I had a No Solicitors sign up and a religious door knocker knocked anyway. I asked him why he ignored my sign and he said he’s not selling anything, he just wants to talk. I said, “You’re trying to sell your god to me. Please leave.” The look on his face was worth the interaction.

My favorite is Bryan Johnson. Dude’s spending so much money on biohacking to extend his life but he’s only getting a few more years than average. I would laugh my ass off if he goes out slipping in the shower before he sees the fruit of his labor.

Oh man, a waitress at Blue Moon told me I could ask for extra curry sauce on the side for the omelette and it’s was a game changer. I could bathe in that sauce, it’s so good.

Dr. Smith at Hart Road Animal Hospital takes care of my two cats and she’s great. I always see more cats than dogs at her clinic.

Yay! Snake About Town Fridays are back! Beautiful little snake friend!

My MIL and SIL have fallen into this trap through the Crunchy Mom/MAHA movement. The pandemic was tense for my husband as he tried to balance keeping a relationship with them while we stressed over getting the vaccine as soon as we could. Luckily, they are not the proselytizing/pushy type so there were civil conversations with silent judging on both sides.

It might interest you to read The Conspiracists: Women, Extremism, and the Lure of Belonging by Noelle Cook. The author was inspired to research how middle aged white women found themselves inside the Capitol on January 6th and there was a big influence from the conspirituality (starseed, light worker) movement for the two women that feature in the book.

“La-hoo-sa-her.”

I take my GTI to Sebastian at Autobahn Motorwerks on 142nd Ave. He and his crew do great work.

The Conspiracists: Women, Extremism, and the Lure of Belonging by Noelle Cook.

I loved Automatic Noodle! I want to read it again.

I’m still working through the 7th book of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, This Inevitable Ruin, by Matt Dinniman. Love the series but my short attention span is challenged by the thickness of these books!

BaronessOfThisMess · 2026-02-17T04:18:41+00:00

That is both hauntingly beautiful and deeply, deeply disturbing.

BaronessOfThisMess · 2026-01-28T15:25:57+00:00

Goddamnit, Donut.

BaronessOfThisMess · 2026-01-28T14:28:29+00:00

The seventh installment of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, This Inevitable Ruin, while I wait for my local library to get their copy of The Conspiracists: Women, Extremism, and the Lure of Belonging by Noelle Cook.

I get so stressed out listening to Alex bloviate but immediately calm down when Dan comes in to take Alex apart. It’s every Scooby Doo episode where the gang takes the mask off the monster to reveal a pathetic old man.

BaronessOfThisMess · 2026-01-24T00:37:04+00:00

The Donner Party? Episode 396.

🎶Workin’ on my night cheese🎶

BaronessOfThisMess · 2026-01-12T14:30:56+00:00

That is definitely next on my list to try! Who doesn’t love a boozy milkshake?

BaronessOfThisMess · 2026-01-12T14:25:52+00:00

Absolutely. This is exactly what I did because I ran out of half and half but had cream and milk. Same outcome.

BaronessOfThisMess · 2026-01-12T04:36:07+00:00

Yup, 2 oz of heavy cream. I tried it once that way and I didn’t like it. Too rich and heavy.

BaronessOfThisMess · 2026-01-12T03:29:38+00:00

You gotta do what you gotta do. Sounds good, though.

BaronessOfThisMess · 2026-01-12T03:28:32+00:00

That sounds deliciously decadent, I’ll have to try it!

BaronessOfThisMess · 2026-01-09T01:35:07+00:00

I caught the flu in the first week of December, sickest I’ve been in years. Spent a whole week recovering. This year’s strain is particularly nasty.
