SAME!

I just want something that will let me good up my iPod of my iPhone to play my own music, and occasionally use Maps.

That is. I don’t need Facebook in my car (seriously). Heck, I’d just like the Bluetooth in my 12yo Jetta to be consistent.

I was really lucky - he’d rescheduled one of the 2020/2021 speaking engagements in my city, and I managed to get a (much better) ticket (than I remember purchasing).

Absolutely worth it, if you ever get the chance.

My copy is held together with copious amounts of scotch tape & hopeful thoughts.

I am grateful for the digital version I can reread without damaging. I am also grateful for the signed copy with the pretty new cover that’s sitting on the shelf with my much-loved copy.

At a quick glance, I thought that was K-9, and had to scroll back to see it was a coffee maker.

I’d have never know about CPTSD if I hadn’t started looking into Autism (which also overlaps with ADHD). The moment I started reading up on it, it was massive RELIEF. Like, “oh … hey … this IS a thing”.

I watched this blow up on BookTok, and people had receipts. It’s … messy.

My KitchenAid stand mixer just aged off of my health insurance (it’s 26).

Musk's statement is an unduly long way to say "yes, the Media Matters report was factually accurate, those ads were shown next to those posts," which is a bit of a problem for any lawsuit, be it teeny or "thermonuclear."

Many iguanas in Mayan ruins

A cool thing about visiting Mayan ruins in Yucatan state is that they are home to approximately twenty billion iguanas

Crescent leaf shadows on the sidewalk from the sunlight through the trees during the eclipse.

Absolutely mesmerized by the light filtering through the leaves.

It brings me joy to know so many people experienced the same yesterday.

Not much to post, so … have a tiger swallowtail butterfly.

A very grumpy looking young crow with pink beak and blue eye sits on the asphalt in a tight bundle.

I really want to show compassion to everyone who lost their sense of smell due to COVID (which seems to be almost everyone in my office); the migraines & asthma attacks triggered by choking on the clouds perfume/cologne/deodorant they’re all bathing in is making that very difficult.
