"Israel" shares we are getting ready to harvest the celery that many will use while making their Thanksgiving stuffing. "I'm proud of the work I do that brings food to tables across the US. With our hands we do the hard work that feeds America." #WeFeedYou

Mr. Moo carefully peruses the ornaments before selecting his next target.
#CatsLoveChristmas #CatsOfBluesky
At left, a 4-foot Xmas tree sits on a side table in front of a window. It has multicolored lights and many delicious--sorry, I mean different--ornaments. Just to the right of the tree, a large tuxedo cat lounges in the top of a 2-level cat tree, with his arms over the edge and dangling straight down, while he looks up speculatively at the tempting ornaments. Does he want the stuffed cat in a sweater? The stuffed polka dot cardinal? Or the realistic cardinal tree-topper?

It's #portfolioday! Here's a smattering of my artwork.

I draw, paint & take photos. My paintings & drawings are abstract to illustrative to comic.

My photos are mostly flowers, architecture, graffiti, the sky, as well as abstract minimalism of what I find around me in my urban or rural setting.
A collage of peeks at my #NatureIsArt series of flower photos. A pile of lumber from the end perspective A watercolour illustration of an elephant in studded black leather shoes with a heart tattoo A collage of mostly paintings and drawings that I've done. The paintings are either acrylic, watercolour, and there's also a mural I worked on. Two are nature photos I've taken

‘I am not some stone commission
Like a statue in a park
I am flesh and blood and vision
I am howling in the dark
Long blue shadows of the jackals
Are falling on a pay phone by the road
Oh, all they ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold’
Joni Mitchell

I like the addition of the "follow back" button in the notifications pane because 1) it makes me feel guilty when I don't and 2) it makes a new follow extra salient and thus slightly more alarming than it already was

since the "google is now training gemini on your email contents" thing keeps bumping around here: it's _not happening_. I say this not to defend google but because I know a lot of people that have broken their filtering and made their lives much more annoying from sheer misinformation.

The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.

I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.

I just walked in on Olga using the cat box. She stared at me like I had committed the worst possible faux pas. Meanwhile, she yowls if I ask for the same dignity by closing the bathroom door. Yeah, this cat.

I was hopeful this brief bleed through of light low on the horizon would fire up the entire sky over the mountains this morning... Especially since the cloud cover hugging the mountain peaks was gone and the fresh snow was visible below the blue hour color... But this was as good as it got over the valley, with the light and color getting closed out soon after. Thanks for looking at my sky!

Autism is my whole life cos if I were something else utterly, that would be it, but Autism chose Me Monotropism is my lens.

Due to distract of constant AI prompts, have severed almost all connection with SamS🎶
I have no 🚗focus; camera keeps yelling at me to 👀!
with a focus on the reflection of images in this pool, in my backyard the theme is blue tones. and in ground pool around an aging deck on a mixed blue with mostly white clouds sky as seen from vantage point of a step above a backyard in Phoenix in November focused on the white and red tall towers shutting up from the highest point of South Mountain Park which is a free recreation area or preserve outside of the City of Phoenix south of the airport sunrise in November cast golden Amber tones on everything illuminated by it including palm trees in the foreground but not the ranch home roof which is still in the shade. a refocused image of a photograph taken with Android 22 phone camera of an ocotillo in my neighbor's yard my neighbor's roof a single palm tree jetting up into blue gray sky and a slice of mocha brown South Mountain Park, with the ever looming white and red communication towers of Phoenix. One More shot unaltered of the ever looming white and red communication towers of South Mountain Park in Phoenix at sunrise as viewed from my backyard. The towers can be viewed from almost any vantage point in the city, which I have used as a sort of beacon as to which direction to drive to get to my home, especially when I was newer to the area.

It is 10 to 9. Our giveaway was supposed to start at 9. By 7:30 there were already more people than bags. By 8:30 I’d already given away all our Christmas gift cards because we ran out of the ones for thanksgiving.

$4500 worth of goods and we could have done twice as many…
