I see the appeal of NM.

I have delivered @productivityalchemy.com’s Camaro to his home relatively unscathed (there were Stories, y’all!). Wish I could stay, but I’m literally at ABQ headed to SJC now.

I’ll be back!

Thank you for always speaking your truth, my friend!

Buy the knock-offs direct from Temu and eliminate lining Bezo's pockets.

My brain without caffeine, folks.

(That's my excuse and I'm sticking it to it!)

Dropped @productivityalchemy.com's car off at the mechanic before dragging it to NM. A few hours later:

"Can I get into the Cammy I dropped off earlier to get my phone out of it?"
*blank stare*
"The Chevy Camry."
*blank stare*
"I mean the Chevy Cavalier!"
*blank stare*

"You mean the Camaro?" 🤦‍♀️

The vulture was standing in the middle of my lane with his wings outspread. No dead things in sight. Odd behavior...poisoned maybe? Some have suggested bird flu. He finally wandered to the other side of the road and sat for a moment before finally taking off. Godspeed, my feathered wannabe-assassin.

TIL that as long as DEET (my beloved SUV) has one tire on solid ground (and no tires trapped by tree roots), he can haul himself out of a ditch.

Why were we in a ditch? Let's just say no vultures nor DEETs were harmed in obtaining this knowledge.

RIGHT? Glad it's not just me. Really thought it was a Dodge Charger. Apparently it's a Chevy Camaro.

Thank you for the Billys. They will now house my shoe collection. :D

Number one, it was kazoo.

Number two, Kevin will be forever annoyed that I asked him something about the "Dodge."

I just can't with American cars.

People used to ask me how to overcome imposter syndrome and I would tell them I didn't know, I was born with the confidence gene.

Turns out I'm just mildly autistic and wired not to care what people think!

Getting diagnosed in your 50s is wild, y'all. It just explains *waves hands* soooo much.

A small orange pumpkin in a very dark environment. The lighting from within it reveals a carving of a woman wearing a white doctor’s coat with a small stethoscope around her neck, in front of her sits the silhouette of a fluffy pear-shaped cat.

We got a pumpkin today! Time to start planning the cats' scary jack o'lantern for this year. Past years have included: nail clippers, vacuum cleaner, the vet, and a spray bottle. 🎃

An Ancient Disease Is Making A Comeback In Parts Of The USA

Oh, hey! Scurvy is making a comeback.

America is great again!

Rock on with your bad self!!

I didn’t go this year - opted for a warm winter in Australia over Vegas summer heat. Zero regrets!

Went to a yoga/meditation festival last week and had an epiphany as I looked out over the Eat, Pray, Love crowd dancing amongst the backdrop of the beautiful mountains of Zion National Park:

I'm a Binge, Fuck, Fight kind of gal.

Sometimes, being in the wrong place is the right thing for you...

To be fair, fiend is most accurate...

Woman, you and I are walking incidents!!

Hey, if you’re still on Twitter, be sure not to publicize this neo Nazi they’re protecting

I’m not saying that garlic bacon cheddar drop biscuits are the best biscuits ever, but since they just happen to be the ones fresh out of the oven…I am saying these biscuits in front of me are the best at the moment!

Did I make the pie shell myself? Hell, no, I outsourced that to Pillsbury.

I didn’t even peel the apples. Just slice, cook down with bacon, 2 tbls sugar, spices, dump into pre-cooked shell, cover and bake. Easy as, well, pie!

I might maybe just possibly be at @ksonney.bsky.social and @tkingfisher.bsky.social's place baking a bacon & apple pie (after making a tasty batch of Filipino poncit, of course...)

This is going to be deeeeeeelicious!

Carlota Sage on LinkedIn: #fakeliprofile #wtf #aihallucinations #willtherealjohndonovanpleasestandup... I like to Google myself every now and then; it's good to see who else is rocking your name. Right now, there's myself, a mom in a Latinx country, a perfume…

Hey, folks! Suggest you Google yourselves and see what LinkedIn thinks your accomplishments are…

Apparently, I’m my friend John Donovan in the Google search results. :disguised_face: :face_with_spiral_eyes:

My French is so bad that the French are genuinely relieved when I switch to English. Bless my heart. :D

The #kakapo at Maungatautari are keeping us on our toes! Last week Manaaki was found outside of the fence and returned inside. We suspect he used a tree to jump the fence, so further tree trimming is underway and we’re closely monitoring all 10 birds in this new population. 📸 DOC. #conservation

If a strange man awoke me from an enchanted sleep with a kiss, I'd say, "Thank you. I did not consent to any of this, but I do appreciate your help with resolving this issue," and get on with my life.
