Uh, duh.

Just ate a green chile breakfast #burrito that wasn’t merely zoned — it had no discernible green chile in it. 🚫🤬🌶️

I don’t want my money back. I want my calories back. #NewMexico

Thank you for the beautiful photo! 🩷 Grateful to live in such a magical place.

If you’re in the U.S., it’s gray.

She is beyond right 🩷

Orange-red homemade marinara sauce simmers in a red and black pot.

I’ve been stirring this pot of marinara for about half an hour, just meditating on the gentle alchemy that turns a bunch of disparate ingredients into food.

Beats thinking about anything else that happened today.

Sad to report that I can never again celebrate chervil after that one time they used too much in the escargots.

The dust jacket of As We Were: A Victorian Peepshow, by E.F. Benson (first edition, 1930)

As the proud child of a reference librarian, I know no other way. (And speaking of E.F. Benson, do you have this memoir? It’s as dishy as it is witty.)

I love my neighborhood. #resist #endure #SanFrancisco

I’m so sorry, Ken! 💔

And who doesn’t secretly want to ride a unicone?

Never! 😂💖

Skål! 🥂

The nostril-biting aroma of shoe sanitizer spray mixed with decaying carpet and burned hot dogs. Three antique video games, one mostly operational, and one half-empty claw machine. And some sad middle-aged dude passed out facedown between the entryway and the bar. 🎳

“That fartface. I’d like to take a big bucket of black paint and put it on his head!”

Thank you for the evocative tour of your haunted goat barn.

It’s springtime in the city, and everything is growing and blooming. #conesofbluesky #sidewalkchronicles

Clearly headed for #1 on the Feline Emo charts 🖤

Inka is a great name for that cat! 🖤

Happy Towel Party Tuesday from Jet! #cats #blackcats #catsofbluesky

Our old guy Jet sings a triumphant “I pooped” song so we can celebrate with him 🐈‍⬛💩🖤

I thought I’d love the green one, but it’s the wrong green. Instead, I love the purple one and the sky blue one. Even the yellow one is preferable to the green one.

Whoops, meant to say your Jett! 🖤

Hello back to your Jet from my Jet! 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

Nothing beats an unexpected brutalist pillar!

A cute black cat sits in an odd position on a lap, with a contemplative expression and three legs and paws visible.

Is he cute because he’s sitting funny, or is he sitting funny because he’s cute? #cats #blackcats #catsofbluesky
