A good way to find people to follow (absolutely key here because there's no default algorithm) is search for a keyword (storms, art etc) and then just check out the follower lists of people who are posting and follow them.

They'll probably follow you back and then you're on your way.

I was at the supermarket, and the young man bagging my groceries asked, "Paper or plastic?"

I told him I didn't much care and to pick.

He looked at me sternly and replied, "I can't do that. Baggers can't be choosers."

Major life shift that has taken me in a completely new (and somewhat unexpected) direction. A mix of grief, regret, hopefulness, relief, anxiety... you know. Hot mess kinda stuff. πŸ˜‰

Feeling really sad.

I need someone to watch over me. Guess it's just you and me tonight, George (Gershwin).

So... I wasn't really part of the conversation all afternoon until, oh, wait... you decided to make a comment on something about my physical appearance? Something done to me during emergency, sight-saving surgery? You couldn't act your 54 years and "overlook" that deformity?

Happy Fucksgiving. 😑

I refer to cilantro as "the devil's parsley". 🀒

This doesn't look like lettuce *or* parsley to me. More like... um...

So let's get to the point, let's roll another... umm...

Very cool, you Glucky duck!!! πŸ₯°πŸ˜˜

I sang "Che Faro Senza Euridice?" as part of my recital repertoire. Not an easy aria!

Annnnnnnnnd... I'm sick yet AGAIN.

I'd really like to be able to eat without getting sick. I hope the labs and chemistry reveals the nature of the issue and the source of the pain. So far, it *looks* like DKA, but I highly doubt that's it.

Diva A: Are you bringing anyone to the cast party?
Diva B: No. I'm flying solfeo.

Baaaaahahahahahahaha.

Sorry, but bad #music puns are a rite of passaggio. I hope you don't mind that I take such artistic libretti. ;)
