Curvy chaos
Appalachia
We were watching Merry & Pippin travel and eat and they were in the Outer Hebrides and I was remembering how we were there and loved it but also how everywhere we went in Northern Scotland people were like you live near the Appalachian Trail?!

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

Accurate
There are wolves inside of you, wild and free.
There's also a grizzled raccoon who's seen too much, a wine drunk lynx with late night ennui, and a sleepy little squirrel who often feels the weight of the world.

My son's working at Spencer's. He came home and told me one of the most stressful things ever happened to him, and it was him standing on the ladder with the hook thing trying to get a Hooters top down for a customer and they were packed in so tight/ tangled up and they kept raining down on him 😂

My husband just made me a hot toddy and he's cooking me the 40 clove garlic soup. He's amazing 😭

Oh great not only is it this, but I think I'm also trying to fight off some kind of crud.
Am I dying or is my period about to start? Questions to ask in middle age

Ok turns out everyone's pictures of the northern lights was exactly what I needed

Oh know this is getting too close to home 😂
My cab driver in Roanoke was a diehard MAGA Republican who's always voted against Tim Kaine. But he was impressed by Kaine's vote to end the shutdown without receiving healthcare concessions, and would now consider voting for him in 2028—should Trump pick him as his running mate.

I always feel sad for the really old guy veterans eating alone at the Olive Garden or Red Robin

Well it's the day of the year I share a pic of my favorite vet @dontoshin.bsky.social Now we are off on a mission to scavenge free food like seagulls

I want to be this bear in this moment
Polar bears are experts in relaxing. Nothing like a good kelp bed in the sunshine. #Mammals #BearSeason2025 🌿

Tomorrows a holiday so I am working on a Monday which I don't usually do and I am not a fan. Especially today lol. It's freezing but I'd rather be in the woods. I bought fleece lined pants for just such an occasion

Playing this card today. Please take your +2 prowess and use accordingly
Back in the midish 90s I used to play a Lord of the Rings based card game and ever since I think about this card when I get pissed off and I've been thinking about this card a lot lately

Me: There's something inside the back of my shirt, like a cocklebur or a gob of hair.
My husband investigates: It's a wooly booger! (A wooly bear, the caterpillar)

When my dog is out the larger birds make themselves scarce. It is the time of the finch

I've been trying to memorize bird calls but it turns out I'm kinda shit at it

I'm gonna need the grocery stores to quit leaving the delicious seasonal peppridge farm cookies put in the middle of the main aisle. I am weak.

November’s early darkness enfolds us. The smell of applewood fires and rot is a constant companion at twilight. We hurry between home and evensong, home and pub. Ghosts crowd the lanes, our folklore becomes filled with tales of cold teeth. Winter begins to growl. - #CLNolan

Me seeing people's pictures of snow: oh that looks nice!
Me looking at the temperature drop between today and tomorrow: oh fuck no

Waffle House is a beacon in a bleak land and I won't hear different
I grew up in rural Southern Ohio outside of Cincinnati and Waffle Houses saved lives... Literally, materially, spiritually. Interventions were had. Existential questions asked and answered. Self-harm attempts abated. Never underestimate the sanctity (and preparedness) of a Waffle House.
Everybody needs to take Waffle House's customer service as a model. They hate the day you were born. They'll take this outside. But they'll serve you up some smothered covered hasbrowns that make you weep for joy.
