I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book

said to myself this was finally the day I was getting my life organized starting with my bedroom & then I spent 30 minutes hanging tinsel on my pothos plant

"would you please put that in writing" is how you pull off insubordination without actually being insubordinate. Very useful when you are getting sketchy (whatever 'sketchy' might mean) instructions from someone who might not want to take responsibility for it later. signed, a former union steward.

some of the stuff happening right now is objectively evil and much of the rest of it is bad bad

sorry it took me so long to reply to you, i evaporated and had to get through the entire water cycle again

just discovered that The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo are two different books

If you have students who are trans no you don’t. If you have students of color who may be affected by ICE no you don’t. If anyone asks you gender or racial the makeup of your class you don’t have to tell them. Protect your class and protect your students by not complying in advance. They trust you.

if I click on an animal video and it starts playing Ed Sheeran Perfect then I know immediately that video is not for me

took a Great Dane claw to the face (she was just playing and I had my face in the wrong place) so I’m now walking around looking like a rogue

my reaction to most things so far this year has been: ????

i do enjoy a historical romance but it really makes me laugh when it’s like: she’s not like other girls. She just accidentally shot my manservant while hunting and also her EYES

i guess the avocado, cheese, bbq chip, olive, mustard sandwich was not the most nutritious thing I could eat for lunch, but I did enjoy it

just found out the Myst games had a story arc ??? Like I spent a lot of time playing those games back in the day but I was just wandering around poking at levers and listening to the asmr

i think I need to do some core exercises. I had a weighted blanket and a cat on me this morning and when I tried to get up you should have seen me ineffectually flopping around like salmon on land until I finally decided I was just a prisoner until the cat moved

Jin wearing a Hilton Head Island tshirt in the latest episode of Run Jin had me like ??? It’s so wild seeing a celebrity in Korea wearing a shirt from a beach that is a couple hours away from me

ooof you guys I really enjoy playing with kids, and hearing the thoughts in their heads, and watching them grow and change but I’m so glad I’m child-free. Being an aunt-only was definitely the right choice

strong flavors help me (mostly) stave off airsickness and they also really set the mood for my travel that day. Going it was hot tamale candy and cheddar cheez-its. Coming back it’s dried pineapple/oranges/kiwi fruits and soft Australian licorice

only my right ankle had to be patted down at the airport

real raggamuffin energy from everyone on this flight

nephew says he wants to dream about lipgloss, earrings, and powerful construction machines tonight 💖

watching a month old baby watch falling snow is a bit magical

picking up dog poop in a city quiet from fresh falling snow feels kind of romantic

according to my Instagram memories now is about when I take a moody new years selfie but this year I’ve caught the toddler’s illness and my nose is a constant stream of drippy goop, which I guess in and of itself is a mood

my toxic trait is that i am convinced that I can write the lyrics to songs in certain kid shows

the sentences that come out of my mouth when I talk to toddlers😂😭 I just very seriously said “gravity is a universal truth we all must contend with”

not me giving myself a pep talk about how I’m an adult and this is a childlock

watching my sister and my nephew debate about whether this toy kitchen produce is a radish or an apple and I’m over here like it’s clearly a tomato

went old school and took a taxi my taxi driver said prayers under his breath anytime we approached a red light and…we were never stopped by a red light

i think my plane and an airport truck just had a race ??? We didn’t win.

just watched a man be crushed that his axe bodyspray was too big to go through airport security. He was in fact so viscerally wilted about it that the tsa agent suggested he go back out of security and spray some on himself before coming back through. Hope his day gets better.

the airport announcing that the local time is 12:30 when my phone very clearly says it’s 12:37 is hopefully as close as I get to the twilight zone today

there is an amazing amount of corned beef on rye eaten in noirs

it would be a lot easier to figure out if these clothes are dry if we had dedicated moisture receptors in our skin

i ate a lighter breakfast this morning instead of my normal oatmeal and hours later I’m full of regret

my parents’ cat is such a good communicator—like I know exactly what she’s thinking 24/7 😂

wouldn’t want to do it too often but Christmas by myself was gorgeous. I played Lana Del Rey and called it Christmas music. I ate like a chipmunk. I read. I payed my car tax, which I’ve been meaning to get to all month long so this is a weight off my shoulders. Definitely in my Krampus era
