One whole year with Hettie! She followed us home a year ago and never looked back (okay, she looked back once, but came running home after she realized it was cold and she liked free food).
Happy Gotcha Day, Hecate :)

Very nice she apologized for "toxic politics"; but it's gonna take more than one vague generalized apology with zero accountability (which was only said once somebody was mean to her) for me to forget about everything else.

Went to Carnegie-Mellon Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh to check out their herbarium with @botanicalbecks.bsky.social this week. Got spicy pork ramen at Fujiya Ramen in Oakland and it was awesome. Chewy noodles, great broth, great pork. Half egg was a downer, and the price was high. 7.5/10

Sourdough french toast filled with homemade raspberry mocha whipped cream and top this Saturday morning. Side of blackberries and crispy bacon. 7/10, whipped cream tasted good but needs some work on the texture side.
