My #parrot is living his best life: the human/parrot flock is all together, he's watching my husband play a video game, and I periodically deliver snacks direct to his beak.

Anything by L Ron Hubbard. It’s still a core part of the religion he started.

I will hold that grudge until I die.

Trainer told us to tighten our abs during planks as if we were going to get punched in the stomach. Classmate said that was an unlikely experience and I informed the class that Jenny Warner sucker-punched me in the stomach in grade school and I got in trouble for tattling when I told a teacher.

Major achievement in beginning strength training: I was complimented by two different teachers on my deadlift form. This is huge considering I once landed myself in physical therapy due to poor deadlift form.

I’m focusing on two things right now: improving my ability to focus and sitting properly on my living room chair instead of lying across it horizontally, forming myself into a C shape. I think the latter might be the more difficult.

It cracks me up when my parrot begs and begs for me to share food I know he hates then gives me a look of disgust and betrayal when he tastes it. Today I let him have a sip of my matcha latte (oat milk). He tried it and literally spit it back out into my face.

I discovered that my city requires you to list the plants you’ll be planting when going through permitting for building a house. They must be native and listed in this book. Odd that they use a third party resource but nice in that it’s a huge list. lonepinebooks.com/product/plan...

A nice thing about switching planners mid-year is that I have tons of pages to experiment with different writing tools, layouts, etc.

Tango is beautiful! My blue-crowned conure is similarly enraged by feet. Fortunately he doesn’t like being on the floor but when he is you’ve gotta watch out for your toes. He’s surprisingly fast, too.

I’m really fucking tired of the Dems running candidates that they think SHOULD be able to win, or seemingly those that are next in line. If they nominate Kamala Harris again they might as well just put her on a ticket with Hillary Clinton because they’re equivalently (un)electable.

Same. I’ve been considering it for a while. I love my iro-utsushi dip pen but need a finer nib for the Hobonichi grid pages.

Fountain pen and Hobonichi friends: has anyone tried out Kakimori antique brass dip nibs on 2025/2026 planners? I‘d like to have a line width similar to my TWISBI fine and Pilot Falcon EF nibs as I write small. Also, probably Diamine forever or De Atrementis inks.

First thing to make me laugh today.

If you wonder what will happen when the rapture occurs tomorrow, check out the classic film A Thief in the Night. Lots of kids raised evangelical saw this when we were way too young and are still a little traumatized. The third is especially nightmare fuel.

Two skeletons dressed in "witchy" attire sitting at a coffee shop table with coffee cups and flowers. There's a sign to the right above them with the name of the coffee shop and a hand holding a ceramic coffee cup.

I love seeing these ladies enjoying themselves in September and October every year.

I bought "Pacific Northwest Line Drawing" on a whim. I don't have much artistic talent but I'd like to develop it. Maybe I'll apply my ADHD coping skills this time so it doesn't end up with all the other projects I've started and abandoned.

I know this because I searched your posts for the one about personal training, not because I’m a creeper.

Last night I dreamt there was a business that created custom cards for a card catalogue from a list of books you own. You'd get cards for each book's subject category, characters, and other metadata based on the company's
"extensive tagging data." Pretty cool, but about 40 years too late.

Maybe there’s an aggressiveLu friendly triathlon feed like the fountain pen feed! Also, it is your most popular post. You can use the search feature on your own profile to see posts sorted by “top.”

They also work with a registered dietician, so I can get nudged and have accountability for fixing my deplorable dietary habits.

I’ve finally taken your advice! Almost. I am signed up for small group training classes at a studio that specializes in women 40+. The owner does consults with you to set goals and check progress. I’m really looking forward to it!

Fountain pen fanatic nightmare: I’m at a class where I’m taking notes and brought two pens. One is almost out of ink so I brought a backup. I didn’t check the ink in the second pen, so now I’m stuck using a pencil. May this be the worst thing that happens to me.
