Watched the new muppet show. My only note is that there should be more of them.

We saw The Great Gatsby musical yesterday and it was great but the hook of the song ‘New Money’ sounds exactly like the Fairly Oddparents theme song and now my brain is doing some VERY strange associations. (Also good luck getting this out of your head if you’ve seen both. Sorry.)

how dare

Listen. The greatest moment of television in my personal lexicon is an episode of Barefoot Contessa in which Ina’s friend Susan brings a ‘surprise guest’ - the doorbell rings, Ina opens it, flings her arms in the air, and shrieks “IT’S MEL!!” upon finding Mel Brooks on her doorstep. AS WE ALL WOULD.

Haha and I just realized I reflexively still call them retweets, whoops

This retweet is how I found out someone I went to high school with is on bsky, talk about doing it for the people! Hi @otherrbg.bsky.social!

LOL Z can tell me juicy details about every teacher’s divorce and D is startled every time he has to be reminded that someone changed their name

This sounds genuinely amazing, no notes

It’s the Patapsco now but growing up it was the Spokane!

It’s a solid strategy

My Bluesky strategy: occasionally retweet things, then disappear for a month, the show up to make one (1) post about food and reply to a million posts. Repeat.

put that back in the freezer, it’s melting

huge if true

Haha my brain went here AND to Mystique from the X-Men, fanfiction always has the answer 😂

Cosmo! D&D! Heist novel! You are livingggggggg

I genuinely hope that whatever food scientist came up with Nerds gummy clusters is getting some kind of real reward from it, monetary or career or whatever they want. They deserve it.

This remains one of my favorite things.

The last one applies to all the other ones!

I am also tired and absolutely parsed this as “oh, Bree is 3D printing some curtains, that tracks”. I should go to bed.

Me, finally watching Ahsoka multiple years after everyone else, shrieking “IS THAT @vinnythomas.bsky.social?!” during three crucial seconds to the extreme befuddlement of my significantly less Online spouse and children

BRB gotta go make a tshirt that says WOMAN OF LOW MERIT but the Os are all Mickey ears for my next trip to WDW

Foreigner looks so happy to be in the parade. Good for them!

EXCUSE YOU this is so smart!!!

It is also really great if you have grip issues or other problems with tearing or manipulating things! It lays flat so you can just store it in a drawer under other things!

Four cookie sheets on a white countertop. Each one is lined with brown parchment paper and holds about a dozen chocolate and peppermint cookies.

Hi friends! It’s baking season again, which means I am here to sing the praises of pre-cut parchment paper. YES it is more money but the amount of stress it saves me is unimaginable. It’s SO EASY. If you can swing it I highly recommend it.

A screenshot of an unexpanded Bluesky thread that goes from a link about UK trial laws to a description of a scene from Batman involving Jason Todd and the Joker, with ‘read full thread’ in between.

This is what showed up in my feed bc I haven’t checked bsky in a while, and I was skimming and didn’t even need to click the expansion to know this was you. The most Rahaeli point A to point B ever.

WOW

The turkeys are gonna pull this defrosting car over
