My goldenrod brings the bees to the yard, and damn right, it’s taller than yours.

I’ll just leave this here…
I might have watched this two times in a row. https://youtube.com/shorts/rdb6FSgofjE?si=2XmUlyD3b3xV-Nv-
Out for Korean chicken with @rockmastermike@beige.party. Digging the K-Pop videos almost as much as the food.
The Mastodons are on patrol.
Savoring a quiet weekend with @rockmastermike@beige.party, remembering why we still work after all these years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKKZ5J-PBU0

@adhdeanasl@beige.party THAT reminds me of when I saw a dude staring at his tablet. It had page after page of butts. So many butts.
Every fashionable #guineapig should be adopted by a human with matching fuzz.
Your adorable video of the night includes a lot of floofy creatures. True fact, I used to be terrified of raccoons. I also used to be scared of guinea pigs as well, so you can see how things change. https://youtube.com/shorts/te8jMsNWytE?si=MSb2nT97ajzBHT6N
Six months in Covid lockdown, I stumbled upon a novel by Natalie Zina Walschots. Hench is the story of a woman who starts temp work through an agency staffing support roles for villains (her specialty is data analytics).
It quickly became one of my all time favorite novels. I’ve probably either read or listened to at least twice a year.
The sequel finally came out this morning.
Why yes, I AM taking off tomorrow.

@adhdeanasl@beige.party I believe Patton Oswald referred to it as "sour cream in a sauna".
One of my coworkers read the directions for a frozen snack. It said to microwave it for 15 seconds. She decided the directions were wrong and left it on for 3 minutes.
Well, now I know we have a problem with the building's smoke detectors. Yay?
Praise an abundance of air filters! It might smell normal in here by tomorrow.

@adhdeanasl@beige.party As an educator, you were beyond professional. You were courageous. Thank you for leading by example.
Glad I took myself out for lunch near work today. Traffic was a nightmare until a half hour ago.

@adhdeanasl@beige.party I wanted to slap a former colleague every time he would deadname a student. Asshat goes by his middle name!

@WrenArcher@beige.party @Wallflower@beige.party You've now been regaled twice about underboob issues.
I NEVER remember until it's too late. If I have the smallest contact with poison ivy, and if I don't immediately scrub my entire body with Tecnu (which is a game changer), It will go systemic.
Case in point, I brushed my left arm against poison ivy last week and didn't notice until there was a pronounced bump and a diagonal line of tiny bumps right next to it.
Right now, my arms and legs are a mass of red lines that look like I've been cutting myself. My fucking underboobs are red and inflamed. Doctor called in a prednisone prescription and I'm coated in hydrocortisone spray.
I hate summer.
Uh oh.

Bracing for impact.
Omigod, I have needed this.

@Gargron My high school / college boyfriend (very on and off) made me sit through all of Wings of Desire before he would agree to sex. It almost killed my Need for Desire.

@britt@mstdn.games I was diagnosed with ADHD two weeks ago at the age of 54. A huge sector of my high school kiddos are neuro-spicy.
Replying to
@britt@mstdn.games I just had a student complain that he was stuck on a long car ride with no fidgets. This is MUCH more elegant than my suggestion of wearing rubber bands on his wrist.
Replying to
@britt@mstdn.games Found it! Will also share it with our school counselor and resources teachers.
As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD at 54, I will probably want some of these as well.

@annaleen@wandering.shop Mazel tov! I have this on hold from my library but grabbed the audiobook of The Terraformers.

@firestorm Oh, that is frustrating! I will ensure your videos are unrestricted at my schools. Hoping others in education are able to do the same. @crimethinc @pmpress#teaching
Random thought I cannot shake: “I Want it That Way” is about a girlfriend who really wants to try pegging her boyfriend. https://genius.com/Backstreet-boys-i-want-it-that-way-lyrics
