Pet insurance is a scam. It might be worse than people insurance idk!!!

Just got an invite for my 20th high school reunion. Surely that’s not right. 2005 was only 5 years ago, yeah?

I really enjoyed this one. An absolutely beautiful film.

I’m so glad the Dumb Friends League changed their name to Humane Colorado! We love a modern, non-huh-what-is-that name change!

French is such a neat but silly language. Like what do you mean pizza is feminine and croissants are masculine?

I love myself too much to watch that man speak live.

TIL that there’s a *coffin* behind Andre 3000 in the Hey Ya! video. Like. It’s been 20+ years and nobody notices that… which only adds to the genius of the song and how VERY correct the assumption about it is “You don’t wanna hear me! Y’all just wanna dance!” GENUIS.

Department Of Education Sternly Announces It Is Counting To 3 theonion.com/departm...

10 years ago today, I ran a successful district debate tournament. And then promptly went into labor.

At the playground with my son, and have heard four languages within five minutes (English, Spanish, Ukrainian, Arabic). People who dislike this are, indeed, zero fun.

Why would anyone in their right mind upset Dolly?!? Or you know, hamper literacy efforts?

Don’t get gaslit into thinking this was anything but fascism. Call it out. Be obnoxious and loud. Fascists and nazis don’t get to be comfortable.

Beyond awful and sad. Our society consistently fails children. I student-taught about 30 minutes south of this district, and know folks from there. So much of the area (rural & ag-focused) relies on immigrants to function. When can we call the politics that endorse this a death cult?

My son came home from his school field trip to the state history museum, excited to tell me alllll about the Dust Bowl. I’m such a proud mom.

Just started a new sourdough starter! Its name is Breadgar Allan Dough 🍞🍞🍞

This makes me so sad. Endometriosis is killing people.

38 trips around the sun… neat! 🎉🎂🥳🎈🎁🎊💌💝

Seeing the LED Zeppelin documentary in IMAX was a wise choice. I love a good rock doc.

I need to rewatch the halftime show because that was 10/10.

The part of George Orwell’s 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.” The goal is to keep you from ever having to think.

My son’s birthday cake request for his upcoming 10th: “Legos and corgis, also maybe Taylor Swift and dinosaurs too.” So. Anyone know how to make this Lego/corgi/Swiftie/dinosaur extravaganza cake come to fruition?

🪧Colorado folks: King Soopers is on strike! Don’t shop there for the time being. Stand in solidarity with your neighbors!

Pretty great history website alert: livingnewdeal.org

History without at least a little discomfort is propaganda. Remember that.

January and November are my least favorite months. The worst! But this January is January-ing like no January before.

Best Picture noms I’ve seen so far: Anora, A Complete Unknown, Conclave, Wicked, & The Substance. Liked these all a ton! How are The Brutalist, Dune 2, I’m Still Here, Emilia Perez, & Nickel Boys?

My sweet 4 year old dog is going back to the hospital after a relapse of probable IMHA. This is so unfair and I hate it. 😢

There were better shows on Netflix when it cost $10 a month

The Robbie Williams as a monkey biopic is shockingly good

A little pupdate: Betty is doing better! Still not out of the woods, but out of the danger zone. She took her blood transfusion like a champ. She’ll continue getting monitored and has follow up appointments soon. But she’s home now. 🩷🩷🩷 Thanks everyone for reaching out and sending love

for every 50 likes (within reason) i’ll put a spice girl in a horror movie.

My 4 year old corgi Betty landed in the dog ICU for severe anemia and potential bone marrow issues 💔 She’s staying overnight to get stabilized and run more tests, all while remaining the goodest girl.

There’s a Nostradamus-level prediction in every 30 Rock episode

❌ Watch a new show ✅ Rewatch one of my comfort shows (30 Rock this go around) for the billionth time

The mood in LA is anxious/devastated/exhausted/ braced for more. It's NOT all rich people. Most are artists who scraped together a down payment. And the fire has leveled Altadena, a historically Black tight-knit community. List of GoFundMes that could use love: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Start a big dumb project that's going to go nowhere. It's fun. It's pointless. It's like gambling with free lottery tickets. Any of this shit you just make up could become a bestseller. Give into the literary hysteria in 2025.

My endometriosis diagnosis journey involved way too many ER visits, exhausting my sick leave, fainting, and finally a doctor who believed me. I was formally diagnosed with stage 3 endo via intensive abdominal surgery in 2016. This would be such a game changer. Honestly, it would be amazing. 🥺
