Thinking aloud in the digital shower. Polymathically perverse. Universal outlier.
I have no inner dork -- no outer dork either. My dork is completely integral. #NothingButDorkAllTheWayDown
In belated recognition of International Women's Day -- y'all know what to do.

That this thread has gotten this far without mention of barreleye fish surprised me -- so here ya go. Life gets strange in the *mesopelagic layer 💜💜💜

*otherwise known as the Twilight Zone. Yes -- *really*.

This year has been shockingly low on books. Not counting an incoming designer biography book I got from Kickstarter, this is the season's entire haul!

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #79,264!

Weather ***FINALLY*** broke yesterday, and not a moment too soon! One week of highs at or above 115°F every day with overnight lows staying in the 90s almost broke _me_. We even got a fair bit of monsoonal rain yesterday!

I live less than two miles from where the #LasVegas high temperature of 120°F was recorded today. Got up early (before 6AM) to do some tidying up outside, but by 9AM it was just too hot to be outside working. This afternoon I opted to stay in and sleep. Time to switch to night mode!

It's a #BeautifulDayInTheNeighborhood here in the #Vegas Valley today Sky Pilots! Took some time out from errands to idle around in Sunset Park catching Pokémon. We're seeing some big clouds from the edge of the AZ moonsoons, but no rain.

What's the beautiful day in your neighborhood looking like?

Absolute truth. Feather bees mostly fit the European dragon model -- and they work hard at filling up the gaps.

I don't know that I could say there is a best/worse beetle, but Golden Tortoise Beetle (Charidotella sexpunctata) *is* a damn fine beetle.

The magisterial gravitas of these #socks is unimpeachable.

What's up Sky Pilots? #Pollen is what is up, and my #allergies along with it, despite being medded to the max against them. This is my love/hate season with the upper Mojave.

Temperatures are up too, after one of the longer, cooler spring seasons the #Vegas Valley has had in a while.

It is the Monday before Thanksgiving Day in the States, my kitchen is chock-full of vegetables in need of *prep, I feel unprepared for everything, and desperately want a nap.

...and you, #PeopleOfTheScreen? How is your week starting off? #digame

*Many (but by no means all) shown here.

A constant hazard of life on the internet, that.

Here's a Bluebird of Grumpiness in compensation; it won't return lost innocence, but it can help you appropriately adjust to knowledge you weren't ready for.

Me on the way to posting Important Things, getting distracted, reading 10 Wikipedia articles, 2 craft tutorials, 5 recipes, and a web comic, and completely forgetting what I came here for in the first place.

Running out of wakame, decided to stop at #Daiso since it was close to other errands. They had no wakame.

(There is no version of me that leaves that store empty-handed.)
