I'm a retired chef. These days I make a living making adult novelties, dildos @uberrimedildos.bsky.social, ummkay! I also do woodworking, painting, sculpting, photography, ceramics, & grow food. I'm an ADHD dog hooman and leftie secular humanist. COFFEE!

Anyone get a support ticket from Etsy? Listings that could be "harmful to minors"?? Their own policy "require all account owners to be at least 18 years of age. Individuals under the age of 18 are considered minors on Etsy. Minors under age 13 are not allowed on Etsy." Etsy, a reselling shithole.

fellow fucksmiths, what design of yours are you the proudest of? not your most popular, not even necessarily your favorite, one where you look at it and go, "damn, i did that." For me, still the candy cane.

Adopted her yesterday. The name the shelter gave her was Mylee but she doesn't respond to that, AT ALL... What's her name? I kinda like Bellis, latin for Daisy. My wife said she looks like a Daisy. Vicky says Laika - Space Dog who went on a one way trip to orbit - I like it but it's tragic AF.

Prepping dog food. 40 pounds of chicken breast - $58 Other stuff I make - Rice, Oats, Green Beans, Apple, Carrot, Sweet Potato, Squash, Blueberries, Olive Oil, and Salmon Oil Costs about $5 a day for all three dogs. I was feeding them Fresh Pet at $16 a day. That's about $4000 a year savings.

Cooked, Diced Chicken Breast on five sheet pans with a Vacpackit machine on the counter. Cooked chicken breast, diced, all bagged and vacuumed up.

Is it normal for a dog rescue to want you to agree to giving up your privacy for social media clout? Like, I feel this application is highly intrusive. At the pound they're begging people to adopt, this place is like, we're gonna scrutinize everything about you... Your home, family, pets, & job.

Looks like Dr. Who but I can't be sure. He liked to perch exactly here but I haven't seen him in nearly a year. There's a bunch of very young owls in the neighborhood and they like my yard, a lot. Which is good, because I like them a lot. This one could be a descendant. I like to think so.

Just so I can say I said it. Pretty much every grocery store you go to sells Taylor Farms. Whole Foods 365 lettuce, Publix Greenwise, etc. if it's lettuce in a bag, it's certainly a Taylor Farms white label product. 4 decades in kitchens I say nearly every restaurant and hotel uses their stuff.

I wonder if part of the reason my Great Grandpa seemed so stoic, so, not suffering a loss or indifferent to death was he didn't have access to a library of 15,000 pictures he took of precious loved ones. Scrolling through my pics and revisiting dogs I've lost makes my heart ache something fierce.
