I'm feeling rather eldritch today. From Old English -rice meaning realm or kingdom, el- meaning strange, otherworldy, uncanny, possibly cognate with elf. Negative connotation derived from H.P. #Lovecraft "eldritch horror" does not apply. #Etymology

Green comma butterfly (Polygonia faunus), so-called because it has green spots on the underside of the wings and a white spot shaped like a comma. #Butterfly

Why do they tell us to burn our journals?

Today's beef stew is brought to you by Best Damn Root Beer (5.5% alcohol). It's the only alcoholic root beer I've tried. I didn't like it. We'll see how it cooks in stew. 😄 #Stew #Rootbeer

A single word is enough to break a heart, but neither an apology nor a lifetime is enough to mend a broken heart.

I was searching for my pockets and couldn't find them. Then I realized I had my shorts on inside out all day. 😂 #AbsentMinded

I made a cushion. I was sorting out a bag of random yarn and found these two cushion covers that I never assembled, so I stitched them together. #Crochet

The sunlight is orange today because of wildfire smoke. It's also miserably hot, and I have a headache. #Wildfires #AirQuality #PNW #Pollution #Garden 🌱

Sylvie demanding attention. This cat tree platform is right at head height when I'm sitting in my comfy chair. She keeps bopping me on the head. #TuxedoCats #CatsOfBluesky

Prefatory remarks: TW for abuse and cruelty This is a story of abuse rooted in toxic masculinity and patriarchy. I tell this story from a position of power. I have had decades of therapy, self-observation and analysis, and healing. 🧵1/19

Something I am told but struggle with believing. My general approach is to ask what I can do to justify my existence today. Perhaps because I struggle with existing at all. The justification is for me, not anyone else. #Self #Existing #KinderWorld

I had to take down the picture I had there (a gardener's still life) because it did not work at all with the new cabinet. I went to the second-hand store for something else, and I don't think I could have done better. 😄 #ThriftStore #Thrifting #InteriorDesign

I got a new piece of furniture for my office. It has been duly approved. #TuxedoCats #CatsOfBluesky

the snake and the bird engaged in a fierce battle bird or snake? your choice dragonfly and bird both are predator and prey take your choice again #Haiku

Some pictures from around my yard today. The tree represents one of my favorite phenomena in the rainforest. The hemlock rooted in a stump, called a nurse tree. The stump will rot away leaving the younger tree looking like it's standing on tiptoes. #PNW #Rainforest #Pond #Frog #Wasp #BloomScrolling
