Yesterday was an emotional rollercoaster. Got some incredibly good news and some potentially upsetting news. I have a massage appointment today between shifts and am so looking forward to it. My whole body is like one big tension knot.

It's pretty funny that Trump has engineered a geo-political game of chicken between two societies - the US and China - where the winner will be the society most willing to withstand economic pain and inconveience in furtherance of some future national collective goal. Not really a US strong suit!

Sesame would like you to know that he's not mad, he's just disappointed. 😕

Pro tip: stirring a glob of Nutella into a glass of oat milk is not an effective or efficient way to make chocolate milk 🤷🏻‍♀️

There is no ethical way to enjoy Harry Potter at this point. I'm sorry, but if you are old enough to know better and you buy her stuff, you're complicit. It sucks. I get it. But she is using what you give her to do unfathomable evil. If you value trans lives, there's no other choice here.

Pro tip: don't be like Nancy. This is an unpopular opinion for good reason. 😒

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

Thanks to a change in medication I was restless and jittery this afternoon so I decided to do the mature thing and take a stupid little walk for my stupid mental health. 😫 Today's critter count was three bunnies, one fully black squirrel, and one grumpy cat who did not respond to my pspsps.

now this is hard hitting journalism

Do you ever think about how dystopian the phrase "earn a living" is? 🤔

why the fuck didn’t they just call this “CAULIFLOUR”

Something that's fun is when you haven't needed your anxiety medication in so long that you can't find it when you actually suddenly do need it again 🤦🏻‍♀️

Wanna help a college student with a CS project? This group is doing user research for an app to help parents with cooking healthy and consistent meals. They’re especially looking for families with 3-10yo kids. If you’ve got like 2-3m, they’d love responses. forms.gle/HcMPahsXQKyC...

Love this sign

Things you never knew you needed to know but now you really need to know....

A huge bumblebee buzzing at the window woke Nick Furry from a sound sleep on my lap. He bolted upright (no that's okay, I didn't need those layers of skin anyway 🙄), then was disappointed to realize the bee was on the other side of the window so he couldn't get at it. Poor dumb boy. 🐝🐈‍⬛

they do not even bother to pretend

I miss the days when everyone in the Boston area tweeted their rainbow pix to @universalhub.com and he retweeted them all so your feed was all rainbowy... 😕 Anyway here are mine! 🌈

It's actually wild. There's literally no mention of why Jackie Robinson is important in the MLB press release. At all. Just that he "played his first Major League game on April 15, 1947."

Sometimes when you're petting Nick Furry, he gets so overstimulated/overwhelmed by how much he loves you that he has no choice but to bite your nose. It's a small price to pay for having this handsome doofus in your life. 🥰

The U.S. House has passed a bill that voting rights groups have repeatedly warned would make it harder for millions of Americans, including married women, to vote.

For a brief, shining moment in time, I had all of our prescriptions going to the same pharmacy. But now somehow we have prescriptions to pick up at three different pharmacies. 😭 Whyyyyyy

When you work at a library and have a moment to yourself in the stacks. 😂 #LibrariesRock

Do as the crow says

I am the number nine rookie! Go me! 😊💕

Here I am in nerd heaven 😂
