This isn't just about retinol, but about the fear-mongering for clicks that's rampant on social media, especially TikTok.

Well that bird sure has a lot of fur 🤦‍♀️🐿️😆 #squirrel #birdwatching

Yet another anti-squirrel set-up doing its job. No squirrels to be seen. 😆🦝

These guys tho!!! I wish I could have gotten video of when the top raccoon decided to shake the feeder like some kind feral pole dancer. Needless to say, the feeder is now empty. 😆🤣🦝

How respirators & filters actually work and which type is best?

I see many claims that masks/filters don't work. This document will explain *how* they block viruses much smaller than the size of the holes in the filter and why you can still smell nasty things while wearing effective masks. 🧪🧵1/

He never manages to get any seeds, but the squirrel keeps trying! I have to admire the tenacity 😆

Whenever a salesperson asks me what I’m shopping for 😁💀💐🦋

For anyone who needs them, here are the Golden Girls Prayer Candles on your feed to get you through the holidays. 🕯️🎄 If you need more than the image on your feed, I bought them here: www.illuminidol.com/search?q=gol...

Slowly working my way back to tango. Thankfully, 'tango waits for you' #Eltangoteespera #argentinetango

Does anyone else get New Year cards because they know they'll inevitably be too late mailing out the Christmas cards? Just me?

My "everything that isn't tango-related" artwork is under "Marika Johnson" here: www.redbubble.com/people/marik... #christmascards #blackfriday

The arrival of my tango cards in no way indicates that I will actually mail my cards out on time. 😆🎨✉️) . . . now where are my stamps?

Shameless plug: My tango shop is here if anyone's on the look out for tango designs - www.redbubble.com/people/infin... ) #argentinetango

Do you ever create an artwork and think, "I don't know what the hell this is . . ."? I'm supposed to categorize my art when I load onto my platforms, but I don't know what to call this. I painted half a cheetah and added polka dots. What do I even call that? Eclectic? #artlife #artistsonbsky

Just in case anyone is wondering. 😆🎨🖌️ #artlife #artistsonbsky

Dennis bought me a pair of GretaFlora tango shoes for Christmas! He may or may not know that yet. 😆🤣
(srsly, they only cost the price of shipping so he’s pleased with the deal. 😁) #tango #argentinetango

I made a thing! 😁 I created an approximation of the Orquesta Típica Victor La Cumparsita vinyl album label graphic design. Then set the music notes animation and finally found the right track (and officially bought it from iTunes instead of having it from my subscription) to set it to. 🎨🎼🖌

This will take some time y'all, but I'll try to make it worth it! 😆
