After this Pennsic, work feels like an alien planet. However, this planet has AC and flush toilets, so I’m coping.

80oz of bacon fat, and another #10 can that would not fit in the jar. We’re not so much an encampment as we are a rendering plant.

Huh. Just got back from a startlingly authentic recreation of a Bacchanal. I don’t think I’ll ever react to the smell of olive oil the same way again.

“Prairie Joy” is still blooming, relatively unmolested by beetles. I wonder if that's because it's nearly scentless? Bred by Henry H. Marshall, Canada, 1977. www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l... #nature #photography #roses #flowers #bloomscrolling #rosewednesday #Rose #Rosa #Roos #バラ #장미 #троянда

Finished #Sandman S2E6. I get that I'm right in the target demo, and cling to a rosy fondness for the source material. I get that nostalgia is no friend to objectivity. None of that matters when it's on the screen. It does my memory justice. So far, I honestly love every perfect flaw.

Watching alleged leftists coopting posts about Texas in order to drag politicians they don't like is fucking disgusting. They had better all be bot posts, because if they're human then they're less human than the bots. Take your not-dying-in-a-flood-privilege and shove it up your storm drain.

Unknown rambler from Mystic Seaport, CT. If I had to guess, I'd say it's "Seven Sisters" because that's almost as ubiquitous as R. multiflora itself. #nature #photography #roses #flowers #bloomscrolling #rosewednesday #Rose #Rosa #Roos #バラ #장미 #троянда

Norwich, CT has a nice little rose garden, but almost nothing is labeled, so I have no clue what variety this is. But rainwater made it look like a bowl of noodles, and the fly sealed the deal for #MacroMonday. #nature #photography #roses #bloomscrolling #flowers #Rose #Rosa #Roos #バラ #장미 #троянда
