Your husband will not care for you the way you think he will. Nobody will care for you the way you will care for yourself. -Phoebe in The Wedding People

One day I will remember that in order to make pudding you need milk. Today is not that day.

Pittsburgh you out did yourselves with the voting stickers 😂🥰

Puppets…

The thing I love about spring is when everything is just starting to bloom and I get my runway surrounded by dandelions and little purple wildflowers 🥰

Mini chocolate strawberry cheesecakes for Easter brunch 🐣 Fingers crossed they taste as good as they look 😅

When you have Irish Cream leftover you find creative ways to use it since you can’t drink at the moment. Hence Irish Cream and Coffee scones 💚

In the words of Moira Rose- I’d kill for a good coma right now.

In my experience, only the best teams send an edible arrangement when life throws you curveballs.

Reminder: All People Had To Do Was Fill In A Little Oval Next To The Smart Black Lady’s Name.

Unbelievably upset I couldn’t attend the Hands Off protests in the Burgh today because of surgery recovery. But to the people that attended your signs made my day. We will defeat them 💙

There’s no denying it anymore: the pro-democracy movement is finally back on offense. Trump’s presidency is an unmitigated disaster. MAGA is imploding under the weight of its own lies, grifts, and failures. They’re not strong—they’re desperate. They’re flailing. And they know it.

After having gallbladder surgery maybe this is why I have almost beat adult pregnancy. Abdominal surgery is not for the weak 🫠

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

Tonight’s dinner: Lemon Orzo Salad courtesy of Caileeeats with some embellishments by me for the things I don’t like in the original recipe. SO good! #WhatsCooking #FoodSky

The tomato plants are out of the greenhouse and under the red blue lights 🥰 I know I need to get rid of the tomatillo buds because the plants aren’t strong enough yet, but seeing these little blooms bring me joy 🌱 #Gardening #SpringIsFinallyHere

Water leak in my basement. Stepped on a nail. Trying to avoid aggravating my gallbladder further. This really is just not my week and it’s only Tuesday 🫠

Is there a kind way to say I can’t do anything in May, because I’ll be busy prepping and playing in my gardens? #Gardening

What We Do in the Shadows is hilarious. I’m sorry I only discovered it now that it’s over.

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

Donald Trump campaigned on the fact that he believed Kamala Harris would cause a recession. In reality, the only candidate who would have caused a recession is Donald Trump, and the American people are feeling it today.

The only thing I don’t like about this time of year is losing an hour of sleep. But it is one less hour of Mango Mussolini and Elonia’s reign so there is a positive.

March’s list of crossing off places to try starts with Altered Genius! I’ve been wanting to come here for a while and supporting local is the mission for the foreseeable future 💙 Obviously had to get the Jamie Tart because who doesn’t love Ted Lasso? #WeekendAdventures #LocalBreweries

I was told tomatillos love the sun, but honestly it’s out of control. Every time I move the grow light the next time I look they are right up against it. My little friends you cannot live inside the light 😅 #GardenSky #Plants #Gardening

These baby buds- I love them! But they need to go so the tomatillo plants can put the energy back into growing stronger. I thanked them for their service before pulling them 🌱💚

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Anybody else looking to really stick to a no spend or spend less plan this year. I recently learned about the Buy Nothing Project. See if there is one in your area and if not see about starting one!

Michelle Trachtenberg, known for her acting roles in "Harriet the Spy," "Gossip Girl" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," has died at the age of 39.

Sometimes lighting a candle makes me feel like I have it all together even when I definitely don’t.

Taylor being confident that Daniel followed her on IG. He looks like every other midwestern white boy with a biblical name. How can you tell them apart? #LoveIsBlind

david asking why political affiliation is included on dating profiles just shows that women have refused to fuck him because they’ve found out he’s a republican #loveisblind

how it feels watching this season of Love is Blind #LoveisBlind

Never had Instagram but loving @flashes.blue

My science experiment had surprising results! It only took a week for these roots to happen. They have been placed in their new soil based homes. Science is very cool. #GardenSky #Plants

Me everyday since November 6th:

The one positive I have found from the series finale of the United States is we have a lot of talented cartoonists.

The thing I love about gardening the most is it gives you room to experiment. Today was thinning out the seedlings and starting seeds that didn’t happen in another way. Thinning seedlings are a necessary evil, but I figured this year I would try propagating and see what happens 🌱
