A neighborhood kid gave this little guy to my son yesterday. I think his family is catching on that we're a bunch of godless heathens.

Some photos from our haunted house this year. @nateorade.bsky.social
A homemade spooky fence with Halloween inflatables behind it. There is a Frankensteins monster, a pumpkin stack, a dragon, Jack Skellington as Santa, and a ghost. There is a skeleton and a blue car in the background. A picture of a homemade tombstone that reads: Rest In Pieces HAUNTED HOUSE Oct 31 2024 GONE WITH THE WIND. The entrance to the haunted house we built. The witches room in front. There is a green witch animatronic, with skulls and little skeletons decorating the room. There is a cauldron where the witch is boiling skeletons.

My husband (with a little bit of my help) made a haunted house in our front yard again this year. It was a pretty big hit in the neighborhood.

Interior walls are up in the haunted house! Electrical and ceilings are going in soon, and then decorations! @nateorade.bsky.social

The structure is up, and the husband is putting up the inner walls. Decorating starts this week, and I'm so excited to get my witch room up!
Homemade tombstone in the grass that reads "Rest In Pieces Haunted House Oct 31 2024 GONE WITH THE WIND" with a skeleton wrapping one arm around it. A black building and green house are in the background. Black tarp structure with a bloody sign that says, "Keep out!" A Jack Skellington blow-up archway, a black tarp structure, and a skeleton standing in front in a grassy yard in a suburban neighborhood.

Leave it to me to take the shakiest video ever, but the man getting arrested punched a woman & a man in the face. Both were peaceful protestors, & he came up, yelling at them to go away. He punched the woman, & then the man, and he looked genuinely surprised that we weren't going to let him leave.

I found this bad boy in my yard in SE Michigan. Super excited about it.

This is insane.

Thanks to the generosity of others, Kazem was able to afford a tent to shelter his family. They have made it south, but the bombings are still intense, and food costs are still going up. Any donation amount helps and is greatly appreciated.

Kazem, his parents, and 4 younger siblings are in the Sheikh Radwan area under seige. They are homeless, without a tent to sleep in or food to eat. Please, please donate or share to help this beautiful family. They are so good and kind. ❤️ #Gaza #freepalestine

Kazem says: "Here I am today, documenting my suffering from half of Gaza." Kazem says: "And here is the tower under which I was displaced in a tent."

Pretty proud of this 7 foot tall sunflower I grew this summer.

A message from Miasser in Gaza: gofund.me/e5056c06
Message reads: "Hello my friend, danger is approaching us. Please help us. We are moving to a new place and need money to provide a new shelter. Please, I am afraid that my children will remain in the street. The cost of a tent is $600. Please help us. My area is in danger....Please help us, even if it is a small amount." Attached is a photo of Miasser and her two daughters.

It's been about 2 months since my old girl passed away. She would've been 17 now. I miss her so much. She was the best girl.

Just finished Kate & Frida by Kim Fay, and I've got to say, this might be my new comfort book. It was so lovely, and it felt like being curled up with a cup of tea and a yummy pastry. 100000% recommend. I'm going to buy my own copy for at home.

Photo shows a book standing on a wooden table. The book is called "Kate & Frida" by Kim Fay. It says, "A novel of FRIENDSHIP, FOOD, and BOOKS." The book depicts a drawing of a pink table with a plate of food, a glass of a wine, and a bottle of wine on it. In the background of the photo is a can of Spindrift, a window, and a pothos plant hanging from the window.

I miss this girl so much.
Photo contains a perfect, sleeping senior dog with fluffy reddish brown fur and white around the mouth and eyes. She's lying on a tan fuzzy carpet in front of a tan couch and a brown patterned couch.

A poppy? I think. Either way, it's super pretty, delicate, and very fickle.
A reddish orange poppy (maybe) amongst leaves and smaller pink and white flowers.

Reading this in preparation for my astronomy class next semester. I don't know if it'll apply in that context, but why not?
Pictures contain a book titled "The Disordered Cosmos, A Journey into Dark Matter, Spacetime, & Dreams Deferred" by Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, standing on a stained wood table. A couch and green leaves are in the background.

Happy 2nd birthday to my pup, Bluey! It's been two years of Hell and so many tears, but we love each other. ❤️

Today, I found this pretty baby laying eggs in her nest by the side of the road. I put a cage around her nest and a sign, so hopefully, nothing bad happens.

My friend @kazemfromtogaza.bsky.social is sleeping on the ground with his family. They don't even have a tent to shelter them. Please share and donate if you're able to. 💗

My friend, Kazem, lives in Gaza. Every day has been an absolute nightmare for the last 18 months. Today, it is just his family and his neighbors left. Tanks are closing in, and bombs and gunfire can be heard from every direction. Settlers lurk nearby to intimidate them.

I found what I think is a pink columbine flower in my garden today. I've never seen one before and it was a beautiful surprise.
Contains a pink flower with long petals and a yellowish center. Buds and rocks are blurred in the background.
