Things Cookie likes chewing on: - any strings or ties attached to my clothing - pillows - blankets - dog beds Things Cookie does not like chewing on: - the myriad dog toys strewn around the house #dogsofbluesky #pugs

I love this. Unmute.

This is... I mean, just read it. Whether you like football or not.

What if I quit tech and instead take over a family friend’s picture framing store That sounds like a lot more fun than this job search

My Japanese is conversational, not fluent, but it really is interesting to watch something with subtitles and go “huh, I’m not sure that’s how I’d translate it, personally”

Found a job listing that, under the “about you” section, lists “inherent desire to operate with extreme levels of urgency across all aspects of life and work” Hard pass, thanks, I actually believe quite strongly in having a good work/life balance

I did DNA testing on Cookie and I can’t believe she’s 60% related to show pugs we know from our time showing, because this girl is the least breed-standard pug I’ve ever seen 😂 (She’s darling and I love her, but I genuinely thought her results were going to show she was a mix)

Hello! 👋 I'm hoping to raise money for two Bay Area cat rescues. If you post a screenshot of you donating at least $20, I will answer a style-related question for you. But first, let me tell you about the rescues, why they're worthy of your support, and hopefully get you to adopt a cat. 🧵

Leo just solved the declining church attendance in the US problem (h/t @gothamgirlblue.com )

Went to a happy hour last night with a bunch of former coworkers and man, I really did work with good people

Having a song stuck in my head is bad enough, but having it be a song in a foreign language is even worse because sometimes the lyrics are going full blast in my brain and sometimes it’s a mumble only vaguely approaching the correct sounds

The finished product:

I have two *very* interested observers of this morning’s pie baking

The vast majority of job listings I’m seeing on LinkedIn are for stupid AI companies and it’s the worst, it’s awful

Hard to believe that Dumpling came home with me one year ago. She was way more traumatized than I was expecting and it hasn’t always been easy, but seeing her start to relax has been so rewarding. Happy Gotcha Day, Dumpling! #pugs #dogsofbluesky

I’m starting to think I should have named Dumpling “Smeagol” instead #dogsofbluesky

Was going to watch the 2026 RHS Chelsea show because I’m the life of the party, but now it’s on a separate streaming service so it’s back to back episodes of Gardeners’ World, I guess

You’re trapped in the last TV show you watched, where are you? Gardeners’ World, so I’m spending my time gardening with Monty Don? Sign me up

Got a rejection today from the one place that I’d had any luck interviewing at. It’s not a surprise, and it was a quite nice rejection (as far as that goes) but boy this constant string of rejections sucks

Watching the first #TheLibrarian movie and I know I don’t have 22 degrees like Flynn does, but I too would like to receive a magical interview invitation card

I’ve gotten to the point in unemployment where I’m thinking wistfully about my manager making everyone include “something interesting outside of work that happened” in addition to our work update when we did our weekly roundtable meeting

I’m contemplating committing a cardinal #gardening sin and planting mint in the ground, but it keeps dying in pots on me and I want my own homegrown Moroccan mint tea, gosh darnit

Minimum wage at the coolest “natural history museum but everything’s actually for sale” around in Berkeley (I miss that place and those people so much)

There are so many logistical things to figure out (pug care and last-minute permits as the major ones) but the more I think about taking my unemployment time to finally hike the John Muir Trail, the more I want to make this happen

I always forget just how lovely the view from this BART station is

One of today’s @askamanager.org question has a #Blakes7 reference in it and this makes me SO HAPPY

Funny how I can track how I feel by looking at my bsky usage, but it’s usually the worse I feel, the less I’m on bsky

Why is this airport bar playing Christmas music, it is MARCH #travelposts

I just changed the region of my PS5 to play my old Prince of Tennis musical dvds and I regret NOTHING this makes me so happy

Honestly NOT enjoying a production and getting to go home and still have time for a glass of wine and knitting before bed is just as nice as loving the production

We’re going to keep this drawing going through the weekend!🥰❤️🐾 @lolapatolla.bsky.social @rescuecoop.bsky.social rescuecoop.org/donate #bluesky #donate #Snoopy #dogsofbluesky #rescue

Life and the world are on fire, but the nectarine tree is blooming beautifully #bloomscrolling

This team meeting where everyone is talking about how incredible the team has been is making me cry 😭 It really has been a joy working here

Turns out it’s basically our entire SF office, surprise!

Well, I just learned that myself and a bunch of my colleagues will no longer have jobs after mid April, so that’s my week derailed

I am very late to the party, but this medieval version of Pink Pony Club is just brilliant youtu.be/V7jOobdrdGo?...

Happy Birthday Aragorn 👑 #Tolkien #art

I’m going back to my roots* and started watching Prince of Tennis on crunchyroll, and man these subtitles are terrible *I’ve run out of Gardeners’ World

The sheer brilliance of this, I love it

For all that The Five Doctors is very silly, it does remind me how much I enjoyed the Second and Third Doctors #DoctorWhoRewatch

It’s almost like I have two normal pugs and not two Tiny Terrors

That "But thank you" at the end is just plain murder. Absolute queen.

amazing 😂

The testimony of someone who has risen to the occasion

I’ve been going to #gally1 since 2010, and Sunday after closing ceremonies never gets easier. Thank you to everyone at @gallifreyone.bsky.social for another fantastic con

I wasn’t able to get to the Mark Strickson and Sarah Sutton interview on Friday (where maybe this came up) but my one regret this con is that I haven’t heard Mark talk at all about his experiences as a nature documentary producer, and I think that’s a shame #gally1

The audience questions have not been bad but my stomach does sink every time audience questions are solicited

The tangible camaraderie between Daphne Ashbrook and Yee Jee Tso at this panel is so wonderful #gally1

It really is astonishing how Freema Agyeman hasn’t aged a day #gally1
