And Oswald! #d23

Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, a little grayscale bunny who was the predecessor to Mickey Mouse, examines an ink bottle on Walt Disney’s desk in a screencap from the upcoming series.

I'll forever be creeped out by the Pinterest outfit posts that include a floating head which indicates how you should wear your hair.

Screenshot of a pin that says "Back to School Amazon Teacher Outfit." It shows a denim sleeveless shirt, brown jeans, jewelry, brown glasses, an iced coffee and at the top right, a cutout of the back of someone's head. The hair is perfectly styled with long golden brown layers, accentuated by extensions.

Summer is the best season and I’m glad I have a dog who agrees with me.

A medium sized black and white dog happily rolls on the green grass. There are red flowers at the top left of the photo, and a small fruitless lemon tree at the bottom right.

MIL: what book did you get? Me, age 53: IT’S A BOOK ABOUT HOCKEY.

It’s a Kid Rock-ing chair.

A fake wood rocking chair in front of Cracker Barrel. It’s blue with red and white slats. ‘Murica.

I didn’t plant a veggie garden this year and this happened.

A nest of baby rabbits nestled among leaves. There are four visible but five total.

Two little bunny ears sticking out from the leaves.

An adventurous little bunny under some weeds in my unkempt garden bed.

My first ever completed pencil-on-paper Sudoku puzzle. I won’t tell you how many times I had to erase it all and start over

My dog Murphy lying on the ground next to the cot I bought so that he wouldn’t have to lie on the ground.

A medium sized green dog cot with raised legs, about 3” off the ground. Murphy, a black and white spaniel, is in front of it. He is handsome, but kind of a knob.

Is this kind of reading a middle-aged thing?

Kim is holding up “Interaction of Color,” a 1963 educational book by Josef Albers.

I play with AI at work so you don’t have to. These are results from Copilot. I hate to break this to you, but the FIXED file is still wrong.

Murphy hasn't vomited (other than the occasional doofy "drink all the water in the bowl, run like a screwball outside, and spit it back up" shenanigan) since early April. He's back on his joint supplements meaning he's feeling peppier as well, contrary to photographic evidence.

A black and white spaniel snoozing on his back on my sofa, oblivious of the thousands of dollars spent and hours of tears shed since March.

Me, without even a click: Those are Entenmann's donuts.

Inside the cover the stuffing is contained in a pillow made of very thin cloth. I ripped the seam opposite of the zipper side of the cushion enough to fit my hand in, shoved the filling in, and then crudely sewed it back shut. This way if my sewing fails, the filling won’t be near the zipper.

The bag is pretty heavily taped. 😈

Kim innocently holding a bag of polyfill. The bag is heavily taped down the middle. It reminds you of the early days of the internet.

5) Thank you for loving Murphy.

And for the guy clutching his pearls because Bluesky likes are down on the truncated graph he showed: This is what Instagram engagement looks like. I'd rather be here.

My garden.

A snowy backyard. There are mounds of snow that hide raised garden beds. It’s picturesque but exhausting.

This is who runs this account.

Kim, possibly age 3, wearing a Mickey mouse shirt, blue pants, and the ubiquitous 1970s white baby shoes, in front of a console TV with Halloween blowmold decor. It's off center because it was film and there were no do-overs. This photo is peak 1970s.

Seriously. This one is burned into my brain.

an old palmolive commercial with the actor playing madge holding a bottle of palmolive. The text says "You're soaking in it!"

I had to.

(The cardboard box contained rubber o-rings.) Voilà! The final steps show you how to make the lamp balance on the ball!

The completed lamp, “balanced” on the ball, with the box, the instruction manual, and the leftover pieces.

Finally, bag 4! The little cardboard boxes always intrigue me.

A bevy of multicolor Lego bricks and the plastic bulb housing of the lamp.

Kim R@kimberussell· Dec 29

Bag 3 contained both the body of the lamp and the “what have I gotten myself into?” moment of the build.

Kim R@kimberussell· Dec 29

Bag 3!

Lego bricks sorted by color. Mostly white and shades of gray. Some are silvery.

Kim R@kimberussell· Dec 29

Bag 2 was the base of the lamp.

The underside, with red, yellow, and blue bricks.

Bag 2!

Lego sorted by color. Mostly white this go round.

Kim R@kimberussell· Dec 29

Bag 1 complete! They took a build that could have been boring and added a sweet Easter Egg-ish aspect to the inner parts. I won’t spoil it, but loved it.
