A small bird in the parking lot of a local park, standing in front of a discarded cigarette and a pile of sprinkles. (It opted for the sprinkles, in case you were wondering.)

I’ve really been enjoying the flowering trees at the park this year. 🤍

Found some cuties at the park today. 🤍

White blossoms on a tree, set against a blue sky. A welcome sign of spring!

Meme text written over an image of a beach: “Hate your job? Hate your family? Have problems? Need to leave? Go in the wet. Step into it and never leave! Go there! The wet will love you. No problems in the wet. Just water. It’s salty! The wet doesn’t have capitalism. Just go in the wet.”

new pen day 🌸

Close-up of the uncapped fountain pen against grid paper. Pen has splotches of color in the resin: a peachy pink, white, black, and gold. Some parts of the resin are clear, allowing you to see through to the nib and cartridge/converter. (Leonardo Momento Zero in Corricella & Gold, extra-fine nib.)

I didn’t expect to end the year at a hockey game with friends, but honestly, it was pretty great. Cincinnati crushed Indy, the indoor fireworks were actually cool, and the creepy mascot stayed far away from me. Happy New Year, Bluesky cuties! 🪩✨

View of the hockey arena right after the game ended, with the Jumbotron showing “Cyclones win!” The Cincinnati players are all gathering in the middle to celebrate their victory.

The hockey rink has multiple indoor fireworks shooting up from the ground and flames erupting from pyrotechnic devices.

The Cyclones mascot, Twister, is on the ice, staring at some flames from the pyrotechnic device. From the neck down, he looks like a normal hockey player, but his head is some sort of plush tornado monstrosity with crazy eyes.

A sweatshirt featuring illustrations of a slice of Portillo’s chocolate cake and a Portillo’s chocolate cake shake. Text on the sweatshirt reads, “the cake to my shake.”

I am blissfully unaware, tybm

Bluesky has (correctly) decided that I am too fragile to read any posts today, and tbh, this is a gentle parenting feature I would pay for

A screenshot of the Bluesky app before content has properly loaded, showing just light grey circles in place of avatars and light grey lines in place of words. Kinda cute, tbh

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? (I feel pretty great about this situation, tbh.)

WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE AN AGGRESSIVE NUDGE, OH NO

A screenshot from one of the nudge recipients, showing that my Duolingo character sent a notification with the message: “You know what this is about.”

I listened to the Grammar Girl podcast episode about the new CMOS and realized that I need more friends who gasp a little bit when talking about punctuation marks. (The new phone is also nice, but I haven’t gasped about it yet.)

Is this word puzzle flirting with me? 🥰

The daily NYT Connections puzzle, which includes the word “hedgehog” today.

Ordered some jewelry from a new friend, and omg, she customized the packaging with a hedgehog and pink accents (and pink mini art)! Eee! I’m crying. 🥹 (awartanddesign.com)

Finally got my hair done for the first time in months, and I love it. Went for a darker balayage. 😍 P.S. Yes, all of my t-shirts are from blood donations. It’s a vibe.

If you aren’t starting your year with Giordano’s pizza, what are you even doing?

Get you a bestie 1) who knows your favorite candy only comes out at Easter and buys 800 bags to dole out during the rest of the year and 2) who fully supports your mad dream to start Twitch streaming (and even remembers your idea to end each stream with a bedtime story). THANK YOU, @tdf.wtf!!!
