I like poetry, sci-fi, bourbon, space, and my cats. Ask me about my online degree in architecture (I build stuff in the Sims 4). https://gram.social/RitaPita

Things only cat owners understand: telling a living breathing thing to "put your ears away". Like look I understand you have feelings right now but those airplane ears are gonna get you in trouble. ✈️👂

It doesn't matter where you work or what you do, your department will always have a nemesis of another entire ass department.

Not the prettiest bagels ever made but they are delicious and it was my first time making them.

As someone who did serious time in a call center, I am never rude to call center agents. As someone who absolutely hates Meta but it's a part of my job, holy hell their support sucks. Is it okay to holler just a little bit?

Two sweet babies who should not be on the table.

I got all this done today besides the cookies because I went on a pita side quest and y'all I MADE SUCCESSFUL PITAS AND LITERALLY CRIED ABOUT IT.

Food preppers and Sunday cookers what is on your agenda today? I'm whipping up: *Spicy Tuscan soup *Home made "Chez It" crackers *No Bake Oat & PB Cookies *Refrigerator Pickles *Spicy Roasted Pepper Hummus AND I'M MAKING MY OWN OAT MILK.

My daughter is in a culinary arts program at her high school & tomorrow we get to have a tasting menu of 3 appetizers, salad, 2 entrees, sides and 3 desserts at the scholarship fundraiser dinner. Would it be rude to ask why the $$$ for this didn't include booze? It's's for a good cause I guess.

life is easy you just endure pain for all of it and never understand why

It's my one year work anniversary. I wrote you all a haiku. I've been here a year Work from home is neat and cool I might stick around

Great hauls from the thrift stores and bookstores today, old vinyl, new vinyl and a couple of beautiful vintage handmade blankets that were a steal for only $5. Aaaand we made it home right as the skies started to grace us with rain/sleet/snow.

Crepe time. Savory Uncle Sal (pesto, sausage, tomato, spinach and mozzarella) for me and a sweet Butter Me Up (peanut butter, butterscotch, apple and caramel) for my 17 year old.

Prosciutto Rules Everything Around Me

Quick visit to my local bookstore, housed in two old Victorian houses, this place is literally magical.

Charlie (Ms Charles Warles Barles) is the hardest cat to get pictures of, she is our hider, always under a stairwell or bed. Yesterday she graced me with her presence in my office.

The fact that the spell check in this Yearly Self Assessment Review isn't working properly is really a special kind of hell.

Guys my partner brought me home some pączki, is he getting fresh with me?

Basking in the glow of a sunset lamp.

Two weeks off Meta, a year off of Twitter (after 15 years on it!), and now limiting my time on reddit (18 years!) How do I feel? Somehow less and more anxious at the same time, but at least it is the world that troubles me and not my family.

Me: Who the hell puked their wet food dinner into the dry food bowl? My Cat, probably: Ah yes I think you mean my artistic thought piece about food, hunger, and the socioeconomic class system.

Tiny hat on a fat cat.

Searching for 3 raccoons in a trench coat to take this meeting for me today.

Tonight's dinner is a "I don't feel like cooking but have a ton of produce to use up" production, sponsored by "Wow I can't believe we haven't eaten anything since breakfast".

us: plugs in our phone for a bit whilst we skeet and wait for beer our phone: BEDTIME MODE ACTIVATE us: no phone: ADAPTIVE CHARGING IS ON us: can u fuckin don't

Okay so I've been mainlining TikTok the past week, what did I miss here?

sorry everyone but the rhythm already got the best parts of me

No matter where I work or who I am working with this is still my favorite gif to send as a reply in a Teams chat, because girl what are you saying to me right now.

Me: I'm going to bed, you coming? My Cat: Runs up 2-4 steps and waits for me and then My Cat: Runs up 2-4 steps and waits for me and then My Cat: Runs up 2-4 steps and waits for me and then Once I get into bed he disappears. I'm pretty sure he is just herding me to bed at this point.

This turned out absolutely delicious but violently fuchsia. I'll hide the color in tomato based soups and stews but might get cheeky and use some in a miso soup around Valentine's Day. 🤔

Another month's batch of veggie broth made from scraps and dying produce from the back of the fridge. It's purple from the red onions, beet and red cabbage additions. Again.
