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.

@ryeisenberg.bsky.social My kids and I made pretzel bites! (Without egg wash because we were lazy)

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.

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you. This wasn't the ABC show. It was an NBC reality show where people got dropped off somewhere in the world blindfolded and had to get to the Statue of Liberty. It premiered the day before the first episode of The Amazing Race. It...lost.

Title card for the TV show Lost (not the drama on ABC, the crappy reality show on NBC)

I got a haircut! (I got them all cut)

Look at that great hair! And the dress is pretty nice too! And you can see the majesty of the back of the head hair in the mirror. Trust me, it's great.

As takes go, it actually could be worse. Here's The Telegraph slippery sloping from the ban.

Headline from The Telegraph of a column by Annabel Denham

"The miserable reality of a plant based society"

Article continues in part

It's worth considering where this logic leads when taken seriously. Suppose we all eat our last juicy steak tonight and from tomorrow switch entirely to kale and nuts. What follows? Livestock farming is axed, replaced by landscapes of solar panels and wind turbines. Food production migrates into controlled environments - hydroponic towers and lab-grown substitutes. Rural life, as it has existed for centuries, is destroyed. Cows and pigs become zoo attractions. Compostable toilets. One shower a week. Rationing of miles driven. Old petrol cars banned. Flights not permitted, except for politicians. Armed guards on the beaches to stop us escaping.

I don't know who needs to see this but it needs to be seen. Discovered at my local library

A picture of the cover of a book entitled "The Yul Brynner Cookbook: Food Fit for the King and You" by Yul Brynner with Susan Reed. The cover also has a picture of Yul Brynner dressed similarly to his character from The King and I

I came across an article by Annabel Denham of The Telegraph claiming that an all vegan diet would doom society. (screenshot below) Which leads me to ask this: Annie, are you OK? Annie, are you OK? Are you OK, Annie?

Screenshot of article text, which reads

Things I saw today at the Bakken Museum gift shop

A coffee mug that changes display when hot water is added. Before, it's a bunch of closed doors. After, it's a bunch of gay people coming out of the closets. It's called Great Gays Out Of The Closet.

A bar of soap with a picture of Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek The Next Generation. The soap is called "Make It Soap" and is Earl Grey scented

I apparently dropped off from taking selfies for a while because this is from a couple years ago. I should get back into doing them. Anyway: it me!

It's me! I'm smiling and wearing a green floral dress.

Thank you! Now this might be my ignorance of earring wearing, but are these also considered French hooks?

I made a quick stop at the Boston Aquarium last night after dinner

This is who runs this account. (In my defense, the photographer told me to open up my eyes wide and have a huge smile)

A picture of me in the 9th grade. With a wide smile showing all my teeth and my eyebrows as high up as they can go, I look insane

I got a haircut today! I think we cut off like an inch and a half? Maybe more? Also apparently my curl pattern has changed from type 3 to type 2 and texture from coarse to fine so basically everything is different now. Yay transition?
