Hey, thanks for the responses on this. He told me you all were so helpful with suggestions for a tablet that he asked you for mask help. I left my perfect one in a hotel and can’t find an exact replacement but I will try ones you suggested here. Thanks, friends!

Sept 18, 2025 Disney Studios protest Burbank, CA. Confirmed WGAW Union sent out a notification to their members that this was happening today. Feels good to see so many people standing up for what’s right.

Marlowe wants you to know you’re doing a h*ckin good job and you deserve a little treat this weekend and also maybe she deserves a treat right now

This perfect boy, snuggliest of snugglers, full of love and affection and has never done anything wrong because he is perfect, has decided, in his 16th year, that NOW is the time to start taking things off tables. So adorably rotten.

“Let the states decide. Wait, not like that.”

happy new pope day to those who celibrate

My god. open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

Good morning, friends. If you missed this yesterday, allow me to tell you that I'm on this week's Inside of You podcast with Michael Rosenbaum. It's available wherever you get your podcasts. Here's another, different, clip from our conversation..

I got a squirrel feeder, painted it, and added a little café sign. Now every morning when I go out there, the squirrels see me and run to the empty feeder for me to refill it 🥹

Hey friends! Wil and I are doing a fun virtual event on April 27th @ 10am PT/ 1pm ET, which will help support the LA Regional Food Bank. Hope to see you there! shopstands.com/collections/...

When you’re enjoying waiting in the car but then the one that parks next to you has music on too loud

Dammit.

It's Wednesday, which means I get out of my comfort zone and promote the hell out of my podcast! This week's story is The God of Minor Troubles, by Megan Chee, originally published in Strange Horizons.

Dodgers win! But also…so do I. *drool*

Racing footsteps make their way across the house to me where I’m laying on my bedroom floor, stretching. I sit up, expecting Wil to tell me something exciting about his new podcast that came out today. His open-mouth grin appears in the doorway as he announces “ @darthbluesky.bsky.social is back!”

Two years in the making. I’m so proud of him 🥰

Imagine saying “drill baby, drill” over and over during your campaign after big oil companies financially supported you to become president and then after you become president, you tell people to buy an electric car from tesla. Lol.

America to Trump: “What you are doing makes absolutely no sense.” Trump to America: “What I’m hearing is you want no cents, therefore I will stop production of the penny.”

Heartbreaking read on who will be affected by this horrific plan. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Listen, if you don’t want me to eat all the chocolates in your bowl of candy in the lobby, you shouldn’t have had me come in at lunchtime *shoves third Milky Way in mouth*

Yikes

I woke up to the smell of skunk and as I started walking out of my bedroom, the heater kicked on which instantly blew hot skunk smell into my face. Happy Wednesday.

This platform doesn’t have as much space to post as others do so I couldn’t add the thank you photo from our own Pasadena Humane alumni, Marlowe 😍

Thanks to our generous community, Pasadena Humane is no longer in need of donated items. What they really need now is monetary donations so they can purchase oxygen, fluids, pain meds, and wound care of pets and wildlife still coming in. Any amount helps❤️ give.pasadenahumane.org/fire

Went to Costa Rica and everything caught on fire in Los Angeles while we were away. More on my IG post cuz way too long to post here❤️ www.instagram.com/p/DEyaZ6fx8c...

So many residents of Altadena were saved because of this young man. What a gift that he warned everyone so early. localnewspasadena.com/2025/how-two...

In addition to needing financial support, Pasadena Humane needs foster help, and they have a list of supplies needed on their website under Eaton Canyon Fire Update. Anything you can help with makes a difference. 💕

Pasadena Humane is boarding pets for evacuees and providing medical care for pets affected by the wildfires. This is all very costly to them. If you’re able to provide some financial support, here’s a link to do so. pasadenahumane.org/give/donate/

Too much to type again but here’s some resources for pet boarding for fire evacuees 💕 Horses are going to LA equestrian center

I was taking a social media break but my silence has worried some due to the fires in our area. We’re safe and so are our pets and our home. No fires by us, just lots of trees down, and the wind decided to put our side gate on our neighbors’ front yard. 😳

The dogs were good again this year. Thanks for making this, @weratedogs.com. The absolute best 🥺 youtu.be/yKcQScxYdYMo

bro wtf

I’m not saying my husband accidentally used the fork I just used to put catfood in the cat dish, to serve himself leftover turkey on his dinner plate, but I’m not not saying that happened either.

Breakfast of Champions

28 Christmases together Still punk as f*ck

Looking forward to my annual stretch-the-hips-before-sitting-on-the-floor-to-wrap-gifts day. But first, coffee.

Unless your goal is to remember to write 2025 on your checks immediately in which case, maybe wait until January to start that up.

You don’t need the start of a new year to make that change you want for yourself. You know what you want to do differently in 2025? Start that shit now, baby.

This is cool. If you live in Los Angeles County and have high medical debt and qualify for relief based on your income, your medical debt can be paid off for you through the Undue Medical Relief organization. publichealth.lacounty.gov/hccp/medical...

One of the questions on Family Feud is “Your lover is on a diet. What low calorie food would you make edible underwear out of” and my answer is “charcooterie” yes this is perfect no further answers thank you

morning snugs are the best

I see we have reached the lip balm, sinus spray, eye drop, hand cream, cuticle oil portion of this winter experience. Excellent.

I scroll social media on my phone using my left thumb. Problem here is that little arrow that puts you right back to the top every time you tap it…with your left thumb. Guess I’ll never see what others are up to. Neat.

Feeding my inner 80 year old

This Yacht Rock documentary is so good! I knew the musicians and singers helped each other out but I had no idea it was to this level. Highly recommend watching!

My husband got me a votive candle advent calendar a couple of weeks ago so I finally got to announce “Let the flames begin!” to absolute silence in my house this morning 😑 ANYWAY, today is spiced pumpkin latte scent thankyouverymuch

Confession: the only green in our thanksgiving dinner will be the celery in the stuffing. Only comfort foods on our plates today. Ain’t no one finding comfort in that green bean casserole or those roasted Brussels sprouts and you know it.

Baby, it’s cold outside 🥺

I know this place will take some time to get used to but I don’t think I’ll ever stop seeing “bsky” and think it actually says “banksy.”
