Lol, it's like watching @fumblebee.bsky.social drive in games.

Breathing hard 'cause you had to go to the bathroom. So cool.

the local paper in my town posted a bigoted rant exclaiming "illegals and muslims are not our friends." my muslim friends are shaken. i would like some suggestions on how to be supportive--i definitely plan on checking in with them. i'm not linking to the letter. the paper is the odessa american

Desert sunflowers, and a more white pinkish desert verbena as compared to the more typical purple verbena in the last photo (Photos: Sicco Rood).

I'm so very tired of hearing how poor people and immigrants and Democrats and people who support DEI and environmental protection and free lunch for schoolkids (and on and on) are "destroying our country". I'm quite sore today and feeling very Not A Net Asset. 😥 Oof. Almost meds time. Coffee. 🖤

"I'm still deeply confused about the supposed masculinity crisis. I can think of a bunch of accounts on Bluesky that I'd put on an Eminently Masculine list. In a good way." "We are going to get into so goddamn much trouble if you start listing them." "..." "Gets worse the more you think, don't it."

Okay. Gonna listen to some of these. Unless I'm wrong about my brain being up to hearing music with words (that I understand).

The photos for this new listing for an adoptable void kitty at Tails cracked me up.

Rather surprised Tokyo Godfathers is only on Tubi and AppleTV. Gosh. (I should check the library apps, I guess.) Do I want to see if anyone's streaming Katamari? 🤔 Or Outlaws? 🤔 I wish I felt less wiggly and restless. I'll load the dishwasher and see if anything comes to me.

What a great video to stumble across! These all sound wonderful! <6 mins. youtu.be/1x4kpVYKQF0?...

Harmless fishermen: KILL THESE DRUG TRAFFICKERS Actual drug trafficker: Pardon this nice man, we need him to protect the Island Of Billionaire Fuckery.

At one point, I owned 3 extra long winter car scraper-brush things. Not one of them is anywhere around here or in the car. And my nice purple ski gloves are missing. I have my black gloves, and that is good, but they don't really work if there's any wind. They are probably 15 years old.

Therapy accomplished. Phew. I spent a lot of time talking about how much effort I put in just not sinking into the mire. ("Fight against the sadness, Artax!") But a good chunk of that tonight was: "I decided I need to have a kitty for Christmas, so, one way or another...!" And my therapist...

I love this about them. 😆 Even my ones that are like 20 carbs instead of 75. "I don't wanna eat. ☹️ Well. 'Birthday cake', huh?" (I need to get some more.)

New ep.: @profgabriele.com explains the Crusade's role in the imaginary of the Right and how bad history has shaped modern views of the Crusades. We discuss how they serve as a projection screen for current political aims, and how Islamophobia features. (Intro in German, interview in English!)

I named my fists Flotsam and Jetsam, 'cause you're a poor unfortunate soul. (I did this 'cause anything is funny when I think of my tiny lil pudge fists having names. I'm not sure they even deserve a phoneme each. [Looks at typing hand.] Are you offended? You g9nna hit ne? Just typo? Yup.)

I've set an alert for the Spelman-Morehouse Christmas Carol Concert on Saturday. I hope I can catch it and that the sound is good. 🍀🍀🍀

I have a soft spot for the traditional Christian carols. I think my favorite is "Good King Wenceslas." 🎵 Ye who now will bless the poor shall yourselves find blessing Secular... Hm. I don't actually know it very well, but it might be "Walking in the Air." youtu.be/rsz6-rLBCqc?...

The new The Sixteen holiday album is hitting the spot for me tonight. So far, it's pretty, quiet, and not super jolly. Oh, I typed that and now we have a sprightly song, lol. music.amazon.com/albums/B0FLQ...

Me getting a cat status update: I haven't heard from the floofy girl's mom in over 2 weeks. I texted her on Friday and haven't heard back. If she worked out a way to keep her, that's great! If not, I'm still interested! But now if I hear about another cat needing a home...

I was feeling kinda down and stressed 'cause I can't deal with the snow. I'm not sure how much we got, maybe 9 inches. Enough that it needs to be cleared for me to do things like take out a bag of trash or go clear off the car and take it for a run. And I don't feel horrible, but...

Flowers got another good drink of water during the last rain event to keep them going through the winter (Photos: Sicco Rood).

Next up in #ExploreYourArchives week, we have just a few of the #beauty products available on the market at the end of the 19th century, found in the J.C. Sawer archive (MS/485/4). #EYABeauty

I unintentionally quit lamotrigine completely. (Stopped the higher dosage, didn't manage to pick up the new prescription for the old dosage.) And then realized I really did not want to start taking it again. Yeah. I'm normally more cautious than this. I think. But it's going okay so far. ...

The whole part about "Remember Me" in "Coco" reminded me of "Somewhere Out There" from "An American Tail", so this song's been in my head, too. youtu.be/2jzlSeFLr7A?...

I watched "Coco" a couple days ago. A bunch of the music's been stuck in my head, but it's also pulling in random things like "Strangers in the Night" and "Take On Me". Ha! Silly.

I just found this cam while looking for something a little different. Looks like it could be very good cat TV! www.youtube.com/live/sAVhm6v...

My favorite thing about wearing a floppy cowl neck is unconsciously pulling it over the bottom of my face again and again while listening to conversation until another adult asks what’s wrong with me, startling me out of my relaxing cowl listening state.

Just me scrolling along confused about why there was a big parade. I understood after only *mumble* posts. I don't know what to say. But I enjoyed the video with the K-Pop Demon Hunters song. Maybe I'll see the movie someday. I just spaced out for at least 5 minutes. Sheesh. Dryer!

hi reminder to please tag your art and alt text it! yes your art is neat but also there are people with things like trypophobia who might not appreciate your cool horror art full of tons of eyes?

I was not prepared to have Icelandic literature read to dirt by Ursula K. Le Guin

@fumblebee.bsky.social , relevant to our convo the other day! I'll try to read it in a bit. Need food.

I started playing Meow Tower. It's a nonogram game, and I haven't really played one before and I hadn't done one of the puzzles in a very long time. The logic part is absorbing, which is good for my brain, but I don't have a system yet, so I spend a lot of time staring.

Speaking of laundry: I've been wondering why I didn't have sports bras anymore when I'd just bought some a few months ago. I moved my purse and found all 3 sports bras that it's been nesting on. (It also collected some magazines and Medicare mail.) My purse has less cushion for its ass now. 🧺🧼🫧

I *had* to get out of my house, whether it was 3 a.m. and exactly freezing degrees or not. I had a car here again, so I bundled up and went driving around for half an hour. I bought a can of Ghost at 7-11 after staring at the drinks fridge way too long. I hoped I'd find Alani Nu and was not...

If you stand at your kitchen counter with a murder mystery audiobook going and considering things you saw on the news while eating pecan pie, your brain will ask you what AMOC-laufen would entail. Then you have to put down the sugar.

I love the airplane-ears coyote.

I was looking for something else and ran across this. I... I really want it. www.chewy.com/smile-paws-t...

I'm sure the last time I saw this, it was actually @carodjah.bsky.social 's Millie. And she's like 2 years younger than Valérian. (YES I know people's cats & trivia I am on psych meds thank you) Challenge is for @fumblebee.bsky.social 's kittens now.

I was just sitting here, feeling slightly organized. Got some roses in a vase. Got some meds labeled and in the right places. Found a check in the mail and didn't lose it yet. Leaned back in my chair and realized I've spent 3 hours with my hair in a falling-out braid 'cause I didn't scrunchie it.
