From #herps to #insects, #birds, & #mammals, the leaf layer is more than just nature’s carpet - it’s a sanctuary, food source, & protective shield. These critically important pieces of microhabitat are entirely removed when we throw away our yard leaves. #LeaveTheLeaves

A picture with a background of various colors of fall leaves by @xercessociety.bsky.social with the words: Leaves are not litter. They're food and shelter for butterflies, beetles, bees, moths, and more. Tell friends and neighbors to just #LeaveTheLeaves. xerces.org

Married her yesterday.

I asked my girlfriend if there was anything she wanted from the store and the first thing she asked was, “how is our cheese situation.” I’m going to marry this woman.

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.

"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.

"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

Heard the news that Cheney died so I went to find and read the sheriff’s report of the quail hunting shooting back in 2006, like any normal person would be doing while drinking coffee…

can't be sure "Monday" wasn't a typo/auto fill slip for "mundane" and now thinking "Monday" should be the new "mid".

with something as simple as a jar of salsa for a marinade/simmer sauce.

i like chipotle or fire roasted for thighs, verde or tomatillo for breasts.

quick and easy for tacos or bowls all week, or even into simple enchiladas or a curry dish.

I’m at the stage in my cold where once every hour or so I let loose a sneeze that’s like a pipe bomb going off in a metal trashcan. My poor cat will never forgive me.

My little void cat reemerges from hiding, staring at me in terror.

The Very Late Early 60s Halloween mix is up now at Patreon. I did consider putting it up on Mixcloud but this would be a very much sub-optimal time to do that - so I'm just calling it a Patreon exclusive, and the proper launch can be next Halloween.
