my lock screen shows that it is 8:02 and it's a picture from last night with red yellow and green Aurora behind a darkened horizon of trees with no leaves

Stars!
Stars with a little green aurora in the bottom left corner, as a treat The Eastern sky, with aurora on the left side corner of the photo. Ear the top right of the photo you can clearly see the star cluster at the top of the Taurus constellation.

Currently freezing my ass off, but every time I attempt to go back in the house something like this happens
Amazing green and red aurora borealis over a black woods line

Yes. Have gone in multiple times to click Rude back on and off again to make sure it wasn't somehow stuck.

Silvadene really is magic.

This truly was that giant red long welted burn I put in that diagram last night.
The heel of my hand with a relatively small, (tiny really) red burn mark.

In case any of you thought I was exaggerating about having a giant vat of silvadene, I put it in front of a gallon of milk.
A giant medium-blue container with a white screw-off lid on a fridge shelf in front of a half full gallon of milk. The blue container is about half gallon sized.

Burned the fuck out my right (dominant) hand and it hurts like a bitch.

This is literally the greatest explanatory image to accompany an article in the entire history of time.

The final shot of Unforgiven - a sunset with shadowed items in the foreground - from left to right: an abandoned cabin, clothing flapping on a line, a tree, and William Munny is standing at the grave of his dead wife, hat in hand, saying goodbye. Text on the screen reads: And there was nothing on the marker to explain to Mrs. Feathers why her only daughter had married a known thief and murder, a man of notoriously vicious and intemperate disposition.

It totally needs to be your next watch. It was unhinged in the absolute best cuckoo bananas way. (My mother would make us turn the channel when the syndicated played reruns were on in the afternoons in the mid 80s - it was still edgy half a decade after it was off the air.)

Of interest to you -

A sugar maple tree in the left foreground with grayish bark & some branches that are shadowed so they appear black has leaves that are faded green and a rusty orange. In the background to the right are two similarly colored maples.

Didn't know today is World Mental Health Day. Coincidentally, had to take a mental health day off of work today (usually feel bad about it but it's affecting my physical health too, so.)
At the top, large black text on a white background reads WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY 2025. The bottom 2/3 of the image have a bluish royal purple colored background. There is a little image of the Earth with a smile smiley face on it wrapped closely in a green ribbon with purple tax that matches the background that reads "world mental health day 10 OCT" Below there in small white text : World Mental Health Day takes place every year on 10 October. It’s a reminder of the importance of good mental health and the need to prioritise and invest in good mental health.

Almost didn't want to post it because now the secret is out.

Happy to be the Matthew Lillard of the flick, tho.

I think I broke Firefox. 😂😂😂
A screenshot of the Firefox browser on my phone. It's open to the Versailles web page, and at the bottom there a number usually appears to tell me how many tabs I have open, there is an infinity symbol.

Highlighted portion of text reads: Pritzker when asked about reports of law enforcement officers firing at a woman who 'rammed' their vehicle: "Well, we don't have a lot of facts. What happens in these sorts of incidents is, typically, ICE puts out a press release before anybody else can speak with the press, and then it gets reported on social media and elsewhere. Remember, these are the same folks who killed a person, an unarmed person, just a couple of weeks ago in Franklin Park. At first, they said that the officer had been threatened with his life. The reality of it and the truth of it has now come out, and that wasn't the case. They killed somebody. So, here, it's really hard to know exactly what the facts are. And they won't let us access the facts. They are just putting out their propaganda, and then we have got to later determine what actually happened."|

This cake is ridiculous. (My sister melted ghiradelli chocolate and used it in the frosting.)

Not pictured: pumpkin cupcakes w/cream cheese frosting, apple spice cupcakes, and pumpkin pie + chocolate chip cupcakes.
Two chocolate cakes in the shape of a 3 and a 0 - covered in chcolate frosting and a bunch of candy - caramel squares, ghiradelli chocolate squares, macaroons, and others
