Flowers Georg @pantalonesfuego.bsky.social · 15hIt's wild to me how much has changed since I was a kid regarding big name celebrities shilling for products and doing commercials. Sure, they used to do them in other countries but not the US! Now whenever I see one I just think "John Cena* likes money." *Or whomever 3150

Flowers Georg @pantalonesfuego.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I'm convinced it's my own hubris that caused this terrible heat. I didn't knit any pumpkins this year in September because it was so delightfully temperate early in the month. 170

Flowers Georg @pantalonesfuego.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I'm complaining a lot about this heat wave but it isn't completely unprecedented. The year F was born, it was in the 90s when we brought him home (in late October) and it was so hot his first week that he basically only wore a diaper and had outgrown the newborn clothes by the time it cooled down. 250
Flowers Georg @pantalonesfuego.bsky.social · 05/10/2026If you, like me, were a wayside school fan, you might enjoy (as I did) reading the author's first book specifically for adult readers. It's called the Magician of Tiger Castle and it was great and funny and smart, a very quick read. It brought me joy. 3201
