They could have been patrons, custodians, great stewards of the art, but instead they are looting-ass vandals, filling coffers and bringing nothing good into the world.

Guys who want rapists, nazis and pedos to get second chances usually want those second chances themselves.

Collected the bracelet I'd commissioned in Leader's memory yesterday, coincidentally 6 weeks to the minute. It.'s strawberry quartz, rhodonite and a little ruby zoicite with one silver bead patterned with hearts all around. Can't say how or why but it feels like her. Love and remembrance.

A bit of peppermint extract, a few chocolate chips and some green food coloring, and we had fine chocolate mint pancakes today. Kidsafe and whimsical. The adult version might use creme de menthe, skip the food coloring, and garnish with fresh mint leaves. The chocolate stays, it was good stuff.

That's legit though. I can waste my own damn time if I want, other ppl don't get to waste it for me.

Just got back from an afternoon tea fundraiser. These things always start off genteel. But as the caffeine kicks in and the meds wear off, the Old Aunties channel their inner honeybadger and stop giving a fuck. 1/5 #storytime

Want to make a non-espresso tiramisu. Wondering what though. Lemon? Mango? Earl grey tea?

I love pumpkin. I love squash. I'm not picky about type. I think they're a perfect vegetable, good for sweet & savory. I make excellent pie. I knew my curry skills were reaching Grandma-good levels when spouse declared my pumpkin pot 'puja-worthy'. So last month I maybe went a little too far. 1/9

‘I asked ChatGPT’ Well, I asked Gandalf and he told me you should be silent keep your forked tongue behind your teeth because he did not pass through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm.

Motivation needs milestones & rewards, so I gathered up the cheap brick sets lying around the house into big bag. Every chapter in a textbook I complete to satisfaction, I get to build one flower. Hoping to have a bouquet by the end of August. #postgrad

Tiny has been so clingy and needy since I got back from my beach trip. I'm back out to work tomorrow, and on call from the get-go. I hope she handles it ok, and doesn't start worrying that mama's hiked off again. I got ger a doggy lifejacket so next beach trip, she can come with me.

I've come across enough instances of manosphere types saying something along the lines of, "It's cute & all when girls want to get their degree, but we don't care about all that." And just like that, those clueless creeps take themselves out of the dating pool because:

We holler out loud to the Blue Men who build a new version of the world for each minute, from that one episode of the 90s Twilight Zone. One time I got desperate enough to write them a note. Works pretty well.

I do not need a replacement expensive hobby. I don't have time for a 'project'. I am not a luthier. I bought a dirt cheap broken violin on ebay. Didn't look too busted, but is it in ways I can actually fix... guess we'll see.

It’s weird to be clearly living through exactly what was warned about with global warming and still have the concept treated as a future event or hypothetical.

Took a brief sojourn through tumblr. Got reminded how nice it is that for the last few years I've only seen shipping drama related to boats in various straits, and the P word used for actual perps on the Epstein list.

Mel Brooks is 100 today. Drop a gif of your favorite of his films to celebrate.

I started reorganizing some shelves in the library and created a Rome Wasn't Built in a Day task for myself. It needed doing, we had books to set out. But getting the place worthy of a zoom meeting again will take some doing.

Really tired of tech reviews praising more AI features as a good thing. Tech bros really live in a bubble.

If every accusation is a confession 😫

The spare bedroom is nowhere near usable but at least the ball's rolling. Just keep clearing and categorizing and grouping and tossing, and one day it will look less like an episode of hoarders.

Recurrent numbness in my c7 and c8 regions ie pinky finger and environs. Ard has not been lifting her weights, and it's the high tension half of the year. Bit of nerve compression in the neck there. There are colorful dumbells all around the house for precisely this reason.

This is Lady and Piper. Lady really loves playing fetch. Maybe even enough for the two of them. 13/10 for both (TT: rachaelsteinle)

Tackled one row of boxes in the spare bedroom. Trash out, all other materials organized, and now there's framework for sorting the rest of that crafter's mess. We'll make a proper bedroom out if it yet.

Yesterday was 1 month since we no longer had to be constantly boiling chicken breasts, going through 2 dozen eggs a week, measuring out white rice & veg in the perfect ratio, & lining up long rows of pills. And none of it had ever felt like a burden because that's just what you do for who you love🌈🐕

Bilbo Baggins was completely right about the joys of a comfy armchair on a rainy day, with good books, and as a bonus, a dog under each arm and half a dozen more scattered about the room napping. #hobbitlife In odder news, my appleseeds have borne vining plants. Hecking cross pollination, what?

About a year ago i bought some potting soil off one of the trucks that passes through the neighbourhood. I've purchased before with no issues but That Truck in particular gets no more sales from me. The bags were half rubble. Stones the size of a fist.

Vaguely wanting another cucumber lime popsicle from that stand by the beach.

Pondering how Batman and Spiderman swing around cities pretty much the same damn way, this fine morning.

If women, POC and women who are POC really were as incapable of achieving anything as these turd gurglers would like to believe, they wouldn't have to do so much work erasing the evidence.

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." is sanitized horseshit. Surviving trauma is active, deliberate, and a constant struggle to keep going and not give in. The trauma didn't make you stronger, you became stronger because you stood the fuck up and kept fighting.

Miss Izz sits longingly outside the library when I go in. I invite her in but Devil usually bars the way, with good reason. Izzy just isn't a study buddy yet. She wants active petting and attention, and to constantly walk on me and block the screen. Older library hounds just pick a spot and chill.

If i can read 10 pages a day, i can have The Textbook done in 100 days. Of course, 'reading' encompasses flashcarding, mindmapping, diagramming and all the other methods to actually absorb those pages. And there is still the practical angle to work on. Anyhow, there is a plan.

Inside me are two wolves and they're both winning, because in this house no canid goes hungry

"How do you know he's evil?" "... He has a SKULL for a face!! And he's played by Jared Leto."

Relative's 70th bday party. What a time to find out that the glue on these nipple pasties may not be agreeing with my skin.

Got up with 'I had a good break' energy and tackled a clutter corner that we've been staring at for years. One XL trashbag out the door, a great cardboard box and some lidless dogtreat jars being repurposed, & the whole thing feng shuied good and proper.

Hello! 👋 I'm hoping to raise money for two Bay Area cat rescues. If you post a screenshot of you donating at least $20, I will answer a style-related question for you. But first, let me tell you about the rescues, why they're worthy of your support, and hopefully get you to adopt a cat. 🧵

Congress is trying to delist Gray Wolves through a backdoor. A rider in the Interior funding bill would strip federal protections and block judicial review—based on politics and not science. Tell your Rep to oppose this poison pill: teamwolf.org

I wish 'standard heights' of chairs, countertops, mirror installations etc hadn't all been set by caucasian metrics because i'm average height for a South Asian woman and I'm perpetually living a tiptoe life.

Well dinner got weird because a bunch of old people got transphobic & then I found my voice, pointed out the misinformation about transitioning, & tied transphobic laws to the racism angle, because that part they understand and maybe it planted a seed? At least the food was good & the cat liked me.

I can't find anything on why the attack even happened in the first place. Did they know each other? Was there bad blood? Was Alodid in need of intervention he wasn't getting? No explanation makes it ok but no explanation means i can't rule out him being paid.

Got up early but it's pouring outside, so I went back to sleep and had my weirdest Sephiroth dream yet. I'm handling business in a bustling clinic when a nurse hustles me down the hall saying he needs an IV inserted for his treatment and his regular doctors need to do it.

I found sea glass in 3 colors. Helps that there's a huge bar beachside.

@gojiraspouse.bsky.social your guy's being epic again

My residency-broke ass is chilling on beaches in my backyard and feeling far richer than that soulless husk ever has.

I hadn't realized he was in it and honestly found it a loving tongue-in-cheek take on 80s cartoons in general.
