Pacific Northwest. Essentially a premature grandma who bakes, knits obsessively, and occasionally remembers to care for the flowers in my yard.
Listening to a classical Halloween playlist while my bread rises and I take a break from vacuum sealing a bunch of meat from hubby’s Costco run yesterday.
Taking it back to a classic for my next spooky season read. Never done this one… so wish me luck!
Just finished “The Calamities” by @chuckwendig.bsky.social and it was AWESOME. Also, dude, what the fuck? AND, I really love Silas.
At home with the convalescing dog while hubby did the quarterly Costco run. I made so many vacuum bags. So many.

To be fair to the tiger here, it doesn’t know WTF it’s doing, likely captive bred and doesn’t really know how to hunt.

Actors may not want to weigh in on politics but I assure you politics will be weighing in on the entertainment industry
I mean, if you’re talking about how the government of the country being attacked had advance intelligence of the attack and ignored it (whether via incompetence or malice), then sure I guess you could say the two events are equivalent. 🙄

Rickets will probably win but uhhhh that margin should have him shitting himself.
Decision Desk HQ@decisiondeskhq.bsky.social · 3d agoDDHQ POLLING UPDATE: Nebraska Senate Our Nebraska Senate polling average is live! Republican Pete Ricketts currently leads independent Dan Osborn by 0.9 points. The DDHQ Forecast gives Ricketts an 80% chance of winning.
Sidy playing like a man possessed, and this is just the preseason.
Demers definitely has a radio voice BUT he stays on task better than Calabro did.
Didn’t know that Morant regularly hits his free throws, which Jesus we needed. Jury still out on him for me.
Ahhhhh the preseason. Where everything’s made up and the points don’t matter.
Ja Morant pushing in transition, throw ahead to Camara and hey look it's Damian Lillard Portland Trail Blazer
Welp, I don’t think the defense is gonna be nearly as good for the blazers but I didn’t realize how viscerally I missed Dame just casually hitting 3’s.
JESUS I missed a guy that can actually hit the broadside of a barn.
"what are you gonna do, vote harder?" I mean yeah there's not a lot of other levers to pull these days but we can still pull that one
Either a fresh start or face down in the hotel pool career-wise (it me).
Jessica Ellis@baddestmamajama.bsky.social · 5d agoI feel like we don’t talk about millennials in particular, hitting our 40s - in earlier generations many of us would be reaching the peak of our careers, but because of disaster after disaster, locust after locust eating our industries, many of us are on our 3rd or 4th fresh start.
