My boss was all worried about his kid and explained to my bf, verbatim: "She was offered $170k/year with this new job. She can't live on that." After my bf recovered words, his obvious response was, "I would cut off my left nut for $170k."

I don't think I'm ok with White Sands National Park having to note this on their website.

It's me again doin little 5 point screens of every nursery (often family owned!!) selling house plants in Lowes. Homestead FL better never let me visit (im gonna visit)

i’m ready for the ‘zine renaissance

The National Dahlia Society in UK doesn't include the original name for dahlias anywhere. Just say cocoxochitl, Dahlia Society, I dare you.

Speaking of Carrie Poppy and the color pink, she shared this great article about color 🎨🌈🎀🌸 substack.com/home/post/p-...

Guess what, now that the cabinets and butcherblock countertop are in, the main pink wall detractors have come back to me and said, "I told [our boss] not to tell you, but it looks really good." As Carry Poppy says (on substack), "Color should enrich our lives!"

Reading about Michelle Trachtenburg who was one year older than me

Charisma Carpenter is a great writer. I don't really want to read a bio or anything but thank god she's been able to communicate so powerfully and well in recent years.

Sometimes my brain surprises me with how out of control it is like when I actually thought "maybe Mackenzie Scott could be convinced to pay down the deficit"

Millais's The Order of Release. Relatable.

Old guyz Limp Bizkit is extremely good. So chill, so tired, but not apathetic. youtu.be/CsG9iNnjlRw?...

Got into it with a lazy, passive aggressive coworker who everyone's done with, like finally i was the one who had the balls. A 5'4 woman squaring up and calling out a 6'4 good ol boy. I'm in a gives no fucks moment right now, I'll do it. He apologized later.

Witchhazel break

Im in a mitsubishi mirage rental (because ppl literally cannot stop hitting my truck with their vehicles) and a coworker said "it looks like a skittle"

Jamaica Kincaid: Gardening is a kind of colonialism vimeo.com/704058055

I would love to find a venue for an op ed about the fact that all of the general loss of rights happening under the Trump administration has been occurring with an accelerated timeline and severity in the carceral system for years.

belated bday to a favorite - it still slaps. in particular, Stormare's performance as the capital D Devil has yet to be equaled

Good morning from when Jamaica Kincaid was in Holly Woodlawn’s band until she was replaced by Debbie Harry. https://www.instagram.com/p/CsUuEG5Mke-/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Reading Jamaica Kincaid again with great ambivalence, as always.

Im always wondering how some people get to wear dress clothes in person and others attend in a jumpsuit on video with poor connection and the inability to even see the judge because of the way the camera is pointed. I sat on a jury pre-covid and the defendant was present but still in a jumpsuit. ???

a secret about me is that I'm obsessed with adaptations of & riffs on Beauty and the Beast. I dug up the '78 Czech adaptation on youtube and have become a little obsessed with it - it's a darker film than Cocteau's, very sensual, opulent, gothic. blends in a bit of Psyche & Eros. loved it.

If it were a Zombielamd situation, my twinkie would be a Cadbury creme egg.
