One of my cousins did this in the early 90's. A friend of hers had family living in Germany so they went to Germany for a weekend without discussing it with their parents.

Work just gave permissions for everyone to use Copilot. I hate it and I want to remove it from everything.

This morning was a beautiful morning for a trail race! It was the last race of a summer trail race series. Despite my misgivings about my race prep, I crushed it! I took 8 minutes off of my time from 2025. Looking forward to more trails. 👟

This is more "thrash metal covering proto-thrash metal", but check out Metallica's cover of Queen's "Stone Cold Crazy".

Hectic. I'm convinced that July is a cursed month for work, but I'm on vacation starting Thursday. Which also means trying to cram everything into three days, making things... hectic.

Had a lovely 5.7 mile hike with a friend this morning. The weather was...mostly cooperative. It was hot and humid, but overcast, so still mostly gross. The trail was great (part of the MD Greenway Trail), the company was excellent, and I have a new-to-me trail. 👟

Here in MD, it is not raining (yet), but the air feels like a big, warm sponge. 🤮

I'm so sorry. They are furry little thieves that steal our hearts. And we live them even more for it. 😿💔

a useless sentiment but whatever, you made the mistake of following me, I just live here - just want to express both gratitude and consideration for anyone who comes forward about being abused by a high-profile man and weathers the nightmare of being a political football afterward. Hero shit.

Just like last night, some of my neighbors are setting of fireworks at 11:35 PM. Why? Just WHY?? I KNOW people feel a need to shoot off fireworks, but why so late?

Wonderful. Some of my neighbors decided to start shooting off fireworks at 11:40 PM. On a Thursday night. I'm so not looking forward to Saturday.

Fuck the reflecting pool. This has not gotten nearly enough coverage or generated the proper outrage. People thrown in prison for 30-50 years for the "crime" ofmaking zines and belonging to a book club!! This is straight-up totalitarian atrocity. Political prisoners thrown in a gulag to rot.

Your concern makes sense. Rigid rules never make sense. People live in the complexes/buildings and that brings a certain level of noise. Good luck with it.

Steph_Alchemist @steph-alchemist.bsky.social · 06/06/2026
I had something similar happen about a year ago. I asked about it, and it was not due to a noise complaint. The complex had just sent out the rules as a reminder to everyone.

I went to a butterfly exhibit on Sunday. 🦋🦋 I hope they help.
Butterfly: mostly black with light blue stripes and spots. It is sitting on small pink flowers and surrounded by green leaves. Butterfly: primarily light yellow with black spots and marks. It is sitting with its wings closed and sitting on a green stem surrounded by green leaves. An orange butterfly is sitting on small, light orange flows that are clustered together. More of the small orange clusters are at the bottom of the picture. Green leaves are in the background.

I had something similar a few weeks ago. I learned the hard way to pay attention to when I take daytime and nighttime cold medicine. I had one night with the most surreal, non-nightmare dreams. Hope you get better soon! Allergies are bad enough.

NYE 2025 had a much better finish than NYE 2024. Last year, I had to go to the ER due to a monster sinus infection. No such issue this time. Now, I'm getting ready to start 2026 with a cute, little 5K.
