What's a silly fact about you that you'd like to share? I will start: I was a cheerleader for my church basketball team, the Uni-Unis. (Guess what denomination.)

Hey , any idea why bees are super into this tiny potted plant, and what I can do about it? I don't want to harm anyone, but I also don't want bees gathering in the patio next to my bedroom. (Sorry the picture is so bad - I was zooming in to try to capture the bee in the pot when her partner flew up behind me and I scooted inside.)

For Dark Reading, Jai Vijayan wrote this interesting piece on how China is positioning the US as the aggressor in their low-key cyberwar (my words; sorry, still on my first coffee): https://www.darkreading.com/cybersecurity-operations/china-dogged-campaign-victim-of-us-hacking

Oh! I do have a picture to share, even if it's not the picture of a great horned owl I saw near Santa Monica Boulevard one night. It's pretty close geographically, though.

At the big age of 52, I am realizing that I will always be a bad photographer not because of my equipment or skill, but because I can't get my eyes to work correctly. Oh well. It would be nice if The Lady Catherine had a portraiteur worthy of her, but the world will have to miss out on 5-15% of her beauty.

My sweet TLC is very relaxed as well.

@melissabeartrix This is spiffy! Have you ever worked on a watch like this? https://mamot.fr/@mvhorlo/111903283431638935

I am in the "buy Flonase in case this is eustachian tube congestion" phase of vertigo. It's not doing shit.

spiegelmama, to animals

Look at Nibbler smiling in his sleep. He loves it when I wear a fleece onesie.

The Lady Catherine lives a princess and the pea lifestyle, without the pea.

Well, clearly the new vertigo medicine didn't have the drowsy effect on me, but at least it also didn't do shit for the vertigo.

The Lady Catherine, while not a lap cat, will sometimes hop up next to me to get even more and deeper pets.

spiegelmama, to animals

Nibbler wonders why no pet.

spiegelmama, to animals

Moments before disaster. Still happy and mutual grooming right now, but Nibbler always presses his luck.

Chocolate beer = delicious.

Beer chocolate = disgusting.

My crows are outside yelling for more snacks. Guess I'll get rid of those slivered almonds - hope the crows are OK with that.

I'm finally getting into my first edit of my novel, and I'm pleased with a lot of it so far. I definitely need to insert some things, and clean other parts up, but I like the writing and enjoy the characters. Phew.

Hahaha, no. I'm not going to attempt to address my potential risk for heart attack by filling my veins with bacon fat.

What's that atmosphere phenomenon where bits of rainbow appear in clouds? That happened the other day while I was hanging out with my yard friends.

This is what I'm up against in the mornings.

spiegelmama, to catloaf

My kid texted me to come watch "loaf content" - what he meant was a YouTuber whose cat is named Loaf, but I came into the room and saw this little .

Can you imagine how Gary Hart, who lost his entire political career due to a consensual affair with an adult, must feel watching a rapist conman becoming the presumptive nominee for president? (Not that we haven't had rapists and conmen as president before, but this is on the record.)

Hmm, I thought I got this from mastodon, but I must have gotten it from Tumblr.
