Hi, I'm here at last. Have a picture of a tree. I like trees and you should too. :)

As I readied myself to go have a bilateral mastectomy on September 8, 2008, I took one last selfie with my real boobs. You can see pride, resolve, fear and courage in my attempt to smile.

I searched my photos for "fluffy" looking for a picture of a particular cat. Well, the bunny exhibiting serious zoomies _was_ fluffy. Terrible picture, obviously, but as a search result it made me laugh.

TIL I can take a screenshot on my watch. I don't know *how* I did it. And I'm not sure why I'd want to. But apparently I can! 😂

Back in the day if you wanted to know the exact time there was a number you could call. The mnemonic was "popcorn" 767-2676. What many didn't know was that you could dial any four digits after 767, from 0000 to 9999.
Can you imagine that now?! A whole giant block of numbers that couldn't be used? 😂

I'm glad I thought to look you up! I was looking at the painting I bought from you and I realized I didn't follow you here. Oops. Situation corrected.

Several years back, right around Christmas, I came across this great sale on wrapping paper so I bought a bunch. A year later I decided gift bags, being reusable, would be the better choice. Environmentally speaking. But I must keep wrapping now until it's gone. 🥴

Someone on Reddit called this "coastal weather for inland prices". I actually saw some blue sky yesterday and rain is coming. Yay! Overcast for weeks sucked.

Beautiful paracrinoid. A distant relative of sea stars and urchins 🧪
In light of the Saurophaganax situation (🦕 and/or 🦖), I suggest Oklahoma consider Oklahomacystis as a state fossil. Oklahomacystis belongs to the Paracrinoidea, an extinct lineage of rare & unusual blastozoan echinoderms. Despite their name, they aren't likely to be very closely related to crinoids.

I can hear a rooster and they aren't allowed in this area... But also I heard there was a chicken on its own down the street so those could be the same bird. A very confused bird since it's crowing *now*.

All of a sudden I have a kajillion posts from gaming subs on Reddit. Maybe because I said I was saving up for a Switch2. I don't think I can explain to the algorithm that I play like 2 video games and one will be bundled into it. Hopefully I can mute enough so that they stop.
