Eating more low-carb for Pregnancy reasons. And after about a week of doing that ... I feel better and more energized. Damn it.

(2/2) My favorite part of the conversation there was the comment that said that people who write essays like mine never ever leave their urban environment, which I read in my office here in rural America, where I can look out my office window and see three separate agricultural fields.

I love the colander though! Why look at one image when you can watch a whole assortment?

There is a mockingbird in our neighborhood who has decided that 2 AM is his best opportunity to show off his impressively wide range of alarm inspired calls.

"Someone recommend me a good romantasy, strong female characters, good world building, pls?"

In a dark room, a man sits at his computer, straining, unable to stop himself. He has the answer. The perfect answer.

"I know it's not technically romantasy, but have you heard of Malazan Book of the--"

Congratulations @scalzi.com on an Alex Award for Starter Villain. Love seeing that amazing cover up on the screen!

Titled "Two Black Cadillacs"?

I love Dolly, but the lack of explosions clearly makes this the inferior video version.

Incredible. I am glad they had fun making it. I want pop up video to still be a thing now - I have questions ...

Wow, the fashion choices ...

PS: See if your library has a partnership with www.kanopy.com. You can watch wholeass brand new and classic Hollywood movies in addition to all the weird educational lectures, lessons, and shows. For free! Well, I mean, your taxes pay for it. So you might as well use it!

What a relief! Happy that you got good news.

God damn it.

Tell me about a cake/pie/treat you recently baked that was a hit and share the recipe/hints to break up the TL doom. Lets GOOoooo

So incredibly good. I wish we were getting more.

Ella has the right idea for the new year! Thanks for the warm wishes. ☺️

Thank you so much! That looks so cozy!

Wow, that looks amazing!

Having an extremely rough day with extended family. Send pet pics, good energy, baked good pics, etc.

We can stop doing experiments on this now! We know the outcome! It's always the same outcome! Just give people money!

My kiddos birthday is on the 25th of a month, so one year in a stroke of parenting genius I saved a dice Advent Calendar for her birthday month. (And executive function success - both remembered I had done that and was able to find it!)

Some people are saying it is bullshit that today is not a holiday from work and school.

Maintenance Phase by @michaelhobbes.bsky.social and @yrfatfriend.bsky.social is probably my favorite science podcast. It covers the wellness industry, and I especially enjoyed their episodes on school lunches, Oprah vs Beef, RFK Jr, and the President’s Physical Fitness Test: www.maintenancephase.com

Yes, why???? And why do they continue doing it???

I wholeheartedly recommend Starter Villain by John Scalzi. If you loved the banter and one-upmanship in Fuzzy Nation, you won't be disappointed here.

Good luck with staying cool! Thinking breezy thoughts for you.

🎶It's time to write the slogans
It's time to start the fight
It's time to stop the acting on the vidya games tonight!
It's time to set the rat up
Make sure he looks just right
It's time this strike got started at the vidya games tonight!🎶

Was going to comment and realized my comment was not all that relevant as it was historical rather than contemporary. But, if you want to be grossed out about going barefoot, I have a book recommendation for that: "American Murderer: The Parasite That Haunted The South" by Gail Jarrow
