One of these days, I'm going to bring my googly eyes to the botanical garden and give these Old Men of the Andes the silly faces they deserve.

But then that would probably also be my last time at the botanical garden so I guess I will just enjoy their wacky hair in the sunshine. 👀🌵

Spent all of Saturday catching up on essential work that didn't get done during the week. Then this Panda shows up and tells me that apparently I've been doing this all wrong and I can easily share my thousands of tasks with my imaginary assistants. Rude 🐼

Friday. Zoning out drinking tea while the world falls around me. Can't even get this photo cropped and rotated correctly. Oh well 🦊☕
A photo of a fox holding a cup of tea, staring off into space. The photo may be sideways because the app won't let the rotate settings stick.

Day 1400 of my captivity. I awaken each morning and rearrange green and yellow letters on my rectangular brick. Someday I will be free of this streak, but for today I mark the milestone and carry on. 🟨🟩

Tonight's mood 🎃
A carved pumpkin with round blobby eyes with pupils. One eye is much bigger than the other. There is a long skinny smiling mouth across the whole pumpkin with no teeth.

Preview of coming attractions... 🎃
Two fuzzy orange ears with tan interior and orange ovals inside. The ears are sewn atop a hood of orange fuzzy fabric. Next to the ears is a 3D printed frame to hold the ears up

Throughout the day I think of assorted interesting things to say or post. And then I try to write something in the evening and my brain is completely empty. So here's a hairy spider that was hanging around outside my room. 🕷️🕸️
A close up of a brownish spider hanging upside down in its web. I should look up what kind it is but I haven't yet

The Revenge sails again! Glad to see this safe space ship out my window for the next two weeks 🏴‍☠️💜🧡

Time to solve the riddle of the computer pop-up. Is -20,906 seconds in the future or the past? Is my computer going to restart while I'm teaching next period or can I ignore this? Can I stop the countdown by singing Seasons of Love instead? Much more thinking than I want to do right now ... 🤔
A computer warning pop up that says "Your device will restart in -20,906 seconds "

Scrolling through personalized playlists on Spotify: Daylist, Broadway Mix, Easy Listening Mix, Empowering Mix, Workout Pop Mix, PIRATE MIX?!?????

Seriously?! And the first song is Leggy Blonde? The rest is satirical sea shanties but still! That algorithm knows more that I thought it did 🏴‍☠️💜

September garlic harvest. I'm glad they actually grew slightly. Starting the next batch at Halloween. Must keep those vampires at bay 🦇🧄

Today has been a day. Just have to keep on going.

For now, taking a moment to appreciate the disco ball above my bed. It doesn't fix anything but it makes the world more interesting 🪩
Interior bedroom. You can only see the top bit of a window with shutters in the center of the picture. The rest of the image is the blank walls and ceiling. Hanging on the shutter is a small disco ball. On the walls and ceiling you can see spots of light from the disco ball

Weekend visit to the ocean. Good surf to play in but I got distracted by the pelicans and a wave knocked me over and stole my hat.

This is its home now. The sea. 🌊🏴‍☠️
Wide shot of long surf rolling onto the shore and distant people playing in the waves. The sky is grey and a line of pelicans are flying across

Home all by myself this evening for the first time in ????

How do I celebrate? By starting and finishing entire tasks without being interrupted. So magical. ✨

And by eating my vegan lemon-blueberry cheesecake in silence. Ahhhh 🍋🫐😌

Sometimes it's worth informing the neighborhood about the correct mathematical terminology to discuss numbers. 👩🏼‍🏫
Chalk drawing on pavement that diagrams the way numbers are organized- real vs imaginary, rational vs irrational, integers, whole numbers, and natural numbers. There are 2-3 examples in each box

What this world needs now is a smiling cactus who you can dress up with fancy pink pants. 🌵😀

This bottle of "Moroccan" Mint tea thinks that the Earth is a flat Mercator projection. 🗺️
"Moroccan Mint Tea" label that reads "p.s. our peppermint and spearmint leaves are grown in the Pacific Northwest and our green tea is grown in China. If our mint leaves were traveling to meet our tea leaves, Morocco would be the perfect halfway point!"

If you can, can, can, go see Moulin Rouge the Musical. Or just listen to the soundtrack. It's not just a jukebox musical. 90% of the songs are better than the originals. Such a spectacle.

Truth. Beauty. Freedom. Love. ❤️

My daughter has free reign in my bin of scrap fabric and she very definitively decided that these were the creatures that needed to be made. Not quite sure of their species but they are rather cute! 👾🦑

Summer is for iterative 3D printing! I saw an idea for an avocado pit boat and decided to design my own. Definitely could argue whether or not this is the best use of my brainpower over summer break 🤪🥑🛥️
Eight 3D printed boats arranged in a line. The one on the far left is green and the colors of each fade towards red. Each is a slight modification of the design before it and the last one is 1.5 times bigger than the 7th

Deliberately curating my Bluesky to serve as a gratitude journal. Sharing fun things I find or make and liking things that I am entertained by/connect with/support and want to see more of.

This week's discovery: a happy jack-o'-lantern stone! 🎃

The baby squirrel that has been digging up our yard has apparently uncovered a murder mystery. No signs of any other bones. Was this the circle of life at work or perhaps... Revenge?!? What clues will be dug up next? Stay tuned! 🐿️ ☠️
