Oof, vanilla extract is A LOT more expensive than the last time I bought it. I mean, A LOT.

There's a new season of Sugar coming right in time for my birthday, whee! www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJMb...

I just had a smoothie with tahini in it, and I don't think I'll ever be having a smoothie without tahini in it ever again. Yum!

@no-detective.bsky.social Happy birthday, friend! I hope your day has been treating you well, and you‘ve been enjoying all the good things. 🎂🎉🥂🍾🎈🌸🎊😘

Red and green breakfast

It’s the magic hour. Gabby is on her sofa AND in her sunbeam. Perfect happiness.

A special shoutout from Gabby to cat moms everywhere

Netflix served up the Veronica Mars movie, so I went with it. Whew, am I ever glad that was the end of the story and there was never another season of the show. (There was never another season of the show, just go with it)

Gab has developed an interest in literature

It’s drab out, but my breakfast is colorful at least

One of the most shameless grifters I ever worked with has publlished a playbook for using AI in our industry. SHOCKER.

Happy 11th birthday to Gabby! A precious baby and the cutest little muffin ever ❤️

Ugh, my toaster is on its last legs--which, to be fair, is not that surprising. It's probably 25 years old. Sadly, everything seems made to fail these days. Yes, I am a grump old lady. Does anyone have recs for a reasonably good toaster that's not super expensive?

Whooh boy, I cannot even tell you how much money I just spent at the vet on a checkup for my perfectly healthy cat. Gabby says that making her miserable should not be so expensive

Mine is a Teen Wolf fic (because of course it is) in which Stiles gets a wolf tattoo, Derek has feelings about it, and also there are ghouls and waffles archiveofourown.org/works/504839

Are we supposed to root against the killings in S2 of Cross? Because that's going to be a bar too high for me.

Some asshole lit up the rankest, skunkiest weed I’ve ever had the misfortune to smell at, like, 4am, and I had to shut my window, which made the temp climb to 82 degrees in here, so I couldn’t really go back to sleep, and now I’m extremely grumpy

I got another "fic is older than me" comment. Please stop. I beg you.

There is A LOT going on in the first episode of Scarpetta

Apparently, Gabby thinks celery smells very tasty, because she's trying to chew on my fingers and that's what I've been chopping. #catsareweird

Wow, the first 3 eps of Paradise S2 coming in hot. It's going to be a long wait for next Monday.

I, for one, welcome our new generation of Fire Horse sisters. May you burn it all down far more than my generation ever managed to do. www.jezebel.com/happy-year-o...

This is a CAT checkpoint. Show me the most recent cat image on your phone.

Continued my friend's birthday weekend celebrations by seeing Hamnet today. Both amazing and heartbreaking. Do recommend.

Celebrating my friend’s birthday with lots of little share plates, yum

Gabby is tuckered out from watching sports. She’s resting now.

Guys, the other day my jaw became sore while I was eating crackers, and I bought a package of sea salt that I can't use because I can't get it open. #oldageproblems

This opening ceremony is spectacular! #Olympics

My other thought from my rewatch of Kaos was... Dionysus + Dennis 4EVA!!!! (...cats have 9 lives, just saying)

I just finished rewatching Kaos, and now I'm re-mad that we never get more of it.

I hope everyone is having a warm and cozy Caturday. Gab definitely is.

My apartment is usually overheated, but this morning I've broken out the fingerless gloves.

The sky was so beautiful on the way home, although the photo makes the day look darker than it actually was

My friend wanted to go for a drive before the snow apocalypse comes so we’re having diner brunch on Long Island, yum!

Can annyone in "inland empire" area help this kitty?

Omg the latest iPhone update is a crime against humanity. Someone please tell me how to turn off this annoying transition effect every time you open a new app. It’s going to drive me mad

I guess I’ll…finish reorganizing that drawer later

Happy New Year from Brooklyn! (…it’s not midnight yet, but I won’t be awake then, so…)

Good morning to all from Gabby Clawse! Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!

I received a lovely gift of tea today! I'm not going to unbox the present until tomorrow, but so far, I can't find a card and don't know who it's from. But it is from a tea shop in Brooklyn, so that's a clue. Hmm.... (If the wonderfully thoughtful tea Santa is reading this, please let me know...)

Pics of my tree! I wanted light, bright colors this year and all my fave nostalgic ornaments because, you know, the state of the world

Another day, another cocktail! With my dear @cbeany.bsky.social and @no-detective.bsky.social

Thanksgiving dinner with cocktails!

Woke up to the extra good news that my district turned blue in the city council race, woohoo! The Dem won by 6%, which is A LOT for this area.

I think I know what Rachel Maddow means when she says there's New York and there's America, but she needs to stop saying it now.

Who says we can't have nice things???? Congrats, Mayor Mamdani!!

Good work, New Jersey!!!

Brooklyn hearts Mamdani!

YAY, Virginia!!! I'm so happy for my home state.

A two-sticker day at my polling place!
