doesn’t have to be anything special. can be online or in real life.
mine is slowroads.io. very relaxing to just stroll around sometimes. i have it bookmarked on my sidebar when i need to decompress and don’t want to boot up a game
finally captured a photo of my dog that looks just like the mom from beetlejuice. she does this every time she yawns, and it always cracks me up.
for reference, this is the scene:
this is perfect!! thank you for sharing i love it
yesterday when I was walking the dog a kid came up to us & he was so excited to see him. he asked if he could pet him & play with him & I said yeah, & he smiled so wide it looked like it made his entire day. wholesome shit :)
Honestly dogowners like you are great! I often find myself cooing over dogs and I love when the owners are happy to share in the joy.
thanks haha, my dogs are chill so I always let them have some time with someone!
My partner and I recently became acquainted with a local dog named Boy! It was great, because when we saw him for the first time, we said, “Hey boy! What a good boy!” and his owner said, “That’s actually his name, so he already likes you two.”
That dog named boy loves to see us, and he gets so wiggly!
aw, I love funny pet names like that lol. one of our dogs is named bear even though he’s small & skinny as a twig, & sometimes people will just comment “he doesn’t look like a bear” & we’ll answer “we named him after teddy bears, not the big ones”. always gets a laugh
Ducklings. She wouldn’t let me start clearing the broken eggs yet, and there are a few more that might still be viable, but there are about fifteen in that cuddle puddle.

There was a nest of ducks next to the river behind my building a few years ago:
Zoom meeting. Manager’s husband trying to crawl behind her out of the camera’s view. He didn’t quite make it obviously. The manager was reading something so she didn’t notice everyone trying not to bust up laughing. Never thought I’d see one of those “zoom events” in the wild, but there it was.
Had a great weekend with some out of town family. Plenty of fun in the sun and water all weekend!
I randomly messaged a former colleague who I haven’t talked to in 7 years, which is not the kind of thing I normally do, and I got an excited reply a day later.
The little moth buddy I posted about was really fun. There’s been a surprising amount of interesting bugs where I’ve been working the past couple weeks, last night one of my coworkers spotted something that looked like a cross between a spider and a cricket, which I’ve yet to be able to identify.
One of my cats, who has mixed feelings about me, let me pet his perfect orange belly and purred about it. 😻
I always feel like there’s a sense of achievement when you win the love/trust of a cat
The weather. It’s been storming a lot where i live, and very misty. That kind of thing does something good to my brain.
Thank you for sharing that link! I like the low res trees.
Recently found out my partner likes my favorite podcast too! Now we can cuddle and listen together!
I just started a new job teaching and I overheard one of the students say to my boss that I was one of the best teachers they’d ever had. I nearly cried. It means the world to me. I feel like I’ve been a square peg in a round hole for years in my various jobs and now I’m finally doing something that fits.
Wife and I are buying our first house!
congratulations, that’s super exciting!!
Thanks!! It is!!
Posted something about keeping consistency. So many people commented great advice. People are so kind around here c:
Love your avatar!
Took a walk to the local farmer’s market on Sunday, was a beautiful day, got myself some veggies to make a delicious gazpacho that is still feeding my partner and I a couple days later. It was/is lovely!
My preschooler has developed a love for Mario Kart and loves to play with me. Last night, I convinced my mom (who has barely touched a controller, and then only to move it for cleaning) to play with us. It was such a fun bonding moment for 3 generations of women.
