Groceries are so dang expensive. $288 at Walmart for myself and my two teenagers for the week. 😫 Yes, they’ve been expensive for a while, but it hasn’t been this bad.

Have you ever seen or shared an 'oh no' cartoon? Did you know the creator is a queer Welsh artist? Did you know they're being agressively pursued & harassed w/lawsuits from a US organisation trying to steal their intellectual property? Did you know you can donate to cover the horrific legal costs?

I heard earlier that if our kids aren't doing the things we did at their age, it's because we've been healing generational trauma and they no longer have to be as self-sufficient at an early age as we did. So, why do I still feel like I'm failing to make sure my kids can do those things?

I used to take three different medicines for my back, but my VA doctor cut me off of them in 2019. I’ve managed okay without them for the most part, I mostly just use naproxen, but I really do miss the muscle relaxer.

Me, on the phone with my dad’s debt collectors, explaining that he died in March. “Well, we still expect payment from his estate.” “As next of kin, you have an obligation to pay his debts.” Do they hear the words that come out of their mouths with any situational awareness?

Now would be a bad time to have a panic attack. I have to feed the boys. It’s a good thing I can do that and my breathing exercises at the same time.

My 13yo asked me if I had any plans for Valentine’s Day. I said no because I’m not sure “eat carbs and cry” counts as plans.

13yo at Target: Should I get the Hello Kitty pajamas or the Barbie ones? The Hello Kitty ones are fuzzy inside, but how can you say no to Barbie? Me: The #Oscars people did . . . __________ Too soon? The look 13yo gave me said yes.

I was really proud of this post. 🥺 Writers, I made a post about 6 jobs in sci-fi/fantasy that we see all the time, and 6 jobs in sci-fi/fantasy we don't see enough, along with some ideas on how to make the latter work in fiction. theangrynoodle.com/science-fict...

You know what sucks? When you can’t tell if a decision was bad and you’re wanting to make it right, or if the decision was a good one and you’re just regretting having had to make it.

Hey folks—if you type “thank my driver” in the search bar on Amazon, and click the “Thank my driver” bar that pops up after you search, they are tipping the driver of your recent order $5. I’m shocked, but it works. Please tip delivery workers, especially at this time of year.
