Oh God I would bet you 5 American dollars these people went to the same timy liberal arts college I did

Making bubble and squeak about it

I've been on the edge of a weather migraine for 24 hours and also I think I messed up the tendon connecting my right biceps muscle and elbow and it huuurts

Wow, the arena sports reporter at the Blue Jays game is wearing a lady Canadian tuxedo (denim skirt and a denim vest-style top)

Twinkle got gabapentin last night and this afternoon in hopes of chilling her out, but while last night she zonked out within an hour, today she was as freaked out and hard to catch as usual, poor little girl

Watched some of the most recent season of Lego Masters Australia with my sister and BIL, and he astutely identified the Swedish team, Albin and Vidar, as dressing like Miss Rachel

LITTLE ITALY earned its R rating entirely through "sexual content"

Nephew enjoyed all of these but he LOVED the whisk

This weekend was instructive on both the significant differences between caring for children vs cats—for instance, adult cats are much better at communicating than baby humans!—and their shared interest in colorful toys that crinkle

Just so people are aware, Primitive War is now available on Hulu. Repeat, Primitive War is now available on Hulu.

Oh cool, three cousins and a cousin's wife are all pregnant. I definitely wanted to hear about this

I 100% believed it was about the enclosure of the commons!

I just learned what the phrase "tragedy of the commons" means and got very indignant

It sucks so bad to have significantly less energy than my elderly parents

Can YOU find the Easter eggs in this photo??

There's a mourning dove hanging out in a plant pot on the porch and Hamburger's gonna get it!!

I really do look like exactly like my dad and brother, huh

Visit from the family

What's better than watching My Neighbor Totoro with small children, I ask you

Double-acting baking powder has two acids, one that activates when it gets wet, one that has to heat up to baking temperatures first! It was revolutionary for speeding up the creation of what Wikipedia delightfully calls "breadstuffs"

Okay, the Everest story made me curious about why baking powder would make you feel sick, and it turns out it's a really cool substance! It leavens by an acid-base reaction, so too much would fill you up with CO2 bubbles and probably make you feel awful

Wild!

Oh cool, Dad also now has fucking GOUT, that's probably just a coincidence

Brains got grumpy at the baby nephew for following her around and scratched him 😿

In parental news: Dad is on a GLP-1, and after my siblings and I told my dad he was wrong about something he was wrong about, Mom tried telling us "when I was your age, I would never have challenged an older person like that"

Zazzle is such a little cat, she makes Twinkle look huge

Zazzle is watching the rain

Three stars is "I didn't have a bad time," three.5 is "I had a good time"

That first page reminds me of the best comic I ever found on DeviantArt.

It's surprising to me that Ryan Coogler is going full-bore into spec fic when that was by far the weakest part of SINNERS, but I guess it just proves most people didn't think that!

OOOOOOH my rheumatologist says there are actual treatments for Sjogren's syndrome coming out in the next year or so!!!

Puppet making Thread! I don't claim to be an expert, but I thought someone might like to see my process. My monsters are all homemade projects for fun.

AskReddit threads about ghost stories and unsolved mysteries

I thought for sure Zazzle would hide when my loud family got here, but she stayed out in the open in her room! even came up to the gate

Okay the only task remaining before my family gets here this evening is showering!!

Mail Carrier Hurt To Learn Residents On His Route Have Been Receiving Electronic Mail https://theonion.com/mail-carrier-hurt-to-learn-residents-on-his-route-have-been-receiving-electronic-mail/

It kind of drives me crazy that the conventional leftist wisdom is "ugh, space exploration, how capitalist" and nobody talks about how China is planning manned moon missions in the next five years

Got to see Twinkle greet Zazzle with a cheek rub and a little forehead kiss 🥹🥹🥹

Seeing Americans approach the moon

Bedroom, hall, kitty room/study, living room, dining room, upstairs bathroom, AND I took a shower

I very carefully portioned out the preparations for my family visiting this weekend so I wouldn't totally exhaust myself, and uhhhh this has thrown a bit of a wrench in the works

Didn't take my night meds till like 2:30 instead of 9PM, so I didn't fall asleep till like 4; and I am Fried
