My favorite summer thing is over buying fruit cause it means a batch of surprise jam the next week This one is strawberry, mango, nectarine, apricot, peach, and blueberry with some vanilla bean

I could clean my house and do the 100 chores that are piling up Or… I could research a new business idea, create spreadsheets with all the details, estimate expenses, try to get an idea of how to get market research for my area on the subject My brain is broken cause the second one is easier…

my hello sunshine look at my BEAUTIFUL BOOK!! I am so happyyyy (you can pre-order it here! ☀️ www.thenovl.com/titles/keezy... )

Yessssss! Universe was kind today Noticed a new taco stand in an abandoned parking lot on the way home tonight That was enough to get me curious, but driving past the front, I spotted the trombo! Picked up the family and circled back for some al pastor So good! Going back tomorrow!

Know what’s cool about parenting your neurodivergent kid when your ND too? You don’t have to put them through shit they hate! 8th grade promotion is kinda bs.. it’s crowded, loud, etc, and you don’t even get a diploma/degree You know what’s a cooler way to commemorate? Sushi We went to sushi :)

Are presents for 8th grade promotion a thing?? (I ask desperately as the ceremony is tonight and the guidelines I just read have lots of notes about appropriate gifts at the event…)

For balance, I am embarrassingly excited there’s a second season this fall of my latest comfort anime, Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Skill The name alone makes me love it, so long and silly

Anyone else out there who watched the first season of Fubar? And then tried the second season?? Cause I need to have the “Huh? What happened there?” conversation with someone Like that was a noticeable change right?? It’s got a very different feel.. I think I’m sadly tapping out 1.5 episodes in

Oh yeah, it was a success! Look at that beautiful sandwich!Plus some bonus bbq potato wedges

16 hours and 45 minutes for the first one! Wrapped and resting for a bit before shredding. Think it’s bigger buddy is about 45 minutes behind

14 hours and the smaller one is up 180° They sat in that magic zone nice and long, gonna be so tender and juicy!

8 1/2 hours in! Up to 158°, still a ways to go Fingers crossed for some super tender pulled pork tonight

I keep my stuff off here but school’s still in session here in Seattle, and it’s a rough finish These kids and families are terrified and it makes me so fucking angry and sick and just… But we keep going, we keep looking out for each other. Turning that rage into motivation and support

Something to look forward to tomorrow

The Mexican flag for Chicanos is about expressing pride in a cultural identity that racists would rather they abandoned and felt shameful about. If you think waving a Mexican flag in Los Angeles means "I am expressing allegiance to the government of a foreign nation" please stop talking

The best part about making fried minced cutlets for dinner is knowing it means a cutlet sandwich tomorrow Guaranteed double meal deliciousness!

Today I chaperoned a field trip and volunteered for a kids sewing class I earned my Murderbot watch party treat tonight. If I can stay awake for it…

My second most controversial food take: Filet o fish is the best fast food order out there

Know what felt good today? Quick grocery stop with youngest. She spots some halibut cheeks, and asks what are those?Unlocked an old memory, they were my favorite when I worked in the hot kitchen at a sushi place Grabbed a few and made her a pre dinner snack, she is totally in love with them now :)

How do you get back in after being unemployed for a long time? I worked as an SDET before, but I am struggling with how to even get back in the game. Long time off work (by choice, at first…), but now it’s been years, I’m in a new city where I don’t have the same professional contacts…

Having a week where home ownership feels like a mistake This house is throwing a tantrum and I am very, very over it

Doesn’t look like much yet, but this is the start of what’s gonna be a glorious quilt or my decent into the 7th circle of unfinished project hell… I’m trying english paper piecing for the first time. Still haven’t decided what the solid fabric in between my colorful rainbow / gradient bands will be

attn please, here is some further Murderbot footage to enjoy incl the definitely best little moment in All Systems Red

Huh.. group chat really did kill the little forums And apparently the uber riche’s group chats are just 8chan redux

Went to Michael’s for the first time in years and they should just make their slogan “Why are you here?” Prices were way higher in person than online with the pick up in store option. Only self checkout, no cashiers They legit don’t want to see your face in there, pick up your bag and get out
