I worked in a medical clinic, so I had the doc check it out. He spent an hour picking splinters out of my foot. He stopped counting at 100. After that, I always wore shoes.

We had a chestnut tree in our yard until just a few years ago. Beautiful tree, perfect for climbing, the kids loved it. Never, never, never step on one of those chestnut husks while barefoot - especially after they dry and turn brown. Ask me how I know.

So true! And when your blanket is finished, you've got cat hair crocheted right into it.

Today’s Canadian painting is “Mother and Child” painted by Norval Morrisseau in 2005. This is Truth and Rconciliation Day in Canada, a day to remember the harms done to Canada’s first peoples.

I love that you found that! I got this one around 25 years ago at a flea market in Sedan, KS. I've seen other cat-handle creamers, but never with the iridescent glaze.

A 4" long garden spider has made her web on the outside wall of our carport. I am deathly afraid of spiders. I call her Mathilda, Queen of the Nopes, and I give her a very wide berth.
A large garden spider sits upon her web, suspended between the roof and the top of the fence that makes up the outside wall of our carport. The fence is painted white. Blue sky and green trees can be seen in the background.

I bought this prayer candle several years ago to cheer myself up on a crappy day. I lit it for the first time today. I've had a giant crush on Tim Curry since the 70s. I'm sad he's gone, but grateful we all have so much of his outstanding work to watch whenever we need to.
A tall, slender glass prayer candle with a photo of Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-N-Furter wearing robes and a sacred heart top. The candle is lit.

Thank you for founding the Imagination Library and touching & enriching the lives of millions of children around the world. And thank you for your wonderful songs...we will always love you. Goodnight and godspeed, Dolly Parton. 🕯️

Her signature long, voluminous platinum-blonde hair cascades over her shoulders as she looks downward with a gentle, closed-eye smile, exuding warmth and emotion.

On this day in 1920, TN provided the last vote required ratify the 19th Amendment and prohibit sex-based disenfranchisement. The 19th A. wasn’t a gift men gave women. It was a battle that took women generations to win. Even then, many women, esp. women of color, were still denied the vote. #WeTheMen

Sitting here on the couch this evening, I heard fireworks outside. For just a second, I had high hopes there might actually be something worth celebrating. Alas, it's just the weirdos at the church up the road. Still, one day it'll be true, and we will ALL celebrate. 🥳

In November, Missourians will be asked to decide the fate of abortion rights in the state. Republican lawmakers are trying to hoodwink voters into repealing the reproductive rights amendment we just approved in 2024. They want to reinstate a near-total ban on abortion. Again. NO on Amendment 3.

I have never interacted with this account other than to block it. (Bluesky allows blocked accounts to harass users by adding them to custom feeds.) This is the primary reason I stopped using my real name on here. Men like this just aren't happy unless they can victimize others.
Screenshot of listifications notice showing a bsky user named "thebetterjd" has added me to 4 custom feed lists, including "Instigators of the Holocaust," "Sexual Predators," "Go Fuck Yourself," and "MAGA/Bigot Blocklist."

Dogma came out in 1999, and we bought the tape as soon as it was available. My younger son, who was 13 at the time, told me he wanted to grow up to be Kevin Smith. I agreed that was a worthy goal.
