I just bought tickets for the tour and to see Shatner there in November. My spouse acted as if I had kept a secret from him because I knew Trekonderoga existed and he didn't, so I'm atoning for something I didn't do. lol

I'm not a great photographer; I just have a pup that throws looks like a supermodel. #dogs #dogsofbluesky

Why the heck do posts from some people I follow only appear under Discover, not Following? Dammit, I'm missing the snark, bird photos, random kvetching, and sarcasm I signed up for!

Monday again, eh? Meh, could be worse.

A Highland cow gazes balefully into the camera. She is standing in a green meadow, with blue chicory flowers in the foreground and hills and trees in the background.

The neighborhood deer are clearly terrified as I walk my killer chiweenie nearby.

A young doe nibbles on fallen branches under an old tree. A white fence is in the background, and she stands on a lawn bordered by a curb. She is completely uninterested in my dog or me.

Paddled the Winooski today and saw 10x as many painted turtles as people. Satisfactory!

I have to go to an optometrist appointment; it just started pouring, and I'll most likely have to parallel park on a downtown street, which I find stressful in perfect weather and no traffic. It's not a lot to complain about, but it's what I've got.

So much yelling at the TV. "Vermont can't win on the road." Excuse me? Half the season and the Laredo games?? "VGFC is all offense and no D." Um... undefeated, 1 goal against in the playoffs until the final. Lexi, Tanner, and the other dude have a good slap coming.

7-1 at the 88th minute. Really punishing the Heat for daring to score against our Boys.

What was that again? Oh right. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!! 5-1 at the 72nd minute. Vermont is on fire (your defense is terrified)!

I think we're required to score 5 to maintain the now-customary 4-goal differential.

Don't worry. If -- sorry, WHEN -- the Green score again, the stream will go black, and we'll get to imagine the rest.

And now, during halftime, the on-screen banner misidentifies the Green as "Ft Lauderdale United". FFS, USL2.

kristenacity @kristenacity.com · 27/07/2026

Not only is the Sports Engine Play stream absurdly bad, but when it actually works, we get Laredo's hometown, biased announcer calling a national semifinal game. He's very good, but the bias is Not Cool. Then again, the stream is usually glitching, so we can't hear him. Anyway... Up the Green!

kristenacity @kristenacity.com · 20/07/2026

A million times more enjoyable match. Up the Green.

I'd agree... if you mean South Burlington, Ontario, or somewhere else far, far from here. This proposal is so ridiculous that it seems like ragebait. What does he REALLY want that will seem almost reasonable after this nonsense is shut down?

I'm so excited that the World Cup is starting. I'm furious, disgusted, and embarrassed by how my country's current administration is... well, everything. Not only how they're handling the World Cup. That's just one of the clearly visible criminal, racist, and classist schemes they're perpetrating.

I'm painting my hallway today, a task that always brings me closer to prior residents. I recognize scuffs from bicycle tires, bashed corners from furniture moves. I find a painted-over heart drawn low on one wall... a child? Maybe the same one who left countless tire marks on the hardwood floors.

We got non-package mail for the first time in over a month yesterday, cramming the mailbox full with flyers for long-finished sales and the rare important items that don't have digital delivery options.

The frustration of the Albany Rush keeper was palpable as the 7th goal went past him into the net. @vermontgreenfc.bsky.social won the match 9-0. A fine first home game of the season, with perfect weather.

Near sunset, one end of a soccer field with trees, mountains, and a college building in the background. On the field, the Vermont Green players are beginning to celebrate as the Albany Rush players mill around. The Albany goalkeeper, in bright orange. lies frustrated on his back. There is a soccer ball in the net, and the barely legible scoreboard shows the game as 6-0 in the 60th minute of play.

Wonderful neighborliness, and with a reward to boot. Bravo! Whenever I try to lift something substantial, my husband tells me, "I haul things!" and threatens to inform the union if I don't let him do it. The husbands' union, local 802, I suppose.

When I doomscroll before the rest of the US is awake, I can excuse the activity as French, German, Spanish, and Italian practice. To say nothing of learning new phrases from the UK.

I've had complicated feelings about prior World Cups in authoritarian countries, but it's heartbreaking that we're taking the top spot in all the wrong areas.

Reading a Vermont-set mystery novel that isn't very good, but when characters traveled from beyond Vergennes to an appointment in Burlington in 20 minutes, by car, I raged. Don't get me started on BPD having jurisdiction over a murder in Addison County. UGH. Now I'm just hate-reading.

"in the street of money in the city of money in the country of money, our great country of money, we (forgive us) lived happily during the war." - Ilya Kaminsky

We Lived Happily during the War

And when they bombed other people's houses, we

protested but not enough, we opposed them but not

enough. I was in my bed, around my bed America

was falling: invisible house by invisible house by invisible house-

I took a chair outside and watched the sun.

In the sixth month of a disastrous reign in the house of money

in the street of money in the city of money in the country of money, our great country of money, we (forgive us)

lived happily during the war.

My husband grounded me from pub trivia today. Sure, it's for my own good (back injury vs. hours on a thinly padded metal chair), and he'll miss trivia, too, and I love him for it, but I'll still pout a little.
