariecox.bsky.social post on twitter 15 years ago. I will never forget this song and now... neither will you guys. youtu.be/bpfbbolyOKY?...

Latkes and a pastrami sandwich. Happy Hanukkah!

A Bratt Thanksgiving

A skunk showed up at my parents house with a cup with a dome lid stuck on its head, went under the car, then had trouble navigating out. The Humane Society was closed, police dispatch forwarded us to the game warden, who took our info, but didnt say if they’d send someone out.

Remembering the time I dressed Moo (now departed) as @darthbluesky.bsky.social for Halloween.

Good news for consumers: wholesale avocado prices remain low. Your local retailer sets their own price, but in general it's putting downward pressure on the retail price. An oversupply may continue into the early part of the new year. Eat 'em up. Please and thank you.

Success! It took 4 years to get a fruit from this dragon fruit plant that was established in the yard when we moved here. Lots of trial and error with pollination, finally broke down and ordered a pollen mix online this season. I’m happy to report the fruit is very tasty!

To honor my late mothers birthday - she would have been pushing 80! - I encourage you, esp if youre over 45, to get a colon cancer screening. It is so important and could save your life. Its a miserable disease. If youre seeing this, consider it your reminder to make that call and appointment.

First dragon fruit bloom of the season. #DragonFruit #Photography #NotCats #FlashesApp

I had the good fortune to sit down with @parkermolloy.com to have a wide-ranging discussion about how media has laundered Right Wing hate and corruption, the shameful post-election abandonment of Trans people, and glimmers of hope in a time of crisis. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/a-conversa...

This is serious. PLEASE vaccinate your kids. Measles is NOT a “normal childhood illness” and people telling you it is are either 1) lying or 2) uninformed because they are too young to remember dire complications from vaccine-preventable illnesses. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...
