He definitely was. He normally doesn’t like anyone but us, and suddenly anyone who wanted could pet him.

Ready to fuck up some fungus

Ok, I’m at a @xavierbecerra.bsky.social rally. I couldn’t bring myself to watch endless debate vids and I don’t want to judge just by social media. I’m looking forward to hearing him speak and answer audience questions, but also I’m pretty sure he is the candidate I like best.

I’m enjoying this age when we’re getting to have more complex conversations with our kids. Also my husband rules.

A text conversation about my husband and my 11 year old.

Me: if you get this, where are you?
Husband: We are just cruising around the neighborhood in a grid pattern, talking about toxic masculinity.
Me: Best text ever.

My kids made their own signs for #nokings today 🥹 They got bored super quickly, and we only stayed for about an hour and a half, but they got to see how important it is to show up. I’m so proud of them.

A sign on a bamboo pole that says, “NO Trump I.C.E” and has a drawing of a crown and an iceberg in two opposite corners with lines drawn through them.

A white piece of paper taped to cardboard that says, in young kid handwriting, “Segragators dont belong in our office and kings dont either,” with a crown inside a red circle with a red line through it drawn on the bottom left corner.

I’m telling you this liner brush has STORIES.

A white person’s hand holds a beat up, half broken liner brush that looks like it has lined satan’s butthole, but it was the probably at least 50 years ago

The InterPositive system builds an AI model based on an existing production's dailies, then lets a filmmaker introduce that model into the postproduction process to provide the ability to do things like mix and color, relight shots, and add visual effects, Affleck explained.

"Our relationship with artists has always been grounded in trust: supporting the full range of their creativity and ensuring they have the power to decide how their films and shows are made," Bajaria said

Surprising absolutely no one, I’m in love with this color puzzle game where you have to reorder the pieces into color order. But tonight I looked up from an advanced all pink puzzle, and discovered that my husband had turned green. I love perceptual color!

An example of a multi color tile puzzles game, wherein it scrambles up many of the tiles, and you have to use the remaining fixed tiles to put the rest back in order. This one includes a range of colors covering most of the Roy G Biv rainbow, if slightly less vibrant.

Sounds good, so long as I don’t become a part of the Marie Antoinette class somehow.

I manage and train the dancers at a strip club in Atlanta after I had to take a break from headlining to have a double mastectomy- but I’m desperately trying to find my ex girlfriend and co-headliner after she disappeared in mysterious circumstances. (Boom Town by Nic Stone)

My dog trying to convince me that if I take him on my run this time he definitely won’t lunge at every other dog or stop constantly to mark territory.

As well as building distance has been going, I’ve been sort of dreading crossing the five mile threshold today. It wasn’t so different from running 4.7 two weeks ago, though. Gotta figure out some booty pain, but nothing I can’t handle/successfully ignore until it gets worse.

After years of neighborhood hullabaloo, I had my first encounter with an LA coyote on my run this morning. Poor thing had a bad front leg and was limping. They’re a breath away from being our pets, I just wanted to take it home, tuck it into a soft bed, and feed it kibble. The crow is a paid actor.

I got to read my favorite book from childhood to my kids over the weekend. Thanks @espnjockjams.bsky.social! I hadn’t read it in probably more than 35 years, and it was very illustrative as to how I was indoctrinated (complimentary). It shall hold a place of honor on my shelves!

I was holding the ladder for my husband and my dog came over to help! He just walked up and put his little paws on the rung like, “oh, dis wut we doin?”

The camera perspective is looking down a woman’s body at her leg propped on a ladder. Next to her with his paws on the ladder is an adorable little Jack Chi named Sparky.

My sign, which says, “NO ICE,” and has a red circle with a slash over a cartoon ice cube, in front of a crowd of people protesting and holding signs.

Two people hold signs out of a car window. One says No Kings and has a drawing of a crown with a red x through it; the other says Grifters Aren’t Patriots with a drawing of a vomiting emoji.

Favs from the No Kings protest in my LA suburb.

Sign says, “Kiss Already” and “no kings” and features a cartoon of Trump and Hitler kissing

A man holds up a sign saying, “Hot Dads Hate Fascist.”

A woman holds up a sign saying, “You want to reach democracy? You’ll have to go through ME first.” It features a drawing of a woman standing firm, wearing a dress that looks like the American flag.

I’ve never been very good at drawing, so I’m a little too proud of that ice cube 😂

***THESIS WATCH UPDATE*** I have to go back and skip through the first 27 movies watched, so I can check for a category I added late. BUT! I’m done watching the 62 movies I chose to analyze for my research. 🎉🎉🎉 *insert air horn noises*

Ariel@arielsara· May 19

Thesis Watch Update! I’ve been really busy, but tonight I finally watched my 52nd movie. “Portrait of a Lady on Fire” is the most glorious sapphic romance about a painter falling in love with her subject in 1770 France. And every single frame looks like a painting!

Two white women, one with brown hair and one with blonde, share an intimate moment as they admit their desire for each other. The blonde woman is behind the brunette and caresses her face while speaking into her ear. They appear to be lit by candles.

Three women work at a kitchen table in front of a fire. One chops mushrooms, one pours tea, and one embroiders. They are outlined by the warmth of the hearth behind them.

Two women sit side by side on a bench in front of a harpsichord, their backs to the camera; their heads turned toward each other. Their look at each other seems to convey hesitant longing.

A woman stands in front of a window, with gauzy blue curtains between the camera and her.

Some of my favorite signs at the hands off protest in Los Angeles today.

A black sign over the top of a crowd of people depicts a cartoon Trump as the emperor with no clothes. He wears a crown and carries a staff topped with the nazi swastika.

A crowd of protestors and a few signs. The two in the foreground say, “No Kings in the U.S.” and, “This shit is so OBVIOUS.”

Two older protestors sit and hold signs together. One says, “Don’t let our progress get trumped.” The other depicts the figure of Justice and the Statue of Liberty, and it says, “BRING OUR LADIES BACK!!”

A cardboard sign with computer printed black lettering in a white background says, “They’re committing these crimes in your name.” It’s held on a short stick by a hand.

I just need the world to know that I got these for Christmas, charged them immediately, have worn them at least 3 hours a week, and they still say, “Battery Full” every time I put them on.

Hey, it's Rare Disease Day! Since one of the most important people in my life has a rare disease, I'm sure you can imagine what it feels like to see the NIH gutted. Advancement can't happen without funding. Breakthroughs can't happen without funding. Hail Marys can't happen without funding.

I’m so hot for this. Office 2.0 is in the works! It’s a lot like Office Original Flavor, but slightly better organized.

Oh.

A screen grab from the internet that includes a picture of a white woman with brown hair and says, “What happened to Mary Richardson Kennedy?
Al Overview
Mary Richardson Kennedy died by suicide in 2012. She was the estranged wife of Robert F. Kennedy
Jr.
How did she die?
• She hanged herself at the family's estate in
Bedford, New York.
• An autopsy found antidepressants in her blood.”

Sparky is keeping me company while I convalesce.

I ran that 5k I’ve been training for this morning! It could not have gone better, I’m really proud of my time and how I feel after. Ready to sign up for my next! Thank you, @seaweedla.bsky.social for the encouragement and company! We cute.
