A water color painting of two pomegranates, one sliced open to see the seeds inside, with a pair of hellebore flowers and some leaves. The flowers are white with light green centers and pink accents. The background is pale yellow.
"The Winter Dark Doesn't Last Forever" Pomegranate and hellebore flowers.
A watercolor painting of three orange slices, surrounded by a few sprays of mistletoe with white berries, and some leaves. The background is a gentle pale mix of light blue and pale purple.
A little holiday painting!
Close up of rosebush showing fall hips and red leaves. There is frost on the petals of the rosehips.
Rosehips outside the security office at my work. It's always worth the time to keep your eyes open for beautiful things.

A close-cropped and artistic photo of spring chives in a cement planter, wet with raindrops.
Spring is here and the rain is making everything fresh! I'm so glad to have fresh chives again, I miss them over the winter.
A sleepy ginger cat in the bright morning sun, nestled in a fluffy blue blanket
I wish I could join you, cat
A 80s vintage tea pot with a rainbow pattern on it next to a vintage FTD "Especially For You" mug, also with a rainbow pattern on it. The mug is sitting on an electric mug warmer, and both are on a wood desk, in front of a computer monitor.
Treating my cold with some cozy tea.
An orange cat with foreleg extended, sleepily laying on a wide cast iron radiator with a flat top. There is wood paneling in the background and a colorful curtain covering the corner of a window. A plant nearby slowly suffers from lack of water and attention.
I wish I had as many concerns as a cat sleeping on a cast iron radiator
A snippet from the Spiders Georg wiki, which states "In August 2023, Business Insider referred to Donald Trump as the Spiders George of world leaders, as his indictments on 91 felony counts yield the statistic that the mean number of felony charges per U.S. president is two."
He was a statistical outlier adn should not be counted.

A cherry pie I baked last week, it's probably the prettiest one I've ever made.
A sweet sleepy kitty, curled into a c shape while sleeping on their back. Their white belly is exposed and their paws are curled up. The cat is laying on a fuzzy blanket.
I hope you have comfort and peace today.

Aren't they beautiful? I love Brutalist architecture.
Describe yourself using 5 things that are in your purse/backpack at any given time
1) handkerchief
2) lip balm
3) box cutter
Other than my wallet, keys and phone, of course. That's all I need: to dab my eyes when I cry, to protect my lips from damage, and a knife to cut a bitch (or a box)

Good morning.
Word of the Day is as beautiful as it is underused. ‘Confelicity’ is finding joy in the happiness and success of others.

automakers are spying on you, hiding that fact in a thousand pages of legalese, then selling data to insurers who are jacking your rates through the roof
so glad we tackled that tiktok menace though
what if we convince cybertruck owners they have to season them like cast iron pans
My dad had a whistling call, too, that he used indoors if we got separated in a place like the mall or a grocery store, or the zoo. I use a similar tactic for my kids, who are still teenagers.
A natural basic income experiment began in the mid-1990s and how the kids — now in their 30s and 40s — are doing is incredible. As adults, they have fewer drug problems and their average IQ is higher. By age 26, the benefits of the UBI exceeded its cost by 3-to-1.

you're damn right I'm "drug-seeking" you stupid asshole, if I could solve my problems with mindfulness and exercise I wouldn't be talking to you
my main takeaway from Dune is that I desperately wish I could commute by sand worm
