Whaaaat? I know a black dog with a white chest and tippy toes!! She is both Sweet and Spiky. 😂

A young black German Shepherd dog is sitting on a residential porch. She is facing us with a big doggy smile and her head tipped, giving her a happy goofy look. She has a white marking on her chest that is shaped like a cow's face, and white tippy toes on three of her feet.

And yes, if you want to have any understanding of our planet at all, that's absolutely core curriculum.

My Marine Science prof was also a weather nut. We had an afternoon of thunderstorms that semester (very unusual weather setup for SoCal). Next day in class, he was just glowing as he told us all the intricate details that led to the storm event. Like a kid on Christmas morning. Loved every minute!

I used to have a Rottweiler that would chase a ball, sniff a little in the lawn for it, then trot back all "Your ball's over there somewhere." A buddy and I were playing catch. She just flopped down in the middle, laid there watching the ball go back and forth like she was at a tennis match. 😂

Columnar basalt FTW! Chaser just sends it over the top. 😁

I see that you, too, have an indefinable lake of… something… in the corner of the palette. 😂

Cyntada @cyntada.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

That is nothing short of pure glory! 😍

HUGE CONGRATS I am so happy for you! 🤗🤗🤗

Juvenile diabetes used to be a child killer. We can do so much better. All those kids deserved so much better. 💔

That's it! The exact same view! 😍😍😍 Thank you so much for sharing that! Will have to see it again some day.

HOW TO BLUESKY: The news is rough out there, plus the US election is coming. So here are some ways to tame your timeline so you see what you want. 1) You can mute words and phrases! Go to Settings, then Moderation and Content Filters, then Muted Words and Tags. Mute for a short time or forever

Or milestone. Sorry typing faster than thinking again.

HUGE CONGRATS that's quite a milstone!

That was in the 80s when you could still walk right down to the base of the falls. A moment that struck me silent with its raging, glorious power. Not much could hush my cynical 17yo self, but that did. Friends told me they blocked access to the viewing platform later on, re: safety concerns.

I love Ouray! We'd seen the Royal Gorge the day before. The commercialism was disappointing. Mom, Dad and I approached Ouray and there was a little sign for Box Canyon Falls - Dad said WHO WANTS TO GO and spun a hard right onto the turn. High point of the trip for me!

Given we have a potentially historic El Nino on deck, probably warmer than usual, yes. This rain I am currently enjoying with every fiber of my being is an El Nino special delivery. We have had a rapidly growing drought all summer, so these downpours are very welcome provided we don't flood.

I miss living places where fall actually happens. We are due some rain soon, and the heat index *overnight* is 107° per my weather app. It's stupid humid out there. Crisp cold air sounds just amazing right now.

Do as much nothing as you can possibly cram in! WOOOO!

Jennifer needs some help if you are able to donate or share. It's her birthday today and this feels very unfair.

…also, our journey has not been for the faint of heart. She took everything I knew about dog training, tore it up in little pieces, ate those, and challenged me to start again. The rapport we have now took most of our 7 years together to build. She's so worth it! Just… be ready. They deserve that.

I can't possibly emphasize this enough, especially if they're bigger than breed standard (which many are). GSDs are *powerful* dogs that are built to be focused and engaged all day. I love our wild rescue with my whole heart and soul. She is part of me like no dog I've ever known…

What’s a poster you had in your room growing up? Fantasy, horses, and astronomy, all rolled into one! My teen self had this one up for years and took it with me when I moved out.

A photo of a poster, which is a painting by artist Bernie Kite. The painting depicts a winged dapple gray horse, flying majestically through a spectacular red and blue version of the great Orion nebula, M42. Several planets have been added to the scene.

A condition that I welcome! 😃

Creative cannibalism is one of the most essential skills of computer maintenance. 🤣 I have a big ol clicky-clacky Redragon keyboard and have to pop all the keys off once in a while. Still can't get over how much grode gets under those things.

I used to have a Continuous Ink System for my printers and it was GLORIOUS. Cheap ink, no running out, prints looked great - only thing was, I ended up looking like a dye factory exploded if I messed up a refill.

No, I look like that every time I need to ink up a fountain pen.

I would sit there turning a piece in my hands, marveling at the structure, while a parent tells me not to play with my food. 😂

Nature makes math look much more fun than I ever thought it would be!

Thought I needed to teach Swayze that lesson, since she picks her way through her kibble all morning. I let Sasha in the room and suddenly that food vanished. 🤣

I saw "clay colored" and my brain filled in "thrush" - then scrolled down all "no, that would not be right at ALL" 🤣🤣🤣
