This is an incredible skeet

We are long overdue for a return of Taking Things to the Grave.

the three genders

If you need something to smile about, I just received a video of my 3yo bonus nephew talking with great concern about what he thinks is a too-small hula hoop (it's some other loop shaped toy), but he thinks it's called "a hoop in the hula". Please enjoy imagining the cuteness.

The sky was beautiful and clear tonight when I was walking the dog and I got a little sad that dogs don't (as far as we know) care about the stars, so I couldn't really share the moment with her, and I think if I ever try app dating again I'm leading with that so folks know what they're getting into

Another rough round of hide and seek...

I'm supposed to be getting ready to go see Wicked with 12 and extended family, but the puppy and I just discovered that we fit perfectly together in our ikea chair so I'm going to soak in this lap dog moment as long as possible

I told her she couldn't woof at the window, and the cats both told her to leave them alone, so she flopped herself down pathetically and moped for a few seconds to see if anyone would change their minds

It's hard to win at hide and seek when you're a giant cat

Our first big snow of the year, and my first time with a doodle. Fellow dog owners: what are your favorite boots to prevent ice balls from forming?

This is how those fresh and fragrant bundled herbs like parsley get to your grocery store. Workers spend 8 hours a day on their knees harvesting this crop that is used in our #Thanksgiving stuffing. #WeFeedYou

Ugh the goodbye tribute to Devin Scillian got me 😭 With him and Carmen both gone, the parade is going to feel so different.

Attempting to take 9 to the dentist today. Our last 2 tries have been total busts, but we've got the service-doodle with us today and I'm hoping she'll make the difference for him! Appreciate all the crossed fingers and good vibes 🤞🤞

Use a gif to show where you're from

This is so tough, because we see the systemic reasons why schools are failing to meet our kids' needs and we know that teachers and staff care immensely despite being underpaid and undervalued, AND kids and families are experiencing real harm and trauma here. michiganchronicle.com/report-revea...

12 and I had a chat about Amazon's AI bot for item reviews tonight. I showed this screenshot I took of an actual (obviously chatgpt) review to demonstrate how a bot can't tell the difference between reviews from real human customers and bots/obvious paid reviewers. Sharing in case it's helpful!

It's going to be really sad when AI takes over courtroom sketches. Zero chance a computer could ever produce something quite like this

The cats are at the vet for their yearly check-up, and I brought their pills along to see if the vet techs can show me how to successfully pill an angry 15 lb cat. I used to pill our giant foster cat, but our current big boy is a whole new level of grudge-holding...

Shout out to my brain for managing to recall the name of a blogger from 2010 when I started craving these exact sweet potato rounds this week www.katheats.com/low-slow

Late November flowers

I didn't know that there was a late game today, so when I left to pick up the puppy at 6:50, I immediately got stuck in traffic for an hour just trying to get to the highway 🫠 #townieproblems

Watched all of A Man on the Inside tonight. Don't be fooled like i was by the cast full of comedic actors, be prepared to cry too. Cozy mystery, sweet, sad, and (of course) funny.
