Really glad to see some big name Sims creators leaving the EA creator network over the buyout. Doing the right thing is hard sometimes, and I'm proud of them for making that decision. Hopefully more will follow.

I'm totally obsessed with Coral Island now. Why didn't I try this game earlier?

Hooray for the MeowMobile!

Fact!

Time to make my yearly birthday wish. Please please please let it rain today! ⛈️

I am very anti AI, just in case that's not clear, lol.

Went on Pinterest for the first time in forever to look at home decor inspo. Like 75% was AI slop. So gross.

Well that's just crappy. Those little books were such great souvenirs.

If you are unfamiliar, they are a micro-targeting publisher of local histories and their books are found in many gift shops, museums and local attractions. Buyer beware!

Oh I totally think it makes sense, especially in college and being able to go with friends! That must have been so fun. Honestly, if I were local there's no way I wouldn't have an AP, crazy prices or not. I'd be there all the time, lol

Lol, yeah, the prices are crazy now. I had an AP for a long time, but not for several years. I wish I could go more often, but also I think I appreciate the trips I take now more than I did when I went 4+ times a year.

That must have been so fun as a kid to have Disneyland so close! My parents waited to take us until they felt my brother was old enough to really enjoy it (he was 4).

In 1985 this 7 year old took her first trip to Disneyland. 40 years later it's still my happiest place on Earth. Happy 70th Disneyland!

A tall cactus with lots of arms up against a wooden fence. It is blooming with half a dozen huge white flowers.

Our night blooming cactus bloomed last night. My Grandad planted it 30+ years ago, and the huge flowers are so cool :)

Screenshot from Disney Dreamlight Valley, my character is holding Max the dog from The Little Mermaid.

I have acquired the sheepdog! Max is just so dang cute.

NO KINGS.

This looks so great!

Yep, Tucson :)

We see them pretty often, but they usually are just passing through the yard. This one actually spent most of the afternoon in our carport, trying to stay out of the heat I guess!

Photo from Disney California Adventure from the entrance area looking toward the old sun sculpture and wave fountain.

I started with what might be the last film photos I ever took, Disneyland and DCA March 2002.

I'm tackling scanning all my family's photos and slides, and obviously I'm most looking forward to the Disney vacation ones.

A bobcat sleeping on it's side with it's legs stretched out. It's back half blends in with the dirt and gravel really well.

Our bobcat buddy from yesterday, totally zonked out :)

A bobcat took a nap by my front door today, all stretched out and comfy. My indoor kitties had no idea a wild cousin was right outside!

Spending my lunch break watching the Musk/Trump meltdown has been a really great way to break a bad mood, lol

Abu Dhabi Disneyland? Uhh...

That music gets me every time, I love that ride so much.

So awesome!

The Kentucky Derby is tomorrow and lots of people say they love it for the hats, but did you know you can actually wear silly hats anytime without supporting a “sport” that harms and kills thousands of horses every year? It’s true! 👒 katiecouric.com/news/opinion...
