I'm sorry, I can't work today. I have books to read.

Just want to say that at my job where they have oodles of procedures but won't write any of them down, we are working on roughly 15 episodes of TV at once, and it is a lot.

Becca @tigerpantss.bsky.social · 23h

Oh, that sounds smart! I hadn't thought of that.

Becca @tigerpantss.bsky.social · 23h

Ah, thanks! I will jot that down.

Here is possibly a dumb question. Where do I get some sand to put over the oil spot from my car? I don't want anyone to slip on it, so I'd like to put some sand down, but where can I get that? Is that a thing I can get at Lowe's?

Why is buying a car one of the consistently worst experiences on Earth? I said I wouldn't be buying for at least another month or so. What makes you think badgering me several times a day will cut that time shorter? Number blocked. Bad vibes.

Having a very existential-crisis-y evening wherein I wonder what I am even doing here if all I do all day is copy spreadsheet info from one to another. Yuck.

Looks like he sent this to you while in class with that kid, because this is the response of a 7th grader. It's all a big joke to them.

Becca @tigerpantss.bsky.social · 2d

For you to learn. He didn't think the Earth was round, and now we have the internet so you can google the things you were taught as a kid. (Wikis are notoriously fishy sometimes, but you can check the links at the bottom as well.) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyages...

Just saw a cousin of mine do exactly this on FB. Yikes.

You do not, in fact, have to hand it to Donald Trump.

ABC is reporting some of the living hostages are being released in Israel.

Is there a documentary yet on the Asian women who line Hollywood Blvd and scream into a phone as they livestream selling shoes? Because I would watch it.

Becca @tigerpantss.bsky.social · 2d

Was offered a nice bonus credit if I exchanged the shoes I wanted to return instead of just returning them, but then they were out of my size in every shoe I wanted, so I guess that's on y'all.

Both of my ceramic jackolanterns (life is too short to futz with apostrophes) are lit! I finally found a candle that would fit in the one with the oval hole, but it was from Target, dammit. Anyway, they’re adorable! I don’t do scary stuff.

It is a wonderfully silly show with some really strong acting performances. Like the X-Men movies! A very entertaining combination.

I have still never been paid to protest, and I'm Jewish. I mean, come ON.

9-1-1 Nashville.

Becca @tigerpantss.bsky.social · 5d

Was that 2 fat jokes in the first 15 min of that new show?? Yikes.

“Tee hee! I guess you have to stay in my room now! Oops! Only one bed! Guess you have to let me fuck you now!” Like, my dude. Porn is not real life. You are 30. How deeply embarrassing.

Becca @tigerpantss.bsky.social · 5d

This is baffling. He’s a lawyer! And 30! How hard is it to meet someone to hook up with at 30? So it’s a power thing, I guess? But also the whole “employee whistleblower” angle. This is literal harassment. Like, you have to WANT to be this way to be pulling this shit at his big age.

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 5d

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

But if we’re talking FL, Econlockhatchee works because no one will even bother trying to pronounce it. They just stop talking.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

I feel like both Los Feliz and Cahuenga (yes, I know it’s a blvd) fit the bill.

I got one of those RS Griffin Foundation LCD tablets in the mail, and Reddit said they’re good for kids so let me know if you want it for your kid. I honestly could have used a toaster.

Once again, I have 2 Libby holds come available in 2 days. How do they know?? Are they sentient? Are they organizing?? Are they Cylons??

Becca @tigerpantss.bsky.social · 7d

Sounds promising! How was the cleanup weird?
