After @mordotus.bsky.social and my son sang happy birthday to me this morning, my son: “Did you enjoy your unskippable ad?” 😆

Man can’t live by bread alone, but I just might for the next week. (My amazing hubby got me a bread maker.)

My son, watching Speed for the first time: “This is a horrible concept for a movie, but they’re executing it really well.”

The most savage reactions I've seen in response to the shooting of the United Healthcare CEO come straight from the nursing subreddit, where people who are clearly used to dealing with this insurer assess the incident: www.reddit.com/r/nursing/co...

That look that your mother gives you when you’ve crossed the line? It’s mominous.

Happy anniversary, @mordotus.bsky.social! You’re my heart and my best friend. Here’s to the next 20 years. 🥂

Make a band milder Eight Inch Nails

The plants in my xeriscaped back yard continue to bloom. This makes me exceptionally happy.

John Oliver’s coverage of Project 2025 this week is outstanding.

Stir fry rice with egg and teriyaki chicken (and lots of veggies). It’s a lot of work, but totally worth it. Bonus: leftovers (if there are any) are even better.

I used to walk from school to the town library, where I’d call my mom on a pay phone to come pick me up. I distinctly remember being incredulous when I had to start carrying a quarter with me to make the call instead of a dime.

What kind of food do we have to celebrate 34 felony convictions for Donald Trump? Orange Chicken?

Me: Damn group texts. Why isn’t there a way to leave…. Ooh. Hide alerts. Yes, please. Thanks, Apple.

“What’s Y2K style?” “It’s what you wear when you stay up all night at work for no good reason.”

My braces acted like an antenna. No, music didn’t play when I opened my mouth, but I regularly had dreams like what was on tv at the time, and I was consistently distracted.

It’s from the other place, but it’s also 100% true.

Positive for COVID and on Paxlovid. I’m isolating to protect my community & my immediate family. On day 5, I’m going a bit stir-crazy in the room where I’m spending 95% of my time. Books and streaming are great, but… dear Blue Sky, will you please provide additional distraction? #autoimmune

Kaiser just sent me an email about how to lighten my mental load. How about fewer emails, MFs??!

My son forgot the name, so he called the Holy Grail the Goblet of Destiny. Ten out of ten. No notes.

I present to you: Good design, unintended consequences. The United app deletes your digital boarding pass after the flight takes off. That works really well unless the flight’s diverted to another airport for a bit. The gate agents had to print boarding passes to let folks back on the plane.

I’ve been on a diverted flight many times. I’ve never seen an airline more apologetic and accommodating than this one that was supposed to land in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Hmm. I wonder what the difference is. 🤔
