I'm still SUPER overwhelmed by Shopify's sample Excel worksheet to bulk upload colors and styles available. So that's going to take a while. ugh

I've moved my shop from Etsy to Shopify. It's definitely a work in progress, but I have a few sets of press-on nails up! 🥰

My husband is trying to get me to switch to Linux. I think my only balk about it are all the Steam games I have that won't work on Linux. 😖

It was POURING all weekend. We got about 1.5" of rain. The mushrooms should be going crazy in a couple of days. I'm excited to go hiking and find some to ID!! 🍄

That looks about twice the size! I found another, even smaller, starting to grow near the other one. :-)

@theliamnissan The reason you never see ICE arresting the Proud Boys is the same reason you never never see Miley Cyrus hanging out with Hannah Montana

Any decorations, like fake spider webbing, that dangle, hang or wrap can entangle wild animals like this Screech Owl!
Please consider wildlife safety when decorating your home for the holiday, and remember to properly dispose of Halloween candy, pumpkins and other edibles to prevent unwanted wildlife visitors.

OBVIOUSLY this is fake because they don’t have masks on to hide their faces.

It’s flu season! Get your shot today 💉

💉💚💉

(Remember when “get your flu shot” came with great PSAs instead of conspiracy threads?)

This was SUCH a great campaign from the CDC. It’s the Wild to mild vaccine. This poster shows a tiger and a cute little cat. The wording says “A flu vaccine can take flu from Wild to mild”
More info here about this fabulous campaign: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/whats-new/2023-2024-new-campaign-wild-to-mild.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fflu-resources%2Fphp%2Fshareable-resources%2Findex.html

I've gotten back into playing "The Isle" on Steam. I started playing Evrima, finally.

Holy shit, I'm having a FANTASTIC time playing Herrera! DROP DINO! Unseen death from above. I'd love to see the players' reactions IRL when they just die and don't know why. LOL
