You can’t possibly be annoyed at my 3D printed little frenz.

Joining the rebellion (here in America getting an EV that is not a Tesla is becoming kind of subversive). 🍃❤️

I don't even try. If there is a tight parallel parking spot I simply drive by and park 2 miles away, I don't care. I can't be awesome at everything 😎😂

In 2026 I have borrowed dozens of books and movies from my local library. Thanks to my library card, I have discovered new authors and books I loved. It would have been impossible if I had to buy them. My latest read (I am halfway through it and is AMAZING. Highly recommended). I ❤️my local library.
Cover and f the book Rhe Historian, by Elizabeth Kostova.

For the kind of money spent on subscriptions, I am just getting stuff from eBay and putting it in this little cutie I got for $50. It works much better bc no ads, no bs playlist from random stuff and full ownership of what I am paying for.
Small mp3 player to give a middle finger to subscription services

The top of my dracaena plant fell down for no reason. When I looked inside the trunk, there was a bug buzzing that barely fit there 😱😱😱 It was the weirdest 80s witchcraft satan movie I’ve seen in real life (like the spider crawling out of the cheek in “the believers”). 😱😱

My local library keeping me sane in these horrible times. Listening to The Exorcist narrated by the author. This is SO GOOD!

This is from the Kenner, LA Police Chief. Note the language: he didn’t say “undocumented” or “Illegals”, he said “Hispanics” and immediately linked it to gang activity. This is what people voted for. The brutal and lawless raids and detentions are the reason people still approve his job.

A short walk by Audubon Park (by the Fly) and saw these bones and some skin. Bones size of a medium-large dog. Alligator?? WTF?! Now I want to know the whole story behind this.

I am flipping through pages of a short stories book I borrowed from the library to find the page I am at in this story when I saw this note at the end of the story I am reading. Seriously?? Previous patron ruined whatever surprise or thrill I was supposed to experience.

The Fleabag saga continues. She has 4 kids, not 3. They were fine until recently I noticed 1 of them was walking disoriented. Like she has a neurological condition. Of course, I can’t use the coyote pee now bc I don’t have the heart to evict them now. I’m a softie. @zoonotic1.bsky.social

You guys can have “fun” watching the POS talk. I can’t stomach his voice. Instead, I’ll try to do something fun and come back later for your analysis.

Kiddo is *really* into 747 and pilots (no idea why is this specific model), so we 3D printed one for her, laser cut stencils for the labels on the body and logo on the tail and she spray painted it. Next project, an airbus model.

Hey #nolasky, where can I get yucca plants? I see then everywhere in the Bywater and Mid City but can't find them in nurseries. I want to plant some in my front porch.
