Iris, 3: your nipple looks like ice cream

Iris: can I lick the toothpaste a little?
Her mom: no, you already licked it a little.
Iris: no, I licked it *a lot.*
Her mom: ok, you can lick it a little.

Iris, 3: Help me! Take my pants off, I need to eat some water.

Figurine of an amber bear carved some 10,000 years ago during the Mesolithic period. The bear is seen in profile facing right. The legs are incomplete. The ears, muzzle and mouth are depicted. The figurine is displayed on a small metal stand. The display lighting shining on the bear’s head and neck enhances the translucence of the orange coloured amber

An ancient and magical amber bear. Carved some 10,000 years ago, it washed up on a beach at Fanø in Denmark from a submerged Mesolithic settlement under the North Sea.

✨Merry Christmas everyone✨

Iris, 3: I got my knives when I was a baby, from a police man, and that’s how I learned to talk.

@flysas.com your website and app have both been giving me a system error when I try to book. I’ve tried on three different devices—it’s been doing this for the past 2 hours. I’ve also been on hold with customer service for almost the same amount of time. Are calls still being answered?

Wife, to our newborn: you have a little bit of bellybutton on your penis, which is a sentence I never thought I’d say

I would upgrade my iPhone immediately if Apple Intelligence was able to effectively identify political texts and block them all automatically

Me: what do you want to be when you grow up?
Iris: gum.
Me, confused: what’s gum?
Iris, impatient: it’s like food.

Iris: I love chewing tweety bird’s eyes

Iris pronounces playground as “pain ground”

Yep, that tracks. I haven’t stopped watching it, but it feels best as background TV—like a soap opera that has mini drama whenever you shift your attention to it.

So is succession ultimately just a show about how being rich is kinda boring?

Samsung comprises 22%+ of South Korea’s GDP, and has the 5th strongest brand value on earth. Nonetheless it has for years had a website that is essentially nonfunctional. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Augustina A. always be purchasing

Ah yes the real world/road rules challenge —> US secretary of transportation pipeline

Me: ooh, edamame!
Iris: eda-my mom?

There’s so much to admire about David Lynch, but it should be noted that the man had maybe the best head of hair on earth

And sex bots with the same name over and over

One song I get stuck in my head sometimes is that meme collage of Jason Derulo singing his own name over and over again

💯 I also feel this way about sugary foods and drinks. Please make more low sugar lemonades and whatever, but don’t then add stevia, allulose, or artificial sweeteners. It’s ok to have things that are just a touch sweet.

Ok, let me rephrase. More like a standard human level of activity—post every few days or weeks, the occasional reply to a thread like this. But also, this was about auto block lists, I’m hard pressed to imagine most people actively investigating and evaluating accounts that don’t even follow them.

Thank you for explaining this, I must be on one. I could not understand what was happening. Like, how would these strangers have a reason to block an account like mine with barely any activity, let alone controversial or offensive post? God forbid I used sky bridge to restore my old follow list

Same but also asparagus and spring onions

Are all the sex bots on bluesky named Camilla?

Watching peaky blinders is a great way to get back into smoking cigarettes

Hey before the end of the year is a great time to donate a few dollars to @wikipedia.bsky.social since it’s the best website ever and operates on a shoestring.
