Farridge and all the rest of them must be making a pretty penny out of the Israeli govt.

on a cat shelf high on a wall, a white cat lays staring at us from on the top of a wooden cubby, a black cat peers at us from inside the cubby. Close up.

Cheerleaders are not only for cheering!

In a basketball game the net of a goal is tangled and they don’t get it untangled until the cheer squad comes by and lift a girl up in the air! She untangles the net and poof!

I really expected a huge cheer once they'd fixed it 🤔

My nice neighbors are moving to a bigger place and my landlord does definitely not want to sell our house - which is a bummer, because I/we would loved to buy it (at some point in future). Overall a lot of news that make me feel really shitty today :\

grb090423,
@grb090423@mastodon.social avatar

@vicgrinberg

That's such a rotten situation to be in! 😖

I know others who would love to buy the property they're renting (and are able to, financially) but it seems landlords love to landlord!

Story time!

One thing I absolutely love about living here is the way that neighbours helping neighbours is deeply ingrained in the culture of rural farms here.

Last night, just as I was about to go to bed, our neighbour called: "You guys have a tiny horse, right? Is your tiny horse in with my cows?"

OH NO. My tiny horses are ancient and not very ambitious, but maybe something scary happened and part of a fence fell down? We walked quickly through our neighbour's cow pasture to see.

Friends: Who are you listening to right now?

Me, very hip: Oh, you wouldn't know them.

This is a song playing the piano and howling and barking, and legit, he sounds pretty good. I've heard much more insane Mingus albums

I'm trying to make the laziest possible mozzarella (the game here is: how many steps of the instructions can I skip and still have something that resembles mozzarella? Today I'm going to try skipping the heating-in-warm-whey step and see if it's still approximately the same substance)

Today is supposed to be a day for me to catch up on farm stuff, but I also had an idea for a paper with a new way to show how dangerous and stupid Starlink is, so we'll see...

@MarvelStudios will we see Kahhori again? I just leaned of her character in What If…? And loved her character so much.

“what would happen if the Tesseract fell to Earth & landed in the sovereign Haudenosaunee Confederacy before the colonization of America … leading Kahhori, a young Mohawk woman, on a quest to discover her power.”

Yeah, I saw that 😐

I only have access to Netflix 🙄

    Since seeing this when I woke this morning, this has been my earworm for the day. I still love this song.

    Just found the ukulele chords for it 🙂

    Thanks for the reminder of it 👍
