Hi, I'm here at last. Have a picture of a tree. I like trees and you should too. :)
@seemomster.bsky.social

I'm glad I thought to look you up! I was looking at the painting I bought from you and I realized I didn't follow you here. Oops. Situation corrected.

Ah, yes, that time when we planted flowers in the pot holes on our street (4 years ago).

Several years back, right around Christmas, I came across this great sale on wrapping paper so I bought a bunch. A year later I decided gift bags, being reusable, would be the better choice. Environmentally speaking. But I must keep wrapping now until it's gone. 🥴

Someone on Reddit called this "coastal weather for inland prices". I actually saw some blue sky yesterday and rain is coming. Yay! Overcast for weeks sucked.

Beautiful paracrinoid. A distant relative of sea stars and urchins 🧪
In light of the Saurophaganax situation (🦕 and/or 🦖), I suggest Oklahoma consider Oklahomacystis as a state fossil. Oklahomacystis belongs to the Paracrinoidea, an extinct lineage of rare & unusual blastozoan echinoderms. Despite their name, they aren't likely to be very closely related to crinoids.

The article goes into why the font was changed (for accessibility) and why it was changed back (politics).

13 years ago today the day was very foggy but the sunset being like this made up for it.

I can hear a rooster and they aren't allowed in this area... But also I heard there was a chicken on its own down the street so those could be the same bird. A very confused bird since it's crowing *now*.

All of a sudden I have a kajillion posts from gaming subs on Reddit. Maybe because I said I was saving up for a Switch2. I don't think I can explain to the algorithm that I play like 2 video games and one will be bundled into it. Hopefully I can mute enough so that they stop.

The jeans I'm wearing have a strange magic power. They fit me the same now as when I was 20 pounds heavier. 🤨

Got to my next weight loss way point so I get treats! I'm now less than 2 pounds from my 30 pound goal, though I'm planning on continuing my diet for a few more pounds after that.

I replied, "real".

I helped my son move on Saturday and there were these 3 little girls playing around. They took a shine to me. I got at least 3 hugs from each of them and was told over and over that I'm beautiful. (I'm guessing my purple hair played a role.) I told them they were beautiful too, and sweet and kind.

Apparently there's a chicken running around on my street. I haven't seen it but at least one of my neighbors have.

Taken from Reddit which took it from here.

I tried to alt text this but I couldn't navigate within the description to see how it came out. Coherently, I hope.
