I made a fun little ghost painting yesterday since it's basically Halloween.

Acrylic painting of a cute lil ghost on a dark navy blue background, with yellow stars.

AI slop needs to be banned in school. I'm PAYING to be here, and this is the shit I'm presented with for assignments? I'm so fucking mad. It doesn't help that the professor hasn't responded to my emails in over a week.

Screenshot of an AI generated meal plan photo. It reads, "Nutrition tips, Protein Intake & Meal Prep" It shows a plate of grilled veggies, a shit ton of salmon, and hard boiled eggs with "nutrition labels" next to them. They say "Protein: 28g, Pretsin: 25g, Protein: 15g". Next to it is a granola bar and 3 containers. The containers read, "Bay 3 Lonch Chicken & Qutnea" "Day 8 Droner, Steak and Sweet Potato" and "Day 6 Dinner: Icele 6 Veggie Sht-fly"

This girl turned 3 yesterday, and now she's cuddling with her new birthday ball after a fun game of fetch.

A super cute, black Australian cattle dog laying on a sheep skin rug, cuddling her new tennis ball. There is a wooden bench to her left and the legs of chairs to her right.

Kazem sent me more photos of the structure he's building for his family to protect them from the elements and animals. He needs more funds to complete it. Please donate and share to help this beautiful family.

A shelter made of beams and wood, covered in tarp, built by Kazem for his family.

An angle showing another part of the shelter being built. It is unfinished and needs more siding.

The corrugated metal roof of the shelter.

One last angle, showing a bench, some more tarps sectioning off areas, and a large blue tub.

Is this an atlatl dart I found in SE Michigan? Or just a really cool rock. #archaeology #anthropology

We went out to eat to our favorite Mexican restaurant, and they gave out free chocolate cake and roses to all the moms. 😭

A red rose with bright green leaves sits in a Mason ball jar filled with water. Next it to it is a handmade ceramic dish that says "I ♥️ Mom" with a drawing of me and my daughter that she made for me. They both sit on a beautiful orange and black quilted table runner on a wood dinner table. Behind them sits a bowl of apples and part of an aloe plant.

My husband and I took the kids to a fundraiser for @abdulelsayed.bsky.social tonight. There was great food and people, AND they sent us home with 5 loaves of pumpkin bread. 10/10 would recommend

I really love the blossoms on our trees.

Bright pink blossoms with hints of white in the petals, with little tendrils poking out of the center. There are green leaves in the background. I think the tree is a flowering crab apple tree.

5 yr old: "Mom, why do we have a picture of Jesus?" me: "We don't. That's King Tut."

A wooden bust of King Tutankhamun painted gold, red, and blue, sitting on a black shelf. A silver framed photograph is in the background.

Kazem is a good man who is working so hard to take care of his parents and siblings. He's been injured multiple times already, and he really just needs a break. Three years of surviving a genocide. I can't imagine the toll it's taking on him.

Whatsapp exchange with Kazem from Gaza. He says, "Please, my friend, don't leave me alone. Yesterday, the rat almost bit Sarah. She remained terrified and crying throughout the night. I have already started building the shelter. But everything here is expensive due to the lack of resources. The crossings are closed and everything around is closed. The construction of the shelter requires iron and coverings that cost no less than two thousand dollars. I work day and night, but to no avail. I'm so fed up. 😭" Then I respond with, "Oh, Kazem!"

I was sober for 4 years and thought I could handle drinking again, but less than a year later, and I've decided to cut it out again. It turns out I'm just not capable of moderating myself. So cheers to the sober life.

Picture reads, "I've been alcohol free for" on a navy blue background, and "24 days" within a white circle in the middle of the frame.

Look at this strawberry we got in our carton today.

Picture depicts a strawberry and a red and green honeycrisp apple on a wooden table. The strawberry is freakishly huge and looks like three strawberries combined.

I still think it's wild that my husband builds an entire haunted house and graveyard each Halloween.

An approximately 10x20 foot structure covered in black tarp is sitting behind a table covered in orange cloth with candy bowls on it and little silver skull pathway markers in front. There is a blue Lions fold up chair behind the table and a handmade tombstone that reads, "Rest In Pieces HAUNTED HOUSE Oct 31 2024 GONE WITH THE WIND."

A grassy yard. On the right is part of a structure covered in black tarp, with KEEP OUT written in bloody red writing on the side. A ghost is floating near the door, and stacks of skulls mark the entrance. A handcrafted spooky fence is on the left side. In the background is a real fence, part of a green house, and part of a catio (a patio for a cat). There are leaves on the ground and some yellow leaves on the trees in the background.

Picture depicts the first "room" of the haunted house. There is a green animatronic witch wearing purple rags standing behind a cauldron. There are skulls decorating the wall on the left, and the table the cauldron is sitting on. A chain of bones hangs in front of the display. Behind the witch is a stone pattern wall.

Photo depicts a suburban front yard in the fall, all decked out with Halloween decorations. There are two ghouls, floating 5 feet above the ground. Next to them is a handcrafted spooky black fence with blow-up ghosts, dragons, and pumpkins. Behind it is a Jack Skellington archway next to a Lions fold up chair and a table with Halloween candy and a handmade tombstone on the ground beside it. Behind all of that is a large structure, covered with black tarp which makes up the outer walls of the haunted house. There are leaves on the ground, the sky is blue, there are yellow leaves on the trees, and part of a green house can be seen in the far back.

The elf is back and at it again!

A neighborhood kid gave this little guy to my son yesterday. I think his family is catching on that we're a bunch of godless heathens.

Photo contains a tiny figurine of Jesus with a sash that says, "Jesus ❤️ you", sitting on top of a laptop.

Another look at our haunted house we made.

Some photos from our haunted house this year. @nateorade.bsky.social

A homemade spooky fence with Halloween inflatables behind it. There is a Frankensteins monster, a pumpkin stack, a dragon, Jack Skellington as Santa, and a ghost. There is a skeleton and a blue car in the background.

My husband (with a little bit of my help) made a haunted house in our front yard again this year. It was a pretty big hit in the neighborhood.

Mackenzie (She/her)@khargs· Oct 26

Interior walls are up in the haunted house! Electrical and ceilings are going in soon, and then decorations! @nateorade.bsky.social

Mackenzie (She/her)@khargs· Oct 25

The structure is up, and the husband is putting up the inner walls. Decorating starts this week, and I'm so excited to get my witch room up!

Leave it to me to take the shakiest video ever, but the man getting arrested punched a woman & a man in the face. Both were peaceful protestors, & he came up, yelling at them to go away. He punched the woman, & then the man, and he looked genuinely surprised that we weren't going to let him leave.

I found this bad boy in my yard in SE Michigan. Super excited about it.

This is insane.

Donald Trump Truth Social post reads: "Pregnant Women, DON'T USE TYLENOL UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, DON'T GIVE TYLENOL TO YOUR YOUNG CHILD FOR VIRTUALLY ANY REASON, BREAK UP THE MMR SHOT INTO THREE TOTALLY SEPARATE SHOTS (NOT MIXED!), TAIE CHICKEN P SHOT SEPARATELT, TAKE HEPATITAS B SHOT AT 12 YEARS OLD, OR OLDER, AND, IMPORTANTLY, TAKE VACCINE IN 5 SEPARATE MEDICAL VISITS!

Thanks to the generosity of others, Kazem was able to afford a tent to shelter his family. They have made it south, but the bombings are still intense, and food costs are still going up. Any donation amount helps and is greatly appreciated. chuffed.org/project/1307...

Kazem, his parents, and 4 younger siblings are in the Sheikh Radwan area under seige. They are homeless, without a tent to sleep in or food to eat. Please, please donate or share to help this beautiful family. They are so good and kind. ❤️ #Gaza #freepalestine chuffed.org/project/1307...

Kazem says: "Here I am today, documenting my suffering from half of Gaza."

Kazem says: "And here is the tower under which I was displaced in a tent."

Pretty proud of this 7 foot tall sunflower I grew this summer.

A message from Miasser in Gaza: gofund.me/e5056c06

Message reads: "Hello my friend, danger is approaching us. Please help us. We are moving to a new place and need money to provide a new shelter. Please, I am afraid that my children will remain in the street. The cost of a tent is $600. Please help us. My area is in danger....Please help us, even if it is a small amount." Attached is a photo of Miasser and her two daughters.

It's been about 2 months since my old girl passed away. She would've been 17 now. I miss her so much. She was the best girl.
