Yeah... decided to switch to a new/old PFP for a while. It's not recent, but one of my more flattering favorites. (Mattie the Wonder Horse from the last one deserves a li'l break time back at the barn...)

It and I am old enough that we used to call them 'avatars,' kids.

Where I live at present, it's always coyote season.

dammit, now I'm hungry for pizza

I simply *adore* the fact this unnamed woman did as many of us have often done when approached by a boundary-ignoring pest: Give a wrong phone number or email address. On purpose.

yay 🎉 🫶

BeccaM @becca.net · 1d

I agree. It also bears a rewatch, which I've already done. Lots of little details to catch on the 2nd (or later) viewing.

Yeah...voluntarily buying a swastitruck is merely a symptom, no doubt one among very many, not the underlying cause.

Potentially unpopular opinion: Habanero sauce goes surprisingly well with fresh red raspberries.

No, no, I'm not pregnant. Sometimes I just like to try unusual combos to see if they work.

I like twisty, cerebral movies, especially if they're SF, and this one definitely scratched that itch.

ROFLMAO! 🤣

Well, no question which one is my personal favorite. Already posted it before.

And yes, I know how to follow directions, FGM / MSFGB. Photo goes into a QUOTE of the post, not a reply.

The post's author looking rather intentionally witchy during an event, while perched on a throne-like chair.

I'd like to see New Mexico join, too. The Governor and state DoH have already been opposing the anti-science BS from this administration. And I know they've been keen on securing vaccine supplies, too.

It's been good. More travel than I'm used to, with more trips coming up very soon, including a foray back to my old haunts for a couple weeks.

Besides catching up with old Cruz-area friends, and seeing the parks & ocean, I have this itch to re-tour Skyline Drive, do some hiking. I wonder why. 😉

BeccaM @becca.net · 3d

Really sorry I've been missing out. My life went crazy since August... And it shows no sign of stopping, which is kind of good in a way, in that it's keeping me busy. Problem is, too busy. lol

I have to 'ditto' this one.

BeccaM @becca.net · 3d

I would totally pay for this in a heartbeat, yes.

I could really use it, honestly.

BeccaM @becca.net · 3d

My pleasure. Seriously, I love all your photos, but this one truly is one of your best. Magnificent composition, excellent color, draws the eye, and tells a bit of a story.

(My wife was a pro-level photographer and taught me much of what she knew.)

BeccaM @becca.net · 3d

Love this one. So good.

Good morning #bluesky, I slept!!

Anyway, here’s a photo, with me in it.

I don't normally jump in on these kinds of things, but Oregon the DM was one of my first follows/follow-backs when I joined Bluesky back in the early "you need an invite to join" days. If you don't want to toss a few $, a little signal-boost would help.

(Yes, I donated.)

Look I've been holding off from months asking this on Bluesky because of my pride but I need help.

My car needs brakes, my rent is past due and my step kid needs shoes.

I hate having to ask this

Couldn't agree more, and hell, a lot of us simply age out of the pool of women even old decrepit dudes will want to date, never mind have a relationship with.

BeccaM @becca.net · 4d

I hear ya. I've been doing that here lately and repeatedly it's been me telling myself, "Honey, you're no longer in your low-30s. Not only is that item unsuitable for your age, it's also hideously no longer in style."

Me: "It's a nice blouse!"

Sense: "It has shoulder pads. 'Nuff said. Toss it."

BeccaM @becca.net · 4d

Yeah, I read the article and it's not exactly helpful. My preferred brand of protein shake powder? Not analyzed.

BeccaM @becca.net · 4d

Unwarranted and unearned hubris, I'm afraid.

BeccaM @becca.net · 4d

I do know.
