@jtkantor.bsky.social hi Josh! My friend Sweet is at her first Sox game. Can you play Supermodel by RuPaul for her? Thanks!

The one with the stars fading into orange is my new home screen. Thank you Nikki! ❤️

Chiming in 45 minutes late, but a big AWOOOOOOOOOO to @quincemountain.bsky.social running the Iditarod.

A friend and her sisters do this, and spouse and I have adopted it when seeing each other after some amount of time:

"You look good!" (briefest of pauses) "For you."

Agreed hard core - it gave me visceral ick.

Oh no, this is devastating.

So cool! None of the schools I went to had fencing in any form, alas.

A yellow dog stands with front paws on a fence, holding an oversized ball in his mouth. Your jaw hurts sympathetically because his lower jaw looks like it's going to dislocate.

There is so much that's awful and difficult right now, but then there is this guy and he's pretty awesome.

NEH Announces $22.6 Million for 219 Humanities Projects Nationwide

My brother and my sister in law were just awarded an NEH grant! Color me wicked proud. :D Their project is the last one mentioned in the first paragraph: www.neh.gov/news/neh-ann...

Got mine yesterday (flu too) and thus far, zero effects other than slightly sore arm.

I didn't even know it was something humans took!

We might have the same starter word, because my Wordle looked EXACTLY like yours today!

Just got performance feedback from someone with zero experience giving meaningful performance feedback. I got the trifecta!

Never heard the feedback before? ✅
Feedback not based in concrete observations? ✅
Feedback from outside review time period? ✅

If it weren't tied to compensation, I'd laugh. 💩

Welp, time to brush off my account here because this is the very best reason ever to get sucked back in. Congrats to all of you!

That thing is GIGANTIC. How on earth does it get off the earth?

Two sled dogs in harness stand in the snow and look at the camera. The light tan and brown dog on the left looks young and sassy, and the black and light tan dog on the right is simultaneously alert and relaxed. Both their tongues are lolling. What you cannot see in the photo is that the dog on the right is the dog on the left's mother, and it is the dog on the left's first season running.

The Blueberry Hips

haha....

Congratulations - what a fabulous job & school, and how lucky they are that you wanted to join them!

best email to a professional listserv i've seen in a long time:

"Bro why yall sending me messages im literally 13 years old and in middle school. Yall best not be sending any more of these goofy emails"

A yellow dog is poised to leap from a lying position at the photographer. His expression is one of cheese anticipation.

"Cheese? Please?"

Yes to the scheduled goodbye being strange. Sending Dex best thoughts for a peaceful transition, and sending you and your pack lots of love.

Hello! Please and thank you.

Two white women in a car smile at the camera. A Speedway gas station is barely visible through the back window.

A white woman wears half a multi-colored knit hat and looks at the camera. The working yarn dangles across her face.

Day two: Toledo to Minneapolis with a pit stop in Madison to see a friend from grad school. Amy drives the first half of the day since I hate mornings. Leaves me time to knit.

Two smiling white woman sit in a car, ready to drive halfway across the US.

Road trip, commence!

Vacation responder is on and I'm out of the office until July 10! 🎉

Yellow dog on his back, awkwardly on top of the photographer. His mouth is doing something weird.

You would not believe the breadth of this guy's register. On the one hand, our home network is called bellowing_dog. On the other hand, he just about shattered my coffee mug shrieking at me this morning.

Line of young women in skirts, all fencing.

Two fencers face off in a bout.

Found some awesome photos at work the other day.
