Person-shaped, she/[any], forty. Cis, married, vaguely queer, unmistakably neurodivergent, definitively clueless. Firm believer in the paradox of tolerance.

Anyway I'm a hundred thousand years old, I have no idea how any of this works, please forgive all of the mortifying cringefail that i'm definitely about to do. (Possibly including use of the word "cringefail.")

Happy Thanksgiving, remember to drop that sucker still frozen ✌️

I didn't bother setting up my antenna this year so I chose a Livestream of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and I noticed that @apnews.com had one.

Well it turns out to be a superior experience. No annoying talking heads! No cutaways! I can finally hear the parade announcer! 100% Parade. 10/10

I've been a Decemberists fan longer than I've been a Dropout fan, so that bit in the middle of this was a hilariously unexpected record-scratch moment.

Can't believe you're friends with Colin Meloy AND you can do a backflip, damn @electrolemon.bsky.social leave some cool for the rest of us man 😭

Happy Thanksgiving Break, I say from the spot on the floor where I collapsed face-down the second I arrived.

In honor of having the luxury of an entire week to be a real actual person in, I have taken the opportunity to indulge a hobby i rarely have the spoons for: BAKING!

These are so good. ❤️
Pumpkin Pie Bars
These pumpkin pie bars could also live up to the name of pumpkin blondies or pumpkin brownies - a rich, dense bar jam-packed with pumpkin flavor.

This is probably me projecting. But as much as I enjoy Frank Turner, I can't help but feel that his new cover of The Mountain Goats seminal "This Year" lacks the frantic desperation that marks the original as a timeless mantra.

Frank's refrain is a statement.
John's is a fervent, whispered prayer.

Today I learned that, despite it photosynthesizing and being (vaguely) green(ish) and needing water to live, kelp is not a plant.

It is actually a very large algae. Which, it turns out, also is not a plant! Despite it photosynthesizing and being green (usually) and needing water. Not a plant.

I underestimated you, Colorado Springs - I was sure we'd be the only freaks in costume at the 6pm showing of shadowcastless Rocky Horror. But there are so many costumes!? So much fishnet and sequins and heels and even a buttcheek. My city has freaks after all! 🫡🥲❤️🖤

I would personally like to thank Tacos Del Gordo for having the best refried beans I've ever had.

You're a gift to Colorado Springs and this city doesn't deserve you, but thank you for your amazing delicious bean burritos anyway ❤️

@vornietom.bsky.social immediately knowing what show Emily Axford was talking about as soon as she said "German time travel show" is absolutely and without a doubt the high point of my entire week.

Siobhan and Emily, you continue to be women of incredibly good taste. Thx for always being awesome!

Anyway I've just found a marine biologist here on Bsky and boy am I excited for more Critter & Beast Facts.

10/10 highly recommend populating all your feeds with every flavor of natural scientist you can find. The animal kinds are especially delightful in my experience.
It turns out that I'm subconsciously populating my social media feeds with as many biologists as possible.

I follow an aquarist, a wildlife rehabber (specializing in cottontails!), and some flavor of biologist who specializes in Squishy Lil Guys (leeches and slugs and whatnot).

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Today's Connections was horrible & I'm furious.

Green and Yellow categories were fully interchangeable, depending on slang in your region. I still don't know how I was supposed to have figured out which of the five recognizable brand names didn't belong.
