See, if I'm late getting to bed, Heather will come back down the hall to stare at me pointedly 😂

So I like 6, and you like 9... Nice

did I want to be her? did i want to smooch her? who can say (it was both)

His plans invariably fail because he is a cat and I can just pick him up and move him, but that *is* a last resort. I will try to snuggle him until he is annoyed (rarely works), lure him to the edge of the bed with treats, etc. These tangled webs we weave.

Regardless of time, if Heather notices me starting to go about the "heading to the bedroom" routine (refill water, pee, turn off stuff in the kitchen and living room, etc.) he will slonk down the hall and bogart the middle of the bed/heating pad

Also just like, most of Aladdin. Jasmine. Al himself. Genie Jafar. Half the sultan's guards.

I've never liked them past about 8 or so and it turns out that as they ripen, the sugars change, and I'm juuuust allergic enough to that sugar to make me uncomfortable. Science!

(In my 20s in Iowa City I had earbuds plugged into my MP3 player with Tom Waits on shuffle like God intended)

I like keeping my ears open for various reasons but like. My phone is in my chest pocket. Why not throw on a little Paula Cole.

I've been biking to work for two weeks now and it just occurred to me that I could play music while riding

It has absolutely no business being such a timeless banger. The wordplay! The vocal! The bridge!

Of course, I was raised right! (Real talk: I DID cry when I got to visit Studio A; the Temptations DID play homecoming in 2019; and I DID AND DO think Bob Marley is mainstream)

off topic but I am aghast at how quickly this became one of my most-used gifs

You mean to tell me I'm older than I've ever been And now I'm even older And now I'm even older And now I'm even older?

I remember doing an assignment in college almost 20 years ago and discovering that Google thought I, a white teenager, was a 50-60 year old Black man

I got Indiana AND Texas today, but Dems. Tragically as a person of gender I had to send some pointed replies.

You can quibble about all kinds of things when it comes to AI in library spaces, but there is zero room for debate in our professional ethics when it comes to patron data privacy.

I think once I get into the Tarp Zone and have the tarp routine established it'll go pretty quickly. But you know. I thought that a week ago, too.

Fellas I moved a bunch of mulch onto a tarp so I could just drag the tarp to the backyard but it was too much mulch and I could not move the tarp with my entire body weight but I didn't want to take enough mulch back *off* the tarp so I went inside and took a shower and had dinner instead

✅ mulch between path and driveway ✅ mulch dogwood ✅ mulch east front yard plants 🟥 mulch around lilac bush 🟥 mulch around clothesline 🟥 mulch around east back yard plants 🟥 move remaining mulch out of driveway

I rotate my display rocks periodically so nobody ever feels left out

After lunch I have maybe two more wagonloads to go to the front yard. Then it's allllll backyard baybee (less distance, fewer people trying to talk to me, possibility of bumping some tunes through the speaker instead of earbuds)

Happy Mulch Madness Monday! 🟨 mulch between path and driveway ✅ mulch dogwood 🟨 mulch east front yard plants 🟥 mulch around lilac bush 🟥 mulch around clothesline 🟥 mulch around east back yard plants 🟥 move any remaining mulch out of driveway

I love when I catch the cats snuggling and Heather notices me noticing and immediately tries to extricate himself like NOTHING TO SEE HERE

Also the shrieking eels, specifically. That one persisted into adulthood. And the Darby O'Gill banshee.
