I have reached the age where I should not sit on my floor without thinking about how I’m going to get back up first.

I am having not the best week and am operating on very little sleep but right now there is a kitty napping in my lap and that’s helping immensely.

We watched If I Had Legs I’d Kick You last night, and I think it’s going on my mountain of excellent movies I only need to see once in my life. Rose Byrne was just phenomenal (and maybe a little relatable) embodying the intersection between autism and ADHD.

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some Zen to the feed

Democracy is dying in America.

ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous.

We need real leaders - not career politicians.

Anastasia took my finger in her front paws and nuzzled her nose against it to say hello, and that, folks, is the absolute highlight of my day. Does not get any better than that. 😻❀️

Hehe, the macaron guy is a little out of his depth here. I’m white and able-bodied and the BAFTA incident is way out of my lane. I think this is an opportunity for me to listen and learn instead.

I am telling myself that it’s okay to not publicly share a take on a sensitive subject and just shut up and listen to what more knowledgeable folks have to say about it instead.

Anything can be a sheet pan meal if you put what you have on a sheet pan and believe in yourself.

Absolutely! If they had been around when I was a kid I probably would have eaten a ton more fruit, lol.

Experimenting with some of Maddie Brehm’s macaron filling recipes: Rice Krispy Treat (made with toasted marshmallows, crushed Krispies, and brown butter) and Strawberry Cake Batter (made with strawberry cake mix and freeze dried strawberries.) #bakesky #macarons #dfwdesserts

I fundamentally did not understand why Mia and Juicy came unprepared for the challenge. Did they not watch the show, Tamar?

Brown and white tabby cat spread eagled on her back, legs everywhere, drifting off to sleep on a red plaid blanket.

Anastasia actually fell asleep like this last night as I was watching Drag Race:

Hard agree.

Also Star Trek Nemesis is just not worth the effort to watch.

The person my boss hired to manage our social media is using AI to create images of the macarons we make in our store and it’s kind of upsetting. Our work doesn’t need to be enhanced by AI, it’s beautiful just as it is.

QTP with a game gif you can immediately hear:

Also showing my age a bit here. We were never really much of a video game household past Atari 2600.
