@SimonWoods Oh, I love this image! Thank you for sharing! :)

@val About 1am! :)

Closing up the house to go to bed and in the back of my mind kinda wondering where Cal is - and then I glance at the kitchen table as I’m about to turn off the light and look who’s in his box….

Texting with a friend and they joked, “if I make it out of this panini alive”, and that’s my new favorite phrase.

Honestly the only thing I really regret about bowing out of violin as a hobby (ha!) was never learning how to play the violin part of TMBG’s Istanbul.

Danvers says hello! He’s our friends' grandpuppy!

He’s such a wee leetle guy, weighs practically nothing - he dances around the room floating on four little deer legs, such a contrast to the two cast iron tank doggos I live with who regularly bruise my spleen. 😂

@Miraz Oh that's so funny! :D I'm a weirdo with colors, too, but it feels like only on paper, like when I'm making art I get real fussy about which micro-shade of blue I want? And yet my neighbors have asked me twice to comment on their house colors and I could NOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE. Like one was sage green and one was.....also sage green? But with a different name and apparently a "totally different color"? Maybe a shade off but in the shifting light of a single day, sun and partial sun and shade and street lamp, how on earth can I tell?

@odd Thanks! Yeah it's a great word. :)

Ooooo! Decided to play with some watercolors and I broke out the glitter paint and now it’s a party.

Just added “falderal” to my list of favorite words.

(the whole list is at eilloh.net/words)

Our housemate just related an anecdote to me in the kitchen that involved the baby shark song, which is now stuck in my head, which means he has to move out now. It’s been a nice fifteen years but I’m popping him up a tent in the garden after this.

Me and the Yoopiter standing on the porch watching the rain come down in massive buckets, pouring off the roof, running down the street in a little river of pine needles and dried grass.

@odd Oh yeah, loving the lower temps, too. Although my shorts might be a liability later! :)

It’s noon in Oregon and the water has hit - we’ve got pouring rain and thunder, but no lightning so far! And a big crack in the clouds where bright blue sky peeks in like it’s laughing at how wet we’re getting. I love this time of year. <makes tea>

@V_ I don't know if they're big? I had a friend who did them years ago and that's how I knew about them. You just write a short message that says thanks for being a voter and please don't forget to vote in the November 5th election. It's really simple but apparently it really works to increase voter turnout!

@aeryn It's soooo worth the read! So heartwarming. And FUNNY. :)

@micro.blog/val Oh thank you! :)

@V_ There were three scripts and I chose the nice one that asks people to please remind their friends and family to vote. Way less stalkerish! :)

@ddanielson Whoah!! Neither have I, that sounds wild! (Also, rather wide?)

@Miraz They offer classes in the fall, I'm going to try and go! :)

@Miraz She would absolutely offer nose boops in response. :)
