@Beanc I had to block mine from everything we were both on. She doesn't have great searching skills, though, and I'm thankful for that. I don't really have anything to generally hide, but I had to get away from her to save myself.

@codeWhisperer Sloth rust.

@Anouk This has been a favorite of mine for years. I'm so glad somebody else loves it! Everybody I've ever played it for was hearing it for the first time.

@LnzyHou I've always loved dandelions, and they'll always be welcome in my yard no matter how many people say, "It's just a weed. You can buy stuff to get rid of them."

It's December. My outdoor plants had to come in before the end of October. We've been running heat and wearing jackets and long sleeves for a while now. We've had light snow twice.

I took this picture in my yard today.

@redenigma I went to look this type of skink up because I've never heard of them. It's interesting that they come from the same area and look similar! I can see how one could easily be mistaken for the other in the wild if somebody can't get a good look at them.

@redenigma He's an African sand boa. That's why I pay attention when he feels like sticking his head out of the sand...he spends most of his time completely buried in it!

Shai-Hulud is feeling social today. Resting with his head out isn't as rare as it used to be, but still pretty uncommon. He flicks his tongue at me if I sit and talk to him.

@vo1de @kel If you're Internet Old, you have seen some stuff! 😂

@chaos440 This is beautiful. Absolute art!

@vo1de @kel Even that reference is too close! I can still see it!

I have knitted 81 hexagons this year for getting started on my blanket. I'm trying not to think too much about how many need to be done (400+). Number 82 is on my needles. #CoSoKnitting

@duglop There's somebody out there who needs him. Somebody who knows grief and will accept that he needs to have a home where he can process his grief his own way. I hope he and that somebody find each other.

People are getting excited about the new Dune trailer and I'm like...Y'all. No. This war is bullshit. Look at those enormous sandworms! They could just swallow everybody and end this!

Those sandworms are beautiful. 🥰

I want to knit a shrug. It's like a shawl and a scarf had a baby, and nobody knows which side of the family the sleeves came from. But I need needles I don't often use and would need to turn a light on and hunt through a couple of boxes. I can't do that at 1:30 am with a sleeping spouse in the room. Hmm...maybe *I* should try this "sleep" thing.

@feloneouscat There has to be some field of study on why hair grows at different speeds. I'll probably end up looking it up next time I can't sleep. 😄

This does make me think my grandfather just didn't tell us what hair he was losing. He'd just shrug and say, "Been bald for years. There's nothin' to lose."

@feloneouscat I ended up learning about this when my niece was going through chemo. It's the rapidly growing cells that get weakened. Since you said the leg hair has reduced slower, that makes me think it grows slower. That really makes me wonder how fast eyelashes are growing!

Everything is icy blue and white with sprinkles of holly and mistletoe. I'm still going with colors of The Harvest.

And still saying "The Harvest" like it's some cryptic thing that makes you want to get away before The Festivities start.
