Baking bread is my jam. Pictures of trees make me happy. No single one is the same.

Unusual past job: Dancing parade character at (then) EuroDisney. She/Her. Ally to πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ friends.

Favorite Mastadon thing: Learning from enthusiasts on topics I didn't know about before. This is fun!

Maya apparently thinks that the narrow curb between the wood chips and the grass at the park is a sidewalk that she needs to stay on. #dogsofmastodon

I'm pushing my and others' music today in particular b/c it's #BandcampFriday again, where #Bandcamp waives their 15% cut of musician's sales so we get a little bit more πŸ’΅ support directly from all YOU lovely cool hip people who buy our tracks!  

If you love #music, please find some of your favorite indie artists on Bandcamp and give them some πŸ’Έ support!

For as little as $1 you can make an artist's day and give them dopamine.   #NewMusic

Fascinating! I love linguistics and how it’s got such a view on history and culture. And also is good for re-examining my biases.

Why do people say AKS (or AX) instead of ASK?

4 years ago today since I added Run DMC ft. Aerosmith to a video of the shadow of a millipede walking.

My kid wrote this 65-word story off the top of her head when she was nine, and it remains one of the greatest things in the universe.
A friend of mine was recently in an exceptionally nasty car accident and woke up in the hospital two days later. His phone was destroyed in the accident and without it no one, not even he, could find his emergency contact phone numbers. (Of course he didn't know his friends' numbers. Who does, anymore? And accessing his contacts from a laptop would require 2FA by the destroyed phone.) So from now on he's going to carry those numbers on a piece of paper in his wallet. I will too!

#ThickTrunkTuesday

Here is a grand old cypress tree from the campground at Bodega Dunes, California.

There are lots of books about schools for magical kids: Hogwarts, Camp Half-Blood, Unseen University, Strange Academy, and on and on.

But what about a retirement home for magical grownups? Imagine reaching a ripe old age, children and grandchildren grown and gone, and one day you find a gold-embossed letter in your mailbox:

"Greetings!
You have been selected for residence at the Moonfrost Home for Exceptional Elders."

Somebody write a novel about a magical retirement home. I want to read it.

From Tumblr. I might as well post it myself...
