When I got back from 3 weeks in Portugal, I was screamed at for *days* “how DARE you leave me with other humans?”

Same here

Oh yes, this would be awesome. I mean, I kind of already haunt museums in my corporeal form. I spent three days in the National Museum of Scotland.

Interesting. They did this with the IronPigs this past year, but only during school time, so as to make sure kiddos could come out and still get enough sleep to go to school the next day. I appreciated it as well, given that I can’t seem to get enough sleep these days.

When I had two cats, absolutely. And the doofus wasn’t even orange. I also miss him and being able to hold him like a baby. The plotter is a shoulder cat.

Aw. I get it. Poor thing.

Was there meant to be a cat tax here?

Watching one get drained turned me from pre-med to an English lit major.

Bluesky wearing a cone of shame after you get removed. 😜

I am SO happy to hear this. Give her a (non-butt) scritch for me.

Taking me forever (I’m in another reading slump atm), but still working on @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social ‘s ‘Is A River Alive?’ Suspect part of the reason is because it will affect me greatly and the world is a bit too much right now.

Oh, they are pretty much everywhere all over the northeast. A popular landscape plant, but they only look good for two weeks out of the year. So many better alternatives!

Sigh. That first pic is of winged euonymus (aka burning bush), which is highly invasive. It’s very noticeable in full sun, because it is a deep red, but I tends towards pink in the shade.
Yes, sometimes I wish I could unlearn what I know so I can just enjoy a walk in the woods without wincing.

I had an actual countdown going for a couple years, with numbers I pulled off each day. But my other sports love is hockey, so that gets full attention now!

A traumatizing home run to left field in Toronto? Join the club

Feck.

But I have both Dodgers and Jays fans on my feed! 😜

Same, Micah. Although I am definitely rooting for the Jays.

Nope.

I’m so sorry, Paul. I went through something similar with one of mine just over a year ago. Hope the wee thing gets through this ok. Soft pats for Kit.

Dammit

Yaaasssss! 💙 🐦

My mother swore she didn’t have the accent (in her defense, she mostly doesn’t, given that she hasn’t lived in Delco since the 60s), until I pointed out that she says ‘toos-dee’.

Shake Shackleton 😆

I thought of you first thing yesterday when I saw my word of the day 🍄‍🟫🙂

You know how it’s C4?

Oh wait. Is this why we are all 38? It all makes sense now. 🧛‍♀️

Should you really be summoning @mementomorty.bsky.social on All Hallows Eve?

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵
