For dinner tonight: Chicken pasta of your dreams! Verdict: OH MY GOD YUM. 🍽️ Recipe link in comments.

Definitely not diet food, but once in a while is OK, right?

Had lots of fun doing linoleum block prints at art class tonight. First time I've worked in this medium since I was about 17 years old, but I guess it's like riding a bike 😄 #Art #ArtSky #LinoleumBlockPrint #Dragon

Why nobody should be traveling to the USA any time soon. I know I won't be.
A cartoon showing a huge black-clad Nazi-looking figure wearing a red, white and black arm band saying ICE picks up a tiny woman holding a suitcase. The ICE agent says, "Welcome to the USA! Just remember, I can search your phone, revoke your visa, hold you in detention for insulting Trump or Israel, and ship you to prison in El Salvador. ....So, enjoy your stay!" An onlooker says to another onlooker, "Maybe we should have gone on holiday in Greenland!"

Just spray painted the snake door wreath I made for #Halloween. But I kind of love sneks, so I might end up keeping it up all year! 😍🐍

Confirmed goldfish baby sightings in the back yard pond today! This one is orange & white, several others were still all black. Hard to show how teeny tiny they are because if you don't zoom in you can't see them. #FishPond #Goldfish
