I have waited entirely too long to choose a book for my trip next week. What’s a book you would recommend that my library is likely to have readily available in paperback? Do NOT assume I’ll have already read whatever you’re thinking of.

I want an insulated water bottle with a lid that won’t leak and also a straw. What am I looking for? Is it Owala?

If I, a non-Nazi, made a hand gesture that was widely speculated to be a Nazi salute, then I (as a non-Nazi) would be tripping all over myself to correct the record. But that’s just me I guess.

I was mad about the TikTok ban because it felt like a whole lot of government overreach but I’m equally mad about the un-ban because what do you mean a guy who isn’t even president yet can undo a law a whole bunch of elected lawmakers and the Supreme Court voted for??

I love that the Tom Holland Umbrella video seems to be having a resurgence, but my mind is blown that there are apparently so many people who haven’t seen it. It is the single best piece of internet in existence, where have y’all been?

I’m pretty devoted to honeycrisp apples but I picked up some cosmic crisps on sale and holy moley, this may be the best apple I’ve ever eaten.

I randomly decided to watch Twilight since I haven’t seen it in years. It really is terrible. Edward is a walking red flag before you even get into the vampire thing and Bella is an idiot with no self preservation instincts whatsoever.

I never really considered that I probably wasn’t the only one who sprinkled sugar over a bowl of Rice Krispies but I see they’re now selling Frosted Krispies and what do you know, it’s Rice Krispies with sugar sprinkled on.

The New Year diet ads are starting. The one galling me the most? “Every woman over x pounds needs to try this!” (where x = my current weight - 5) SHUT UP

Made the classic mistake of walking into a store and trying on a bra the same size as the one I was wearing, failing to consider that it is a million years old and completely stretched out. Hurt my own feelings. Do not recommend.

I listened to Midnights for the first time in a while and was momentarily thrown when Karma ended and the album kept going. Tell me you’ve watched too many grainy livestreams without telling me… 😂

Raise your hand if you stayed up until 2:30 a.m. watching a grainy livestream of the last Eras concert ever and you have #noregerts but you are also fucking exhausted. 🤚

I’m not a conspiracy-minded person, but I suddenly have a LOT of ads in my FB feed for things like 🔫 accessories and Tr*mp pajamas and Christmas ornaments. Like all of a sudden, bam. So many. I have given the algorithm absolutely no reason to think I would want these things. Why is this happening.

@marniemarn.bsky.social How’s your water situation? We’re still out.

I took cranberry sauce to two different gatherings yesterday and in both cases the host also had cranberry sauce but we ate mine and they kept theirs and now I have leftovers and no cranberry sauce.

(Related: if you’re a small business owner, don’t forget to file your BOIR by the end of the year. Those fines are no joke.)

I’m working on some reports at work that require me to get copies of my clients’ driver’s licenses. Tell me why almost every single man’s license photo looks like a mug shot. Why are men like this.

I saw a tiktok where a guy joked that the reason we are suddenly learning about the aliens is because climate change is destroying the ocean they were quietly and peaceably living in and now they have to do something about it.

We’re really calling these skeets? Like that’s what we’re doing?

I heard a holiday version of Ice Ice Baby (compete with sleigh bells!) in Old Navy just now so I think I’m done shopping for the day.

What

This is a WILD headline when the “mess he created” involved stealing tens of thousands of dollars from the county.

Not-so-gentle reminder that almost all elective plastic surgery is gender-affirming.

On top of everything else I saw a cyber truck on my way to work this morning ☠️

Where are the mother fuckers who voted for Biden in 2020 and couldn’t show up for Kamala in 2024? Show yourselves.

We picked up some of these and because holiday scents are my favorite, I had the brilliant idea to put one in my car. Let me tell you, if you want your car to smell like a craft store, this is the way to go. In a good way, but also like you condensed the entire store to the size of your car.

Still relevant!

The ads: Ladies, you don’t have to tell your husband who you voted for. My husband: I just copied your ballot when I filled mine out.

They’ve been driving around with Let’s Go Brandon and FBJ stickers on their cars for four years. He’s got one foot out the door, pauses to be like, “I think you guys suck too,” and they’re going to get all pearl-clutchy about it? Fuck all the way off.
