Finally used up the egg whites I've been saving in the freezer for yonks and made a scratch angel food cake. Not my most favorite cake ever, but it is something to do with all the egg whites you've been saving in the freezer for yonks.

My lovely scratch angel food cake I just now made is resting on a cooling rack.

Pick a Bond from photos you already have on your device. I think @jortsthecat.bsky.social would make a handsome and dashing James Bond.

All I have energy for today, so you know I'm not shopping either. School and work just aren't things anymore in my world. Anyhoo, it's #MayDay and #Beltane, and this applies to both. #solidarity

As for keeping up, our school had all kinds of literacy programs going on, and I was just a natural part of that. This was my classroom library at the end of my career--over 2500 titles! I'm not as invested now in even trying to keep up, and I donated my library to my grandkid's private school.

My classroom library before I retired, with over 2500 books and flexible seating.

Lordy, guess I'm finally famous enough around here to make a block list. Proud it's this one, for sure.

A screenshot of an account page on Bluesky showing that some rando dude named Rafael Pinto has blocked me for being anti-AI. He's not wrong.

Poor Beans and his skin allergies and recurring yeast infections. I wonder how much of the side effect from the ketoconazole is simply that he can sleep better as it eases the itch. He's such a hot mess.

My dog Beans, a Shiba Inu, is wearing is pink sprinkled donut ring and looking otherwise sad and despondent from itchy skin allergies.

Wolf Moon picks up where Cat Moon left off. The worst has happened, and now the prominent, wealthy Devlin family faces catastrophe on all fronts Can a frivolous, spoiled teenager find a way to save them? Short answer, no. Long answer, yes. Check out the mood board. #paranormal #YA #booksky #kidlit

A sepia-toned mood board with nine sections: an unshaven man looking down, a full moon through fog and trees, a priest sitting with his hands together with a missal on his lap, a fire in an old-fashioned grade, a wolf pup, an old staircase going up, a graveyeard, and young Victorion woman looking out a window, a broken dish with text that says "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina.

Three Spidermen stand at a circle pointing at each other. One of the Spidermen is covered with a black rectangle so you can't tell it's a Spiderman. Just like the redacted Epstein files.

I want everyone to post their hometown slop (if you don't have a cuisine that qualifies then your town has zero culture). HI, MAY I HELP YOU? I give you the Kansas City, Kansas, Burnt Ends Sandwich. Freaking delicious.
