Just fyi. There’s a bad strand of covid going around. My coworkers kids class has all tested positive for covid now. But no one is quarantining or even wearing masks, not even the teacher. They’re all just going about like normal and treating it like a cold 😩😩😩

Wylde Flowers! That would be a dream come true. I could have a lovely little farm, learn magic, and marry a sweet werewolf man. I would live there forever 😆🙌💕

Tired, post-work doodle. But I was thinking, if I was on Berk, what kind of Viking would I be? And I definitely think I’d be a bread making Viking 😆🙌 And I would use Scauldron steam to make a dragon-dutch oven so the bread is nice and crispy on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside 😊✨

Just a thought about produce. The rich folks have to be getting their food from somewhere, and you know they’re eating safe, healthy foods. So what if we find out where they’re getting their food from and buy it all, so then they have to deal with shortages and will produce more healthy foods?

Just fyi for anyone who sells on FB Marketplace, Insta is now showing marketplace ads that share your full real name and the city/state that you live in. I don’t have FB and nothing on my insta is connected to FB, but I’m still able to see this. Just fyi in case you want your info to be private!

Does anyone have any experience with looms and weaving? I’ve been really curious to try weaving my own textiles. But tabletop looms are so expensive and I have no clue which kind to get 😅 What’s a good beginner loom that I can try out and at least make decent basic kitchen towels on?

When I went to Berk, I kept running into a Viking named Legburn and we basically became besties! She mentioned that she had tamed a dragon that “not even Hiccup had seen before” and that it was about the size of a goose. So I made drew her and what I think her “dragon” looks like 😆💕

Today I learned that you can make fresh butter by just shaking a jar of heavy whipping cream for 5 minutes! And you get fresh buttermilk from it which I then used to make some homemade buttermilk ranch! I’m so excited! 🤩🙌💕

Flower folks, I have another question. My hibiscus has sprouted this other flower that’s almost like a carnation. It’s on the same stem and same plant as my hibiscus flowers and nothing looks different about the area it sprouted from. So what the heck is happening? Did my plant mutate?? 😆

Californians! Social media is full of the idea that waiting until the last minute to vote in California's election is strategic. But not if you're voting by mail. Attorney General Rob Bonta warns voters to mail ballots at least a week ahead of the June 2 election.

Election officials urge early mail-in voting, warn about 'misinformation'

State elections officials warned voters Tuesday to send their mail-in ballots in early after changes at the U.S. Postal Service that have led to slower mail service throughout California.

I wish people would focus more on experiences rather than instant gratification.

Just a friendly reminder that 90% of what you see online is a fake or glamorized version of reality. I’ve been watching a fitness influencer “jog” the same 20ft of sidewalk outside my apartment more than 6x now, trying to get a good shot of him “running” in his clearly-never-used running attire. 😑

Lately I’ve been cooking, baking, and gardening more to try and give myself better food options, since everything from the store tastes like crap these days Sunday, I made my own buttermilk which then became buttermilk ranch, chicken curry using a fresh onion I harvested, and a loaf of bread! 🙌💕

Literally all I want to do is sit at home and make art. Not have to worry about making money. Or how to afford rent and food. Just make cute things without a care in the world. I’d even be willing to work at a job 2-3 days a week if I could afford basics with it. Is that too much to ask 😭😭😭

If you want new, unique media that’s not remakes or the same old cookie cutter stuff, you NEED to support indie artists. If you only support big studios, you will keep getting the same thing over and over, because they’re making money off it and that’s all they care about.
