I love walking out of my house and seeing this tree in the fall. It’s always so pretty.

Sunset alert, chicago

i decided to take a mental health day today, and it's like the universe wanted to reward me because TWO library books i've been waiting on for weeks just came off my hold queue.

trying to do tan suit arugula stuff to obama in 2026 is extremely funny. good luck with that. you need a mortgage to get halloween candy

Celebrated N’s bday a few days early at Fork and Coin. Can highly recommend! And it was warm enough to sit on the back patio, which was lovely. Walked there and back which is about 4 miles round trip under a cool spooky moon on the way home.

You've still got a couple hours to get in on the Early Bird package...

ATTENTION CHICAGO: valiantly have we resisted attempts by Dark Forces from the West to distract us with the Deep Dish Pizza Discourse so they can steal our water. They see our strength and have invented a new local pizza discourse to beat us. DO NOT FALL FOR IT! DO NOT ENGAGE IN PIZZA DISCOURSE!

one of the worst parts about sitting in a cube instead of a private office is all the respect I’m losing for my colleagues as i overhear how much they use AI and talk about AI.

Had a bad dream about my dead dog, couldn’t bike to work because of knee pain, left my overnight oats in the fridge and the breakfast I paid $10 to replace it sucked. Not a great start to the day.

it sucks to have a bad dream about your dog but then you wake up and your dog died a year ago so you can’t even hug her to make yourself feel better.

I love this account for cozy vibes. Between the lovely voiceover and the satisfying river finds, it just makes me feel so calm. youtube.com/shorts/uiybl...

i think I put my contacts in the wrong eyeballs today 😵‍💫

It’s heated cat bed season for all who celebrate. (Milton. Milton is the one who celebrates.)

The mask has these metal cooling pads that go under your eyes and I was skeptical at first but man it feels good.

wondering why my bsky morning catch-up feed looks so familiar, then remembering i woke up at 2am and couldn’t fall back asleep so i’ve already read it.

I have needed to buy some plain white athletic socks for like a year. Finally went to the store and bought some today. Realized just now I never checked the size on the package. I bought the wrong size.

I may not use it very often but when I need it, the apple corer/peeler/slicer comes in clutch.

Just want everyone to know that Milton is officially a sweet boy per his medical records

7 am is just a bit too early on a Sunday to be blasting music so loud the entire neighborhood can hear it

Wore my @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social jacket for the after dinner walk and a driver pulled over to ask me where I got it 😆 “it’s so cool! I could see you from the corner”

Stay off the oak st curve (and probably other spots) on the lft tonight, peeps youtube.com/shorts/lO1nF...

milton's primary vet and specialist vet are like proactively talking to each other which is how it should be but has never happened in my 25 year history of owning pets as an adult, so it feels really wild to me

lol i thought "maybe mixing creatine into my cottage cheese would be better than drinking it in water" and boy was i wrong

although i am not officially diagnosed and am in fact not yet supposed to start eliminating gluten, i am delighted to see that the Jeni's buttercream birthday cake ice cream is gluten free.
