Dearest @cupcakegoth.bsky.social . I have done my job as an Auntie. I have taken my niece to the Haunted Mansion.

Endorsing @callalily57.bsky.social skills and attention to detail in genealogy research. I got a very thorough report on my great grandmother, who I knew so little about and couldn’t wrestle info out of my family. It was so lovely.

When life hands you lemons, share! Filled the box twice.

i’ve never felt this patriotic in my life

As God is my witness… m.youtube.com/watch?v=lf3m...

I feel this is the new Tom Holland Umbrella video. Once it crosses your timeline, you must repost to share the joy.

I voted to mess with Texas. Sorry, @stinapag.bsky.social

@darthbluesky.bsky.social even hellhounds obey leash laws for safety.

100 goody bags. We’re ready.

The government of Jamaica has set up a portal for contributing to official relief efforts. I will update this thread if anything analogous opens up for Haiti, Cuba, or the DR supportjamaica.gov.jm

I don’t give a shit if he bulldozes the whole White House and replaces it with a gold plated McDonald’s. It’d be the least offensive thing he’s done. I’m not going to precious about a building. I’m still sad about losing the Tower on Sunset, yet I feel nothing about this.

I am on an iPhone 12, and I’m not sure how I can get a decent photo of this beautiful spider web. Should I try in the morning? What setting should I use to get crispness/detail? Help?

Depression is swallowing me whole. I have one more month of health insurance and then my meds are unaffordable. Been out of work since February 2024. I feel like walking into the sea. I know I’m not alone, but that makes it worse. I don’t want anyone else to feel like this.

I was carjacked and kidnapped in a sleepy little college town. I still buckle up. This guy is a douche.

Violas planted around the top of the tower garden to attract pollinators. #gardening #losangeles

I will always fast forward through fight scenes.

“Privacy in America has atrophied” says publication that wants my email address and tries to dump 50 different tracking cookies in order to read the article.

Please help me bring back the #DareMightyThings umbrella inspired by the Perseverance rover parachute! 🪂🤖 Sold out, but I really want to reorder them.

Gardening my way through the dystopia.

Tower garden lettuce ready to harvest.

I want to eat all of the chocolate. Cry. Then eat more chocolate.

👀

I went outside to garden and planted lettuce and spinach and an ocean of flowers. Started the seedlings for the tea garden and vegetable gardens. Then I opened the internet to see 700 Marines are being deployed. I am peacefully gardening here in Los Angeles, which is not remotely a war zone.

I wish the Feds would GTFO of my city.

I haven’t heard thunder in so long I had to check in with other people to make sure I’m not going crazy. But yep. Thunder.

“The California African American Museum exhibit […] show highlights not only the multiple generations of prominent Black visual artists with connections to Altadena, but also the deep connections among them. Several of the artists have multiple generations of their family in the show…”

It occurs to me that if I had more confidence I could probably start a business helping people plan and plant water-wise low maintenance gardens. But sometimes I feel so low I can barely keep up with my own gardens.

Went outside. Planted things. Saw a baby monarch butterfly.

Stupid depression. I need to get out of bed and do a bunch of stuff but stupid depression is a tungsten weighted blanket.

One of our students is missing. Two weeks now. ktla.com/news/local-n...

People who watched Andor: can I skip the Mon Mothma scenes? I feel like I’m being held hostage by Merchant Ivory. Matches are being stacked.

Got my first shingles vax. It’s good to do something that affirms being alive at a future date.

Didn’t get the job. Hanging on by a thread.

MCA. 🎤

Hibiscus in bloom. #gardening

Sign of the apocalypse: the locusts have arrived. #gardening

I have a job interview on Monday. Send all possible good vibes my way.

Tilda Swinton.

@debbiemillman.bsky.social I just received this beautiful book. I’m so in love with it.

A very good boy.

Someday, this little one will be 12 feet tall. #gardening

There’s a mural on a dentist’s office in Atwater Village that has a little tribute to the #BeastieBoys with a halo over MCA that just gets me on the feels.

This makes me feel better.

Oh hey, me too.

My birthday is next week and I just want to crawl in a hole and ignore it. It’s not going to be happy. For the last year I have been broke, miserable, and unemployed. I can’t do it this year, y’all. I’m out of hope.

I made corned beef with potatoes and carrots and baked a loaf of soda bread. My great-great grandmother, Bridget McGloughlin, would have been proud, I guess. When she was 16, she stole money from the pockets of her drunk father, got on a boat in Ireland, and ended up in Boston. So here I am.

I made banana muffins. I browned the butter so they have a subtle toffee flavor. Just a random, small, good thing.
