Exploring my new city and finding so many great restaurants! These are just a few.

You can see the haze in the streetlights now. Both kids’ camps are cancelled tomorrow. This is the worse air quality warning I’ve ever been in.

Wildfire smoke has made it to Pittsburgh. Very hazy and smells smoky.

RIP to a real one.

I have bad handwriting, but I can usually decipher my own stuff. This is the first one I’m lost on. Any guesses on that last word?

A scrawl on a box, followed by the words “Den stuff +” and then something that looks like it starts with an f and ends with an ing.

Heavy bellend representation on the feed right now. I should use that word more:

Two posts in a row that use the word bellend

Nice. We’ve got cookie cutters. The top one is supposed to be a “pot of gold, with cloud and rainbow”. Yeah.

Two cookie cutters. The one on top is supposed to be pot of gold, etc, and the bottom one is a cock and balls. They both look very suggestive.

My frost Custodes!

A group of custodian guard and a shield captain in terminator armor. Everything is painted in blue and black icy colors either snow bases.

Vertus praetor shield captain and some witchseekers, same paint style.

More custodian guard, a blade champion, and some Allarus terminators, all in the icy style.

Ooh, great paint! I used it for my synthwave Eldar.

Woo! It’s here - @zachweinersmith.bsky.social ‘s latest. So excited to give it a read! Also, might be the last package I get at this house before moving.

A book cover, “SAWYER LEE
AND THE QUEST TO JUST STAY HOME” held in a hand in front of a moving box.

"I'm strong and I want to have like fifty kids and a farm" of course you do. You're twelve.
"I don't want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal" hell yeah homie you're twelve. "Maybe if there's crime we should just send the army" bless your heart my twelve year old buddy

Livestream and chill.

Apropos of chuds being mad again, here’s my buddy’s hello kitty themed chaos army! I wish I had some better pictures, but there are some cat girls in there too.

Pink hello kitty space marines with glitter bases fighting a foetid bloat drone.

A big Atropos style knight, rhino, an old forge world dreadnaught I forget the name of, and some noise marines in hello kitty paint and glitter behind some scatter terrain.

Hello kitty terminators and rhino based marines ready to charge into combat.

Good synchronicity on the timeline.

Beautiful mammatus clouds in Santa Fe right now! #nmwx

A grey sky full of swirling lumpy clouds above a dark green treeline.

Brian@beerandrockets· May 29

Just had one of the wildest cloudbursts I’ve ever seen here in Santa Fe. A double rainbow, followed by grape sized hail, and then sheets of rain which flash flooded the streets. #nmwx

A double rainbow over and adobe house against black skies. You can see some hailstones in the picture.

Front yard that looks like it’s covered in snow except it’s hailstones. The street is covered too and running like a river.

I’m out. Goodbye SFHS. And a few last memories. Stay classy, high school.

Silhouettes of where posters used to be on a wall.

A condom, turned into a water balloon hanging from the ceiling of the boy’s bathroom.

A note that I discovered in my classroom. It’s a checklist that reads:

Birthday-
piercings
Weed
Food
Hair dyed
Boyfriend
candy
Merch

Being able to give things away is such a blessing. I've acquired so much stuff over the 14 years I've been teaching here, and being able to give it away for free to my colleagues... The joy, the happiness, the relief that I see in their faces fills my heart. Support your local teachers, y'all.

Grading, and I highlighted part of a URL and accidently clicked on the little translate widget. Apparently, that's Welsh, and from what little I know about Welsh, I mean, maybe?

A jumble of letters and numbers from a URL is highlighted, and Google Translate asks if I want to translate it from Welsh.

Tech enthusiasts: My entire house is smart.

Tech workers: The only piece of technology in my house is a printer and I keep a gun next to it so I can shoot it if it makes a noise I don't recognize.

Stumbled across this picture I took on my computer, reminded myself of the time we just pulled the ripcord, drove halfway across the country to Mountain Home, Arkansas, and saw a total eclipse. Absolutely worth it, highly recommend.
