There’s a queen (Saltina Shaker) on Canada’s Drag Race S6 who out of drag is totally giving Joe Elliot from Def Leppard and I’m obsessed. Am I thinking it’s time for a shag mullet in my life? 💯YES.

Standing next to Fever fans at this Lynx game and this is 💯 the case.

Rocking some new, deliciously trans colored bike shoes to the Lynx game.

And this is specifically the higher fencing for the garden (already transgressed by the hens) and higher/more fencing around the chicken run area (so far…24 hours in…keeping the doggos out 🤞), respectively.

I’m the lady in yer neighborhood yelling at her chickens for getting into the garden after she put up an extra tall fence to keep them out the garden and yelling at her dogs for getting into the area she fenced off to keep them away from the chickens. Just all around doing amazing over here!

…and getting acclimated to their new digs (and me - the weird new stranger in their lives) this morning. Offering delicious leftovers helps with bribing for friendship!

Here they are after getting put to bed post-transport:

Say hello to our biblically accurate angel (new flock of chickens!)

The culprit and the finger - just a smol chomp, and in her defense she wasn’t trying bite me but rather was trying to quickly get the chicken breast down her throat before I yeeted it away from her, which she largely succeeded at.

OMG HAVE YOU TRIED THIS STUFF (bonus Molly in the background!)?

Trash friends made it!

Waiting…hoping…

I’ve not been Instagram posting lately for reasons but these cuties need to be posted somewhere. Also don’t be fooled: the smol bean in this pic is functionally a heat-stoned alligator basking in the sun (space heater/sister’s fur) lookin all docile, but she ready to do a murder at a moment’s notice

Behold our mountain goat - not to be confused with @themountaingoats.bsky.social, but certainly as clever. This is also the doggo who’s been on anti-inflammatory meds because she’s getting arthritis in her shoulders - it’s clearly working great!

Just a friendly reminder that it is in fact not March 3rd but rather February 31st. Feb will continue until Feb 59th (60th in leap years), replacing the month formerly known as March which has demonstrated in multiple and sequential years that it is an unrelenting and annual disaster of a month.

hey @pwgtennant.bsky.social - thanks for your delightful talk at BU today on "Have DAGs Fulfilled their Promise in Epidemiology and Health Research?" One of my fav bits:

There’s now King Fu Panda who did a triple jump IN THIS OUTFIT and mimed fart-attacking his enemies Deadpool and the Mortal Kombat guy, then Jackie Chan showed up at the end and this is exactly what I’m talking about.

I was out on 🧊 patrol tonight w/3 new-to-patrolling ducklings and it was such nicetime. I usually patrol alone but we were the “VW bus of observers” tonight on the patrol call, plus did an assist at one point of another observer whose car got trapped on a tire (like it do).

Cautiously hopeful to see signs of thawing here in Minneapolis. Still plenty of dirty, shitty 🧊 to be shoveled, swept, ran the fuck out of town. But Minneapolis remains, we remain - with added ✨and ❤️‍🩹 of our strength, resilience, care and arctic chill levels of fuck you we won’t do what you tell us.

"Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for undead bullshit."

a shame - blue camo is such a soothing palette!

Correcting my last post (that I've now deleted): it appears that indeed the MN Nat'l Guard folks at the Whipple building providing protesters donuts and hot bevs was true and reported by @wcconews.bsky.social on IG (though it's not on their bsky account that I see):

Went upstairs for a minute, came back downstairs into the dining room to this. 😂 It’s not for no reason we call Junie our little mountain goat 🐐. This is a high top table. Granted there are tiny-dog steps on one side for Molly to get to her co-pilot seat next to where I usually sit/work.

Looking to take care of your neighbors in other ways? Who are your neighbors? Go check on them, ask them if they need errands run or groceries picked up to keep them from having to go out as much in the coming days. Share with them the MONARCA legal info line (651-372-8642).

Merry Xmas & Happy Holidays y’all🎄🥰

Here’s some nicetime of Junie sleep hooting after her dog daycare funtime day yesterday

I’m never been much of a manga or graphic novel reader (some/occasional - hi Heartstopper!) but just hasn’t much been a draw for me (see what I did there). But grazing at our fav bookstore today I was absolutely compelled to buy this gorgeous doorstop. Thinks it’s gonna be my 2026 chapter-a-day read

I was already pursuing an MPH as a means to jump tracks from my pointless/boring tech job, but hadn’t settled into a focus/interest. Then I happened to read this (for fun, not part of my studies) and I was immediately like “this is it - I’m going to be an environmental epidemiologist”

Welp soooo many things are legit genuinely terrible presently, but here's a nice damn thing: my first published article out of my postdoc position - and it's alllllll DEI and intersectionality and environmental exposures - oh my! journals.lww.com/environepide...
