Pear trees are looking like they’ll be ready for yard placement in the Fall. I’m looking forward to cultivating more fruit

I decided to grow some tomatoes and lettuce in a pot for indoors, so I started the seeds today. I’m considering a pot of collard greens as well, but I’m going to need to go buy more soil before I decide on that

I know my son is sick of me with my insistence on balanced nutrition and appropriate supplements to his teen years, but his body will thank him for it later. He better eat the handful of almonds and stop asking about buying chips

I have eaten exact zero strawberries this year. They can navigate around the bird netting…I’m guessing squirrels, rabbits, or chipmunks are to blame

Looking over my shoulder to talk to my son and needing to tip my chin up is going to stay weird. I’m taller than my mom, both my sisters, and all my close girl friends. Being the short one in the house is some bull

This whole thing boils down to people being too 1. Greedy, 2. Lazy, and 3. Incurious. And now all of us have to suffer because of it, sourcing books for the plagiarism machine is crazy

NEW: After a 404 Media report about ISBNdb sourcing printed books for AI companies to train on because they don't contain AI slop, the company has removed its webpages about training AI citing backlash and says it was just a "test of market interest."

I know y’all are gonna judge me, but 75. In my defense, it was almost 90 outside today and the AC has been running nonstop

What’s the temperature in your crib right now?

This new county assessment… That’s exactly what I get for liking nice things. Now look at me, reaping what the renovations sowed

When I was really young, I leaned over an old box fan and there was an exposed wire. It burned a hole in my pjs and when I woke up, I didn’t remember what happened. So, I’m going to say yes to this 😂 Freaked out my cousins and older sister real bad and they gave me candy not to tell. Kids…

The extremely strong grip that children have will always stun me. Why are they so strong when they don't want to let something go?!

Time to play: Am I growing hybrid pepper plants, or am I cultivating weeds? What say you gardeners? I feel like they’re baby peppers because the bugs have eaten the leaves and they don’t usually bother with the weeds

Not my sister seeing this picture and saying she’s ready to take her peace lily back! SMH Talking about “Wow, those look great. I’ll tak my 2 back and give you two more that are struggling” Sisters 😂

I’m in the “I accidentally own a greenhouse” phase of life now. I think this is fine

My son is doing an internship this summer, so I have to accompany him since he’s 14 and can’t easily get to the location. One of the men running the program has been trying to talk to me 1-on-1 for a couple of weeks and can’t get it to work because my kiddo is always lurking

You know any parents? If so, you have the pool already

Tell me where this pool of cheap teenage graphic designers who also don’t use AI can be found

I did a big work thing and I’m so proud of myself

Finally! My tomato plant is showing me a little bit of respect

This is my time to remind people of Kathy Bates’ amazing performance in Delores Claiborne. Such a good movie

where in history have the husbands been a commodity worth perusing?

I’m clearly too far removed from club culture, because that whole conversation doesn’t even make sense. The sections are now the He Man Woman Hating seats?????

This is perfect timing for all the perverts longing for ✌🏽the natural order✌🏽to return and wishing for teen pregnancy and child brides “you find the average age is around 23 or 23.5.” You sickos! It was modern society that briefly and within geographical limits threw things off course

The moon looks incredible tonight

My garden is stalling out and now I’m stumped. I think the super hot weather in May got things all discombobulated…but, the corn stalks have silk now. So, I’ll have ears of corn coming soon-ish

It is impossible to be both a fun parent and a good parent. You can be fun-ish, but the unfun parts are the most important

Hey parents of bsky: What are some theories of parenting you were very confident in right up until you had your own kids?

I took the kid to see The Odyssey tonight and it was a good time. He read it for school and asked to go this weekend. I was holding his hand knowing when I was about to be scared and I still jumped every single time anyone. Having a brave teen is the best, I like doing big kid stuff together

My nephews stayed over last night and I’m so glad my allergies were acting up and I couldn’t sleep because they were up and LOUD last night

This is the bike of one of the cyclists who was "bumped" by the pick-up truck driver. This sort of language is one way that media outlets downplay traffic violence.

The Durango Herald@durangoherald.bsky.social · 2w ago

Medics and law enforcement responded Tuesday to a crash south of Durango where a pickup truck driver – suspected of impairment – allegedly bumped several road cyclists and seriously injured one.

wtf is going on with peptides and why this is making news? I’m just going to say, as a person who researches public health: I think it’s inadvisable for people to buy unregulated vials to inject themselves with an insufficiently tested product. Please be careful and talk to your children about this
