I present to you, trying new ways to use a hairstick that doesn’t really work at keeping my hair up. But it’s really pretty. #lfk #hairstick #fashion

My random American football thoughts: I appreciate the Dolphins name and logo. Local animal. Picture flows nicely on a helmet. Team colours reminiscent of Miami architecture. “Fins up” relatively innocuous crowd chant. Congratulations on an inoffensive team mascot. #NFL

What’s that super stylish necklace I’m sporting? Just a glittery disco ball from my favorite brand new three-year-olds birthday disco party this weekend. #grandmafashionista #lfk

Is it giving too much “Screech the car to a stop at a garage sale. Ask if they have any haunted amulets. Yell, “I’m getting the curse reversed, Dean!” at the dog in the back seat.”? Because, funny story… #jewelryaesthetic #beading #lfk

Without saying your age, what is your favorite movie that came out when you were 20 years old?

Got bored and made another necklace. Raided my stash for these Czech AB crystal beads leftover from my hobby store days. Can’t decide if it’s giving “classic elegance” or “grandma got dressed up for the holidays”. Either way it sure is sparkly. #jewelryaesthetic #lfk #beading

Today in small creative projects, I finished hand-knotting two pearl necklaces this week. (Many thanks to @yosaaddiss for picking up the pearls for me on her various adventures.) #pearlspearlspearls #lfk #beading #jewelryaesthetic

Work has been taking up a lot of brain space as we switch over to a new system. While my big projects languish I am fiddling with things I can do on the couch watching TV. I mean, what else would you do when you realize you own the perfect lime green shirt? #startrek #preteacosplay #lfk

Is anyone else as tired as I am of all the #ProjectRunway interpersonal drama nonsense? Show me a diverse group of designers making clothes and then judge the clothes. At the end of each episode declare a winner and send someone home. I want fashion design, not real housewives.

Dear United States - 🇺🇸 I know we are not the country I thought we were when I was 6 & most of my perspective came from Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, & the Justice League. But we could be. One with genuine equality, liberty, compassion, kindness, and justice for all. Yours in hope - me #4thofjuly

As a medieval historian I am on the edge of my seat about this. Living in exciting times here. What will they try to pull next? An anti-pope? They did not understand what they were getting into when they went up against Chicago Pope! (I never expected to have a favorite modern pope, but here we are)

My #WorldCup question for the day: Do any of the teams ever think about bringing in a choral instructor to make sure that the players can all confidently sing their own national anthems? I think it would take maybe two lessons max and save a lot of awkwardness during the team close-ups.

Look, I was so emotionally damaged by “When She Loved Me” in TS2 that I have never seen 3 or 4. Why would anyone want this? - is a really valid question.

Side benefits of work in academic libraries. Attend #AfricaDay educational celebration, enjoy West African cuisine. I asked for a small sample and got a dinner portion! 😂 So tasty! #UniversityofKansas #lfk

A plate of West African food includes puff balls, bell pepper sauce, smoked chicken & veggie rice. You wish you had some.

Slightly harder to get a pic with today’s #infusionreading due to the lack of dust-jacket. My Arthurian scholarship has fallen by the wayside since university, so I am slowly ploughing through some more recent research. #arthurianlegend #arthurianstudies #lfk #nicholasjhigham

Started watching #Paradise based on everyone’s strong recommendation. So far it has been predictable yet comfortable. I really enjoy this kind of show. The ultimate locked-room mystery. I look forward to having my feet knocked out from under me, story-wise.

If someone uses AI my immediate assumption is that they’re not very good at whatever it is they’re trying to do, and instead of being willing to do the work to become better, they’re looking for a cheat code.

Watched the latest season of The Lincoln Lawyer. I love it, but the last half hour always makes me tense up while waiting for the “surprise” cliffhanger. #thelincolnlawyer #lfk

New comics day for me courtesy of the @gameraspinning.bsky.social gifting library! Always so exciting! And I guess Happy St. Patrick’s Day to those who celebrate, or something. #newcomics #festivehat #returnofthefestivehat #lfk

I don’t even watch that much animated stuff currently. But this, I’d watch. The writers are veterans of Firefly, Agent Carter, and Legends of Tomorrow! #bringbackfirefly www.facebook.com/share/v/187P...

The OURA ring using ad music that reminds me of the #DEVS theme does not make me trust it.

Did the Orange Menace see the first Greenland movie and then decide he wanted Greenland? Is that what happened? Have the trailers for the second film set him off again? #Greenland

State of the hand, an update. First 2 pics are from just before corrective surgery at the end of September. Second set are from yesterday. Still doing physical therapy to improve flexibility & strength but this was totally worth it. #lupus #jointpain #lfk

State of the Laura update (hand). September surgery went well. I spent 6 weeks in casts and broke free last week. Physical therapy starts soon. Not to brag or anything, but this morning I put on a long sleeve shirt and my fingers stayed straight & didn’t get caught in the fabric. #lupus #handsurgery

State of the Laura update (physical). This is what my right hand looks like. Thanks lupus! (I mask a lot to make this less obvious.) On Monday, I’m having surgery to set my fingers back in the correct position. No, I don’t get claws, razor-fingernails, bionics, or to keep my knuckle bones. I asked.

Dear #projectrunway Holding the elimination for a week is stupid. I don’t care about the interpersonal drama. Show me people sewing garments and then judge the fashion. Sincerely, everyone.

I wish this was a full “adult-length” novel. The writing is solid and the world-building and characters so interesting that I wanted a lot more of them. #cheriedimaline #themarrowthieves #summerreading #readingcatchup
