for some reason this statement and the cropping of the photo to show a blank wall and one other person gave me this energy
a tweet from Nathan Fielder with a photo of him (a white man with brown hair) smiling broadly. no one else is visible just a blank wall.

Oops late just hopped on and saw your post about going back through notifications! We’ll go with a silly one from Halloween before it’s way too late for that.
A selfie of me in my Halloween costume which was an 80s workout aficionado. I am wearing a pink leotard, a curly red wig with a pink headband, and pink lipstick. You can’t see the rest of my outfit that featured a fanny pack, short shorts, wrist bands, leg warmers, colorful shoes & props of small dumbbells & a copy of a Richard Simmons workout on VHS but if you look a few posts back you can find the whole look!

Me, a middle-aged white lady wearing a hot pink leotard, short black shorts, hot pink leg warmers, wrist bands, headband & fanny pack, rainbow sparkle sneakers, a curly red wig and 80s-inspired pink makeup, holding dumbbells and a VHS made to look like a copy of “Richard Simmons Sweat & Shout”. A cardboard cutout of Ryan Reynolds happens to be looking on in the background but that’s unrelated.

Got to snuggle some puppies at my conference this week. Helps why I have to spend 4 days away from my own. #TTT
Me sitting on a fake grass mat holding two adorable puppies. They may have been boxer-lab mixes of some sort, no one seemed to know. There is an ivory colored one on my lap and a slightly darker tan one climbing on top of it biting its neck.

In Orlando for a conference. My hotel room supposedly has a “Florida view”. Behold the beauty of the Sunshine State!
The view from my hotel window. It’s of a parking garage. Technically in Florida so I guess we can’t call it false advertising.

Funny how the only hate I saw at the so-called “Hate America Rally” was from Trump supporters flipping us off. 🤔 #nokings
Selfie of me and a frog - he has a sign that says pro-America anti Trump with an American flag. My shirt is not fully in frame but it says “equality hurts no one” in rainbow flag lettering because I don’t own anything in the requested yellow so I chose a light green pride shirt instead

Not sure how low carb you are aiming for but these both make pretty decent pizza-adjacent flatbreads with low calories. Also the lavash is good sprayed with olive oil, cut into squares, seasoned and baked as chips.

Last week at our belated anniversary dinner in Vegas before we went to the Exotic Dancer Awards Show. (I work for a strip club company for anyone that doesn’t know & they host this event every year)
A selfie of me wearing a blue and black lace dress that is very low cut and showing more cleavage than I normally would but when in Rome and whatnot. Behind me are the Bellagio fountains.

This one is for the #chiefsties
Fantasy football team name "Pissing off Dads, Brads, Chads" (they wouldn't let me use the & sign), with a profile pic of Taylor Swift giving a thumbs up from a suite at a KC football game/wearing team fan gear.

My final #TTT submission from my Huntington Beach trip. This time featuring actual beach. Can’t wait for the 3-day weekend!
A selfie of me on a beach with some fake surfboards. Im wearing a colorful sundress and blue earrings. My hair is windblown and I briefly took my sweater off for the photo but it was chilly.

I was proud of myself when I fell and broke a finger/sprained two others I realized before it started swelling I should take off my ring. Ring finger was the least injured but still could’ve been an issue.
Two hands side by side. The left hand has three very swollen/purple fingers, shown in comparison to the “normal”/not swollen right side.

22 years ago we got engaged in front of the Bellagio fountains, so I figured it’d be a good place to celebrate a slightly belated 21st anniversary. Love you @jakelupardus.bsky.social
Selfie of me and my husband with a fountain spraying behind us.

Took a pic every night of my conference last week so I figure I can milk these for a couple more TTT events 😘
A selfie of me in front of the Pacific Ocean and some palm trees (and a road unfortunately because the hotel is technically across the street from the beach). I am wearing a black jumpsuit and a silver necklace. My hair is in a bun and looking somewhat unruly, let’s pretend it’s due to wind and not me just doing a bad job putting it up.

Celebrating #TTT from not so sunny but still lovely Southern California! This was night one of my conference.
A selfie of me wearing a blue dress with a blue turtle necklace and standing in front of the pacific coast highway with the ocean & palm trees in the background.

Tell me why the one on the left is just a normal sized coffee cup?
A coffee mug that says “everything is bigger in Texas” next to another coffee mug with a map of Texas. Both are just regular 10-ounce ish sized mugs. Everything (except this mug) is bigger in Texas?

I can never figure this out properly and therefore all my cute dog pics have alternate wording (They’re lounging on the sofa! Or snuggling! Never laying or lying)
Two black and white dogs hanging out on a brown recliner with a blue plaid blanket draped on the top.

He’s our third one! We love them. We lost our first two shortly after moving to Texas and got him just a few weeks after the 2nd one passed.
Two black and white Boston terriers - one has only one eye and the other has red eyes because this breed has terrible eye problems and they both needed very expensive surgeries but we loved them and miss them.

Thanks. I just tried googling it and it did not help whatsoever. Bluesky search > Google?!
Google AI response to search of glonzo meaning: The term "glonzo" is not a standard English word. It appears to be a misspelling or a playful variation of "gonzo." "Gonzo" is a slang term, primarily used in the context of journalism and literature, to describe something unconventional, bizarre, or outrageous. It can also refer to a style of writing or reporting that is subjective, personal, and often exaggerated. The term was popularized by Hunter S. Thompson and his "gonzo journalism" style, which involves the writer immersing themselves in the subject matter and presenting a subjective, often highly opinionated, account.

Welp y’all looks like we made it (the NYT mini crossword)
The NYT mini crossword for 7/12/25 with the clue “left-leaning social media site” - the answer is Bluesky. All the other answers are shown too because it looked weird when I tried to blank them out and I didn’t take the screenshot early enough.
