I am proud to work at St. Francis!

I'm a pretty new Episcopalian, and I get ao excited when the incense comes out!

Shoutout to the Episcopal Church for embracing our trans siblings! They have a Church Rite for the blessing and renaming of a trans person!

(Please share your own church’s rites/prayers. I know the Episcopal Church isn’t the only affirming denomination.

I know that feeling! I'm sure the scales will balance once again. Best of luck to you!

Looks delicious!

That's the best!

I have since made a second batch of soup. The next one was chickpea noodle. Sherman politely picked at it. 🙃

Moving my impulse book buying over to Better World Books! Happy Friday everyone! 501 Spanish Verbs is on my ever growing list of "Purge Regrets" from the Texas to Maryland move. No more! Soon to be reunited with my verbs! I loved On Rotation by Shirlene Obuobi! Looking forward to this one! #booksky

Right there with you!

@laurahirschfeld.bsky.social I missed my opportunity when you were still here!

Indeed it is! I remember having to do that as a kid and how awful it was.

Coincidentally, I have had a lot of coffee and need to go to the bathroom right now.

OR... do you trust a stranger to watch your stuff? ORRR.... is this an undue burden on said stranger?

Or... do you leave all your stuff and cross your fingers that no one steals all your stuff while you're in the bathroom?

Here's a silly question: if you're out and about doing work at a coffee shop, what do you do when you need to use the restroom? Do you pack up all your stuff, take it with you to the bathroom, and cross your fingers that the spot will still be there when you return?

That's the pot it came in, but it is quite a tight fit! Why does the store sell a plant in a too small pot? Fashion over function, I suppose!

Sitting at my work from home desk comparing my phony felt cactus to my living succulent. The succulent is not doing too well! I'm one of those people who can't even keep a succulent alive. Tips welcome!

Happy Anniversary to you!

@cargobikeofseitan.bsky.social you will recognize one here!

Populating our living room walls with some pictures! An Austin fave, RBG collars, Bernie, and a few likely picked up from free piles.

It's so edifying! I'm so grateful for her example.

She is my new hero now!

I have had this exact same thought!

Doublespeak for sure!

That's a big change! I bet it comes with room to spread out and garden. Baltimore is great! We finally bought a home here over the summer and feel more settled. It's a row house from 1880! Our house in Texas was from 1984 for comparison!

Husband and kiddo brought home mint oreos the other day. It tastes a bit like they replaced the cream filling with mint toothpaste. I am on the fence about these mint oreos, but I've eaten way too many for one who's still withholding an endorsement. Better try a other one...

Thank you from his heart!! 🤮

First pot of soup simmering for winter! Absurd as we've had a fair bit of winter weather in Bmore! The mere mention of soup elicits shudders from my kiddo, so I fall back on air fryer broccoli and chickpeas. He loves broccoli! Asking for soup too seems greedy of me. The universe only gives so much!

Sign me up for the garlic onion! So efficient!
