Introduce yourself with five animals you have seen in the wild: Elephant seal Sea turtle Wild turkey Groundhog Bald eagle

If this wind knocks out the electricity on Thanksgiving-eve, I'm gonna pitch a fit. I realize that won't fix anything, but it will make me feel better.

The thread we all need in these trying times.

This day deserves a rewatch of The Residence.

No kings but Haynes King! 7-0! Go jackets! Sting 'em!

Went to a No Kings protest with my mom. Very encouraged by the size of the crowd and the numbers of cars who honked as they drove by.

Found the thing that will make me give up my grudge against Apple.

My Fair Lady My mother made my sister and me watch it whenever our accents were a little too Tennessee twangy for her Georgia ears.

This is my dance about how much transphobes suck.

While some of the replies didn't contribute, I felt better after reading the others.

Scott's in Cochran, GA

I recently read Ursula K LeGuin's No Time to Spare. With everything that is going on, it was a comfort.

I'm jealous of people who are in NYC today. I would totally play a version in my town.

Stop scrolling and post 2 characters who bring you joy and happiness.

Highly recommend the public library as a place where young teens can hang out without parental supervision.

Update: garlic scape salt is excellent on a slice of buttered bread

I'm distracting myself by dealing with produce that needs to be dealt with. First up: garlic scape salt!

$107,174,260 stolen from Indiana's education system.

Today, I learned of "Louisville-style" pizza, and I am almost certain the restaurant just made that up.

I would be much less annoyed by AI if when I opted-out I remained opted-out.

How many divers dream of being able to tuck like this?

The first CSA of the season has me looking for baked goods to use up all these vegetables. It's a good problem to have. Trying this soon: notycheese.com/spinach-and-...

Between a Chicago pope and the Met Gala, this has been a fun few days on BlueSky.

I just did a stupidly hard workout that made me feel like I was dying, but as soon as I was done, I felt fine. That is a fitness goal I never knew to strive for.

A prairie trillium growing in my yard! I am beyond excited! This is a first for me.

I'm still processing my thoughts after reading this article, so my only comment right now is that you should read it.

Just saw my first hummingbird of the year!

Easter rolls! Happy Easter to those who celebrate!

I don't know what kind of tree this is, but the squirrels have been spending A LOT of time in its branches nibbling on something.

Just spent 30 minutes battling invasive species in the woods behind my house. I do in fact feel better than when I went out there.

I just comfort-ordered eight pounds of heirloom beans. We may all be broke in the near future, but I've got heirloom money now.

I've been forgiven for visiting other cats.

An hour in a cat cafe has vastly improved my mood, which is something considering everything.

I haven't read one of Heather's letters lately, because I couldn't face all the terribleness in one place, but today I was thrilled to read it thanks to Cory Booker and the people of Wisconsin. I'm so grateful for yesterday.

Watching a beautiful sunrise makes me wish I knew how to paint.

I had to make an early morning Meijer run for the preferred cat food and decided I deserved a treat. #forthegoodofmorale

While obviously a very serious matter and everyone involved should resign, the jokes today are so good. I remain convinced that laughing at these people will be part of how we win.

I wonder if cats ever watch people doing yoga and think "oooh, big stretch".

Y'all, The Residence on Netflix is a delightful cozy mystery. You will laugh, you will be entertained. Go enjoy it!

Let's play pretend dress-up to forget about the real world for a little while. We're going to a pretend party and need a pretend outfit. Post your choice in the comments. #pretendparty

A silly thing I do to entertain myself is use creative results in place of "true" and "false" when checking data. "Yay" and "boo" when I'm in a hurry. "Gonna be a good day" and "try again" when it's early. You get the idea.

My thoughts keep coming back to this thread. I assume billionaires hear yes so much that they forget that no exists, but how have they not taken this little thought journey.

This cat sure does sleep well for a thief. That is MY office chair.

Thoroughly enjoyed Honk! at my local community theater this afternoon and kept thinking about how many people in power need to learn it's ok to be different.

Pansy planting day is my favorite day of spring.

Trying to shake off the week with one of our favorite Friday night family activities: YouTube DJ. We take turns picking a song and sit around watching music videos on YouTube.

I'm proud to support the Council on Domestic Abuse and grateful for the work they do in the community. youtu.be/-hlKENISwU4?...

Starting to feel like home.

Spring is coming!

Currently playing the not fun guessing game of What will the 17 year old cat consent to eat today? None of us is enjoying this game. And yes, I know cats don't like change, but he is not currently abiding by that rule of thumb.
