"You fucking WHAT, Carol? You thought it'd be FINE? You know Dolly & I only eat CARAMEL apples. Is this a CARAMEL apple, Carol? NO! You tell me what this is!" #ErynThrifts

A 1940s Little Golden Book of Walt Disney's Pollyanna. Blonde Pollyanna is in a sailor girl's dress & holding a doll, while holding a candied apple like a stick grenade. In front of her are candied apples, red spiral lollipops & watermelon wedges. Her expression is FREAKING INTENSE & staring way too hard at the viewer.

This is so apt. "It strips the woman's work & voice from the free blog post so you can just consume what you want. Yay!" Tip: Almost every recipe blog has a "skip to recipe" button at the top so you can still ignore her while giving her a pittance of ad revenue.

Excellent birthday 🥰 Breakfast from my favorite diner, then a day trip to the beach with my husband. Picked up Thai from a place I've always wanted to try & got an extra order of crab rangoon to eat on the way home. Car crab rangoon! & a DQ ice cream cake awaits!

Photo at the beach. The camera is tilted so the horizon is at a diagonal. The sun, a reflection of the sun & a whole sand dollar make a tilted line perpendicular to the horizon

Promised a friend I would come to the wizard/fantasy event they're vending at & it turns out it's Harry Potter themed. And you have to pay to get in. That's a no. This person doesn't know it's HP themed or that it costs to get in because they are filling the table for a friend & I feel bad but no.

The drive that normally takes 30 minutes has taken an hour & 20 minutes because of all the downed trees Saw an electric fence on fire, so the entire property was ringed by smoke. Never seen anything like it

Working on a gift in the pottery studio that may be the best thing I've ever made. I'm so excited to get to show it to everybody after it's given to the recipients. I want to share progress pics sooo badly. I don't know how artists who take commissions do it!

I've been cleaning the upstairs "room" (it's just a space... With carpet...) & I found two Netflix dvds. Sorry, Netflix. They did not get lost in the mail. Sorry everybody else, I am obviously why they've been raising the streaming costs constantly. 😞

I regret to inform everybody that my pottery studio nemesis is actually super pleasant now & stopped making "funny" (deprecating) Boomer comments about my art. I'll be holding interviews for a new nemesis to fill the vacancy. I still have my Goodwill nemesis, so it's not a total void.

My dad was also a 50+ year union member & taught me union participation & growth is for our communities, not just our coworkers. The organizing you can do in a workers union extends beyond your workplace.

My 50 year Little League volunteer dad, who retired as administrator for half of our state, would cry broken-hearted tears at some of these comments In 2001 in our small farm town, he allowed a child named Ash to play on a boys' team & keep their birth certificate private between the parents & Dad

In Sept, I get killer coupons & freebies from Bath & Body Works, so I go to the outlet & knock out Christmas presents These are the most disgusting man-made scents I've ever smelled in my life The pizza one smells like arcade floor vomit on a hot BO day & the other smells like vomit & corn meal

Jarred candles on a shelf at Bath & Body Works. One is pizza & ranch with a cartoon pizza slice & cup of ranch & the other is cups & salsa with cute cartoon characters too. They are deceptively cute & inside lurks true horrors.

I found a $100 bill by a car at the outlet mall! Excitement! I told my kid "We're gonna check one store" & I asked every customer in the Bath & Body Works if they drive a black Acura. Not gonna lie, I was hoping the last girl we asked was going to say no lol There's today's good deed 💃

I like city water & sewer & not having to poop outside & dig a new outhouse hole when one fills up The freedom of not having to can food for days & days in the heat of summer to keep my family from starving? Chef's kiss Also my machines for dishes & laundry. Drudgery? Try living rural w/o a car.

Lost our little hen in the night. I'm a "Proper burial even for chickens" person, so my husband gave her a nice little place back by the raspberries. Thanks for being sweet to me yesterday about being sad about her. Y'all are good eggs.

One time I dated a bat expert who worked at a bat hotline where 95% of her job was telling people not to touch bats because it’ll bite you and you’ll have to get a rabies shot. The last time I saw her she’d taken a bat home from work and took it to the pub in a cardboard box.

This has been linked repeatedly to a rando starting an Internet rumor. The Teamsters & the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association have stated they have no knowledge of this strike & the original poster will not respond to media. We will support them if they strike, but this is a rumor.

She would be amazed! She would be proud & comforted that this is where that young mom is today. She'd be happy to know she got out of her home town, that she's surrounded by love & kitties, that she's kind & still furious about injustice & cruelty.

My kid also repaired an issue with the lint trap on our dryer where it wasn't seating correctly & it was grabbing things & ruining them. I lost a camisole & their favorite work scrubs were ruined. They cleaned out all the hidden lint while they were at it, so we know @cpsc.gov would be proud of us.

I didn't call it quits & now my back is in spasms. Ordering pizza so I can hopefully still do a full day in the pottery studio tomorrow. Organized the entire can & dry goods pantries & put away groceries. Did a load of towels. Decluttered a moving box of books & one of vintage glassware. Showered.

Keeping a well stocked pantry & kitchen to insulate your family from the whims of a bumbling fascist administration does not jive with a galley kitchen. Just constant work.

Decluttered the lazy susan in the kitchen & there were only 2 little things stuck behind it! Decluttered an additional area that's been stressing me out. Just have to ignore the area that got a little worse 🙃 hopefully it's a very short term worsening, but I'm calling it quits for today.

A flock of geese in shallow water at sunset. The water reflects pink below and orange above and the silhouettes are black and dark blue, making a very vibrant photo.
