Easy to miss this news with all that’s happening, but what a sad, shameful state of affairs. Sorry to all the species that will go extinct in my lifetime—but we’ve got to think of the (gas, oil, agriculture) shareholders 😭

This scene alone

That movie is so fucking fun. We watched it twice this year and I already want to watch it again

who's responsible for the "person pointing at text" influencer-style videos and why is this still happening. haven't we all suffered enough

I subscribed to the Onion last month and my tote bag is the envy of discerning journalism scholars everywhere 🧐

This week is making me glad we canceled our decade-plus-long premium Spotify family plan back in the spring. If I could quit it again, I would.

My new electric toothbrush (it was a gift) wants me to download an app and enable Bluetooth. A toothbrush. I don’t need to “engage” with my toothbrush.

Me and fall warblers (and gulls) (and most shorebirds….) (….and a lot of ducks)

Amazing energy and community today! Proud of my city ✌️🐸🦄

Was fitted today with old-school bracket braces—my first-ever orthodontia! (🥲) Anyhow, this is how it feels right now

Sea turtle? Flounda? Baby fahckin’ wheel? How am I a decade late to the ocean sunfish conversation? Babe, wake up. My Massachusetts summer seaside diary just dropped.

Need a laugh? Something lighthearted to break up the doom scroll, perhaps? Explore the world of the ocean sunfish and the Bostonians who love them.

These might be the most bleak costume ideas in the store (and the irony that everything in there was, like, 30% more expensive than it would’ve been last year). Who is the audience for this tariff tunic costume? “I’m essentially a spreadsheet!” So much Halloween fun! 🥲

I just received notification that my share of the Facebook privacy settlement is headed my way via paper check. Can't wait to spend what I anticipate will be $3 on something special. Take THAT Zuckerberg 😃

Live Nation's CEO Says Concerts Are 'Underpriced' and in Demand. Are They Really? Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino recently said concert tickets are 'underpriced' at an average of $72, as fans complain about fees and dynamic pricing.

Another day, another greedy billionaire telling us that, actually, we should be paying *more* than we already are. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

lol, forgot to include Paramount+ in that list. Making it easy to shave money off my monthly expenses, though, so there’s that!

In the last week, greedy billionaires have easily convinced me to cancel Hulu, HBO and Disney+. (Adding to the list of Target, Amazon Prime, Netflix and others). I don’t miss any of it. More time and money for cooler shit, like planting native plant like this cute little New England aster! 🤩

If nothing else, I got my bird of the day 🙄

Wavy-lined emerald moth. Their caterpillars attach pieces of dried flowers and other plants to themselves as camouflage. Nature! 🤩🤯

This Monarch is just about ready to emerge! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🦋

Last night/tonight 🤞🏻 this little guy makes it!! NATURE

Ever look around and think “wow, nature is unreal”?? We are so lucky to live on this planet. (photos taken in RMNP & Brainard Rec Area, Colorado)
