If there are ghosts here, I think they're friendly.
A church altar at night, taken from the floor of the center aisle. The photo is dark, and what light is there is tinged red from the shade of the sanctuary light, to the right of the altar. Wooden pews and large organ pipes are visible on either side. The vaulted ceiling disappears into blackness. On the back wall, centered above the altar, a stained glass tryptic shines, depicting Jesus' ascension with an angel on either side.

Reina says thank you and to tell your dogs she says hi.
A Golden Retriever sits on a blue and green rug, looking up at the camera, her ears lifted, her eyes full of hope that she'll get to eat the treat the photographer is holding.

Birthday girl wanted purple. My food coloring couldn't cope with the buttercream. So birthday girl is getting goth cake. Hope she likes it.

Scout loves it when the family gets together for TTRPG because it means she gets so many treats.

It was a month before this year's #TinyBabyTerrapin she started eating. This isn't abnormal. Wild hatchlings often rely on their yolk sac for months before they figure out how to hunt. This girl is finally eating her Wheaties and growing, as evidenced by the peeling skin on her head.

I pulled a box of tissues out of the closet to take to work today and this is what it said.
Blue and pink cube shaped tissue box. The tear off cover reads "Who Gives a Crap?" (the brand) and "Hey, take the day off."

How I'm flavoring the beans today.
A whole jalapeño and whole cumin seeds in shimmering oil at the bottom of a stainless steel pot. Diced red onions flecked with cumin seeds cooking in hot oil. A blackened jalapeño nestled in a bed of diced red onion, stained orange after the addition of paprika, black pepper, and salt. The same jalapeño, with the addition of diced celery, yellow carrot, and garlic.

Sharing these Old Mother Stallard beans from @ranchogordo.bsky.social now because I doubt they'll be this pretty after cooking.
A mess of purple and cream spotted beans, after rinsing but before cooking.

Listen, am I good at art? No.

Does it stop me from doing stuff occasionally? Also no.

Poster for my Middle school tea and puzzles club, inspired by a post I saw here a while back and can't find.
Poster reads "Tea and Puzzles, cozy club" hand written in black ink, decorated with cut out puzzle pieces showing a colored pencil drawing of a cup of tea and a plate of cookies. Identifying details at the bottom are covered with a slip of paper.

A student brought me praying mantis egg cases, and a small aquarium to house them. Anybody know what I'm supposed to do with them? #entomology #science #edusky #gardening. (Using all the hashtags because my little account has no reach.)

The completed soup, vegetarian (vegan if you use coconut cream), a bit of heat, a lot of good for you.

When things are rough, making soup helps.

I rescued this globe from a storage room. I use it regularly in science class because when you study the world around you, it's helpful to have context. I want to decorate the globe with pictures that represent the units we study:

Screenshot of the Food and Drug Administration homepage with a banner that reads "Mission-critical activities of the FDA will continue during the Democrat-led government shutdown. Please use this site as a resource as the Trump Administration works to reopen the government for the American people." This is a lie and a violation of American law.
