When I bake something, I take some to the owner of my fave spot. (His husband is a big fan of my lemon bars in particular.) He makes these shots that taste like an espresso martini, and when he shakes up a new batch he’ll wave me over to “test” it for free.

it's crazy that if you're a cat, your only two life outcomes are eating out of a trash can or getting treated like a little baby

i need to visit a big old bookshop that's a borderline fire hazard, please

Two photos. The first shows the outside of the home. The second shows a room with dark wood walls, bay windows, and a green fireplace.

Two photos showsing a beautiful, grand staircase with a ton of woodwork. Also stained glass windows.

Two photos. The first shows a green kitchen cabinet and sink. The second shows two doors that led to the outside.

Two photos of what appears to be some kind of study. There's a white fireplace.

Most people don’t realize that there are almost no curriculum mandates at the federal level. Curriculum is determined at the state and/or district level. So one person’s district might teach sight reading and the next district over might teach phonics.

These tiny paws that appeared in my living room seem to be gently snoring…

And people tell me the libs have no knack for messaging.

I’m so sorry 💔 May his soul rest in peace.

Someone in an inflatable frog costume. The high armhole allows them to raise their arm without disturbing the rest of the garment

a high armhole allows for freer and more comfortable movement

everything about the attempt to co-opt the language of social justice to promote AI personhood makes my skin absolutely crawl

that people are doing it in the current political environment, where the most basic human rights are crumbling before our eyes, is as bleak as it gets for me

This raises the question for me of what happened if two sisters were to marry two brothers on the same day. Which pair would be considered to be marrying their sibling? Or was this a loophole? 🤔

Tis a gift to be basic, tis a gift to be cringe

Google having the old school logo today for whatever reason is kind of pissing me off because it just reminds me of when it used to work significantly better

I had your dad for French Civ. That was a decade and a half ago, but I remember that he was very kind and understanding when my grandma passed that year. He’s in my prayers tonight.

Finally I can do my own #Caturday posts! Meet Amelia Mignonette Thermopolis Renaldi, Princess of Genovia, addressed simply as "Mignonette". Still a little confused by her new surroundings.

I forgot about the cupcakes 🥲

This happens with a lot of classics but the one that’s been bugging me lately is Alice in Wonderland. I read that book so many times as a child, I know if a quote was actually in it. Do not try to pass off your Johnny Depp quotes as genuine Alice lore to me!

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

This was a good reminder. Thank you.

But it’s in Ohio 😬

Today’s Bible verse is Matthew 26:52: “Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.”

It turns out she was right about…a lot.
(So was Hillary Clinton.)

Passion of the Christ 2: Electric Boogaloo

A closeup of pink lavender blooms

As a connoisseur of lavender: while the light purple flowers are more abundant and iconic, the pinkish ones do exist, I believe as a variety of English lavender (also my own color perception places this crayon right on the border between light purple and pink).

My second favorite is “pamplemousse” because, I mean, listen to it.
