What I try to do with my feed here is create the social media *I* would want to see.

I do a lot of life that way, now that I think about it.

Anyway, if you need a break from the usual social media vibe but don't want to be completely cut off, feel free to haunt just my feed for a bit. :)

Wait, there are other stages?

And I pretty much never hit a deadline, so this checks out

Yet another thing I'm procrastinating tbh

If I can't pull out the grim humor THIS month, when can I?

I guess my attitude about death is basically, "Everyone else is doing it, why not"

Right??? I am HILARIOUS

I'm not sure this particular one counts as wisdom, but I do see your point, and I am pleased to provide this service.

🦇Miss Hell Batkeeper🦇 @mishellbaker.bsky.social · 14m

This exactly.

You can blame him for many, many things, but not this future atrocity.

But for the record, if every Halloween after my demise, my handle turns to Zombie Mishell Baker, please know that I made Matt swear to do this, on my deathbed.

Sometimes I almost type a joke and then I'm like, "People are really not as comfortable with the idea of my demise as I am, therefore that is actually not funny to anyone but you, Mishell" and I take my hands away from the keyboard.

By nature, there is nothing to show about first person mode 😂

This is pretty wild reading & if you like me are a gym enthusiast who knocks back a protein shake or 3 throughout the week & thought plant protein was better for your body than whey, probably important to read!

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Moments later, his wife joins him.

This is the way.

I feel this. I tend to repost stuff that is actually useful and engaging like the numbers to call for local government officials and stuff. I want to be informed on what I can do to make change and how things are improving, not talked down to or forced to watch horrific things.

(By the way, if you only heard her biggest hits and think Tori Amos is not a real singer and is only capable of a kind of babydoll whisper-sobbing, please check out 1:42 and hang out until 2:23)

Piano covers have their own gentle beauty, but I am a harpsichord nut 🥜 and always have been, I cannot help it, this is one of my less relatable quirks. Tori Amos never enchanted me so much as when she went through her harpsichord phase

This is the closest I've found, and the video is just... bizarre

I'm just a simple girl with simple needs, like someone who will play Les Barricades Mysterieuses, on the harpsichord, just the harpsichord, no extra reverb, no chill acoustic guitar harmony, just the *harpsichord*, without sounding like they're on a train that's desperately late for its next stop.

Hot Water Balloon

Comic. [Giant balloon reminiscent of a hot air balloon but wavy and laying on the ground with “bloop” “bloop” sound effects. Two people are in a basket attached to one end of the balloon.] [caption] Hot water balloon rides turn out to be significantly less romantic than the air kind.
