gm from me and this distinguished gentleman of 15 years. please say hbd to Doug!

I really want to make the what’s hot page…… so here’s a pic of my dog… 🩵✨

hey @tiamarie.bsky.social how is Wedge?!? Bennifer just escaped from her exercise ball, but we were able to locate her quickly. she smashed herself into a wall until the ball broke 🤣

Got to this little guy late but I couldn't pass on sharing it. The pollen its storing on its back is so lovely as it landed on another flower to get a bit more.

gm bsky ☺️

The oddest little things you see while on walks.

haven’t been on here as much but came back to see what @him.bsky.social was up to ☺️ hi, friend!

making my kid silver dollar pancakes because happy Mother’s Day to me!

in a stunning display of thoughtfulness and self-love, I completed the biggest task on my Friday list… on Thursday afternoon. got done early Friday and took myself to the beach

Today I’m thinking about the english prof who I asked for a letter of rec for an on-campus job. I was a star student. He even read my papers aloud to the class. His reply: “What would I write other than you were a good student and received an ‘A’ in my class?” No punchline. He was just a dick.

was traveling for work and asked to crash on a friend's couch. i wasn't feeling well so she insisted on drawing me a bath. upon getting in and noticing an oddly familiar scent, I then spied a bottle of lemon dish soap on the counter and realized i was the human equivalent of a soaking lasagna pan.

“alright guys time to put your phones away” -my kid just now, right before she passed out. Nite bsky!

was messaging about logistics for an event with an artist I know and he just lets me know it’s his birthday just flat out and it made me so happy. wish everyone would just say so like this rather than be coy or whatever

the reason it seems like arguing for position is the thing to do… is because we don’t see or hear the people who choose to simply disengage

Today, my daughter said “I hate you” I heard on a parenting vid that what they really mean is “I need a hug” (and the like) So, I asked if she needed a hug. She said yes. I hugged her and explained that she can just ask next time. Later on she walks up to me and goes: “I hate you I want a hug”

new post on allowing mediocrity in the name of sanity... and exploring alternative sources of creative fuel when mania runs out https://open.substack.com/pub/michelleakin/p/exploring-alternative-sources-of?r=b7tac&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

[on the essay i have started and stopped seventeen times today] it’s not that I have no creative juice left it’s that I don’t want to write something that isn’t good irony being that it can’t get good if I don’t work on it

This happened again. So glad it wasn’t just a passing phase, and she can whip this out whenever she likes.

I keep hearing about boobs in the blue sky. I have yet to see any. It’s just like high school again.

face id on my iphone doesn’t work when I’m yawning and this has been more disruptive for me than one might imagine

the existence of a bromance implies the existence of a hoemance

so glad linkedIn exists so netish can tell me what I’m interested in

we just discovered poison ivy in our backyard which suck but YOU GUYS APPARENTLY THERE IS A SERVICE YOU CAN GET WHERE THEY BRING GOATS TO COME AND TAKE CARE OF IT

me: ugh why does her school always need us to volunteer for stuff, I have shit to do! school: we need a volunteer to help set up the donuts with grownups event me: I WILL

So I googled chicken orb, because I was looking for a specific orb-like chicken photo and I did not expect there to be actual hamster balls you can buy to put your chickens in. https://www.chickenorb.com/

it's really cute when people just assume i came from a happy well-adjusted family with like money and stuff 🤡

we started my daughter at a ballet school and ended up not loving the place enough to commit but when i told her we were gonna try a different school she said "it's cuz i was too wobbly?" and my heart broke in a bazillion pieces

it’s been 5 long days

School drop off was extra spicy this morning… I got out of my car to help my kiddo out of her car seat, and this girl (prob 11 or 12) comes over and says, “you’re her mom?” I say yeah, and she looks me dead in the eyes and goes, “I’m surprised by some of your parenting choices.”

ok my next post will be ported over from bird site, but only because I will need to reference it for future story updates

The cutest captcha I've ever seen

do you experience your highest levels of creativity alongside being in a manic state or nah?

can't tell if need glasses or staring at screens too much

u want meta content? i wrote about my recent mania with bsky https://michelleakin.substack.com/p/is-all-creativity-a-form-of-mania

there are 4 people on here that I promised songs to. these songs are still baking in my brain and may emerge eventually i blame this on the influx of humans to this app and my subsequent scramble for other quick sources of dopamine

I invited another funny person. This time it's my comedian friend Lauren Ashley Bishop, who I met because we had the same internet stalker. Fun times!!!

Aaaaaalright my psyche needs a break, I’ll be back at some point☺️🫶🏼

good day to all except people who text me about work (period) but especially in the middle of a Sunday

I invited this nerd go high five him

was at a school event with my kid on my lap and at one point she looked all around the room and then turned to me, brushed my cheek and whispered “you’re not like the other mommies” and I still can’t tell if it was a compliment or ???

when my cousin comments on a pic of my dogs like “omg they’re getting so big!” And I just reply “lol come over” I wonder if people who see it think I’m just inviting some rando to pet my puppies 🤔

Wait @col.bsky.social you deleted a post before I could reply with this!

if you think your dog is the cutest in the world pls repost w a photo of said dog. I’ll start

A neat meat skeet

when someone makes a top viral post on twitter and then also makes a top viral post on bluesky, then that's an elite repeat tweet/skeet feat

Happy Sunday to you all! I hope your day is as calm as these waters.

was gonna make a long thread of these but i kinda hated it when someone welcomes a new user that’s a greet skeet (ok this is cute) when someone reposts a birdsite banger that’s a cheat sheet (solid mid) But then… if someone posts 🍆 that’s a meat skeet (I hate this and I hate myself)
