I have my great great great grandfathers diary in my possession - he drew this in 1845. There were no photos so he drew what he saw. I am sharing Henry T Whinfield’s art for the first time ever to the world. This is a world debut.

Twenty years ago today we got married and threw the biggest party with a Mariachi band and Salt Lick bbq. My husband sent these to my work and blew my colleagues’ minds! 💛 (Owly thinks they are for him 😂)

I have my bedroom window open and there is most definitely a skunk in the back yard. Pippa would like me to let her out… to pee… yeah, she just needs to pee… 🙄

I know Choosin’ Texas because two different friends sent me a reel of Leatherface spinning around with his chainsaw w/ that as the soundtrack. It’s a good song! But I prolly wouldn’t have heard it otherwise 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Some friends from Austin are coming to visit next month & I’m delighting them with what to expect: Pippa dog will show off by presenting her cardboard, whole boxes & little teeny pieces she tears off, & Ricky cat will insist on being in the bathroom with them—especially when they’re in the shower 😂

It’s officially the 1st day of fall! Do y’all have any autumnal traditions? Mine are: a rewatch of My So-Called Life; baking apple cidery and pumpkiny things; Shirley Jackson stories; thinking super hard about what to be for Halloween and then not dressing up at all;

One of my favorite things about my dog is how she brings me stuff to look at but won’t let me touch anything. Total take-a-picture-it’ll-last-longer vibes. She just cracks me up all the time.

While walking Pippa this morning we saw a waddling of ducks who live around the corner making their way to our street. We also saw a doe on the other side of our street & she was fascinated by the ducks! They all stared at each other for a bit & then the doe started walking toward the ducks!

I spent so much time in the kitchen this weekend & it was great! I made 4 different soups to freeze for later, hummus, a Greek salad, roasted beets, mushroom stroganoff, veggie enchiladas, Mexican rice, salsa, breakfast tacos, & brownies. My husband made his fab puttanesca. So many future dinners!

SEA voting to authorize a strike is a *major* failure of SPS Superintendent Ben Shuldiner and the seven members of the school board, who have failed at their task of collaborating with the teachers to get a deal done and avoid disruption to students. Here's why I lay the blame at SPS's feet. 1/

I will reiterate: Christians in the West evangelize in public for the same reason men catcall. Neither is trying to persuade you; both are reminding you that the public sphere belongs to them and you exist in it at their sufferance.

My neighbor has been taking Pippa to her house to hang out while I’m at work and yesterday she sent me this pic of her cat Louie and Pips. It makes me think of that Bart Simpson line, “so I says to Mabel, I says…” 😂
