I don't want my politics to be "entertaining." I want them to be boring af.

my questions are as follows? 1. is anyone surprised at the epstien report accusation? 2. why did this take so long?

That's my senator and she is apparently STONE COLD, yo.

i'm calling it, Seattle. it's officially kaftan season. bust them out, my gender non-specific Mrs. Ropers. It. Is. Time.

i was on a call this morning and they said REALLY NICE THINGS about CANNED. producer @amyguth.bsky.social and I LOVE this project. if you've been fired, think workplace rules are removed from reality, or just like a good awkward story, you might like it too. and IF you've been fired, let's talk.

Lookit this bonus text message I got from a delivery human yesterday 😍: ...just wanted to say I love how vibrant your front yard is with all the California poppies! And of course the pride flag too 🏳️‍🌈

now that my doggo is recovering from his health scare (he's doing GREAT, thanks), i'm feeling the weight of three weeks of heart stopping anxiety. it really took a toll. i'm hugely relieved but now i gotta do my own recovery from that ride. whew.

late stage capitalism is crazy, man.

Just want to say to my pals in MSPLS that here in the Socialist Hellhole of Seattle, we see you. we wouldn't mind meeting you for a felafel or something, too.

WHO AMONGST US

Correlation does not equal causation but also, if het dudes are complaining about not getting laid it seems like there's an idea here worth exploring...

As part of Gen MapQuest printouts/Thomas Guides, I'm sad that my map reading skills have atrophied so badly. I was in Mexico once, looking for a restaurant, had to ask directions. Guy turned me around and pointed a block behind me, opposite side of the street. It *was* a bad tourist map, and yet...

been back in the (virtual) recording studio getting sessions on the calendar and new stuff in queue for CANNED: Conversations about Getting Fired. it's exactly what it sounds like and everyone has such smart things to say about work. tune in, share w/ friends, and hey, tell me your story?

You know what to do.

When shit like this happens, I need reporters to make them say WHY. why is this a priority right now? why is this worth the attention of the DoD lead? WHY? MAKE THEM SAY IT ON THE RECORD.

this is a fine read.

okay but what about the songs i sing to my dog?

i found ladybugs mating in the lupine out front and i would like to take this as a sign that my years-long project to get rid of my lawn is officially successful. there are hummingbirds and multiple types of bees and ladybugs gettin' it on. DONE AND DONE.

because of all the drama with my doggo, i put off seeing a doc. with mr. fuzzy butt back on his toes, i finally got it and i have... tennis elbow? hurts like a mofo, dunno how i got it. gardening? swimming? repeatedly shifting 13-12-11-10 pounds of diminishing dog?

my neighbor made a wry crack to me about Jewish commies and then apologized for maybe being out of line, but while we were chatting over the fence i was literally drinking coffee out of a karl marx coffee cup. so. uh.

a fun thing you can do when your dog has been deathly ill is drop by the vet to get his presciption chow and tell them that HE IS DOING GREAT THANK YOU VERY MUCH. they will light right up.

i'm talking with a career coach for CANNED today -- any questions you'd like me to ask? cannedpodcast.com

this is weird and i love it.

I have basically spent today looking at my dog because today is the first day in almost a month that he's been himself again. I'm so glad he's recovering. May was ROUGH, y'all.

Happy Pride Month. Protect trans kids. Protect trans adults. Banning trans folk makes as much sense as banning the sun. You can’t legislate away existence.
