My only resolution this year is for it to be the year $hit**gets done.

I don’t know why but seeing this pumpkin on a fire hydrant while it was flurrying made me happy. Had to go outside to capture it. But does someone want to tell the pumpkin it’s illegal to park there? #lancasterpa #citylife #citystreets

Left a work timer running during my Thanksgiving road trip. Oops! Thankfully from Google Drive timestamps I can get a read on when I actually stopped before leaving last Tues. 🤣

Lost my mom 13 yrs ago today; she was 51. I'm 46 and as our ages get closer to meeting, it's harder to grapple w/ just how young she was. Grief is there every day, but milestone dates hit hard. Here's a pic of her as a DJ in '82 in the Poconos. I share it every year, but first time on BlueSky.

Happy accident. The empanada
baskets weren’t in front of the right labels so instead of ham and cheese I got pizza — and this pepperoni is AH-mazing. I will
def order this again. (in hindsight, the baskets seem to have just shifted down one to account for an empty space in the lunch rush.)

Made a nonfiction pub starter pack, but there’s a minimum of accounts so I added a few editors for now just until more solely-CNF mags, pubs, podcasts & events join BlueSky! go.bsky.app/ALZoHKu
