Though it's hard to tell from my expression (and because I didn't know a picture was being taken), this is me in my happy place

"I'm so glad I found my person, because the dating apps look like a nightmare". Ok, but...consider taking this sentiment a step further. If you feel lucky to have found someone, think about your single friends, and who might match up with who. Help others find what you found, sans apps.

I just looked up the official description of the "FIFA Peace Prize" (on the FIFA site, direct from the source), and the inaugural recipient is the very opposite - in every possible way - of what the prize purports to exemplify and uplift. So many people and orgs are now rushing to bend the knee.

Those you who grew up with the internet will never know the seething frustration of being a kid who is told something by an adult that you know is objectively incorrect, and having no way to quickly fact check them. And it's assumed they're right because they're adults.

I watch some live TV via an indoor antenna (feel free to ask me about cutting the cord - highly recommend) and when I get to click away from any religious type programming, I am hoping that the network and/or show see the stats of all of the people who click off as soon as their content comes on 😁

Local crank who spends his time repeatedly telling "transplanters" (people who weren't born in his town) that they need to leave has Big Thoughts about the salary of the mayor of the nearby major city, a city he almost surely hasn't visited in decades because of how "scary" it is

I know it's just one thing in a firehose of f*ckery, but changing Department of Defense to Department of War is the work of incompetent people with the sensibility of impulsive 8 year old boys, who think that "defense" reads as "too soft". Make it stop.

One expects a certain amount of dumbassery on the socials, but "I went to Boston and everything looked like it's stuck in centuries ago" definitely moves to the top of the list

Had a dream that I was being forced to go to a lecture about "seed oils" and "wellness" and then I thankfully awoke from that nightmare 😄

3 years ago I created this design and sticker, not because I truly thought (or think) that everything is horrible (at least not all the time), but because I wanted to use and modify the background photo (which I thought was cool) and the little monster (which I thought was cute).

My old people complaint is that it's exponentially more difficult to do anything on a phone (than on a laptop). And many apps have less functionality than their desktop counterparts 🤷🏼

FYI I've had several MRIs for all sorts of different things, and never once was I unaware of why I was getting the MRI or which body part was being scanned 🤷🏼

For the care and feeding of the introverts in your life: give them a chance to talk. Don't talk over them or get progressively louder because you can. Listen.

Shout out to the men who know that they’re not the men we’re talking about when we talk about men
Anyone in their feelings (and/or in my comments) being defensive or “not all men” about it should know- they’re included in the men we’re talking about
Stay mad about it, fuckers
