Boss, during meting: "ok, wait, I gotta ask, Mike, what's going on with those socks?"

A friend of mine - @yeehawclaire.bsky.social - is running for congress in a deep red district in Texas. It occurs to me that every new gerrymandered district makes each existing one less and less safe. There will be fewer safe voters, less margin of error for mind-changes, bad weather or home sales.

The real reason I'm painting ornaments to slip into Christmas cards is to simultaneously enjoy and justify my extensive collection of glittery, color shifty paints. #watercolor #ornament #cardpocalypse

Book 63: I was in the mood for a cozy fantasy. This book was that, but I prefer a little more depth to my fluff. I wanted The Blue Sword, but that I hadn't read 23 times. This one is pretty darn fluffy. #bookaweek app.thestorygraph.com/books/3cdc67...

Did I just post a single picture of my four month old kittens on Facebook and tell everyone there that future kitten pictures were only on Bluesky? Maybe. Doing my part for network effect.

Hello! I would like to introduce the 4 month olds, Atlas (stripy boy) and Andalusia (gray girl). So far they like sitting in your lap but only if you're wearing a dress, and attacking all the things. This might have been a bad time to put up the Christmas tree. #kittens #cats #christmasmayhem

"Although I can still feel the sting of humiliation, being told early on that I was not a pretty ornament spared me from years of pinning my self-worth to external standards of beauty. " Ahh, yes. The gift of being a plain, if not actually ugly, girl. "Turning to Stone: the Subtle Wisdom of Rocks".
