I love when my husband gets drunk because he laughs until he cries, and his face is so beautiful and unabashedly happy when he drunk-laughs! I just wish he could be this blissfully happy when he’s sober, too. Sometimes, a good dose of alcohol is what a body needs after an especially tense period.

How am I supposed to #cook meals and follow the #FODMAP diet? My husband got put on it yesterday by his gastro, and I really want to make it work, but onions and garlic are my salt and pepper. I just ruined a pan of meatloaf tonight. I’m desperate! I can handle lactose- and dairy-free, but not this!

Can native #Europeans please explain to my why it is so hard to find an A4 notebook with normal lines instead of this graph paper bullshit? I have tried to adapt, but the squares make my eyes cross and give me a migraine! I just want to be able to write things down without suffering while doing so.

Yesterday was Valentine’s Day and our 18th anniversary. I’ve officially been married longer than my parents were, and I’m still so incredibly happy in my relationship. But, to be told my whole life that I’d never amount to anything, makes milestones like this all the more bittersweet.

Watching this #Musk shitshow unfold just reinforces my opinion that our #Dem leaders are a bunch of spineless, vapid cowards. They post on SM and crow behind microphones but DO absolutely nothing. Frankly, it’s disgusting and infuriating as their constituent. Buncha nutless wonders…

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

We’ve been married 18 years come Friday. So, how is it I’m JUST finding out that not only does my husband look dashing and distinguished in a waistcoat, but that he fucking loves them?! We went shopping for a new shirt for him, and ended up with that amazing vest instead and I’m just 😍 at him!

This shit is why I say I am embarrassed to admit I’m an American. It’s surreal that this is even happening. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Maddow: If you don't have Bluesky yet, I recommend it. It is a social media network that doesn't make me want to stab myself in the eye with a rusty fork

your reminder that planes didn't start crashing until after Donny Convict fired the entire Airline Safety Committee and the Space Nazi forced the head of the FAA to quit and didn't replace him

Today is my monthly-ish shrink appointment, which is probably the only #doctor appointment I actually don’t dread. I don’t know how I got so damn lucky to get the #psychiatrist I did, but not feeling like I need to justify my literal existence to get my #ADHD meds is so freeing.

I decided to do half with pretzel wash, and half normal. Mini (half-size) croissants are definitely the way to go! #BakingSky #croissants #pastry #boulangerie #viennoiserie

SCOOP: A US Treasury threat intelligence analysis has designated DOGE staff an ‘insider threat'. An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”
