Eric the caterpillar is missing. I saw him this morning but I can't find him in the planter anymore. I read online that his species of caterpillar will move very far from their food source when they're ready to enter the chrysalis stage so they're safer from predators. I hope that's what's happened

Meet Eric. Eric is a caterpillar that showed up on our celery plant a couple weeks ago. We are now very devoted to Eric and check on him many times a day. During the storm this weekend we were afraid Eric got smushed but it turns out he was fine. Enjoy this picture of him eating a leaf.

@tkingfisher.com During this year's Romancing The Vote auction, I put up my services of writing a song parody. The winner asked me to write a song about potatoes. A friend suggested you might find my work interesting as well so here is a link to the doc. Enjoy! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Sometimes I wonder if there's still value in being on social media platforms and then I'll have a night like tonight where I was talking bagels and baking and mixers with @mostlybree.kitrocha.com and @ryeisenberg.bsky.social and I'm confident the answer is yes.

I'm at a lodge in Minnesota right now and I just witnessed a bunch of guys dressed like "bros on vacation" following a guy dressed like a priest (black robe with collar) across the main lawn....into the ice cream shop. I am so curious what is going on there

I'm pretty sure the answer to this is "no", but does anyone happen to have a lot of cash lying around they don't know what to do with? An inclusive Jewish org I'm a part of could use a cash infusion so we can guarantee regular services.

This is quite possibly the stupidest thing I've ever made

The scene from X-Men where Storm asks "do you know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning?" And then it's the picture of the Toad with Lightning McQueen from Cars on top of his head.

Well, the auction is over at @romancingthevote.com and my song parody item went for $76. Which is about $66 more than I had expected it to go for. I kinda mentioned this in an earlier post but legitimately, I think this is the first time anyone has paid for a song parody of mine.
