I've bookmarked this post so I can sit down and read it when I get home. I look forward to your insight.

Those guys would *hate* her cooking. Unless they enjoy Vienna sausage and baked beans from a can every Sunday.

Back in the aughts it wasn't available to me because I was "too old." Anyway, guess who got cervical cancer at 33??

I get a little chuckle to myself when I see these manosphere podcast bros whinging about how women don't cook as good as their grandmas once did.

Pardon me, sir, but my grandmother was a terrible cook. She was also a NASA engineer.

My dirty, lefty ass is a better cook, but she was smarter.

Today in the park there are a couple of people out playing with their birds. They're kind of far away so I can't see what kind of birds they are. Parrots, maybe??

Listening to @mehdirhasan.bsky.social on @zeteo.com and watching people play with birds is altogether not a bad way to spend an arvo.

Yes.

It's embarrassing.

Americans are killed, thrown in detention camps. Children, expectant mothers are denied medical care, 4 military members are dead in a war of choice and this foolish man is talking about drapes and his lust for another medal. Shameful. There is a far darker, bigger hole in his soul.

Nearly three years ago my daughter's best friend died of a fent overdose. Today would have been her 28th birthday.

She and I weren't super close, but we were friends. I miss her terribly.

Ran into the little cookie dealers outside the grocery store and bought a few boxes.

The Brownie Scouts are almost as tall as I am. Every single one.

Two kids sitting outside the Mexican restaurant with their bikes, eating takeout churros in the sun.

Not everything on earth sucks out loud.

I think it's hilarious that @stevehofstetter.bsky.social and I are the exact same age and he's experiencing his first child as I'm experiencing my first grandchild.

There's a little girl in a pink flowered dress doing chin-ups in the park. She's currently beating Pete Kegstand's arse.

A kid in pajamas on a skateboard carrying four bags of trash to the dumpster. That kid is being raised right. πŸ€—

In case anyone was wondering, Seattle has 3 mayors: Katie Wilson, Megan Rapinoe, and Sue Bird.

My mum and I spent the evening at The Tractor in Seattle with Devon Sproule and Carsie Blanton. Infinitely more worthwhile than the SOTU.

Have you ever been in an empty parking garage at night and thought to yourself, "this is where they're going to find my body??" Just me??

I can't believe Charleigh Bullock is just now a senior!! She was so prolific as a junior that it feels like we've been watching her for 100 years, and she's just beginning her senior career. Wow.

Stood next to a guy jacking off on the train. I guess somewhere in my heart of hearts I knew it would happen one day.

A photo of Cal Raleigh, Seattle Mariners’ catcher, sitting behind home plate with legs stretched out front and holding his glove with the ball in front of him, mask off with dark helmet facing backwards and staring oddly at the camera like what now?
