Houston winter weather in a single image

“I miss blockbuster video” the library has every dvd totally untouched and I never see you there

Went on StoryGraph to track my recent reading and realized that I had stopped reading around the time I started my new job. Which is also when I hit my sewing slump. Anyway, I’ve been busy and tired, but I’m finding my hobbies again!

Jennifer Welch: “The Republican Party has done such a good job propagandizing that if you need anything from the government, you’re a lazy piece of shit and a moocher, when really the parasites in this country are the billionaires.”

I hate it here 🥲

If the experience of living through 2025 was a dog.

Wow there is some real labubu haters on this app. Not everything is for everybody. Take a deep breath. It’s okay!

My fellow Texas Democrats and I broke quorum to shine a national spotlight on Trump’s redistricting power grab. We inspired other states and millions of Americans to join the fight. Moments ago a federal court struck down his rigged map. This is why we fight back.

first time voting, felt good!

“what radicalized you” idk paying attention

🌈 Even after the rainbow was erased, Houstonians made sure its colors stayed. ⠀ After city crews removed the Montrose Pride crosswalk under Gov. Greg Abbott’s directive, new painted rainbows and handwritten messages have appeared around the intersection.

I feel like people who don't like candy corn don't understand how to eat it. You're not supposed to chew. You just swallow it with water, like a pill.

Sewing pattern makers who use GenAI for the finished garment images should be kicked off of every platform for fraud. If you, as the creator, can’t make the garment and take a photo of it, you shouldn’t be selling the pattern.

Just landed back home from a much needed family vacation. Portland/Oregon coast/Redwood NP/NorCal. Lots of things checked off the bucket list

Hey @texastribune.org @houstonchronicle.com @houstonpublicmedia.bsky.social are y’all reporting on the Texas voter registration backlog that may prevent thousands of people from being registered to vote by the Oct. 6 deadline?

My Texas voter registration has been pending for 3 MONTHS! The deadline to register is Oct 6 so who knows if I’ll be able to vote. I’ve made so many phone calls and sent emails. Spoke to county officials, Secretary of State people. No one seems to care or is able to help.

finally a Texas candidate I like for senate!

He couldn’t deserve this award more!

This dress would fix me

August 31st September 1st

The sewing room has been tidied up! I’m gonna try to work on a WIP during nap time today. #GarmentSewing

My goal for the weekend is to read as much as I want. And maybeeee clean up the sewing room to get some fall sewing in. Maybeeee

The tariffs have hit dollar tree I guess

So I still use Pinterest to gather ideas and I’ve noticed that there is so much AI trash on there now. Sometimes images are labeled as AI but most are not. It’s getting frustrating to use since I have to question every other image.

The category is fall sewing! Jackets, pants, a cute bag, a cozy quilt, or whatever strikes your fancy. Use the hashtag #sewskyfallchallenge .. #garmentsewing #sewsky #sewingsky

Owning an old house is not for the weak. What was supposed to be a simple foundation leveling has turned into a semi-renovation. The plan was to phase out the work we had planned through the end of the year but now it’ll have to be done a lot sooner.

a baby 🥹

She ain’t cute, she ain’t straight, but she’s done. Used scrap wood left over from making the coop. Now my chickens need to actually start laying eggs

The end of summer has been a blur of job interviews, home repairs, and a property tax protest. Now I’m almost done with onboarding at my new job, home repairs are underway (though still stressful), and the tax protest went better than expected. Fingers crossed fall is more fun.

Now I’m glad I kept my older kid’s Correa t-shirt for my younger one to wear 🥹 #astros

Just had to trick myself into doing some low dopamine tasks by setting a 15 min timer. How’s your night going?

Well this sucks. I will say that not all Shipley’s locations taste the same and I have a single favorite location in the city. I hope they don’t change 🥲

here, have a chicken

Texans are going off in this congressional redistricting hearing and I love it!

rep. jasmine crockett (D) takes the mic at the TX redistricting public hearing in houston:

Our new neighbors after work routine is to listen to music loudly on a speaker in his backyard with a bug zapper on. Every evening. So now I get to watch summer sunsets while listening to pandora ads and insects frying. 🫠

It is one million degrees outside with 700% humidity. My chickens are going through it. They have ice water, electrolyte water and plenty of shade but still look miserable.

Fall obedient plant has entered the chat #bloomscrolling

Cowpen daisy has been popular lately #nativeplants #bugsky

Utter lunacy, like what the fuck is this

And the nighttime edition: a freshhhh cicada and a fresh(ish) eastern screech owl. This owl is from a family that has been hunting in my yard all summer! You can still see some of its baby feathers. #bugsky #birdsky

I’ve been making an effort to spend time outside every day even though it feels like walking through a bowl of hot soup. Here’s some phone pics of today’s critters: a green anole and a Mississippi kite

Finally had the motivation to plant some seeds for the fall growing season. Mostly random flowers but a couple of tomato varieties too!

This last season had me on edge and I think all the actors got their moment. So much talent! I hope they win everything

And I thought Nightbitch was weird! Dengue Boy is weird, gross but entertaining in a way that I can’t look away from. I just started it yesterday and I’m already halfway done. The StoryGraph genre challenge really has me reading books I might have not picked up otherwise and I love it! #booksky

devoured this one #booksky

I did it! Shout out to the birds, squirrels, and ants for sparing this one fig

the plot thickens

Happy cancel your prime/amzn account week for those who celebrate!
