Once nearly voted “Most Likely to Have an Opinion”. Lover of food and books and cute things. Never shuts up about the greatness of public libraries and myofascial therapy balls

Lincoln Park, Seattle WA
A group of old gnarled trees with branches going every which way. The leaves still on the trees are green-yellow, turning to yellow. The ground is a carpet of yellow leaves in all shades. The very foreground shows some of an asphalt path. The sky beyond the trees is blue. The light is beautiful

There’s another one in that series too that I can’t remember the name of. They’re so lovely. We used to take a minute to cuddle & have a poem before school/daycare (and then do more reading at bedtime of other stuff)

There are some really beautiful poem a day books. We had one called Tiger, Tiger Burning Brught that’s an animal poem per day. Some individual faves are Never Seize a Weasel by the Tail by Jack Prelutsky and Eletelephony by Laura Richards. The Quangle-Wangle’s Hat is great as is the Scroobius Pip

I’ve been thinking about you so often, hoping you would get it. This is the most fitting resolution and I’m overjoyed for you.

First time told not to sign any legal documents for X amount of time. We thought it was funny. And then my husband proceeded to laugh about that with me as if it were brand-new multiple times after, thereby showing why the advice was given

Yes, my kid did it! 3 weeks in Edinburgh for story-writing. She didn’t want to do a language learning one. Would recommend! Planning on sending my younger one if there is a program that matches their interests next year

Hydro flask with straw top also great and leak-proof. Zojirushi makes a good one for hot beverages.

Meanwhile I am so proud of my college student who is in a tricky situation of work study that is salaried but the job could take wayyyy more time than the hours they’re paid (min wage). She is refusing to work more than she’s paid for. Advocating for herself IS character building & she’s crushing it

Now can you tell us where you visited? I hope the effects are miraculously long-lasting!

Lovely, lovely evening last night in Seattle. Matt’s in the Market continues to thrive. We had our first date there 20+ years ago in its first iteration
Cobblestone street in the foreground. You can see a bright red neon sign that says PUBLIC MARKET CENTER with an analog clock dial, also in red. There is a smaller red neon sign (in a different font) below on the right that says FARMERS MARKET. To the right of the Public Market Center sign, there is a painted sign on a building the same height as the neon sign. Sign background is a sort of olive green with the text in white MEET THE PRODUCER. The lighting is lovely with sunset starting in the background of the scene. There are people wandering around and some umbrellas with seating underneath

Seeing your thread and then seeing this was really something. His focus is on “artificial” as negative wheras some of us have a bigger problem with “intelligence” bsky.app/profile/jose...

Just remembering the time a former program director told me how proud she was of using “I” statements with her husband. Her example was, “*I* feel that I’m doing everything and *you’re* doing fuck all”

You can’t control their actions after they have this information! If they choose to raise hell to get it resolved earlier, that’s just what happens when people have timely and accurate information

They also complained about the park near their house because the sounds of children playing were so loud…. It’s no wonder they live in an age-restricted community now…

Mine had an air rifle propped up next to the screen door (they really don’t like pigeons cooing gently on their roof) and bug spray within easy reach…. My kids love(d) bugs and were horrified

Mmmmmmmmm. The Kitchn had a really good “almond croissant cookie bar” recipe or something like that. Utterly delicious and pretty easy.

I’m thinking Catherine Moreland is another such. Even though she’s naive, I find her less of a drip than Fanny Price.

Or even write an email to the person expressing the fullness of your feelings, what you wish you could say to them, untempered by manners or conventions or their side of things. Then don’t send it (I never even put anyone in the To line so I can’t make a mistake). That + exercise/movement might ease

I, just, *carob* prize? As someone growing up in the 80s with a health nut parent, carob is the abomination we were given in our Easter baskets instead of chocolate because it was supposed to be healthier. It was waxy sadness masquerading as chocolate. A carob prize, to me, shouts its falsity

Toto, we are not in Seattle anymore
Grocery store deli fridge with containers of dips and shrink wrapped cheese trays and the like. The middle shelf is 3/4 full of molded gelatin “salad” rings, some multi-colored and creamy, some single color. This is a foodstuff that is not widely-enough consumed in the PNW to warrant retail space like this

I can get to First Hill faster than my kid can get to high school in West Seattle

High school is 3.4 miles from us. SPS outsources busing to the city bus. HS neighborhood is very underserved. Student has to walk out the door 1 hour before school to guarantee on-time arrival. But today, the one direct early trip was cancelled. Transfer req with high risk buses will be too full.

Thankfully I was correct about Some Kind of Wonderful being the least problematic Brat Pack film. Though I did have a heart attack realizing it’s nearly 40 years old. The teens approved!

I think this table got a few extra legs…
Square wooden table in a barn with sawdust and goat poop on the floor. Everything is in shades of brown and cream. Under the table, barely visible, is a red-brown goat, hiding in shadow. all you can see are its two front legs, really.

Emma hater here but happy to ride along with you and plenty love it. For my money, Juliet Stevenson is the best narrator possible. She’s done all the Austens. Just be sure you find the unabridged version. I got trapped into an abridged that didn’t announce itself. I wondered why nothing made sense
