You just died.

Thr sixth picture in your gallery is what killed you.

I can't be with them this year, so my friend Audrie sent me the inspiration photo for this year's turkey. [We have made tons of vegan turkeys, she makes a delicious ham for dinner!]
Turkey crudite! Vegan "turkey" is actually a crudite platter laid out to make a turkey. Body is piles of black olives, grape tomatoes, cucumber slices, and arcs of red and yellow bell peppers. The neck is a chunk of cucumber. The head is a piece of yellow bell pepper, cut from the bumpy bottom section so it has an oblong shape, with green pepper "beak" and red pepper "wattle" and a tiny half-moon olive "eye." The wings are carrot sticks, celery sticks, and gerkin pickles! There's a sprig of parsley as a tail! It is very cute!

I am a terrible roommate! My feeling towards having a boyfriend can be efficiently summed up by quoting from tumblr (except I have zero longing for love, much less life-changing love because I already like my life!):
Splenda Pappy @caroline oreo The dating scene is ROUGH but please know that settling is so much worse than loneliness. Because that's just loneliness without the privacy. Like great I'm still sad and longing for a deep, life-changing love but now there's some guy in my apartment

I did know that...because @lgions.bsky.social told me all about her when I asked them to choose a portrait subject for Wonderful Women of the World!
A beautiful portrait of a Black woman in an old-fashioned blue dress with white detailing and a lace collar. She's sitting in a pink room filled with green plants, with a model ship on the wall, and medicine bottles on the windowsill. Mary is holding a mortar and pestle, and some ingredients are waiting to be added: ginger root, an anise pod, and some green herbs (rosemary, maybe?). Part two: COMPASSION Mary Seacole (1805-1881) could have been a nurse but her training in traditional Jamaican medicine wasn't recognized by the British establishment. Instead she served the wounded soldiers of the Crimean War in the 1850s by setting up a hotel where they could recuperate and be restored to health. When official recognition is denied, showing compassion in direct ways can change the world.

That yellow square is a sign that I got TRICKED!

Who knew how complicated it would be to get rows and columns correct? Other than anyone who's ever seen me struggle with Excel.
CluesBySam.com results for Nov 18th 2025 Rated: Medium 4x5 grid with 19 green squares and one yellow! Solved in 03:59 (I misread a clue and guessed a COLUMN 2 response instead of the ROW 2 response intended.)

Yesterday I had to leave my house. In the rain! Against all my I-moved-to-California-to-escpae-this principles! So I wore the best socks in the world:
Sock (flat, not on my foot) that is blue with brightly-colored abstract flowers and printing that says I'm a delicate fucking flower

Hits very different after I just saw this post:
Mindy Weisberger If you stare at seagulls, they're less likely to steal your food. That's kind of like how calling out corporations that treat workers unfairly can help turn things around for the workers, right? Anyway, here's a seagull and don't buy Starbucks during today's strike Photo of a seagull staring directly into your soul, header for the article she links: Stare at Seagulls and They'll Leave Your Food Alone Seagulls love your beach snacks, but they hate when you look them. www.livescience.com

I misread cosmic as comic and therefore I am compelled to post the best panel ever and contemplate updating my own personal email signature.
Panel from Scooby-Doo Team-Up chapter 99 (aka print issue 50) BatMite floats at the left side saying "Or even one where you're fictional characters!" The series editor (me! It actually me!) a fat white woman with brown hair and glasses wearing a fantastic green dress with orange flowers sits behind a desk with the DC circle logo, waving her hands in the air angrily and shouting "No, you CAN'T draw yourselves into the story just because it's the last issue!" To my right, the regular series team of artist Scott Jeralds (who drew this issue!), Dario Brizuela (who drew 2/3 od the issues!), and writer Sholly Fisch (who wrote ALL the issues) cower from my wrath. ScoobyMite hovers at the right side looking a little smug.

No, my banana is not drizzled with split pea soup. Found a new-to-me vendor at the Studio City Farmers Market on Sunday -- slowstirfoods.square.site/product/pure....

It is very delicious!
Poorly lit photo of a small jar of Slow Stir Foods Pure Pistachio butter (details linked in post) next to a jade green and white bowl that VERY MUCH clashes with the pea-soup-green pistachio butter coating my banana.

I am suddenly glad my uncle Bob was a 1970s Farah Fawcett fan, if he'd taped an elegant swordswoman to the powder room door, who KNOWS what that would have done to child-Kristy's brain.
Farah Fawcett fans unite! This is her famous red bathing suit poster, so she's sitting with one knee bent and her arm resting on it. Long, blonde wavy hair frames her super-bright, very large smile. So dreamy, 1970s perfection. Also it musta been cold in that studio.

This is preK. I might have the same hairdo now.
Bathing beauties! 5 girls in the early 1970s Me (far left, yellow bathing suit over a diaper, brown/blonde hair that someone tried to putlll back but it's so short is just kinda sits atop my skull) Cousin Tricia (looks like me but 3 years older and in a blue suit with red/white strip detail at the top) Sister Shannon (looks nothing like me but has a matching yellow suit) Cousin Barbara (matches Tricia's suit but has straight hair and no smile) Cousin Janice (oldest of the cousins, wearing a white swim cap and a very daring bikini)

I got to see some art up close this week!
Painting by Joan Miro (He's Spanish, should have an accent on the O) Painting (Man with a Pipe) I would classify this as very abstract, but compared to some of his works? This has recognizable shapes! A gray background with a white shape that is basically a misshapen circle/horizontal oval that flows down through a skinny neck to a white oblong. Rudimentary black lines and dots create the semblance of a face. The pipe is represented by a white circle with 3-dish black shadowing and black lines emanating from it on the gray field, somewhat resembling a pipe with straight lines of smoke. If you know that's what the painting is called. Sure. In the top right, there is a swoop-y line of red. What does that represent? No clue. But! It is freaking Joan Miro and I saw it in person! How cool is that?!

Return trip!
My foot in olive sneakers, pink-striped socks, and a flowered dress that "matches" because some of the flowers are pink and the foliage is olive-y shades. Fashion!

Post something random or you’ll have an awful November
Close-up on a disposable bowl full of mussels with a couple lemons on top, and a plate of shells next to it. If you look closely, you can see barnacles on the shells and intact beards. These are EXTREMELY fresh mussles!

Went to Spain for a convention in Granada, found an LA friend represented! Look @jodyhouser.bsky.social you are una estrella!
A hardcover edition of STRANGER THINGS DUNGEONS & DRAGONS El Ascenso del Fuego Infernal By Jody Houser, Eric Campbell, Diego Galindo, Diana Sousa, and Nate Piekos Cover art is a white dude with shaggy 1970s curly brown hair and I think he's playing D&D or preparing to. But this is not my area of expertise.

Airport time! I decided that compression socks are great a couple years ago. But this is the first time I committed to buying fun patterns. Stripes are cool! And my blue dress with giant white flowers hardly clashes at all.

[That is a lie, there's a reason I did not show those photos.]
My feet! Blue slip on skechers, wacky-stripes compression socks (black, pink, green, tan, mauve--it's wild in here).

Got to Annabelle's Book Club in time to see @trungles.com and @victoriaying.com talk. Whew! Also yay for LA traffic that cooperated with my mission.
Cute bookstore! Tall white shelves with a rolling ladder. Left section has gold letters at the top "Unforgettable" around the corner is the "riveting" section. No people! Most books are spine out so you can't see the tiny titles, but the selection is great. Most if the visible covers are on a small table in front of the shelves, full of doggos. Chic Dogs! Dog's Friend! Dog! Dogs!

Savory won!
Toasted sesame bagel with scallion cream cheese, cut into halves, with a whole (smallish) heirloom tomato sliced up. The tomato is a dark red that is almost purple at the edges. It is delicious! Farmers markets never fail.

Some people repeat the same message across all socials, so if you follow here, why follow there? But @seananmcguire.bsky.social is delightful everywhere she goes!

What’s your favorite fake? are you a sorbet/italian water ice girly? I found that nondairy ice cream is usually safe for me. The So Delicious ones have the good mouth feel/taste combo. Unless you get the mint chocolate chip/coconut milk base. That is…not right.
Product shot copied from a store’s order website: So Delicious Dairy Free dipped Salted Caramel swirls in creamy cashew milk dipped in a chocolatey shell. The glory shot of an ice-cream-on-a-stick shows just that, with a bite taken out of it so the caramel can drip out. NOT accurate! But still quite delicious.

That tracks, because we all know Gossamer spends a lot of time at the salon.
Terrible screenshot of Looney Tunes favorite Gossamer, a large shaggy orange-red monster (Gritty's uncle, maybe?) wearing signature black and white sneakers, reading a book, waiting for the curlers in his hair to tame the fuzz!

Drop the old person you're going to turn into in the future
A VERY blurry picture of me (fat white lady in a very pretty dress with a floral pattern in 1970s tones of olive and pink and orange and mustard yellow) with my niece (adorable mixed race teen in yellow sweater). We took like 8 shots and eventually did get one where we were both fully visible but this motion shot that cuts half our faces off is just the cutest.
