I love looking this up every gosh dang year when I file my taxes 🫠

This looks like the perfect combo!

Formal request for “die mad, bots” merch

That's a weird plot twist, for sure. If they're fake accounts, I don't see the point in having them open the messages—unless they're trying to boost views or something? I'm at a loss, to be honest. I do hope Ghost continues to investigate and roll out fixes.

Interesting! Thanks for the follow-up links, sincerely. I do see some posts in there about potential fixes and updates, so I'll have to look into that this weekend 🧐

I'm also getting a bunch of spam sign-ups today. ☹️

Eee! Welcome!

Waiting for some noble Etsy shop to sell a framed print of that last line for every office to display.

Not sure how it works here, but when I worked for a state government, each state vehicle had to have a certain number of miles on it per reporting period, or we were at risk of having that vehicle cut from the budget and taken away. People got creative to add miles (but without being this wasteful).

EXACTLY. I share a birthday with Beyoncé, and I feel like I can't let her do ALL the work. 😂

(Almost everyone in my life calls me Skirts instead of Rachel, but please let me enjoy this moment of having one small thing in common with a god-tier human being.)

Hot damn, the rest of us Rachels have a lot to live up to. 😍

That embedded thread had one, thank you berry much.

Close-up of the uncapped fountain pen against grid paper. Pen has splotches of color in the resin: a peachy pink, white, black, and gold. Some parts of the resin are clear, allowing you to see through to the nib and cartridge/converter. (Leonardo Momento Zero in Corricella & Gold, extra-fine nib.)

A group of six nature valentines. A picture of a bog with pitcher plants, with text saying "Our love is like a bog. Built up over time, resistant to decay, deeply interesting to just a small number of people." A yellow slime mold stretching out and exploring. "Our love is like a slime mold. Collaborative, complex, at times unnerving to behold." A piece of limestone with a small trilobite in the corner. "Our love is like limestone. Layered, useful for many purposes, shaped by the friends we met along the way." A ring-billed gull with a french fry on a beach. "Our love is like a ring-billed gull. Abundant, found in North America, sometimes sustained by french fries." An Atlantic horseshoe crab walking on the sand. "Our love is like a horseshoe crab. Tough, timeless, unrelated to true crabs." A drawing of the phosphorus cycle, with arrows connecting various parts of a scene, including algae and fish and a farm and a river and a forest. "Our love is like the phosphorus cycle. Important, really hard to draw."

Nature valentines. This comic is now available as a set of 6 Valentines cards: topatoco.com/collections/...

Truly perfection

If I could rip the defensive talking mechanism out of the brains of every writer I have ever worked with I would, and install this operating chip instead ⬇️⬇️⬇️

View of the hockey arena right after the game ended, with the Jumbotron showing “Cyclones win!” The Cincinnati players are all gathering in the middle to celebrate their victory.

The hockey rink has multiple indoor fireworks shooting up from the ground and flames erupting from pyrotechnic devices.

The Cyclones mascot, Twister, is on the ice, staring at some flames from the pyrotechnic device. From the neck down, he looks like a normal hockey player, but his head is some sort of plush tornado monstrosity with crazy eyes.

I didn’t expect to end the year at a hockey game with friends, but honestly, it was pretty great. Cincinnati crushed Indy, the indoor fireworks were actually cool, and the creepy mascot stayed far away from me.

Happy New Year, Bluesky cuties! 🪩✨

I was just talking about this with my therapist. She would like to spend some time as a drop of water in the ocean. I would like to have a go at being a jellyfish before doing the human thing again. (I don’t think that’s how reincarnation is supposed to work, but it was a soothing daydream.)

A sweatshirt featuring illustrations of a slice of Portillo’s chocolate cake and a Portillo’s chocolate cake shake. Text on the sweatshirt reads, “the cake to my shake.”

A hedgehog-shaped mug, filled with hot chocolate and whipped cream. A lit Christmas tree in the background.

merry hot chocolate season ✨

misery loves company, rob
