"Oh no! Did you get stung?"
"... They'd argue I was the aggressor here."

That might be why I'm not dating anyone.
Not sure though.
Need more toads to be sure.

It's romantic. Toad by flashlight. Romance.

Right?! I've found two types of native orchids here, I'm *stoked*

These are not spiders. They are crane fly...orchids!

*boop* I love these guys, they're a species of Harvestman, completely harmless, and approximately 95.3% leg
They tend to like to sit on my hydrangeas but this lil dude is in the house bricks

Lil brown chonk of a spider sitting sideways in the space between two bricks on a house. He's got long spindly legs and is taking a chill

Dear @democrats.org:

How about fighting the Fascists, tooth and nail, promising to try every ICE agent who acted without a judicial warrant?

You are *literally* being handed PR like this:

Fucking use it.

A small toddler in a night shirt and shorts wearing bright green shoes, with brown skin, is getting their hands zip tied behind their back by an ICE agent, after a helicopter commando raid on an apartment builsing that netted 37 arrests, two of whom were "suspected gang members."

You know, that ROE Warrior Ethos that Whiskey Pete Hegseth wants. Protecting our streets from toddlers.

Out writing on the porch and saw this cute dup popping up through the bricks under the table

Two small mushrooms growing between bricks with other features blurred in the background. The left mushrooms has a thick stem and full bell of a beige color. The right mushrooms has a thin white stem and the bell is a flat disk, tilted towards the camera, of a light reddish color

I knew I'd get a detail wrong somewhere, lol. That was forever ago because we're *old* now

Govneh Jalapeno @thebigleblueski.bsky.social · 11d

I remember a killer short story of yours too about a trans character walking into enemy territory, having basically a kill switch alarm on their phone they had to keep turning off to keep their own hitters from coming in
I always appreciated that they were a badass outside of their identity

You've always been a paragon ahead of your time.

I'd let the goose take over my HR duties. They're my least favorite part and I think the goose would keep everyone in line
