Mr. Ziptie isn’t thrilled with the heat today, so he’s chilling under the pergola in the shade. Guarding 3 feeders in this heat takes a lot out of a guy!

When I was 6, I scored 161 on the WISC. This officially documents me as smarter than Elon Musk, so I apologize to the world for only having 3 children and not distributing more of my DNA. Imagine the good I could have done with this brain, my love for humanity, and Musk family money. 🤷‍♀️

I’m not sure how I feel about this. It DEFINITELY was not what any of us suspected in my family, and it was a surprise to the woman I adopted him from, too! 😂 We were positive he was a mix, especially because he’s huge. He outweighs his sister by 10 pounds now!

I can’t even plan my own lunch, and Embark wants me to plan a “breed party”? 😂

I haven’t seen this Zynga pen in at least 10 years, but somehow the new puppy had it; in some ways it’s bittersweet, because Barley was probably about his age when I got it. 🌈 He spent most of his puppyhood at the Zynga offices!

Tiny woman vs. giant cholla cactus part 2 - still winning! (Admittedly, I do get my manly man partner to handle the lignified branches that are too big for the loppers. 😂) As magnificent as it is, if anyone ever falls into it, it could kill them. 😱🌵☠️

Beautiful sunset in San Diego yesterday to honor a family member’s passing! On the way back to L.A. now to get back on fire watch for the next round - ngl, I’m worried. We’re much too close to the forest for comfort. 😩

OooOooOo I didn’t know they made a comic adaptation of the Farseers! 😱

This is a sad post, but I wanted to put it here because so many people knew my dogs for so many years through my stream - Barley, Molly, and Mr. Growley.

On Friday, all 3 crossed the bridge. It was at home, peaceful and painless thanks to a wonderful vet, but my heart is just so shattered. 💔

@georgetakei.bsky.social Any idea who the signature is in the first pic? My parents attended this event and my mother was forever aggrieved that @williamshatner.bsky.social didn’t show. 😂

Have you forgotten I walked the Earth surrounded by prophets, saints, and some very rugged fishermen?

Wouldn’t it be lovely if wealth brought out the best in people?

My beautiful mother (90, seen here in 1958) has declined very rapidly and is in her final day or two, which in some ways is a blessing because she never had any real dementia. 65 years of smoking has finally caught up with her - note the smokes on the table. :)

Quick update for my friends who find this account: I’m alive, I survived the breast cancer & I’m recovering from a big reconstruction surgery now - feeling okay, taking it one day at a time. I love you guys! ❤️

Okay, I’m here. I miss “old Twitter” when it was about RT’ing the pic of the sandwich your friend posted. Or organizing resistances. That kind of thing.
