Does anyone know if radio France (rock musique) streaming is purely controlled by random shuffle? Because maybe I’m just reading the political disappointment of the moment into the song choice, but it sure feels intentional

This account is a marvel

People in Los Angeles have been protesting 24 hours for 2 weeks straight and no news outlet is covering it! 8/8/25

Remembering the folks of Lahaina today and sending love to all who survived and are figuring out how to put the pieces together again. Also sending condolences for those still grieving those lost to the fires

It’s blackberry season in the PacNW and I’m here to tell you to pretreat blackberry stains on clothing with hot milk.

I tried duck-going some specific plant species. The top results were from what looked like legitimate garden sites/blogs. But when I open them they’re nothing but things that don’t make sense, Ai meanderings about cacti having long livers and sequoia living for 56million years. Nothing trustworthy

If you don’t know the history of Chavez ravine and dodgers stadium, now would be an excellent time to educate yourself laist.com/news/la-hist...

Got home and half the house is without power. Power company says our weather something was bad but I’m kind of wondering if it’s also solar flares exasperating a problem. Anywho, dude from the electric company is up on the roof and the lights just came back on

one thing I believe is it’s important to celebrate good things 10x as hard and to look for them 10x as often because our animal brains are hard-wired to pay 10x as much attention to bad things; it keeps us alive, but it doesn’t keep us happy happiness has to be fought for, survival will tend itself

Oh folks… It’s sooooooo much worse than what we were originally told. I’m so angry I can’t do anything but go walk in the woods. When I calm down a little bit I’ll tell you all about it

Found what I’d consider a dream home for sale. It’s small, well built, has obviously been loved and tended. It had several offers, including ours. We wheeled, we dealed. They wanted to work with us. We were ready! They suddenly got a call for a higher price, all cash. Foreign investors. I’m crushed

The emperor isn’t wearing any clothes!

I’ve never really been into sports much but my favorite local pub is having FIFA World Cup watch parties. Seems like a fun way to spend some time and meet some folks. How do I get into this?

Reminder that Ted Lasso is a great way to escape

Someone out there needs to hear this: those little birds and critters that visit your yard, balcony or patio? They know who you are. You’re part of their world

Went to my local hardware store yesterday looking for a storage shelf. Got chatting w a worker there. She mentioned I’d probably seen what I was looking for on Amazon and decided to come into the store to see it irl. “Nope,” I said. “Funk him.” I’m shopping local these days. Funk the billionaires

My predictions for Kennedy center lineup: Quilters with the abortion scene deleted. Peter Pan but played by a man. Sound of music but the nazh¡s are the good guys. Cinderella but showing she is still the industrious trad wife at the end:al la ballerina farms. Your thoughts?

It’s like they don’t know folks like to mix it up quick and get out. How many companies has he dealt in? How many kids from how many women does he have? People like him don’t go back to passion once they leave. The theme is done and dusted. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I want to put my credit card chip at the end of a fancy stick so I can look like a mad witch when I pay for my potatoes and eggs

Tonight I’m gonna party like it’s 1929

If your day has been hard, if you’re feeling anxious or angry or lost, allow yourself to pause for a moment and come back to your breathing. The present moment is all we truly have. When we become so tied up in our thoughts, we miss our appointment with life. Rest well, my friends. 😊 #calm #peace

Why is it “chicken coup? Why not “hen pen?

Happy caturday to all who celebrate

Had the most satisfying dream about my arch nemesis. I confronted her about something (dream reality, not awake reality) and she balked, then slipped and fell on ice and couldn’t stand up without flailing and smashing to the ground again. Eventually she walked off into the night. Bye bye b¡tch

Old picture of my cat (RIP) the time we planted catnip for her and she got absolutely gacked off her tits every afternoon during her supervised yard time.

Dear world, please do not judge us harshly. Most of us are good-caring people, and we hate him too.

Dear Tana French Thanks for Cal, Tre and Lana They’re delightful

Tiny things happening in the rainy forest today. It’s the last week of meteorological winter and the woods know it

I think 30 Rock is better with age. How is that possible?

Looking forward to another weekend

I’ve seen the J6 website is gone but all anyone is talking about is Gulf of Mexico/America. Seems like he’s got us talking about what he wants us to talk about #slightofhand

BREAKING: LOOK AT MY CATS!!!

👋 My first post on @bsky.app and more to come 💯

On a positive note: I found eggs at the grocery store today

It’s only Tuesday? Here’s a few things that made me happy over the weekend

Seattle area folks: what’s your favorite local coffee roaster? Looking for local for subscription

Here’s a fun thing: hair ice on a hot stick

Yay! Another of my favorite accounts has made their way to blue sky!
