You expect grief when reminded of the good, but grief is ruthless. I never expected a booger to bring me to tears.

TMI warning- my father used a handkerchief. Occasionally you'd see dried remnants in it. Months after he'd died, I was blowing my dry, irritated nose. Of course I looked, I'm human. It reminded me of my father and I burst into tears.

I worked in a theater where Pump Boys and Dinettes had a long run. Goo Goo Clusters and Moon Pies were a staple at concessions.

Totally forgot about those!

Fear is like a giant fog. It sits on your brain and blocks everything - real feelings, true happiness, real joy. They can't get through that fog. But you lift it, and buddy, you're in for the ride of your life.

Reminding me of BUN candy bars.

It's a sin to frock yourself. You'll go blind...

It's giving Fyre Festival. Also, thinking Hershey bars and nylons might be a thing again.

Never realized how much they can look like a milk pod going to seed.

Putting my Silk Degrees on the turntable and taking a slug of warm pop so I have the sound of an oncoming wet burp in my throat and can sing like Boz.

Very expressive and textured burr oak bark.

Currently looking at some texture as well.

At first when I saw the crown, I thought it was the Statue of Liberty's evil twin.

I hope DoorDash Grandma asked for universal healthcare as a tip.

Male and female mallards standing on a roof.

No duckling sightings here yet, but there's plenty of duck parading going on. Love the spring ducks!

Price is so high because fleece has gone up!

I've señor dream

This was needed today.

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal.

Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big.

And here we are.

DHS going full christian nationalist.

DHS posting images of a refugee being crucified by agents of an evil empire is how you bugger the rotting corpse of irony.

The only surprise I found from losing a pet was that there was relief from no longer having to worry about the worst happening, because it already had. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I found a piece of paper on my bedside table where I had scrawled, Sky Marchini. I didn't know what that meant. Was it a cocktail? I looked it up. Apparently @sky.skymarchini.net is on Bluesky. I don't follow Sky Marchini, but maybe I should... Why on earth did I write that down?

Happy birthday, Dougal! May the walks be long and the toys be plentiful!

Stunning assholes

Had a dream last night where I was wondering if rocks taken out of the earth get homesick or if they just feel like they moved to the big city...

Please share your recreation of the beet salad. Asking for a friend.

If I have to pay for their war, I'd like 2 million to fund my war with myself.

Had the same thought.
