For those curious, here is my source list.

An absurdly detailed spreadsheet listing various actual specific animals, their name, species, location, age, birthday, and weight.

For example: giraffe, reticulated, birth; 130 lbs; Eugene, Toledo Zoo, born 1/17/2026.

Set a new personal deadlift record at the gym today (I lifted a baby giraffe!) so I can have a little ribeye again, as a treat

Steak sizzling in a cast iron pan with corn on the cob boiling in a pot behind it

Dinner, plated. Sun is pouring in the window to my left so the photo’s a wee bit over exposed, but please do not worry, the food still tastes amazing. Sliced steak and 2” corncobs piled on a blue and white china plate, with a small bowl of sliced peaches, and a glass of milk. (I crave milk when I eat beef, yes I know it’s weird.)

Photo of my record player, with a pale punk album playing, and the album cover leaning against the wall behind it. It reads “Kingmaker” by “Tami Neilson” with a folk art-woodblock-style image of a woman with a red horse coming out of her head.

One of the best things about summer—tomato bread salad (and leftover steak bc tomorrow is arm day)

A blue and white China bowl full of diced Italian bread and halved sungold cherry tomatoes, with a couple small rare slices of steak on the side

And I heard her mumble as she chowed down on dinner— Merry late June to all, and to all a good summer!

A homemade burger stacked tall with onion, tomato, and a glossy brioche bun, with a small dish of fresh shelled peas and a pink can of Hawaiian Sun’s pass-o-guava nectar. It’s a very beautiful still life if I say so myself.

I meant to take a pic of this beautiful burger after I had taken one strategic bite but I forgot. It was really good. I think I feel a little high?

Photo of the last bite of a burger on a blue and white plate. The plate is sopped in juices, the bun is squished and sliding off, there’s a random discarded coil of onion, and the meat is thick and mostly pink even though I swear Mom, I cooked it to 145°

My favorite month in Seattle is Juneuary. We have a couple hot days in May, I panic, then winter says don’t worry honey I won’t be far away

Photo of a vintage poster (on my wall) advertising an art show at the Galerie d’art de la place Beauvau in Paris. It shows a moody, monochrome painting of rain sheeting down on a nighttime street full of umbrellas and people hunched beneath trying to scurry through the storm. There’s a sense of movement and strong wind and the kind of steady rain that drowns out all other sound. The art is surrounded by a blue border. The artist is Mick Micheyl, someone I haven’t been able to find any info about, sadly.

Don’t mind me I’ll just be sitting on the couch nibbling fresh peas out of their pods and cackling like a happy weirdo

A large bowl full of pea pods. One pods is cracked open and all the peas are lined up in a row. Very adorable

What a lovely epigraph

The epigraph reads:

My dog whenever I cook rice

The Titanic meme where the old lady says “it’s been 84 years” except the face is my dog’s and it also says at the bottom “since I ate dinner”

Reddit is abuzz over the lightning. Apparently it hit the radio tower at the top of QA hill!

Screenshot of a photo posted by u/BrantJanders. It shows the Space Needle with Queen Anne hill behind and a wicked bright knife of lightning across the sky

Screenshot of a photo posted by u/Beginning-Ad-8840. It’s a skyline view of Seattle, with the water of Elliot Bay in the foreground. A very long jagged flag of lightning is descending at the top of the hill with the Space needle and downtown to the right.

My moon photos are still shit, but my cloud photos are improving

Photo of the full moon in the night sky with wispy clouds around and across.

I told her I skeeted about her but she was not impressed.

My dog can be a little scary when she thinks I haven’t fed her on time

Close up photo of my dog’s (usually adorable) face, as she looms over me on the couch. She has a bitter, stony glare that Clint Eastwood would kill for.

I’m sure there are things that are better than macerated strawberries but I can’t think of any right now

A blue and white china bowl filled with sliced strawberries and a tower of whipped cream. Hidden under all that is a buttered crumpet.

I think that ROCKBROS one is a knock off of the Spurcycle bell. Even when I sold my bike, I kept the Spurcycle bell and keep it in my desk. It’s the most beautiful clear ring and so loud.

I sold a chair on craigslist and when the buyer arrived, not only did she have exact cash, but she brought me this sprig of daphne from her yard. It smells heavenly. It’s maybe a little sad how delighted I was to get flowers from a stranger, but screw it I’m gonna keep being pure thrilled about it

A large sprig of Daphne (a shrub) with lots of pointed oval leaves and several clusters of small pink flowers. It’s in a clear glass vase on a purple floral tablecloth. There’s a blue and white sugar bowl in the background.

I’ve become one of those people who likes a little bit of coffee with their whipped cream. No regrets.

A photo of a smoked glass mug on a green coaster on a wood table, filled with milky coffee and a mound of soft whipped cream topped with cinnamon sugar.

My dog is a ridiculous belly rub beggar (complimentary)

I was napping on the couch. Photo is a slightly skewed perspective showing the length of the couch, with my black/white/brown shaggy little dog lying next to me in a red sweater, head to foot, rolling over just a little to show her belly.

Pancakes for lunch. Then, a nap.

Close up photo of three small pancakes stacked evenly and topped with syrup on a blue and white china plate.

What the fuuuuu

Screenshot of the NYT spelling bee game for today. Whoever puts together the word list is shit at their job on a regular basis but today even more so. The word “concomitant” is apparently not a real word to them!

OH MY GOD MY EYES WHAT IS THAT THING I DONT EVEN RECOGNIZE IT #seattlelife

Photo of a window with plants in the foreground. Very bright sunlight coming through. And this is with the exposure dialed way down.

I got a proper whipped cream dispenser (with nitrogen cartridges) and it has literally fixed my life

Close up photo of a large glass mug on a wood table. The mug is full of milky coffee, a truly appalling amount of whipped cream, and a cinnamon sugar sprinkle.

I got my new Enterprise D stickers in the mail today from Lego! cc: @trekcore.com For those who didn’t hear about it, the new (wildly expensive) Enterprise Lego set was shipped with a dedication plaque sticker with a typo. Instead of saying “boldly go” it said “boldy go” 😂

Close up photo of a sheet of stickers. The center one is a gold rectangle meant to be the face of the Enterprise’s dedication plaque. It says, “U.S.S. ENTERPRISE GALAXY CLASS STARFLEET REGISTRY NCC-1701-D
"...to boldly go where no one has gone before."” There are other, grey, nondescript stickers partially seen, along with the edges of a bright green houseplant.

MOTHER IF YOU WOULD BESTIR YOURSELF I HAVE SOMETHING MOMENTOUS TO TELL YOU

A photo of my dog looming over me, her nose just inches from mine, with a very somber expression and ears at alert.
