What I'm wearing to the Bluesky Christmas party:
An image of tina turner in an amazing chainmail dress and gloves from the movie Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. I could never pull this off, but if I could, this is what I'd be wearing to the Bluesky Christmas party.

A stand of mostly leafless trees with at least 7 vultures perched on two branches and one on the ground below. The sky is a brilliant cloudless blue.

Hey NC friends, we're back to very high levels of COVID in Wastewater. Time to change behavior and mask up in public indoor spaces.

(Data from here: covid19.ncdhhs.gov/dashboard)
The COVID-19 Wastewater Monitoring chart from NCDHSS's covid monitoring dashboard. It shows that as of 8/30, COVID levels in wastewater in NC hit 8.0 which is considered Very High.

Newton also says hi.
A black and silver dapple long haired dachshund named Newton is on his back with his little brown paws in the air on his fluffy dog bed. His head is spilling over the side with his snoot facing the camera, head upside down and ears pointing to the ground. He's 100% relaxed and 100% an adorable little gremlin.

I will NEVER forget Bobby Frasor! My bestie and I used to chant his name at games in the style of "Let's go Tar Heels *clap clap clap-clap clap".

But exhibit 2: Wes Miller.
An action shot taken of Wes Miller when he was number 22 for UNC Basketball. Both feet are slightly off the ground and he's staring intently off-camera with the basketball touching his left hand (mid-dribble). He's in his UNC white uniform.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

I can't decide if this means I'm totally safe or totally screwed.
Poster from Peacock's original series The Day of the Jackal. It shows the two main characters played by Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch looking determined against a red background with the show title and the subtitle "The hunter, hunted."

"You will be visited by three spirits"

The three spirits:
A still shot of Yacko, Wacko, and Dot from the 90s cartoon Animaniacs. All three are grinning and holding their arms up in a shrug. Wacko appears to be emerging from a cannon.

A Merry Christmas Adam to you all!
A post from tumblr. All capitalizations/lack of capitalization are in the original. The conversation reads: christmas eve what about christmas adam happy christmas adam to all men's rights activists Please stop pestering us with things like this. This has nothing to do with fighting for their rights. Even is short for 'evening'. Please don't turn activism into a joke. Thanks. Someone isn't having a very good christmas adam Christmas Adam: December 23rd. Comes before Christmas Eve and is generally unsatisfying. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR DECEMBER 23RD TO POST THIS.

Evidence of Newton chilling.
My dog Newton (long-haired dachshund) chilling while renovation work happens loudly upstairs. He's wrapped in a green, yellow, and red plaid blanket with just his head sticking out. He's staying calmly on my lap at my desk while I work. Unbothered.

Some puppy is happy to be home from grandma camp.
A little silver dapple dachshund named Newton is curled up on the couch nestled against my leg. He is extremely snuggled.

Timeline cleanse! The side eye is strong with this one!
A black and silver dapple dachshund is curled up very tightly in a ball giving epic puppy side eye. He thinks you might be trying to move him from the couch and he does not approve.

I was going to feed him, but since he's insisted on lap time I guess we live at my desk now.
The face of a dachshund who knows my lap is just a bonus dog bed. In the foreground you can see Newton's black and tan muzzle. He looks super proud of himself. Behind him you can see my blue shirt and grey sweatshirt and one arm of my office chair.

Welcome to Friday. You've nearly made it through the week. He's my little buddy Newton with some cuteness to get you closer to the finish line. Timeline cleanse!
A black a silver dapple tweenie dachshund with very long ears lays in front of a gate with his front paws off the ground and his head raised. He wants you to either take him outside or give him belly rubs. Or both. Why not both.

This is my dearly missed pup, Max, having a little snooze. It is an insane amount of cuteness in one photo and I thought folks might need a timeline cleanse.
A crazy-cute red long haired tweenie dachshund (his fur is more of a golden color) is snoozing on a fuzzy blue blanket. His back paws are curled up under him and his little front paws are together sticking out in front of him. He looks super peaceful and I want to snuggle this picture.

Me: I need to buckle down and be productive.

Also Me: What can I work on that will disturb Newton the least.
