“season to taste” is so frustrating. i *can’t* taste it, it’s *raw meat* give me a starting point to work with. “1 tsp salt (or to taste)” i know this is one of those things you figure out with experience, but it’s hard to practice when everything you cook is depressing 😭

greta, an elderly mastiff, would have been enjoying a nice nap if i wasn’t making her try on her halloween costume 🧶

she’s wearing the beginnings of a hand-knit tiger-striped snood, which is currently trailing assorted bits of scrap yarn i’m using as stitch markers and lifelines

The problem is that "while you weren't looking the tech industry was comprehensively taken over by a cult based around a piece of Harry Potter fanfic" is self-evidently an absolutely ridiculous claim that can't possibly have happened, which is a real problem given that it 100% did happen.

just realized i took my nighttime meds this morning instead of the daytime ones, guess that’s why i felt a vaguely unwell all day. i guess that’s the trouble with having a little pill organizer, when i don’t have to think about selecting the right pills I might not look at them at all.

the birthday boy is 12! too excited to cooperate with photos, but still very cute
frank, a white dog, a little too close and a bit out of focus with his wavy little tongue sticking out a couple of inches. on a little table in front of him is a cupcake cup full of whipped cream with little carrot-chunk sprinkles. frank sits on the porch and delicately licks his lips. he's wearing a blue and black buffalo plaid "it's my birthday" bandana. not terribly in focus this time, either.

Beyond the specific pollution issues the utter contempt for the law we're seeing from the tech industry and unwillingness of regulators to do anything, or even to seem to care about lawbreaking, is incredibly corrosive to society

@awilddre.bsky.social @amyhoy.bsky.social Frankie had his mobility consultation yesterday. it was really informative! glad we did it. i have a much clearer understanding of how his illness will progress and what kinds of things we can do to help him.
frankie, a one-eyed white dog, is curled up on a couch. his tail is wagging (slightly blurred). he's wearing little boots on his back feet, but they're kinda hidden by a fold of the denim quilt under his hind end.

progress!
same lizard from the quoted photo, but now on the other side of the bike pump, next to a flat deli lid with a dollop of gecko food near the edge. there’s a little indentation in the top of the food where the lizard may have taken a little bite.

checking on a visitor sony dsc-h1 (5mp) #shittycamerachallenge found this little lizard looking dazed on our doorstep this morning and she's stayed in this corner all day. i left a bit of water and gecko food out. hopefully she perks up as it cools off.
tired-looking desert spiny lizard(?) lurking in a corner between a rake and a bike tire pump. it's night time, but she's illuminated with a flashlight.

the lizard is slightly spiky and tan with a line of dark dots down the back and a little dark crescent behind the head.

never thought i’d be nostalgic for the tone of ‘90s tabloid articles about trans people, but here we are. 🫠 it’s a little sensationalistic, but not really mean spirited. and i’m charmed by that photo under the “ALTERATIONS / ladies • mens” sign.

plotting parakeets sony cybershot dsc-h1 (5mp) #shittycamerachallenge
two budgies perched on top of a cabinet with korean mother of pearl inlay. they birds are facing towards each other but eyeing the camera, probably scheming against me. 

one bird, sitting on the edge, is blue, white, and black; the other is a bit further back from the edge and is a smaller, feistier bird in blue-green, yellow, and gray. behind the birds there's a textured ceramic vase and a warm yellow wall.

portrait of frank, a largish one-eyed white dog. his face is bright white with the light shining on his fur. his jowls and neck wrinkles droop a bit, and his pretty brown eye is ringed with darker skin so it looks like he's wearing eyeliner. he's laying on sofa with his delicate paws hanging over the edge.

BELUGA WHALE? AI tools are so informative
screenshot of the apple photos app with AI identification mis-identifying a photo of a narrow crescent moon as a great egret (or, as a secondary possibility, a beluga whale)

The text from the egret info popup follows:
Great Egret (species of bird)
The great egret, also known as the common egret, large egret, great white egret, or great white heron, is a large, widely distributed egret. The four subspecies are found in Asia, Africa, the Americas, and southern Europe. Recently, it has also been spreading to more northern areas of Europe. Distributed across most of the tropical and warmer temperate regions of the world, it builds tree nests in colonies close to water.
Taxon Name: Ardea alba (Carl Linnaeus, 1758)

a tiny friend at the office today (now safely released outside) nikon coolpix 4500 (4mp) #shittycamerachallenge
a tiny little lizard on an expanse of linoleum.
the lizard is a mottled brown color with darker spots around their neck, has long toes on their hind legs, and is 2-3” long including tail—maybe a juvenile spiny lizard? they seem unbothered both about being indoors and about being photographed

sunset nikon coolpix 4500 (5mp) with 3x teleconverter #shittycamerachallenge
Palm trees as jagged, red-haloed silhouettes against a sunset. The sky is a gradient from peach at the top to a harsh yellow-white at the bottom.  the spiky top of a short palm tree erupts into  lower part of the frame, framed but not fully contained between the vertical trunks of taller palm trees and horizontal power lines.

nighttime scene. a large beer-brewing tank looms in front of an industrial building turned craft brewery. a streetlight casts an oversized, moon-like globe of light in the humid air (though light reflecting from the power lines and light post gives away its terrestrial origin). after a few drinks in the taproom, the white tank, with its pointed top and the red-painted struts supporting it could almost be a rocket waiting on its launch tower.

an “i voted” sticker next to my front door to ward off political canvassers. 

the sticker is on an index card slipped behind a horseshoe above the doorbell.
i love our early voting stickers—they say “i voted” at the top in english, then have a horizon with silhouettes of saguaros and other desert plants, followed by “i voted” in tohono o’odham (“a:ñi ‘ant wodalt”), and spanish (“yo voté”), and at the very bottom “pima county, az”
