I see the appeal of NM.

I have delivered @productivityalchemy.com’s Camaro to his home relatively unscathed (there were Stories, y’all!). Wish I could stay, but I’m literally at ABQ headed to SJC now.

I’ll be back!

Dropped @productivityalchemy.com's car off at the mechanic before dragging it to NM. A few hours later:

"Can I get into the Cammy I dropped off earlier to get my phone out of it?"
*blank stare*
"The Chevy Camry."
*blank stare*
"I mean the Chevy Cavalier!"
*blank stare*

"You mean the Camaro?" 🤦‍♀️

TIL that as long as DEET (my beloved SUV) has one tire on solid ground (and no tires trapped by tree roots), he can haul himself out of a ditch.

Why were we in a ditch? Let's just say no vultures nor DEETs were harmed in obtaining this knowledge.

People used to ask me how to overcome imposter syndrome and I would tell them I didn't know, I was born with the confidence gene.

Turns out I'm just mildly autistic and wired not to care what people think!

Getting diagnosed in your 50s is wild, y'all. It just explains *waves hands* soooo much.

We got a pumpkin today! Time to start planning the cats' scary jack o'lantern for this year. Past years have included: nail clippers, vacuum cleaner, the vet, and a spray bottle. 🎃

Went to a yoga/meditation festival last week and had an epiphany as I looked out over the Eat, Pray, Love crowd dancing amongst the backdrop of the beautiful mountains of Zion National Park:

I'm a Binge, Fuck, Fight kind of gal.

Sometimes, being in the wrong place is the right thing for you...

Hey, if you’re still on Twitter, be sure not to publicize this neo Nazi they’re protecting
Twitter is nuking every single post that mentions the name Hans Kristian Graebener, even in quotes. Everyone that posts it is getting hit. I've never seen sitewide censorship like this done specifically on behalf of a neo nazi.

I’m not saying that garlic bacon cheddar drop biscuits are the best biscuits ever, but since they just happen to be the ones fresh out of the oven…I am saying these biscuits in front of me are the best at the moment!

I might maybe just possibly be at @ksonney.bsky.social and @tkingfisher.bsky.social's place baking a bacon & apple pie (after making a tasty batch of Filipino poncit, of course...)

This is going to be deeeeeeelicious!

Hey, folks! Suggest you Google yourselves and see what LinkedIn thinks your accomplishments are…

Apparently, I’m my friend John Donovan in the Google search results. :disguised_face: :face_with_spiral_eyes:

My French is so bad that the French are genuinely relieved when I switch to English. Bless my heart. :D

KITTY!
The news in the world is awful, but it's almost Halloween, so let's talk about pumpkin enrichment for big cats.

This is Jinx the black leopard (Big Cat Rescue, Florida) enjoying shredding a pumpkin.

The #kakapo at Maungatautari are keeping us on our toes! Last week Manaaki was found outside of the fence and returned inside. We suspect he used a tree to jump the fence, so further tree trimming is underway and we’re closely monitoring all 10 birds in this new population. 📸 DOC. #conservation

If a strange man awoke me from an enchanted sleep with a kiss, I'd say, "Thank you. I did not consent to any of this, but I do appreciate your help with resolving this issue," and get on with my life.
If a boulder rolled down a hill every day I would simply choose not to push it back up.
If there was a woman creeping creeping behind my yellow wallpaper, I would simply redecorate.

The Frenchman shrugged off the fact that I didn’t like brie unless it’s warm and melted. He thought I meant room temperature.

The look of pure horror on his face when I described baked brie was priceless...

I told a Frenchman that I didn’t like baguettes because I don’t like the overly crunchy crusty exterior.

I have been informed that I am entitled to my opinion even though I am completely and irrevocably wrong. Also, I am still quite beautiful despite how very wrong I am.
