Spring cleaning… Cactus Wren removes unwanted bits from its nest 🪶

Ready for the nearest rave! Maybe I should take him to one of those carwashes with the colored lights?

Sleeping until midnight the night prior apparently really takes it out of you. The poor dear …

I’ve never done the elephant knot with this tie before but I think it works. Even if the paisley makes it a bit harder to see the elephant’s head.

it’s important to remember that friends may come and go, but family will always be there. so what i’m saying is if you ever have the opportunity to party hard with hotties, you take it, you never know if it’ll happen again.

my toddler is crying because he has doggy hair in his mouth and I mean yes okay corgis do shed a lot and it’s an uncomfortable sensation but also, kiddo, you just licked the dog

Pretty sunset tonight. K did not appreciate my stopping on the way home for a photo.

One of the beef tendons Santa brought. Tendons are one of his faves. Two in the package and had hoped to break each into 3-4 pieces but that's not happening without a hacksaw. Which I did not bring. 🤷 He is a very, very happy hound! 🥰

☕️📖 Nothing like spending a cozy morning curled up under a blanket with a cup of tea and a book on my lap to keep me company while I endlessly scroll my phone

Kiernan will have to sleep all day to regain his energy after yesterday. We went to friends for dinner and a Stranger Things watch party. K was doted on and ate a good percentage of his body weight in treats and steak trimmings. Made friends with a a giant goody GSD boy.

This is what the Sandhill cranes sound like that @jocelynanderson.bsky.social captured in her stunning photograph below. My video is in central NM south of Albuquerque along the Rio Grande. The river is behind the line of trees (bosque) where they roost every night.

Fascinating thread.

Busted out the embroidery scissors and my rusty skills to make my sister’s present. She had mentioned over the summer that if I still did the fancy scissor cutting, she would like a cactus one. Had to make my own pattern as cacti aren’t a traditional subject.

Wearing my almost elderly seasonal shirt today. Ages ago Despair.com did a different darkly funny shirt each Christmas.

Pobrecito Kiernan is sad. I only gave him one cherry tomato, he wanted the entire container. #Woe I had to put them away, he wouldn’t stop being a PITA.

Words to live by!

I’m very confident this is how at least one of the Alien rebooot movies starts and that we’re going to hatch this stupid thing anyway rather than taking it immediately to some sarcophagus and sealing it forever in a tomb as god and John Carpenter intended.

Earl Grey Tom Collins, the only Collins drink I like. Earl Grey infused gin, homemade Earl Grey and lemon simple syrup and sparkling lemonade. It’s actually better with fresh lemon juice and club soda but it’s been a long week and I didn’t want to fuss with juicing anything.

Absolutely nobody asked for this BUT English Anglican cathedrals that have burned down, fallen over, and sank into the swamp: a thread.

TODAY'S COMIC: thunk.

It’s chilly out there. Don’t forget your…

Also I really feel that it needs to be taught as part of basic wilderness survival—if you see a creepy wicker effigy, LEAVE AT ONCE. No good will come of it.

I am being blamed for the cold outside.

30 years ago this month, the New York Daily News ran this article bemoaning how complicated coffee had become, bemused by Dalton's introduction of pumpkin spice coffee and Starbucks' eggnog lattes, noting that specialty coffee "is a fad--like breweries. It's already peaked."

This is Willi and Rigatoni. They were saying not-so-nice things behind your back, but then you turned around. Super awkward. 13/10 for both (IG: wildwildwilli)

Amazing how many articles are just “I’m a white guy who didn’t get the promotion I wanted and the only answer to this problem that concerns every single one of us is to re-segregate the workplace”

Also it really can’t be understated how much the voucher scam has helped to take a sledgehammer to public education here. Just a regular stream of these kinds of headlines ever since:

Middle school nephew’ soccer team made the playoffs. 20 minutes after start time and the other team just showed up. We were all wondering what happened! There was a bus scheduling mixup. There’s a hard end time for the field so they may play 15-20 minute halves.

Going back to the well for #ArtAdventCalendar Day 15 🪶

yes of course those are burners in hot air balloon gondolas because New Mexico is nothing if not on brand

When Mama brings her lunch to the dog park, it’s hard to choose between sniffing stuff and begging. He tried to do both at once with limited success. That weed on his face made me snicker!

Happy Duck Foot Day to all who celebrate! Kiernan has a second one for tomorrow, too. There’s a fancy prt food store by the fancy donut shop with bins and bins of animal parts for him to choose from. He’s also has a duck neck waiting for a longer car trip.

restaurants don't want you to know this but technically steak tartare is a gluten free dessert

This is Pancho. He’s mad because he asked for five more minutes and then you woke him up five minutes later. Unforgivable. 12/10 (IG: panchothediva)

It's so fucked up to have been a kid during the D&D is the devil freakout and the Tipper Gore dirty lyrics freakout and live to see the teen suicide machine get such a pass.

Reminder: women's hockey ☺️

Every #GenX member who spent most of the ‘80s inexplicably terrified of sinking into quicksand is both horrified and vindicated.

A fierce and hungry houndebeast!

The owners of Ghost Ranch announced a 6,000-acre conservation easement deal made possible through partnership with the New Mexico Land Conservancy and the state will protect the same vistas that Georgia O’Keeffe memorialized in her art. sfnm.co/3KolCGJ

Stopped by the vet to pick up Kiernan’s prescription and we saw a very frosty and rather tiny black greyhound girl being carefully loaded into her chariot.

Kiernan and I went for a scenic drive yesterday. He was a good car buddy but not overly fond of the hairpin curves. He had his own road trip snacks, a chicken foot and a duck neck.
