Just started actual training for my March marathon. 6.5 miles, and a hojicha einspanner to celebrate. I always do a before and after photo shoot. My weight isn't an issue, but my SHAPE always changes dramatically while in training, and I like to see the difference. (not bad for 52 with 2 kids!)

Side view of a middle aged woman wearing a black sports bra and lavender boxer briefs. She has a slight somach pooch but her age shows more in her neck than in her body. She also needs to redo her hair dye, which is a faded blue over blond highlights, with dark roots.

Same as the previous photo but a front view. If you squint really hard you MIGHT see an ab or two.

A tired looking woman in a blue tank, purple arm gaiters, and a United States of Smash shirt smiles into the camera, holding a delicious looking drink.

In the same way that the invention of photography incentived the development of abstract art, the silver lining to this immense dark cloud is that a type of "dirty" art will be incentivized. One that revels in ugliness and the vulnerability of human error. The end of auto-tune.

I'm extremely susceptible to bribes. Even if I'm bribing myself. Sooooooo...I just ordered a box of these assholes. They'll live with my husband until I 'earn' them (work on a project I'm having trouble starting). Hopefully it won't be a repeat of the gachapon 'oops, all Endeavors' fiasco.

Picture depicts eight (seven, really) stupidly cute cats designed after the My Hero Academia characters Deku, Shoto, Eraserhead, Present Mic, (not you, Endeavor), Hawks, Mirko, and Dabi. The poster will absolutely make some of them kiss (NOT YOU, ENDEAVOR)

I was finally able to pick up my prize from the West Central Illinois Quilt Shop Hop. Now if I could only get my new sewing machine up and running...

An arranged variety of quilting supplies, including a purple rolling tote, two packages of pastel fabrics, batting, thread, and square templates. Someday the components might come together to make a small quilt or table runner.

New tank top! Perfect timing because it's hot as balls and we don't have AC. I'd be living naked if we didn't have (very pointy) cats.

Pigeon and Goose. This is around two weeks after the two were introduced. They never so much as hissed at each other, and were snuggling nearby after a couple days. And now... They are just the Bestest Boys. I'm so glad my niece adopted Goose!

I've been more or less keeping up with my running while helping my mom out, other than the entire week where it was either raining or 100+ degrees. This was my first run long enough to get to a good coffee shop. Half sweet almond milk cafe miel.

Ace (Now Goose) has arrived in Illinois! He was a fantastic traveler. The big guy is his new brother, Pigeon. No one consulted Pigeon about getting a little brother.

A smol 12 week old tuxedo kitten tries out a fleecy gray and white bed. It absolutely dwarfs him.

A lorg tuxedo cat curls up in a cozy white and gray bed. Unlike his tiny little brother he fills up the ENTIRE bed. With no room. Especially not room for upstart little kittens.

Yes, it's the zeroth rule of writing advice: if advice works for you, then it's good advice for you, but if advice doesn't work for you, then it's bad advice for you. Sounds like a tautology, but people will fight you to the death on Reddit if you reject one of their unbreakable rules.

Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

My mom just fell and broke her hip. She's got a good prognosis; even though she's in her mid 70s she is expected to make a full recovery. I'm relieved at that, since I know it's not guaranteed. But I'm also not okay. That's MY MOM. She really is one of my best friends. And I'm half a continent away.

Show me a comic page you love; no explanation needed.

A six panel comic. Only the first panel really matters. it's one of the best panels in comic history. A wooden door disintigrates in an explosion, with the sound effect "BaTHROOM"
After than an alien creature walks out, and is accosted by Kitty Pride, who complains that the only toilet in seventeen miles has been destroyed. It is a legitimate complaint.

Cue Shirley Jackson's epic response to a person who was under the mistaken impression that informing a writer that you don't approve of their work/conduct/ideas/etc. will somehow shame/inspire them to change everything about themselves just to please a random idiot.

Photograph of a letter. Text reads:
"North Bennington
Vermont
July 24

Dear Mrs. White,

If you don’t like my peaches, don’t shake my tree.

Sincerely,
Shirley Jackson"
