I could never date an anesthesiologist. They expect you to starve yourself for them.

We have stopped shopping for anything more than bare essentials in order to deplete the pantry and freezer, and this morning I suffered the first casualty of assuming we have something we *always* have: lemons. I've never made a dutch baby and not had a lemon. This is tragic.

I took the day off from cooking breakfast so that I could volunteer to cook breakfast.

Feels like the country is ready to host the world cup

I woke up to the smell of burnt stale coffee this morning, which is weird because we stopped brewing coffee at home over a year ago. As I was wondering whether I was hallucinating work smells for some reason, the smell changed to burnt rubber and plastic, and then I knew it was skunk, danger close.

This is what I was waiting for. gizmodo.com/the-funniest...

I was really enjoying all the memes about the two rich man-babies slap-fighting. But then they just stopped. I wasn't ready for them to stop just yet.

Mosquito season is in full swing. I got three in one swat as I was fleeing my front porch last night. Now there's one stalking me INSIDE THE HOUSE!!

I'm having lunch at a divey sushi bar in Reno. Africa by Toto played and then no other song came on and now we're all sitting in awkward silence.

Nazi punks fuck off! Crowd at 'Punk Rock Bowling' concert kicks out guy wearing Nazi shirt 🖕

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody." But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies. Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

Show me a selfie you like and add a reason why if you want to. I mean... we look fantastic.

My good friends never show up unannounced, even though they're always welcome. But this random MFer gone pull in my driveway at eight o' clock at night tryina sell me solar?? Oh HELL no.

If you want a great podcast to listen to that has been called "the antidote to toxic masculinity" I highly recommend @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social. It's the only podcast I sponsor monetarily and I get more than my money's worth.

The problem with the "liberal Joe Rogan" discourse is that it presumes that some money and hype can make up for 15+ years of building a (massive) listener base. I personally have never been a fan, but you can't deny that he's done the work. You can't just wish that into existence.

Jokes on you: the reason I avoid eye contact isn't because I have difficulty understanding facial expressions or social cues, it's because I'm ignoring them.

Look at us thriving in our forties. Chronically online and coming to terms with our undiagnosed neurodivergence

Y'all, check out my cousin's ride, & maybe buy it. bringatrailer.com/listing/1968...

Hasan Piker was detained by ICE and chose to talk to cops instead of shutting the fuck up. Do not be like Hasan Piker. Be way smarter. Never. Talk. To. Cops.

What's your preferred mode of transportation?

The wind came up and the power went out yesterday at 2 pm & only just came back on at 9 this morning. I don't believe in supernatural phenomena or spirits but if I did I'd have a hard time discounting my late mother's involvement.
