Dr. Jess Hebert @jesshebert.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Sis and I took two of the wee sprogs to see the touring Bluey play tonight! Puppetry was amazing, set and musical design were really cool. It was REALLY SHORT (40 minutes), so if it's your little kid's first play, good for attention spans, but your $/min ratio is VERY high. 0130
Dr. Jess Hebert @jesshebert.bsky.social · 12/10/2026In case you were wondering what I was making in that giant pot yesterday, it was QUINCE BUTTER! Like apple butter (no real butter involved), just a sweet, warm spice smooth spread. The quince start pale yellow like pears, but cooking turns them a beautiful deep rose color. DELICIOUS. 1200
Dr. Jess Hebert @jesshebert.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Those are quince, and as they cook, they turn beautifully deep rose and get sweet. They are hard and astringent raw, so you have to cook them. I made quince butter, like apple butter! 010
Dr. Jess Hebert @jesshebert.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I canned quinces from my own tree They're so pink and smell pretty! (I'm actually really proud, only took 10 years to figure out it was quince and not Terrible Pear and then what to do with them, again, some sort of metaphor for life) 1100
Dr. Jess Hebert @jesshebert.bsky.social · 04/10/2026So any offers you've got for Subie Doo, hit me up. I'm going to an old abandoned K-Mart to find new pants for my noodle-legged son. (It's a kids' consignment sale, but it's fun to say THE OOOOOLD ABANDONED K-MART #Subaru #SubieDoo 060
Dr. Jess Hebert @jesshebert.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Lots more pictures available. Car is in SE PDX. If you are interested: I'm listing it on sites for $2500, but if you're here following me, I'd love to negotiate a price that gets it home with you and helps us with our emergency dishwasher replacement. 140
Dr. Jess Hebert @jesshebert.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It gets about 20-25 mpg, which is as it was designed, gas is just expensive, which is why I just bought a used EV. That's about it. It was the perfect car for when I was in grad school, to haul around my keyboard and PDXBs gear, and safe enough to protect my young son, but it's time. 140
Dr. Jess Hebert @jesshebert.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Subie is a 2004 Subaru Forester XS with 223K miles. Bought in 2016 with 176K miles. Clean title, no accidents before or since. Passed DEQ again this spring. Is currently running just fine, I ran errands around town in it yesterday with Huddy and took it for a nice wash and vacuum. Behold his nap. 140
Dr. Jess Hebert @jesshebert.bsky.social · 04/10/2026The time has come to sell Subie Doo, my 2004 Subaru Forester XS. Bought in 2016 while I was in grad school, it has been an excellent car to get around the PNW for school, work, band stuff, and safely hauling my young son. We recently purchased a (Subaru!) EV, so are you Subie's next home? 4171
Dr. Jess Hebert @jesshebert.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I said it like John Oliver in my head, when he calls whoever owns HBO that week "Business Daddy." 010
Dr. Jess Hebert @jesshebert.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Took a quick sister lunch trip to Woodburn this week to celebrate my sister's new job and get her a fancy new purse at outlet prices. I'm hopeful that her new job gives her a lot more joy and time to breathe! 0150

Dr. Jess Hebert @jesshebert.bsky.social · 17/08/2026We had a WONDERFUL time at a private gig yesterday for the American Association for Nude Recreation @aanr-social.bsky.social! Gorgeous site, friendly and kind folks, 3 hours of nerdy music. Truly a unique gig and we had a blast. We witnessed nude cart joust which ruled! @pdxbroadsides.bsky.social 3151
Dr. Jess Hebert @jesshebert.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Took my mother and sister to wine tasting for my mother's 70th and Evoke is doing cheeky loofah code, so I guess this is how I come out now #visibleonedayayear #maybe2now 2110

Dr. Jess Hebert @jesshebert.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Which was apparently too on the nose. But if you want the vibe of Welcome to Night Vale, this song is a great place to start! :D 091
Dr. Jess Hebert @jesshebert.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Saying goodbye to Miss Abigail, the very best tank of a dog. We're sitting with her, offering love and chicken and pets and happy sounds. Light a candle for this good girl tomorrow. ❤️ 3210
Dr. Jess Hebert @jesshebert.bsky.social · 27/07/2026I got stories. One more flight to go home. Love this kid so much. A flight attendant asked if she had the honor of having Dr. Venkman on her flight today as Huds boarded in his Ghostbusters hoodie 🤣 0140
Dr. Jess Hebert @jesshebert.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Huddy's 2nd flight and he's first class. Bougie baby. 1130

Dr. Jess Hebert @jesshebert.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Apparently a fan at the Belgian F1 race thinks Fernando Alonzo is Jesus. Or at least a saint. Poor guy is getting outrun by everyone but his teammate, so maybe Patron Saint of Pit Lane Starts. #formula1 000
