Feeling this real hard lately. I’ll be optimistic for you if you can be optimistic for me!

Just say no to curd recipes with cornstarch in them. I don’t know what I was thinking. #cooking

I’m still trying to decide if I love or hate the arms coming out of the wall above the fireplace…

Being in the dead dad club (and a mostly-relieved subcommittee member at that) always makes this day a bit odd. It seems like I should have big feelings about it, but I don’t. 🤷‍♀️

Antidepressants or Tolkien's character?

Idk if someone has made similar for the Star Wars universe, but you reminded me that this exists:

If I didn’t have to spend my precious executive functioning on stupid shit because of societal failures, I could save the world myself. Instead I’m stuck in an endless loop of misery.

It’s the unevenness! I don’t usually have problems with the flavor. Just that it seems to take longer and have more crazy hot & cold spots than any other substance I try and heat 😅

Anybody else been having trouble accessing their GEICO auto policy? I feel like I’m losing my mind over here just trying to check something in my coverage and download a current insurance card. 🫠😤

Also fun fact, co-morbid ADHD & ASD could not be diagnosed until DSM5 in 2013 (at least in the US, not sure about other regions). You had to pick one. I feel like everyone diagnosed before then is owed a free retest 😑

Also have a friend who did have to contact customer service and they were very responsive.

If you have specific questions about the app experience, etc., I’m happy to try and answer those if I can!

I have used it a couple times and had positive experiences! Def check reviews/ratings as with everything, because there are always bad apples. The getting to book a specific car is very useful—I used it to try out different cars similar to what I wanted before I bought something!

I wanna know by what black magic tomato sauce is so bad at being heated in a microwave. Anybody know?? #cookingsky

I briefly lived in England and can confirm. The “salsa” I remember came in a squeeze bottle and tasted like ketchup with maybe one piece of green onion thrown in. It hurt my soul.

A bright mural depicting a stylized city of San Francisco, a mother with open arms radiating love, and a man and children climbing on a log with thoughtful expressions.

A vivid mural depicting a cultivated field, farmers, plants, and a man playing a guitar with a rainbow streaming out of it and into a large basket of fruit held by a smiling woman

A vividly colored mural on a fence depicting a large feminine figure with a fetus in her mind and a skull below her face, surrounded by animals and plants native to the Americas.

It’s been on my list forever, but I finally went on a Mission murals walking tour. Patricia Rose from the Precita Eyes Mural Arts Center was amazing and shared so many great stories. 10/10 would recommend.

For an entire read through of this post, I was convinced that the Merlin birdwatching app used to have a social media aspect and was so confused 😂 I am clearly just birdwatching-years-old now 🐦🔍

I am shocked to learn the number of states is so low. I would have assumed this was universal…this actually explains a lot.

I have a feeling @ologies.bsky.social and friends will share in this joy 😍 Gorgeous spiders!!

Anxiety fucking sucks.

Ask me how I know it’s still there even under snow, ready to make you suffer. ☠️

Also I am too lazy to do anything else about this. I don’t want to spend money on a universal remote because I do not use physical media frequently enough for it to really matter.

The problem with the free Blu-ray player I got from a former roommate is that it has no remote. I am at the mercy of how the dvd or Blu-ray is set up. Which is why I’m sitting through a bunch of previews before I can hit the player’s physical play button once the main menu screen shows up.

The writing is sooo good! You absolutely love who you’re supposed to love, and hate characters you’re supposed to hate. I was almost annoyed at the chapters following the hateful characters until I realized the writing was supposed to make me feel that strongly 😅 Delightfully immersive.

I’m tired of trying to outsmart myself.

This reflects my feelings about laundry in a way I could never articulate myself.

It will never stop being funny to me that the main characters are animals—but they have pets who are animal animals. Why can’t Pal talk?!? I guess all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others 😝

For everyone enjoying this, another offering from yesterday: a video of hermit crabs fighting.

Go right ahead! It was indeed a perfect day in Monterey 🤩

Sometimes I question whether I actually have ADHD. Other times I walk outside to pick cilantro while my carnitas is broiling and a pan is heating (on HIGH) for my tortillas, and almost burn my house down because I got distracted by other garden tasks. 🤦‍♀️

My strawberries and lettuce are coming along! 🌱 #garden #strawberries #lettuce

A crab sits in a rock crevice eating a jellyfish and contemplating life.

A green and purple anemone squished in between rocks, surrounded by dark sea snail shells.

A very tiny crab in a hand

A very well camouflaged fish (maybe a sculpin?) floating above some seaweed between rocks covered in tiny barnacles
