I don't do automatic follow 4 follow: some of y'all post like you're two seconds from either a grippy sock vacation or lacing up your Nike Decades and I am trying to preserve my sanity and peace here by cultivating my feeds. It's nothing personal.

She lives in defiance of both God & man and we love her for her efforts. I'm hopeful she'll make it to 23 in a few months here!

Photo of an elderly dilute tortie cat sitting on a bed with a blue and white checkered blanket. She looks incredibly annoyed bc OP just woke her up to take this photo. She has a large benign hemorrhagic cyst on her right eye that gives her a sort of Popeye look but it doesn't hurt her.

What does that even MEAN, y'all?? Has it finally happened; am I too old to understand internet culture after 25+ years?

This was a fuckin mistake, y'all; at this point, dying single seems like the less painful option.

Frost advisory time! Sweet dreams, Mr. The Vegble

Photo of a large greenhouse tent full of potted vegetable plants, including peppers, basil, cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, cucumbers, Swiss chard, and tender lettuce seedlings. OP is hoping to save them from being mangled by frost tonight so they can continue having fresh vegetables in the house for awhile longer.

Wheezing lol

I know technology will not save the world, and I don't expect it to, but no matter how many times I have to scatter to the winds on a moment's notice to start over again, I will never feel like I am in the wrong for wanting to believe in its promise of safety, of stability, of fixed stars.

Like I expected him to turn everything into a toilet, and I bounced the day he took over with that stupid sink. I didn't expect that to happen here.

Maybe I'm the fool for wanting to take people at their word, but I did, or to believe in the hope of a better world, but I still do.

You know what, I'm just gonna say it

At least with Twitter, you *knew* Musk was gonna be an incompetent, thin-skinned, racist child with a vendetta against queers whose only interest was chasing money and who folded like a lawn chair at any criticism that might remind him that nobody likes him.

I'm still nervous about that mention of "treatments" at Vanderbilt and the way she's couching it in vague terms. That makes me suspicious.

the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

you don't get to count on votes from people you are letting get exterminated. if you let a fox kill the chickens, should you still expect eggs in the morning?

Big mood wrecker, trying to take a whimsy break from sending your little emails and then all of a sudden WORM!! 😭

Swamp Witch 🍂🍁 @beneathhergaze.bsky.social · 11h

Got up early to buy more fresh borlotti and was shelling them at my desk to make for dinner while steeping some tea and listening to a whimsical instrumental piece

when I suddenly cracked open a pod to find a LIVE WORM

EATING THROUGH THE BEANS

Photo of YouTuber Rachel Maksy walking away from her blue and white striped hammock amidst a sea of fallen yellow leaves in autumn. She is a 30-something white woman with long red hair, dressed in whimsical brown and white cottagecore clothing, and has a cartoonishly exaggerated sour look on her face. Next to her, white text has been added to read "Aesthetic RUINED".

The original context of this frame was her going out to enjoy autumn, sitting in her hammock to throw some fallen leaves, then realizing she sat in a big puddle of stagnant water that had collected in the hammock and storming back inside unhappily.

It really makes me doubt myself as a writer and creative!! Also the ones where I ask to hang out and nobody ever responds, those just hurt my feelings 😞

Why is it never my extremely earnest/sentimental posts, or my maker stuff I'm proud of, or the ones where I try to ask local folks to hang out? Why is it always the nonsense I fired off in three thoughtless seconds over a meal and then forgot about until my notifs blow up? You people mystify me.

Sometimes when I'm forced to really process the kinds of things I say that get the most traction on here, it makes me think I should stop posting

Who the fuck thinks they get to tell me what I can and cannot do in my own fucking home?

Just once I wish chasers like Josh Shriver would keep their complexes to themselves and go get therapy. Your shameful boner is not my fuckin problem, pal.

Something about the combination of being a fascist and being an absolutely pathetic dweeb just really gets my goat and I don't know why that's always the tipping point for me, but it is
