Chicken Parmesan soup is perfect for a snowy night. 🍽️ 🍜

Rewatching a movie that has a scene featuring a butt naked Dennis Hopper, as one does

🍗 😺 🪑

A funny story and how it can relate to etymology: When I was little, my dad tried making up a sign for Pinocchio - a P going out from the nose. My preschool teacher was extremely upset with him over that sign, lmao.

SEE1: See, we invented some signs for months! Like July is supposed to be for fireworks, isn't that neat? SEE2: We're going to borrow most of them, except for those terrible ones. You are aware that looks more like a different kind of fireworks, right?

The Bridge (2024)

True love is when a yapper finds a listener and doesn’t mind when they don’t say anything back because they were too busy staring at their lips and considering shutting them up with a kiss.

getting fired from my closed captioning job for writing "[speaking English]" for all English dialogue

Reading about Signed Exact English and so much of its promotional materials are like "this should be a bridge to ASL! We want kids using SEE grow up to be adults using ASL!" and... that's not how it always happened.

Rewatching Through Deaf Eyes and I'm remembering why Bernard Bragg's autobiography shook me so much. He's very charming in this, but in the book, he was more transparent about his awfulness

Reading Stranger at the Gate, memoir by this gay guy who grew up conservative Christian. He says as a child (doesn't specify what age), his devout grandma told him that she gave up sex with her husband so she could dedicate her life to Jesus and what the everloving fuck

Paul Rudd looking embarrassed in Chiefs gear lmao

Me: *explaining about cordyceps* Imagine being able to think for yourself but being unable to choose to move anything. Wife: Trump needs that. Me: Would the cordyceps be kinder, though?

If I fits, I sits

Rewatching Sweeney Todd and how many white shirts must that man be going through in a week?!

Rereading my Russian fairy tale novel and this line catches my eye: "Mikhail was more inflexible than most of the other world leaders were. As a result, most of Europe’s leaders hated having to deal with Russia." Huh. Maybe I should pick this up again and try rewriting some of it.

Reminder that Kroger, Chase, Apple, Microsoft & Delta have also all kept their DEI policies in place.

It's a good morning for mimosas and breakfast tacos.

hey you know what would be cool, if anyone, at any level, in any branch of the government did even one (1) thing to try to put the brakes on any of the terrible shit being carried out right now

there is no "defensible use case" for chatgpt. do your own work and use your own brain or fuck off

Reading Graeme Clark's biography because I was curious about the development of the CI. It's interesting that I'm reading him going "yeah I had to be careful to develop xyz to make this part safer" while knowing there's plenty of other surgeons who weren't as careful.

Rep. Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender member of Congress, is asked how she has been treated: "Most members have been respectful, have been warm and welcoming...I was proud to be the first freshman Democrat to introduce legislation this Congress, bipartisan legislation." I love this! 💕

Me: dumps grits into my coffee cup Benj: All in one breakfast! Me: ...I guess the universe is telling me to have oatmeal for breakfast instead

Reminds me of the disaster that's Lone Tree City on the RTD line. There was supposed to be a whole complex built up around that station and the previous one (RidgeGate), then COVID happened. Now RG has an apartment building nearby but LTC is still a weirdly desolate station.

Buc-ee's has this sandwich called the Alamo Turkey, so I made a copycat- turkey, pepper jack, tomatoes and jalapeno mayo (jalapeno hot sauce+mayo). I subbed spicy pickles for the pickled jalapenos and it was great #SandwichSky

Made 40 clove chicken with bacon green beans and (off screen) biscuits for dinner. That sauce is A+ 🍜 🍽️
