I was talking to these two guys on Bumble and they both mentioned similar things they did this weekend and my friend clocked that they were BROTHERS. What is my life. Enjoy this meme made by another friend of ours.
Text at the top of the photo: Emily - these two guys on Bumble are weirdly similar! Abigail - interesting Then the image shows Miranda Cosgrove in front of a computer with a can of soda in her hand from the show iCarly where she says “interesting” with a pondering look on her face.

Sorry to my neighbors who maybe just saw me open my front door without pants on as I made great effort to let this big ole buggy boy out of my house without throwing up or squishing him on accident 🏏
A black cricket the size of a quarter crawling up the gray heather headboard of Em’s bed. She likes crickets just fine, when they’re far away from her.

I’ve had a lot of personal wins recently but these double stuf oreos are NOT doing it 😂
Em holding up an opened double stuf Oreo and the creme filling is definitely NOT doubled nor is it even touching the outer rim of the chocolate cookie. She is disappointed but you can’t tell that from the picture, it’s only of her hand and the Oreo with her bedding and laptop in the background.

Continuing on this year’s movie journey, my mom and I don’t want to go to fireworks so we’re watching West Side Story. Thankful for some of these lyrics today, musicals are awesome.
🦈❤️✈️💃🏻 #filmsky #cinemasky #moviesky
This is a poster for the 2021 West Side Story remake by Steven Spielberg. The right side of the poster has characters Tony and Maria on a fire escape balcony at nighttime, clotheslines in the background. They’re in love!

hi my boyfriend got me this wizard and we’ve named him Fernandgnome. 💜✨
A photo of a garden bed with mulch and weeds in the daytime sitting slightly off-kilter is a garden gnome that is a wizard with a purple cloak and starry purple hat. His name is Fernandgnome. In his left hand he has a red canister with some solar powered led lights on it. His right hand holds a brown staff with a green orb at the end of it. I love him.

I am eating a cupcake and starting the next @criticalrole.bsky.social episode (I’m on campaign three) so that I can scroll though Bluesky and lament with y’all while also pretend I’m in a better timeline 🧁💻 #criticalrole
A very blurry picture that Em hastily took of her holding an out of focus chocolate cupcake with green icing and sprinkles in front of a laptop screen with YouTube pulled up. On the blurry YouTube screen is DND series Critical Role Season 3, Episode 10, Ghosts, Dates, and Darker Fates. She is trying to avoid crashing out.

like she kept this calendar from 2008? it’s lived in this desk drawer for over fifteen years, who am I to throw it away? 😭
Em’s hand holding a calendar from 2008, the front picture is of a dock with four boats on a lake with mountains in the background. She’s already recycled it so she can’t say what National Park it’s a picture of.

Happy national donut day! One of the bakeries in Muncie gave out a free donut so I bought some more to support them. Also, I get to work from home this Monday! 🍩😍
Em is in her car holding a small box of donuts. She has an excited expression on her face, wearing a black sweater. There are five beautiful donuts in the small box. The ones you can see are a chocolate glaze, chocolate frosted with sprinkles, vanilla frosted with sprinkles, and a plain glaze. There is also a chocolate cake doughnut underneath one of the other ones that is hard to see. Happy national donut day everyone!

the memes have entered the middle school bulletin boards so that means they’re dead, right?
Two panels of a bulletin board in middle school, left has sparkly silver holographic paper with panels explaining kids should be “taking care of supplies” “very demure, very cutesy” and the right panel has metallic pink backdrop with phrases such as “getting to class on time?” “very mindful, very considerate.” Em used these as an opportunity to educate her sixty year old father on why demure has made it back into the lexicon.

A selfie that Em took with a robin’s egg blue flowy shirt, hair and makeup done tongue out peace sign ready for an online interview. Unbeknownst to her she applied for the WRONG STATE. It’s fine, she’s fine.

A picture Em took of the ground outside her library. It has a stone tile mosaic with an angel reading a book. It is in a mostly brown mulched flowerbed. Some greenery is starting to poke through! There is a rock in the upper left hand corner of the photo.

dust, gravel chewing, lament, hoping for hope.
A black and white picture of Em’s face close up with her Ash Wednesday ashes on her forehead. She is attempting to be contemplative for the camera to feel the vibe of Lent. Her left hand is resting on her face because her elbow out of frame is on the table. She has dark hair pulled back, and glasses that are normally purple but it’s a black and white photo.

🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini! 🌻
A picture of a sunflower facing the camera, taking up most of the frame. It’s a mostly yellow sunflower, the seeds haven’t browned yet but it is in full bloom. You can see the green stem at the bottom of the photo alongside greenery from other sunflowers. At the very top of the photo, the bright blue sky shines through the petals of the sunflower. Em took this at Jacob’s Family Orchard this past August.

Hi #moviesky, #cinemasky, #filmsky, I’m starting a thread of all the movies I’m watching in 2025. We started with Jim Henson Idea Man on Disney+ and I am excited!
