I'm at the combination

Being on both sides as a Dog Rescue Volunteer & a Desperate Potential Adopter, I gotta tell you they both suck. Nothing about this process is fun for anyone involved.

The first of a set of crocheted Disney Princess dolls, a gift for a young friend this Christmas. I learned 2 new stitches & her wig was a huge pain in the ass

Sent out a dog application today, trying not to get my hopes up too high. I know the right dog for our family will find us when the time is right. We're either getting a dog for Christmas or going to Albuquerque (& getting a dog afterwards). We're going to be okay.

Scary movies starring "practical effects we can't afford to overuse" will always yield a much scarier movie than CG/AI effects. TBF computers can do very scary things IRL but they are far inferior at haunting spaceships or old Victorian mansions.

I'm ridiculously thankful for the 12 years she gave us. Still wish it could have been so many more.

Jack White is the king of “indie dudes love sports too” representation matters baby

There was a moment a few weeks ago that I thought we should not "replace" our elderly dogs when their time was up, so we could spend more time traveling when we eventually retire. It hasn't even been 24 hours without CocoPuff & the house feels so empty I don't know how to live like this.

The greatest dog to ever grace this planet has passed away and I don't think I will ever be able to stop crying. Rest in Peace little CocoPuff. You gave us more joy every day than we could ever possibly have deserved.

Practicing a few easy patterns before tackling some more complicated dollies for my niece's Christmas gift

Latest crochet project, the Magician's Assistant from Beetlejuice! She was a bit more challenging but not as difficult as I feared #craftsky

I might be posting this from 1973 but I just saw THE STING for the first time & cannot get over Eileen Brennan being an absolute DAME, wow what a woman

💀💀💀

#3157 A helpful tutorial

Once again the officials have decided the game will go against Detroit before the opening kickoff, and Cris Collinsworth is still a rancid leprous limp dick. #nfl

“Parents who, after consulting with a doctor and a psychologist, allow their 15-year-old child to transition commit child abuse. The child is too young to consent!” --Megyn R. Kelly “Grown men who have sex with your 15-year-old? Big whoop! It’s not like she’s 8. LOL!” --Also Megyn R. Kelly

The thing I don't see discussed about PLURIBUS is that the "new consciousness" people might be genuinely benevolent & Carol might be wrong about everything. Vince Gilligan's main characters are likable but flawed. When has he ever written one that was right & made good choices?

Just a reminder for the trolls following me, I'm not here to fight you I'm here to block you. I don't give a shit what you think about it.

I don't often drink coffee so when I do, it's the BEST & it's from @brickroadcoffee.bsky.social in Tempe AZ. You never tasted coffee so delicious, in a cozy welcoming environment that you'll never want to leave! 🏳️‍🌈☕🏳️‍⚧️ They play Golden Girls episodes on the wall all day!

I think I sewed the wings on backwards but fuck it

Felt this in my BONES, I always blamed it on my House Is Too Quiet syndrome but it's probably the crafting!

No Northern Lights here but I did get some good Eastern Lights (a pretty sunrise)

Booked a little Christmas-adjacent weekend in ABQ for next month. No cooking, no decorating, no pressure, just wandering around looking at lights & having a reason to wear sweaters & drink cocoa for the first time in 9 years

I needed this so badly today & so do you!

Now, I have a friend named Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla, And I could say that Rufus found a kangaroo That followed Rufus home And now that kangaroo belongs To Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla I could say that, but I don't have to Cuz I've got pronouns

Fall has arrived in Phoenix, daytime highs are in the 80s and upwards of 20 leaves have changed color for some reason. Time to make some crock pot chili.

Any terrified NY millionaires who are fleeing after Mamdani's victory & would like me to take over your apartment lease, please submit your pitch by EOB tomorrow. I will let you know which one I've chosen by Monday.

I made a pet turtle, his name is Daniel. He has a rounded shell like a tortoise & flippers like a sea turtle, but the pattern is from Australia & who knows, maybe they have tortugas like that

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

Uh oh, new hobby just dropped! I've been crocheting for decades but never learned how to read a pattern until last week, now I shall be UNSTOPPABLE

I haven't watched ROAD HOUSE in about 35 years & profoundly underestimated the absolute smoldering hotness of Sam Elliott in 1989

We gave out full size candy bars this year, most kids (& parents) were excited. Only one little shit tried to grab two, I told my husband we found the Young Republican

Waaaaait was this on purpose?

Tomorrow Jean is always going to get up early & exercise & clean the house & chop healthy vegetables for dinner while Today Jean only ever wants to butter some noodles & watch TV

The 4K restoration of IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS is absolutely gorgeous, I saw details I've missed a dozen times. And the box set comes with all this cool shit (slipcover, book, double-sided poster, special features on the disc). Purchased from Arrow Video directly, great service.

Thinking about my "niece" Katie & how at age 6 she sternly informed me "You're not my REAL aunt" (correct) but now as an adult she's like "I love u Aunt Jean" & basically anyone who has an issue with the title is 6 yrs old inside

For an afternoon snack I tried making a chocolate-peanut butter-coffee smoothie & now I feel like I could chop the dinner vegetables at the speed of light ⚡

After getting caught bopping to "Baby" at the gym, I was accused of having Bieber Fever so I replied "baby baby baby NOOOOO" because I thought at the age of 40 I was immune

Trumpism is all about a rapist’s mindset, which sees trickery and force as SUPERIOR to getting what it wants by mutual agreement, creepily eroticizing things that theoretically have nothing to do with sex

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Go College Sports! Go Your Favorite Team! (I am unaffiliated, I just hope everyone has a good time)

Absolutely no one spends $350 million on a remodel to a house they plan on leaving in three years. No one!!!

personally i think it's understandable for video games to be expensive but if they're expensive they need to be good and the people who make them need to get paid and treated well

Out of the 3 Andy Muschietti horror flicks I've seen (Mama, It, It 2), he has failed to harm the family pet in any of them. Even though the It book has a VERY upsetting pet death because Stephen King fucking loves doing that. I love u Andy Muschietti ❤️

Somewhere nearby, a quiet Maine town is being haunted by Poundfoolish, a clown who consistently blows his entire child luring budget on elaborate mylar balloons shaped like Baby Yoda and Spongebob. They get stuck in the sewer grate.

Someone just called my phone, sneezed, and then hung up. I'm getting sick and tired of these cold calls.

Reminiscin’ this’n that and havin’ such a good time. Oo-De-Lally, Oo-De-Lally golly what a day.

Gonzaga. now there's a university with a name that sounds like the noise an erection makes from seeing a nice pair of gonzagas

I watch horror flicks all year, but in October my husband volunteers to join me. This weekend we watched HOUSE OF THE DEVIL and Brian De Palma's original theatrical cut of CARRIE and he loved them both! God I married well, I really did.
