My godson's (best friend's dog's) birthday party is "fishing-ish themed" what do I get him

She Chicken on my Parm til I Sandwich

Making chicken parm but didn't realize I'm out of pasta, the anguishing continues

New gym shorts season

I would like to formally apologize to the Hevy community 😔

Hevy should have an option to share what you listened to during your workout

Help an MBA just reached out to me to help consult on his project, how do I explain that I don't actually KNOW anything

Reading a paper where they're like "standard work-up was conducted (see below)." and then the next sentence is the work-up and I just KNOW they had it in a separate section before a million rounds of edits

Forgot I turned my alarm off and overslept, this is a week of anguish I see

I was definitely up past my usual bedtime

Shoutout to the one guy that was like "is your inability to find true love as a gay guy in Chicago a personal issue or representative of the university"

Introduced people to Chicago :) (did malört shots twice)

New Hades 2 update 👀 I know what I'm gonna be doing this weekend

It has become my turn to be the jaded older student for grad student visit weekends :)

Starting my apartment hunt because I am tired of having roommates, but man single apartments are not friendly for a grad student budget

My roommates only had a Swiffer and no mop when I moved in and I finally caved and got a real one, I'm liberated

bloomf FORCED me to try Hevy and I must begrudgingly admit that I like it more than my notes app I had been using

Valentine's without you would be unBEARable 🩷🐻‍❄️🩷

Valentine's Day really remains in my top 3 holidays despite being single almost every year

One time a family member was complaining about our two-party system, and I said there is a solution for that, like Ranked Choice Voting! After giving a blank stare he said "That's too hard. People would never be able to figure it out." Ending the convo. This is why we can't have nice things 😮‍💨

Relistening to E•MO•TION and just realized it's ten years old now, baffling?

Chest Day Bhest Day

My next book has a map in the first few pages, I'm so fucking back

Gym time interrupted because my 2yo niece wanted to FaceTime to talk about the painting she made today

Hello I made Chocolate Mousse Cake

This year's Valentine's Day photoshoot has begun, my fun little annual tradition is still going strong

More fruit juices should have pulp options tbh

Gave a presentation on recycling (and the work I do in my PhD) at my local senior center and it was kinda surreal chatting about it with people who remember when the first plastics were being made
