I finished my first novel and have even let someone read it!

I’m from Washington, but spent 10 years in Kentucky in my teens and early 20s, I’m 40, and for the most part I call her Mom. When I was younger it was 50/50 Mom and Mommy. Mommy more often in heightened emotional states.

I like that Lara’s is at least a good one- some of them where the legs are no where near vertical 😒

They take so long and fee like they add so little. Take them out and put a spiral sequence in.

The older folks sitting around me were mortified

Hate it. There’s plenty of drama in the programs, we don’t need to manufacture it.

I’m not your target audience, I teach 5th - 9th grade- and I think you’re hopelessly optimistic 🤣. My students are much more likely to lick each other

And then broke it again on the ice resurfacing 🙄

I’d rather have literally nothing. We all have phones or a book.

I misread this at first as yelling goats, and now I want to know… does he yell? His eyebrows are fabulous, though

Damn Yankees!

Merry Christmas, everyone, even Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Utah @regenceutah.bsky.social, who is currently denying coverage of a cancer drug for my wife's breast cancer treatment. You are the Scrooge/Grinch in this Christmas story. But you can have a change of heart. You can be different. 💗

Does it count if it’s a team? I’m 100% Papadakis and Cizeron.

It’s not even that I think I can stop them, if my eyebrows go high enough, maybe they’ll notice and fix it themself!

Dead serious- I teach junior high and my students give me so much hope. They see the world so much clearly than I did at that age, and they KNOW what needs to happen.

Omg, this is amazingly helpful! Thank you!

“Many?” Really?

MANY cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse?

Sir, I believe that you know precisely one. And we ALL know that one.

Watch CRITICAL ROLE's 'Twelve Days of Grogmas' Music Video for Delightful Holiday Chaos (Exclusive First Look) Critical Role's Winter's Crest holiday album EP revealed the "Twelve Days of Grogmas" song; here's an exclusive first look at its music video.

And a music video too?! nerdist.com/article/watc...

I wish. Sadly the students don’t teach themselves. The dog has perfected it, though!

A tabby cat with huge eyes stares straight at the camera, only her head showing, from the middle of a pile of blankets and a bathrobe.

As nesting season has officially begun, all piles of blankets or clothes must now be checked carefully before being shifted.

Amazing. That seems like an excellent life choice.

I've had a long, hard think about my past actions. This year is going to be different. *watches dancing bowling pins* I am just here to talk to Santa.

Good evening from this ludicrous tater tot.

S & D’s Dune, hands down

A long haired grey cat is asleep with her chin resting on a person’s hand

At least she waited for me to be settled in watching the figure skating before falling asleep on my hand. This is superior to the other cat who likes to bat at the screen when the skaters jump.

Hey Warsaw Cup! Excellent work with a free, non-geoblocked, commentated professional looking live stream! I love being able to see skating beyond the Grand Prix and championships. ⛸️

Same!

I don’t yell at students. Unless they are doing something truly dangerous, it usually does more harm than good. I do, however, yell at the children on Legends of the Hidden Temple, because even though this show is 30 years old, they should know better than to enter the Shrine of the Silver Monkey!

A fluffy grey cat is sitting on a middle aged woman’s lap, between her and her laptop. The cat has her face in the woman’s face, staring at her.

My husband’s beloved cat climbed in my lap for the first time just about three weeks ago. We’ve been married for a couple years and dated just over a year before that. She only stayed a few minutes, but it’s a start. I may have cried a little.

A grey tortie sits on a windowsill behind a couch. She’s clearly enjoying the sunshine

A grey torbie sits in a cardboard box on the floor, her face lit by a sun beam to highlight one green eye

A grey long haired cat stares dramatically down and to the left

A brown tabby cat with white cheeks and chin lays on her side with her head cradled in a person’s hand.

Cats, cats, and nothing but cats
