Got a fantastic view for My Chemical Romance in Seattle tonight!

Having just finished my somethingth watch through of Boy Meets World, the ending feels bizarre, despite the excellent “Class Dismissed” final scene.

The final two episodes are like 75% clip show, replaying scenes from throughout the series, intercut with occasional fresh scenes.

Y’all these gel nail strips are delightful. I can do a solid B+ job painting my left hand with my right, but painting with my left hand is impossible.

Now I can have cute nails even if I don’t have time for a manicure. I love them.

Happy Earth Day, Planeteers.

This is a tiny maple forest I started growing last year. I’m hoping they’ll survive the winter and I can add some new babies when it warms. Tiny Forest was very good for my mental health this year.

Hell yeah, I am. Caroline Kingsbury rips.

I’ve been looking for one of those for months. In the meantime I’ve got a 5-inch black and white set up.

Nice find!

Earthrise is tough to beat.
In the same spirit, I‘ll submit Pale Blue Dot, accompanied by Sagan’s words.

Look the baby!

This tiny saber-toothed cat cub has been frozen for 30,000 years or so and they look as cute as ever.

While you’re waiting for your potatoes to bake you can make little pictures of your grandpa grazing with sauropods.

Some fresh-squeezed pics of tonight's partial lunar eclipse, as seen from just outside Salt Lake City. There's something striking about seeing an unusually placed shadow fall across the Moon.

I remember when you could look miles without seeing another user. Now it's skeets as far as the eye can see.

The League of Utah Writers saw fit to name me the 2024 Writer of the Year. I am grateful to have a community to support and which supports me. I hope to live up to the honor.

Today I attended the World’s Greatest Book tour. Love is real, buckaroos.

Over the last couple of weeks I spent about $100 (and a couple weekends thrift store hopping) on a couple of old machines and associated doodads so that I could watch movies in the least convenient way possible and believe me when I tell you these are some of the best dollars I ever spent.

It’s happening!

Back in October I got to go to Houston and see Intuitive Machines’ Odysseus lander before it went to Cape Canaveral. If all goes well, tomorrow it will land on the Moon.

I’m always excited, hopefully, and anxious for any landing mission but I’ve got my fingers ultra crossed for this one.

I really wanted cranberry orange cookies. So I made cranberry orange cookies. They are scrumptious. 10/10 recommend making yourself cookies anytime.

Uh-oh. This sauropod bud is having a rough one.

If you’re in SLC today, stop by the Natural History Museum, see some Dinos, and pick up a copy of @restingdinoface.bsky.social The Last Days of the Dinosaurs.
