This one weird semester in high school where we watched Schindler's List in two classes (English And History) simultaneously in like 45 minute chunks over the course of a few days.

GO LEARN TO MAKE SOMETHING REAL.

Colorful Andersonville mural.

Chicago style hot dog, fries, and an orange crush.

Flowers painted on the side of a building.

A paperback display at a bookstore.

Scenes from an evening in Andersonville. Devil Dawgs, wandered the Galleria & into Enjoy, and then a lovely event at Women & Children First. <3

Y'all there is a woman and a black man circling the moon and NASA's mission control+ science teams are so diverse and people are nerding out about science and exploration this is all a gigantic middle finger to the stupid and hate and grotesque ghouls running our country

Two books on a colorful rug. Entangled Life (the Illustrated edition) by Merlin Sheldrake, and The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green.

The world is bananas so we're gonna do some new stuff in our #homeschool right now - bc why not?

Not to mention mall restrictions, closing arcades, and they defunded every bit of teen programming possible at the libraries, closed all the community centers, and refuse to fund after-school and weekend events...

Dude, I love Pittsburgh so much. <3

I wish more of BlueSky could be about horses and cake.

Laziness.

At LEAST use Canva. Geeeez.

i’ve seen every social network i love die, you cannot scare me

What...would be the difference?

Mariano's hasn't failed me. (Or, as I tell people, "Mr. Mariano makes a pretty good cake.") ;)

This week in our #homeschool - rehearsals, Teen is trying to learn ukulele, Braiding Sweetgrass, Algebra, & we're shifting from Biology to Geology to finish off the last 10 weeks of 9th grade. (Crash Course is about to drop a Geology series, lets goooo.)

Its very good! I genuinely didn't know what was going to happen next the entire time. :)

Stack of books on a coffee table. Paint the Wind, The Silent Patient, The Garden Against Time, The Vaster Wilds, The Everlasting, and The Overstory.

What I read in March 2026. (Apparently I'm drawn to books about trees right now?) Lovely reads, all. <3 #books

When I moved here in 2005, my (dated but mostly fine) Lakeview studio was $700/mo. Just checked and now a comparable unit (same block, studio w/ similar layout) is $1800/mo. Ridiculous.

Saw El último sueño de Frida y Diego at @lyricopera.bsky.social - gorgeous, lush staging and killer voices. Gonna be obsessed with Catrina's skeleton dress forEVER. <3

You’d think expensive oil would make our government focus on solar and wind energy, you would of course be wrong

My Teen read Pet Semetary last year and its gonna be a core memory, I think.

"We are all dragging ourselves along, trying to keep up with whatever version of normalcy has been reconstructed each day. We are weeping and writing emails. We are watching television and scrolling, alternately hiding and spiraling, but rarely grieving as we should."

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to put on a tactical vest and go to the newark airport at 6 am on monday. your order is to wander around like a confused oaf. when a mom drops her sandwich at jersey mike's and scares you, pull out your gun and start shooting. good luck soldier
