A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

Been thinking so much lately about how expensive local sustainable alternatives are compared to just buying another bottle of something. Ex: I'd love to refill a 32 oz bottle of lotion that's getting low, but my local refill store charges $1.20 an ounce. I could pay almost $40 to refill it...

We saw one of the first gray whales of the season today, but also a personal first: Pacific white-sided dolphins -- my favorite species -- in the wild! I freaked out, but also learned a lot of cool new facts!

Bagheera likes to stretch against me, yawn, and do weird love bites (that still hurt) in the morning, but lately his teeth keep landing just inside my nostrils. I think he wants to give me a septum piercing, so if I show up with one, know that it was courtesy of my cat.

Just donated some old holiday stuff in the slight hopes it wouldn't immediately end up in a landfill, only to watch the employee immediately dump the box over before I'd even finished getting back in the car. I had wrapped everything but still heard it all breaking. Oop at me, I guess.

I had a peach green tea today that was life-changingly good, but the shop was 45 minutes from my house in an area I never really have occasion to just casually go 🥲

On my first day off today, I:

-finished sewing some lounge pants that are going to be a Christmas gift for a family member
-sewed in some gores for a pair of Regency stays
-ate a delicious crepe with my spouse while reading a book

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

I really liked Frankenstein and thought it was visually stunning but that choice to end with a Lord Byron quote instead of one of the most iconic closing lines in Western literature...

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

My husband got me these silly little trick-or-treating mice at the garden center. 🧡 I don't decorate that much for Halloween, but I am always here for little animal decor.

It's Bagheera's 15th birthday!🩷 I love him so much & am so thankful he's made it to 15. Earlier this summer it really seemed unlikely, but he's rallied and I'm just cherishing every day I get with this sweet, goofy, little guy. I'm so proud of him and think he's the cutest in all of time and space.
