Devising food strategy like our ancestors diagramming the hunt on the walls of the cave, but it's me comparing availability and prices on the apps as I draw up the grocery list.

Considering the last one was in April, I'd reconsider - at the very least - using the adjective "yearly" here.

Oh, you mean fall as in autumn, not as in "of civilization."

“I just don’t know how you go around, asking everyone first. I just don’t see how that would work,”

Well, it also isn't feasible for me to go around asking everyone for consent to enter their homes and steal things. So, unless people actively opt-out, I'm going in and taking whatever I want.

I’m just trusting my past judgment on blocking someone.

I also know you have no idea what is in my personal life which is why I don’t want to make Bluesky a stress point.

I’ll simply ask politely to respect my personal choices with regard to my mental wellbeing.

I'm 57 and still get a kick out of trying to catch leaves as they fall!

Several leaves flying through the air (it's super windy here today), with a mostly cloudy sky above. I miss 95% of them, but that doesn't keep me from trying!

PreMed class:

Instructor: Now for your last and most critical assignment.

Tomorrow’s final exam will begin at 8:00AM and you must be there or you will be fined; however, we won’t start the exam for at least an hour. Just sit in the waiting room.

Okay, I "think" I've completed my 2025 overhaul to my author's website.

I'd love to change some of the css style elements, especially the top nav bar, but that involves paying for an upgrade and it's just not worth it for that. I'll stick with out-of-the-box for now.
