Ever seen a formulator headbanging and screaming 'FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME' while making face wash? #someofthosewhoworkforcesarethesameonesthatburncrosses

Mac is relentless trying to get at these waffles. Look at him laying on the cuteness-'mother, are you aware that I love waffles too?' Little rascal! 🤣

Gnashing my teeth and crying out 'WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME O GOD' to the heavens bc I am being forced to peel garlic* so I can eat. :/

When I get overloaded by (gestures at everything), I have found that coloring really helps me calm my mind. It's meditative in a way. I picked up a 3-pack of these coloring tablecloths and it was the best $14.99 I've ever spent.

Foraging win this morning when I found a patch of motherwort and a patch of goldenrod (not pictured). Motherwort is an herb that helps with heart health and anxiety, I make a tea with it and hawthorn berries. Goldenrod makes a dye, so I'm gonna try dyeing something with it. This shit is so fun istg

I got out my trusty TDS meter to measure total dissolved solids in the water. In the above post, I measured the water coming out of the tap. Here, I measured the water after going through the Brita. Still quite a bit of stuff in the water.

I am a giant nerd. I'm aware that tap water is often contaminated, so I use the ZeroWater filtration system because it removes PFAS. Everyone always says 'oh, I just use a Brita, it's fine.' So I decided to do a lil experiment! I dug up an old Brita pitcher and bought a new filter for it. Then 1/
