He'd still be frightened though, rest assured.

Kind of miss it. Love having my very own baby of a business, but really, the only person I could ask to fight in a parking lot is @justinseitz.bsky.social and he could just put his hand on my forehead and I'd be 3 feet away from reaching him.

My last real *corporate job, I was written up twice. Once for trying to fight a thief in the parking lot who was breaking into colleagues cars. Guess this is a "liability." And once for asking a guy in management if I could fight him in the parking lot cause he was pissing me off.

In all inboxes: The Trick to Cooperation. Systems may run on routine, but for those pulled into them, that routine can feel destabilizing and demeaning. Today, Kennedy reflects on what it means to navigate a case from the other side, from the witness stand.

I’m actually really glad to be of service cause I’ll never effectively give myself that reminder

Not to say the most obvious thing that's been said 100 times but God the irony of being prescribed a medication that's supposed to help you do things like remember to take your medication and then absolutely not remembering to take that medication because that's your number one symptom, awesome

In paid inboxes: A Fake Prince, a Game Show Contestant, and the Devil. Bullshit Hunting drifts through Maryland, DC, and California, unearthing impossible threads between Groucho Marx, exorcisms, and slapstick comedy. For the history heads and horror nerds.

I got this haunted chair on Facebook marketplace for $30 and I’ll never love anything more

First week in my very own space of all my own that no one else can touch unless I ask them to, and all I’ve done is work long hours, write a little, hang art and make food and pull shots of espresso

DONT answer that I don’t care and I don’t want to know I just need the freedom to wonder

“I love you, and you need to drink more water” is something I’m saying way too often for someone who doesn’t have kids

I invested in the 1970’s sex rug and you should too

Currently, every bit of my new home is covered in boxes, styrofoam and garbage. But here, a peek that is a sneak.

My pantry came with one smashed unusable glass door, but whatever, she’s trying. We can all relate.

I’ve been staying with my parents until my new place is painted and ready, and tonight is our last night. I’m gonna miss doing my favorite thing: making them dinner while they’re so completely stoned.

Might? I've always known that was the trajectory. The final form, if you will.

This is pinging in my brain like an old pipe. I can't quite reach it, but the sound is there. I feel like my great aunt Dolly used to say this when we were playing on the junkyard cars... another extremely Saskatchewan sentence, somehow.
