This is my husband! He’s soooo talented. Give it a listen, won’t you?

Holy crap, what a mess! #unbound

brian was starting to think that maybe his mom wasn’t coming back

Psst…those 1950s manufacturing jobs Trump loves so much? They were good jobs because they were UNION jobs. Oh...and taxes on corporations and the rich were much higher. Trump’s agenda won’t bring back the “Golden Age.” It’ll make the rich richer at everyone else's expense.

Just got sore and sweaty weeding out SOME of the Himalayan blackberries in our yard. Luther Burbank can burn in hell!!! #invasivespecies #invasiveplants #PNW #PNWgarden #garden

American pope! Wowww! Very exciting. (Also, very glad to hear they stuck with the path Francis blazed.) #LeoXIV

I’m really only just getting into it but I genuinely love birding as a hobby. The entire goal is to look at the bird. Is there a bird? There is a bird! Look at the bird! If you are very keen you can learn what to call the bird so that you can properly thank it for the joy you feel when you see it. 🪶

Just finished up a whirlwind weekend of #baking, eating, and learning in #Chicago. Thank you to Stef and all of her crew at www.thebakefest.com for making #WhiskedAwayChicago so memorable! #BakersofBluesky #BakingSky

Just saw Sinners. Wow! That was a ride. The music is fantastic. The juke joint scene is extraordinary. I’d like to see it again, but in IMAX.

This dog was spotted remaining cool, calm, and completely unbothered by the haters. 13/10

I raised two children who are now successful adults, but I'll be damned if I'm able to maintain a sourdough starter. (It would be helpful if they cried when they needed attention.) #baking
