Today’s MapTap game concluded with some facts about Peace Pilgrim, who I had never heard of. This quote is a remedy for our time. For all time. Today I will work to be a little bit better. 💛
These sound amazing. I love the collage of failed jalebi! Reminds me of macaron disaster diagrams (too well acquainted with every possible ruined macaron) like these
Kane has beleaguered middle manager vibes He needs you to come work this weekend
The rotation fell apart right before entering our area. Round 2 starts soon.
Don’t know who needs to hear this but Neko Atsume (yes the one from 10 years ago) came out with a second, similar game. I’ve been playing it since last summer, and it’s a delightful throwback. If you play Neko Atsume 2, hmu and share your yard code!
I’m hoping the right people find me here. The shape of my life is changing a lot, and I felt I was going under down with the ship for a long while. Now I feel like I’ve got my sea legs and want to embrace the evolution. Thanks for stopping by.
Rarely does the F*x N*ws blaring at the gym provide me with anything other than indigestion but today… MOAR! MOAAAARRRRR
People ask me why I want to work abroad. This is why. If I’m going to be underpaid, if there are no benefits and no security, then I want access to functioning public transportation and healthcare.
Mama (who was a tiny poult 2 years ago) brought her brood for the first time today 🥹
similar to the way the kfc logo looks like a giant head on a tiny stick figure body
Same vibes. According to the woman in the video, it’s the same fish each time 😂
lol some of the DM replies to that design request must have used the same ai to respond to my DM- the prose sounded fake, but also about 90% of the words were identical Best part? Bots or people using ai with “no ai” in their blurb 🙃
This is one of the turkeys who likes to hang out on the patio. She is very sweet and makes the neatest little sounds when she eats the seeds and nuts we put out for her.
Anyone remember that Futurama where Fry gets a vending machine egg salad sandwich
The first hummingbird of the year came by to inform me the feeder was NOT up and that the MANAGER will HEAR about this. Could not make that 4 to 1 water to sugar mix fast enough, friends.
In case anyone hasn’t seen this gem, I think of it like 700 times a day.
This morning’s bumblebee rescue. The weather has been oscillating, killing lots of plants and the animals who depend on them. I keep finding weak, drowsy bumblebees in the barn, so I let them rest until it’s warm out, feed them a sugar solution, and place them in a sunny flower after they revive. 🐝
She has a podcast with Michael Hobbes called Maintenance Phase that takes a humorous, compassionate, rigorous look at wellness culture in an unexpectedly delightful way. Enclosing a screenshot to give you an idea of the stuff the cover!
Gotta say, NPR’s Throughline podcast is a wonderful, confronting retrofit of the historical narrative many of us received and accepted as complete. Here’s a screenshot of their last handful of episodes:
That first bit 😮💨 the utter unseriousness of these people has me in a laughing/crying/panic cycle
