I didn't buy these but now I feel like I should have.
A bag of PEELABLE STRING CHEESE gummy candy overlaid by the caption "I have questions..." in courier/typewriter font. The candy twists inside seem to look like cheese but, at the bottom, the bag also says "artificially fruit flavored" in a further confusing twist. The back of the bag (not shown) appears to support that the gummies have Mozzarella cheese flavoring but no actual defining flavor element is discussed in the text or ingredients list.

For some reason we have a TON of bluebirds around here this spring!
Looking up at a bluebird sitting on a power line. Several other lines cross a pale blue sky at a diagonal from top left to bottom right. The bluebird's red chest and white chevron belly are visible and they are looking up to the left with their tail below the wire.

In the latest in enshittification, @google is now serving SPONSORED ADS in maps.
I was late to an appointment yesterday because I clicked on the wrong listing after typing the exact address. Another clinic in the same system was served to me ahead of the office I was trying to get to. 🤬
Phone screenshot of intended destination at the top of 2611 West End Ave in Nashville followed by two sponsored listings with clickable icons, SPONSORED is circled in red and their addresses are underlined in red. The inputted destination address with a single, much less obvious clickable icon is at the bottom of the image and has a red star beside it. Screenshot is in dark mode.

The Epic Logs are riding one last time!
Illustration of a brown log with big, shining round eyes surrounded by yellow sparkles and a glow effect. ✨️ The words "epic '15" are spelled out in shinmery-looking cursive. My daughter's Battle of the Books team is the Epic Logs. Mockup of the log illustration on a forest green tshirt. Grainy because I took a snap of the screen.

So I just replicated my Va-Va's "Portuguese Goulash" recipe and it required a mix of seasonings I have never used before: cumin, oregano, allspice, and black pepper. Into a wine-enhanced tomato sauce. And it was so good! Tasted like childhood!

My Friends and I, one of our fave antique shops in Niles!
Eldest posing in one of the rooms. There is just aesthetic stuff all around her. Hanging lights and red bead garland and a birdcage, stacks of dishes, etc. She's in a green vemvet dress and cream holiday sweater and I have snapped this shot through a doorway. The candle and crystals room. Hanging suncatcher crystals dangle in the foreground. There's a bunch of antique odds and ends leading back a long alcove to a steamer trunk and sone adjacent shelves full of fake candles. Various objects fill the space like Beanie Boos and Christmas tchotchkes and lanterns and a birdcage and dressform. Closeup of eldest wearing a gold crown with red and green gems that matched her sweater. More crowns and tea cups and journals on the shelves in the background.

As if it's possible for this piece to be EVEN MORE STUNNING in person, but somehow it is.
I legit cried tears of joyful awe.
Thank you @peculiarityshop.bsky.social
And big thanks to the spouse @maasinsomnia.bsky.social for nabbing it. 🥲🥰

It was at @target and I was weak.
(Excuse the messy sink, I was washing cookie sheets yesterday, and I didn't get a chance to scrub the metal scuff marks out!)
A green Nessie neck (that is attached to a ladle) peers over the edge of a white (scuffed) kitchen sink. Brown and white speckled marble in the foreground. A crocheted Christmas tree scrubber sits on the sink divider on top of a holiday colored crocheted washcloth

I don't know who decided poplin was back, but I want to give them a kiss. This is amazing! Silky, crispy, swishy, rustling joy!
Looking down from above, a long plain black poplin skirt and my foot sticking out from under the bottom tier. Tan carpet (that needs vacuuming) and on the far left a wrought iron padded boudoir bench with cream upholstery . Looking down from above, a plain green poplin skirt with my foot stocking out u derbthe ruffled tier. Tan carpeting (that definitely needs a vacuum). The black skirt is sitting on the boudoir bench from previous image and there's a pair of black shoes under the bench and a peek of a colorful tote bag.
