Brian Jonestown Massacre for #musicsky. Sleep well, feel well. This is what that looks like this eve. youtu.be/VrqTKG5WuXM?...

3 things I did this summer: 1) visited Leonard Cohen’s grave & thought I wouldn’t break down. (Broke down.) Wait… did the rest of the summer matter as much? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Sure it did, at some point, somewhere.

You will prevail. Your cats, dogs & loved ones just gotta make it a few years. I’ve lived a long time for a young (?) years & I *know* the lie won’t live. We’ve seen it before, somewhere. We’ve watched it die. It’ll die in its rotting shoes & core where it belongs. youtu.be/L_VEdra0wUE?...

Jeeeez, you people are wonderful. I’ve got more messages from YOU than most people I know in waking/walking life. No worries. I take D E E P breaks from social. Truth is, I’ve been running people’s social accounts for 16 years. Burn out. I stay anonymous. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ll be back. Xx youtu.be/VrafPlgQlME?...

@beautyprotector.bsky.social Finally got to make your cream of jalapeño soup. 😋 Thank you!

Keep talking, moron.

White, black & orange aren’t only the monarch’s colors also the Ailanthus webworm moth (Atteva aurea) on common milkweed Chicago, Illinois, July 20, 2025 #macro #photography #butterflies #Lepidoptera #nature #native #insects #bugs #gardens #gardening #bloomscrolling #flowers #pollinators

Hard to get anything done with such friendly sheeps around #sheep #pets #friends #farm

Found this lone Monarch caterpillar in my milkweed patch and moved him/her to a mesh butterfly cage for safety. We have few Monarchs in this area, and most of the caterpillars in my garden are taken by predators if I don’t get to them first. Will release after metamorphosis. #Monarch 🦋 #Butterflies

The tiniest bumblebee pollinating the eggplant flowers. 🐝 And now that I’m watching this video, I can see spider mites on the plant. They have been a hellish battle this year! #gardening #pollinators

Ozzy is one of like 3 people in Decline of Western Civilization Part 2 that comes off as a decent human being and I always love the scene where Penelope Spheeris interviews him making breakfast while he explains the ups and downs of the business.

I’ve been wearing the same kind of eyeliner for 33 years & now it’s been discontinued. I’m a cat-liner style person & I could wield that brush with ease, even in a moving vehicle. All eyeliner is not created equally & now I need a replacement. 😩 This won’t be easy. RIP, Maybelline Ultra Liner. 🪦

Beautiful monarch butterfly is in the garden egg bombing the milkweed like crazy & sipping nectar from zinnia & lantana. I had to run in because the mosquitoes are really biting this morning, but I’ll go out egg hunting in a bit! If you grow it, they will come. #gardening #pollinators

Gotta watch this one with sound on. ☠️ 😂

🥴

“I am an immigrant.” “Get the hell out.” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social triggered this Jubilee participant so hard that his racism jumped right out onto the table.

1- Went out to rehang a few monarch chrysalis’ because they chose super awkward places to hang. I hung them up with dental floss. 🙃

SO many different kinds of bees in the garden today. Haven’t had a big butterfly year yet, but the bees are really buzzing in. 🐝 #gardening #pollinators

With the updated RCV totals just released by the Board of Elections, our campaign has officially earned the most total votes in a primary in New York City history.

My first case of blossom end rot on these baby tomatoes! Gross. It’s a mystery plant, because I can’t remember what type it was. It’s planted far from where I usually grow the others & they’re all fine. Wonder what I did differently to this plant. Maybe I over fertilized. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #gardening #🍅

It is HOT in NYC. Headed to 94, but with the humidity it’s already a real feel of 100. 😮‍💨 The feral cats have melted like ice-cream. Monty opts for the shade tent today & Angie takes the roof of the oldest cat house. Heavy rain expected at some point.

Pollen dusted bumblebee working the echinacea & the oregano that has just started to bloom. I grew extra Greek oregano for them, but so far only the Italian is blooming. #🐝 #gardening #pollinators

The zinnias are finally starting to pop! The new cat sitter/garden sitter managed to keep everything alive & well while I was gone. 🙌🏼 #gardening #bloomscrolling

4th & last day of peacefulness in the Catskills. It’s gonna be hard hitting the NYC chaos & cement this time around, but at least I got to break from it at all.

Kaaterskill Falls in the Catskills, upstate NY.

This absolute legend in Phoenicia, New York… #nokings #fuckdonaldtrump

I have escaped the city & having my morning coffee by a creek in the Catskills. Lots of rest & nature for me this holiday weekend! Not a lot of internet time (or WiFi) & I’m grateful. My wake up alarm went off at the perfect time while taking this clip. 😆

“This bill is a deal with the devil…” #FuckTrump #FuckRepublicans

My wife: Please don’t forget to water the plants while we’re gone! Me: Don’t worry. I got it covered.

A cute male Widow skimmer stopped by to say hey- #insects

Here’s a slow motion video that I took of a beautiful hornet’s nest that’s on my back deck. If you move really slow and approach the nest with confidence, they won’t be bothered your presence. I’ve coexisted with yellow jackets living in my raised beds multiple seasons. #nature #video #hornet

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

This is Smokey, sound up

Listen closely for the little kitten snores. 😭 These 2 are up for adoption via NYC cat rescue, Whiskers-a-GoGo. For more info, you can head to their Instagram: www.instagram.com/p/DLlOUPkybO...

Ron and Darlene just now, for a friend...

Gorgeous female monarch butterfly excitedly danced through the garden & egg bombed the milkweed. I collected 25 eggs before I sweat to death & came inside. I’m sure there are more… caterpillars don’t last in this yard (wasps & tachnid flies), so I’ll raise them in an outdoor enclosure. 1/2

I ♥️ NY

While I wait for the tomatoes to plump up & ripen, I searched my pics for tomato & see all the deliciousness that awaits! 🍅 Caprese salads, bruschetta on homemade crostini, southern tomato pie, etc. Hungry now. 🥹

The Hungarian government's desperate efforts to ban the Budapest #Pride2025 have been thoroughly thwarted. Long live freedom, liberty and democracy. So proud of Hungarians - from all walks of life and political persuasions - for showing up en masse today. 📷 András Jámbor©️

Pasta with tuna, lemon & capers might not be a pretty dish, but it’s absolutely delicious hot or cold. A perfect summer pasta. 🍋

This poor bumblebee has a torn wing. I found her struggling, gave her some water & then placed her on some butterfly weed. I hate that she’s suffering & that I can’t help her. 🥺 #bees

The heatwave is over & it feels absolutely glorious! I know the plants & animals that couldn’t escape it are sighing in relief. I’m gonna give the garden a nice drink & enjoy being outside without getting fried.

Hey remember when that US politician was assassinated the other day? This river has flooded and she's long gone already.

Cue the Trump attacks on Zohran Mamdani who just won the Democratic Primary for NYC Mayor.

What actor's expression in a movie will stay with you for the rest of your life?

Occasionally the drinking fairy brings us presents! 🧚 That means that sometimes we get drunk & buy ourselves random gifts & forget about them until they arrive. 😂 This gem arrived today; an autographed photo of Chrissie Hynde. 🔥 She will need framing asap.

Waking up to see this headline - "Big Balls Resigned from Government Job". What a time to be alive.
