LOOK AT THIS I WASN'T EXAGGERATING

Also this sign seems like it is kind of NOT the thing you want if you're close to an actual beach, because that's not really a long way to love someone? BABE I LOVE YOU ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY AND BACK

Sole Cost Plus mistake(ish). I bought this mug online, thinking it would be a cool little present for my mom, only to find that this damn thing is the size of a Stein. My largest coffee cup could fit inside this beast. I'm afraid that if my mom filled this with coffee, IT MIGHT KILL HER

Also got the dino mug because WHAT ARE YOU CRAZY OF FUCKING COURSE I DID

UPDATE. They got me. YEEFUCKINHAW I GOT NO REGRETS

I'm losing my fucking will to fight it I'm way too close to being like I GIVE THE FUCK UP, GIMME THAT COWBOY CAT MUG RIGHT FUCKING NOW, I BOW TO YOUR QUIRKINESS PLEASE TAKE MY MONEY

Btw this is the plant And no it's off center as a stylistic choice and not because my goddamn phone keeps popping up the volume thing when I try to that a screenshot (And if you thought that's messy you should see the length of the link, oof) It's from Epic Gardening & is called "Quick Snack" GET IT

Do you want cazadores? BECAUSE THIS IS HOW YOU GET CAZADORES

I kinda have one for my Cintiq (technically a 4th monitor) and it's very handy to move around but I don't think I have the equipment to rock 3 more

Am I a bad person for seeing this picture and immediately going "wait, WHO failed Torgo?" (I'm sorry, The Guardian, I am a product of my nerdy media upbringing)

ME: That ADHD video is interesting - I can't have it tho, because I have XYZ INTERNET: Actually XYZ are distinctive symptoms for how ADHD often manifests in women vs. men ME: ...um

Holy hell YES FINALLY I GET TO PLAY THIS it's so rad and @erikaishii.bsky.social did such an amazing job AAAA SO BADASS :D

I also got some small beets, a few green onions, a bunch of other peppers like a handful of Pippins' Golden Honey, Ot Hiem, and an Aleppo I plan to dry alongside the many others outside that are still green and I hope HURRY UP AND GET COLOR BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE

I don't like the fall. Lots of stuff dying. The light turning that faded gold that feels like doom to me. Cold weather forcing me to burrow away my tank tops. My garden fading. But it is a comfort to get a harvest even as things close out. I could've done better, but I've DEFINITELY done worse!

AHA, that's a Great Blue Lobelia - in the bellflower family! I'm most familiar with _Lobelia erinus_ (which is this floofy boi) That's a bigger plant family than I was aware of! Coooool :)

My boy Chuck maintains my work life balance by starting a schedule of boofing his head on my leg starting at 5:45 PM and increasing in frequency as it approaches his food hour of 7 PM. Cats are creatures of habit and they will MAKE YOU BE ONE TOO

The kitty boy snoozing. Him also snoring. :)

Hey friends. The world is nightmarish. But if you live in Seattle and need tomato plants, maybe this b here can actually help you out. (That is to say I have a lot of extra tomato plants to share, pretty much all sauce and cherry but I got a few slicers just cuz)

WAY too proud of myself for making this joke

Sunset after 8 PM in Seattle, and enjoying an evening outside admiring the tulips and savoring the smells of brats & onions cooked in (gluten free) beer. Enjoy beauty. (And destroy fascism in all its forms) (Then enjoy more beauty)

Trying desperately to show off this idea in practice without revealing too much of the secret Casa de VanderThompson

This is my boi Chuck. He's gonna be 11 in about a month. He is 12 lbs and should be 9-10. I don't overfeed him, he's just a big lazy kitty. And him SNORE. I love the dork.

Bless @demofox.bsky.social for posting this in response to my demand (which is as the picture says)
