Luxury, for me, has never been about labels or logos. It’s about quality: of attention, of conversation, of time. A silk dress that fits just right. A meal lingered over. A connection that feels rare.

If you value that too, we’re already off to a good start.

A "grackle"?! Now that's a new (to me) word!

With everyone trading booze for mocktails, consider this my contribution: no shots, just a cone of vanilla bean nestled between my thighs and your full attention. 🍦

Now there's a term I haven't heard before. I assume a "life list" is a listing of the birds a person has seen over their lifetime?

I should listen to it more often! (I have a super short commute, but I do enjoy NPR.)

I love cardinals! I don't see them often here, but used to see them all the time where I grew up.

Maybe I'll make a bird feeder next... 👵

Great point! Circling back to a greater appreciation of life's simple moments.

Oh I don't mean it in a bad way whatsoever! ❤️ 🌹

I bet they were beautiful!

*debates downloading the app*

Oh no, now you've sent me down a rabbithole... 😅

Caught myself stopping to admire an unusually bright-blue bird today. Didn't even hesitate. This is how getting older begins, huh? 😆🐦

Don’t let the heels fool you; I charm humans and WordPress alike. (Website glitch resolved!) 😉

Good question! I would say it depends how familiar I am with the dish. If it's something I know relatively well, I'll often improvise/take inspiration/add my own twist, but if it's something I haven't had before, I want to master the original first. 👩🏻‍🍳

Cookbooks line my bookshelf — mementos from people I’ve adored. Flavors and stories pressed into pages, each one an invitation into someone else’s world. On #CulturalDiversityDay, I’m reminded how beautifully this work has broadened my world. Thank you. 🍽️

She’s packing her heels and her lace,
To tempt in some faraway place.
You think it’s all beaches?
It’s secrets and peaches.
And trouble you’re eager to chase.

Happy #NationalLimerickDay! 🍑

😘

Stay strong, and may the snacks be plentiful!

The use of ANN/KNN matching for balancing groups is a clever way to get more accurate insights.

A beautiful afternoon with a beautiful friend, all thanks to a special someone who made sure we felt their admiration from afar. So grateful for the generosity that brought @thenataliebyrne.bsky.social and me (and oh-so-fresh oysters!) together in San Francisco. 💞

The 57th NorCal Cherry Blossom Festival was a whirlwind of people, music, and color. Watching the Taru Mikoshi procession was unforgettable — the 1,000+ lb Mikoshi is carried by 150+ volunteers across five city blocks! And matcha ice cream made the day even sweeter. 🍵🍦🌸

Desire delayed is desire denied. 😉

Makes you wonder what else they perceive that we completely miss.

STOMP called. They want their percussionist back — and they’re very confused.

"Video," huh? 😉

Imagine thinking I’d delete my nudes. Those are collector’s items. Limited edition. Archival quality. 😜

Not everything is meant to return, and sometimes the absence says more than presence ever could.

Not the baguette holder 🥖 🤣

Honestly, if the "sexy singles in your area" bots don’t follow me, I’m going to take it personally. 😄
