DOOT DOOT DOOOOOO...PUTTIN' TOGETHER AN ART LESSON FOR MY KID ABOUT EDWARD GOREY BECAUSE HOMESCHOOL - I DO WHAT I WANT!!! DOOT DOOT DOOO.... 😄

When my item description in my Buy Nothing group gets laugh reacts, I feel like I've won at Buy Nothing, regardless of whether anyone wants the item. 😁

Being wrong means you're about to learn something. WHICH IS A GOOD THING!!!

"Do you struggle with eye contact?" "No, I have MASTERED it!!!" - said no NT person ever. 😅

Some of the questions are so dated. I remember getting, "Do find it easy to memorize telephone numbers?" And I was like, "Who the HELL thinks about telephone numbers anymore???"

🤦‍♀️

I mean, to be fair, we CAN'T abolish the Department of Ed, we're just...doing it anyway. *headdesk* (Also, abolish ICE, defund the police!)

To give you an idea of how terrible I am at gardening: I planted zucchini in like April. It is now July, and not only am I NOT drowning in zucchini, I have 0 zucchini. (I do have a couple of blossoms, though!)

"Let me teach you to play harmonics, they're super easy - SURPRISE PHYSICS LESSON!!!" 🤣🤣🤣

Gonna have to resist the urge to pounce on them and tell them all about the circle of 5ths, though. Or at least not rush it. Gotta sense the right moment...

We tried violin. We tried flute. They didn't quite take. So this Fall for homeschool music, I'mm'a just hand 'em a guitar and a bunch of YouTube videos and let 'em play! (Since they're already getting bonus sneaky music history in social studies...heh...)

This curriculum does a nice job of not going, "OOPS all Western history!" too, so it's extra fun! BUT ALSO! 4 units on the middle ages? *froths at the mouth*

Not me sneakily turning my kid's "Ancient History" homeschool curriculum into a music history course... 😅

Does "Killing in the Name" by Rage Against the Machine strike the right tone? Because it is for me lately...

This is SO TRUE!!!

*screams into a pillow*

@davidsplace.bsky.social - Your horoscope for today. We’ll all believe you about el chupacabra, but YOU not having a sword OR a camera? BS.

I’m sorry, ONLY 43% of white men self-censor at work? So 57% of white men just go around blabbing out whatever pops into their heads at work? And we’re calling THAT “walking on eggshells???” Pretty sure 100% of the women I know self-censor at work. How else would one get through the DAY???

Advance copy of Chuck Tingle’s “Lucky Day” that I WON IN A GIVEAWAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

IT’S MY LUCKY DAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

This good boy misses you! I mean, this good boy doesn't have object permanence, but as soon as he SEES you again, he's gonna be like, "I MISSED HER SO MUCH!!!"

The world's sweetest creamsicle cat, curled up on his side, exposing his FLUFFLY BELLEH, his head on a laptop like a pillow, surrounded by squishmallows and assorted stuffies. He gazes lovingly into the camera, an absolutely delirious smile on his sweet, derpy little face.

My cat does this. And then I come and pet his belleh. And then you know what he does? He rolls onto his back like, "Oh here you go, Momma!" WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE HIMB??? 🥹🥹🥹

I adore Betty White, but this is just straight facts is what this is.

Remember when plane crashes used to be rare?

An adorable family of deer have been hanging out in our yard all day, and probably I should be doing something to protect my plants from them, but nah - I'm growing deer now. (Actually they're mostly interested in our invasive honeysuckle, which - EAT UP, FRIENDS!!!)

Preach!

Sometimes I look at what's trending here just to keep abreast of current events. Today I saw that "nuggets" was trending. NUGGETS??? I LOVE nuggets!!! Turned out to be a sports thing. Huge letdown.
