I should draw some people wearing interesting jewelry . . .

I'd been wondering why my skin has been disliking the cold so much the last few days and it finally hit me: I got the lower SPF lotion. It's winter, I'm mostly indoors, it should be fine to get the cheaper one, right? Ha. Not when the cheaper one is a chemical sunscreen. Seems I'm just that delicate

It's neither fair nor fun that I have to get up to an alarm in the mornings. That really should be fixed in the next update, it would greatly improve the user experience . . .

If you think about it, nuts are basically just one kind of plant egg . . .

Knowing how to do things yourself is good, actually. It's why even though we have calculators we teach kids how to do arithmetic by hand before turning them loose on the calculators for later stuff

Oh come on, did they even have the excuse of him interrupting to heckle or was it just that they couldn't handle seeing the sign? (Even if he was heckling I seem to remember a certain former representative setting a precedent that that's acceptable)

The other day we were in Tractor Supply and we heard the sad sound... tiny peeps... chicks no more than a couple days old crying out for moms they will never see again. #chickdays are here. 💔 ...see comments 👇 #chicken #rooster #compassionforall #starlandsanctuary

The State of the Union: the president is a corrupt demented sex criminal who tried to overthrow the constitution.

It could easily be a misapprehension on my part, but it's interesting how much more common it seems to be becoming culturally that only another woman, or another black person, can offer opinions of any merit on some topics. It used to seem the idea only women should comment on abortion was niche

A lovely night to not have to endure incoherent geriatric rambling.

They did such good jobs finding sticks despite the snow!

If only they cared about ICE terrorizing children and families as much as they do that people are boycotting his speech!

A stowaway...😃

CATS. Or, if you prefer, FELINES.

Good news? Nah, gotta be a trap somehow . . .

Nothing beats a cardinal . . . except a cardinal on a snowy branch.

Wait, so we're supposed to eat mostly Judaism, and only have USA as an occasional treat?

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

My toes are cold.

No, sadly life is just a series of paying taxes . . .

REEEEEEEAL good look. Good doggie.

Purrfection. Someone's going to be very lucky!

My dream is to be the US Bicycle Association's spokesman, pedaling misinformation to the masses.

34 hours, and yet somehow I never can get everything I need to done. It's unfair. I could at least get to use the extra 10 hours to go to the gym or play games or something!

Day 1334 of #IansDailyPhotoChallenge and we sometimes see these hopping around up in the trees, but it was a rare treat to actually get a photo of a nuthatch today 🤗 #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters #365DaysWild

Customer service in a nutshell. No wonder modern life is so fun. It's as great to be asking a question like that as to be on the receiving end . . .

It's funny how a core tenet of criminal law is the assumption there's such a thing as a reasonable person. Likewise of neutrality or fairness. I grew up believing that relying on who says something instead of the nature of the idea was fallacious. But it seems that idea's soundly rejected by most.

What the actual fuck is wrong with PowerPoint that you can't remove a date. It automatically generates and I can't interact with it at all to get rid of it. Microsoft's website oh-so-helpfully only wants to tell me how to ADD a date, not remove one.

It's interesting English common law deemed certain sexual violence serious to the point it had to be a capital offense, but also considered it unimportant enough to have it hard to successfully prosecute. Or, perhaps likelier, the sentence was seen as too harsh, hence the reluctance to deliver it.

The trouble with people is having to communicate with them. And communication means trying to figure out what people think and want, and if you get good enough at it you stop being able to listen to what people actually SAY because you're so conditioned to try to figure out what they MEAN. No like.

Bedtime would be much sadder without dried fruit in my trail mix. I eat the peanuts and walnuts and pecans to get to the cranberries and raisins. I eat the cranberries and raisins because they get me through the healthy proteins and fats. (This is not to say I hate the aforementioned not-fruits.)

I still think id make a knock out indie book cover. Reminder that I'm actively looking for work. If you're an indie author id love to work with you.

Billions of your tax dollars are going to Palantir — and the police state it's helping Trump build could soon be used against you.

Ah, so that's why there's the saying about keeping secrets and being dead . . .

The thunderstorm ate my sunset. Lost Ponds, Mattatuck State Forest, Plymouth, Connecticut. Winds ahead of the coming storm ripple the pond's surface, distorting the reflection of the thunderhead engulfing the setting sun. July 14, 2018, 7:41 PM. #sunset #hiking #forest #lake

Sunlight breaking through the clouds over the Howgills. Taken from the top of Orton Scar. #morning #Cumbria #westmorlanddales #UK

🤦

This is rather brilliant. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q71X...

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws. You know, like a democracy.

I refuse to feel bad for praising my cat's looks. She knows they are her best asset and exploits them mercilessly. It is only right to acknowledge her effort. (But she, and all, are perfect in more ways than one.)

New rule, once you get ten million dollars they take away your phone

BUNNY

Talked to one of the humans back home, only to be interrupted by a cat who was very offended that the doorway was being stood in and partly blocked. Turns out she wanted to run, and of course it's best to clear your space before doing that.

It can, however, be eaten. Right? It can be eaten right?!

Temu Agamemnon. I think this should be his epitaph when the time comes.

Oh. "Greenland Politics" is trending. This can only mean good things are in the news. . . . Yep.

Swimming is when put little body of water in big body of water.

Dark chocolate is the best chocolate.

Had a very interesting dream that people started sending me music recommendations unprompted. Which somehow suited my tastes, to boot. I don't know what was up with that; am pretty sure I'm not needing recommendations at the moment.

Protein? No thanks, I was more of an amateur teen myself
