It may not feel like fall yet, but my apple cider scented candle helps. I'm looking forward to cooler weather soon. 🤞

Bought these for a friend. I couldn't resist.

A pair of handmade earrings by Rhapsody & Co. of Duluth, GA, USA. The earrings have an illustration of Jesus poking his head around a corner and the words "Is that smut?"

@leannareneehieber.bsky.social @pseudopodalex.bsky.social and I are watching the awards. I told him "she looks great in that tiara, more people should wear tiaras" and he said I should tell you. 😉

Downward ‘possum might not be a traditional yoga pose but Shadow, Twig and Flapjack are trying to change that.

The banner image on my profile is the woods where I grew up. It makes me smile every time I look at the photo. I love where I live now, but I will never not miss where I grew up. My only regret about moving away is that we don't have teleporters yet,

Folks, this is a usability game-changer. Turn it on! In your settings -> Thread Preferences. Turns the threading of post replies into a reddit-like structure instead of twitter-like. *SO* much easier to navigate and read without having to backtrack and re-click replies to unlock threads.

I use a cane to get around sometimes these days. Instead of saying I've developed mobility issues, I prefer to think I'm just maturing into my wizard form.

A dilemma. My windows are open to enjoy the slight breeze. But somebody just started up a fire pit. I love campfires! Buuuuut not in my house, lingering 6+ hours later... But I'm also lazy, and I've got a lotta windows, and half the household is asleep already. Hrm.

Looking for opinions on subscribing to CMOS versus owning a hard copy (my current situation). Theoretically, an 18th edition should come out in the next year or two. But maybe it's time I fully embrace the digital life. Or not. That's why I'm asking. Are the forums useful, for example?

Heads up, Bluesky has a new update that automatically toggles off all "adult content," forcing you to re-enable it to see anything. Probably just an oversight, still annoying as hell. Check your content filtering in the moderation settings!

I'm working on a giant to-do list. Currently I have it organized by category as well as short-, medium-, and long-term goals. It's the only way I can keep a handle on things. I feel like I'm behind on EVERYTHING. Now if only I could create a to-do list that my husband would pay attention to. Heh.

Hi friends! I'm slowly acquainting myself with Bluesky. I've always been a bit more of a lurker on some platforms than others. But I assure you, it's actually me. P.S. If there's a better way to find my friends than slowly combing through the site by hand during my lunch breaks, please let me know.
