49% Christmas, 51% vampire.

A close up of my left hand showing my nails painted red. There’s a more red stripe through the middle of each nail, and darker to either side.

✅ Minimalist holiday decor 🎅🏼🎄⭐️

The festive corner of my living room -- a small (faux) pre-lit tree, with ornaments accumulated over the years, a white blanket with geometric green christmas trees and red shapes, and two stuffies (a little Santa and a little smiling dog with a santa hat). The room is warm, lit by the Christmas tree lights.

A house front porch, with icicle lights along the roofline, a basic wreath on the door, and our friendly neighborhood porch skeleton Rusty, now donning a green Santa hat.

In this house we love Peter

That ✨ fresh cast on feeling ✨

A new cast on knitting project, just one setup row complete. It’s sitting on top of the mini bundle yarn for the rest of the project — a bundle I couldn’t resist from Purl Soho.

The Wheel of time turns, and the reread begins again. ✅ The Eye of The World

The cover of The Eye of the World, the first book in the Wheel of Time series, on my Kindle. A lofi channel is on my tv in the background.

I was influenced, and I have no regrets.

My kindle, held up by a tablet holder, displaying the first page of chapter one of the second book in the Wheel of Time series. I’m also holding a clicker that turns the page wirelessly.

Hadn't seen one of these before.

TIL Bluesky has a "logged-out visibility" setting (for Bluesky proper at least).

A screenshot of the Bluesky Settings > Privacy area with a setting for "Logged-out visibility" toggle, which discourages apps from showing you account to logged-out users. This setting is limited to the Bluesky app and website, other apps may not respect this setting.

Good morning, starshine. Riggins says hello.

My dog Riggins, a large lab mix, looking down at me. He takes up most of the photo and his head looks overly huge due to the perspective.

These two nerds got married last week ❤️

Me and my spouse (!!) standing at the base of the steps outside the Travis County Courthouse. He’s wearing a blue jacket, button down and jeans, I’m wearing a red silk dress. We’re holding hands, he’s smiling big at me and I’ve got my other hand in my dress pocket (yes dress pocket!) and am laughing about something.

This is my go-to stack of feeds rn. I love Quiet Posters to see posts I otherwise might miss from folks who post less frequently. I love The ‘Gram for an unpolished IG-ish experience.

A screenshot of my most used feeds. In order: “Mutuals, OnlyPosts, Quiet Posters, Only Replies, The ‘Gram”

Close up on the buddies.

The buddies on my desk: two rubber ducks, a ceramic turtle, a ceramic mushroom, and an anthropomorphic poo character.

Post your work workstation setup.

My work station: A white desk with a Logitech ergonomic keyboard, my laptop, one display on either side, a Rubik’s cube, timer, tardis mug of pens, candle, fan, and little work buddies (rubber ducks, ceramic mushroom and turtle, and smiley poo character).

Something creative that brings me joy - this incredible piece created by my great grandparents. The wood work done by my great grandfather, the rock collage art done by my great grandmother.

A hanging vertically oriented art piece. The frame and background wood, and collaged rocks are arranged in the wood cutout areas to form an image of birds and plants. The color palette is very neutral — black, brown and white.

“based on what you know about me. draw a picture of what you think my current life looks like” It’s the number of todo lists and balls of yarn for me.

ChatGPT generated illustration of what it thinks my life looks like. An illustrated woman is sitting facing away, looking at a computer with a window behind it. The rest of the room is an office, with two dogs, lots of books and yarn, coffee, and several todo lists on the wall.

Thanks! I so wish I had done when they were younger. Riggins’ litter was born at the rescue and they had a donated photo session before they were put up for adoption and it’s the cutest.

Riggins as a baby puppy. His little paws are up on some pumpkins.

Long-time Fitbit user, just went Garmin. Let me just say, Garmin is that girl.

My new Garmin, a Venu 3S, shown close up on my wrist. It has a minimalist clock face with a digital analog clock, and shows steps, heart rate, weather, and date.
