I’m just imagining the Mythbusters testing this with ballistics gel and dummies, tbh

And a ladder.

Just imagine the photoshoot

I have waited patiently through spooky season. Bring out the meal preparation Gantt charts and the gift shopping spreadsheets, IT’S MY TIME TO SHINE

same but costume

I felt it!! I happened to be leaning against the kitchen counter so I got the full effect of the house shaking. Had no idea what it was, LOL.

We had a wee little earthquake here this evening. 2.5, according to USGS. My house shook! Wild stuff for Maryland.

I love this

I posted about my recent age-related shoulder impingement diagnosis on Facebook and the over-40 women are coming out of the woodwork in the comments. The things our bodies do to us in return for managing to survive this long are wildly unfair.

😘😘😘 I’ll see what I can do

This is on my list to go to the next time I’m there!

the hero we deserve

Why non-dietary? a) that info is relatively easy to find, and I’m working on it already but also have to feed three triathletes every day who require pretty much the opposite, so it’s a balancing act and b) sometimes it’s a bad shoulder day and you want to eat French toast about it

Hello! It’s me, your friend with a rare and stupid autoimmune disorder, here to ask your non-dietary tips on reducing chronic inflammation! My connective tissue and various appendages thank you in advance!

Story of my life.

I am planning to do this!! A gardener I follow who’s in our zone - literally super close to me - posted about it and she’s had a ton of success with it. It seems like a really fun thing to try.

My husband took our son fishing this morning and he is not responding to any of my texts which consist solely of quotes from the increasingly obscure Strongbad Goes Fishing episode. Rude.

They have to wait through the dial up noise first

PASTA MAKER NEXT

All the extra time you’ll live will be spent cleaning up.

My one experience with Hopkins pediatric neurology for my kid was both amazing and terrifying, this tracks.

Ooo, this one sounds up my alley. And a great cover!

Yes, OBVIOUSLY if I had known this was coming I would have waited to reread Infinite Coffee and Protection Detail again. But I read it like last week. That’s too soon. You have to save up for it.

The amount of pressure I am feeling right now to identify and download a long enough fic to tide me through the upcoming AO3 20-hour maintenance is unreal. (I only read at bedtime! For like an hour! BUT STILL.)

(Yes, recs welcome, esp if they involve Bucky Barnes or Jason Todd)

We need to sell about 500 of these to fully fund the native plant project for 2026. We're at about 90 so far so we're getting there! Tell your animal loving friends about this calendar 😘

There is nothing an older person in the grocery store likes more than seeing a younger person buying parsnips, let me tell you. I’m making brisket tonight and got stopped by MULTIPLE elderly ladies to compare recipes when they saw me pulling out a couple bags of ye olde parsnips.

A small tart, with slices of plum arranged in the shape of a flower atop barely-visible vanilla cream.

I MADE this. I am astonished at myself.

If you see this quote with the energy you bring to Bluesky

Every time I talk to a pharmacist and mention one of my prescriptions comes from Hopkins I get a sympathetic eyeroll, especially if it’s a new one or a fresh refill cycle 😂
