Hey you want to know why you put your phone in airplane mode? Because if a FUCKING AMBER ALERT happens WHILE YOU ARE LANDING it sounds LIKE A GOD DAMN EMERGENCY IS HAPPENING and then people on the airplane are fucking STRESSED until the fucking plane lands.
That is why.
That is why.

On the one hand, do I care about who wins this game? Not really. On the other, fuck Duke, since the mid 80s at least.

I like how this morning we got juuuuust enough rain that the pollen formed into globs and looks like it’s waiting for revenge.

The year is 2025. My gps should have a “making a quick pitstop so please pause navigation” option.

Since Friday night I’ve been dealing with vertigo. I’m supposed to drive 6 hours today to attend a conference I very much want to attend. I’m feeling much better, but am I going to get half-way there and start to feel shitty again??? This is my conundrum.

Things seem pretty terrible so I’m sharing a picture of my typewriter planter I’ve turned into a tissue dispenser. Painted it at my shop. It gives me so much joy in these trying times (allergy season/all the other shit too).

I don’t want to shop with Uline but I need the products we have always gotten from Uline. Does anyone know a company with better ethics that sells these packaging products?

I’m headed to Albuquerque and Santa Fe for a few days. Where should I eat? What must I absolutely do? Give me all your recommendations.

Some people like true crime, but my comfort in a crisis (waves hands around to indicate “all this shit”) is to read about bad-ass women spies of World War Two. They could fuck some Nazi shit up. Currently reading The Sp Who Loved by Clare Mulley

Sunday is the one day I don’t set an alarm, but I do have a cat who likes to be fed. So I woke up twice this morning, and the second time wasn’t until almost 9. Glorious!

Doom scrolling is great right now because The Doom is always fresh. It used to be The Doom would get stale after a day or 2 but now the horrors are unending 😊

Who knew I’d find the perfect gang one day?!
Starting an all perimenopausal gang where we take a multivitamin and fight the patriarchy called Age Against The Machine.

Michelle would never allow it, but if they want to make it so his guy can run for a 3rd term, can our guy?

I have accidentally read some of the news of the day and I must say, I do not recommend. Zero stars.

There is a special kind of time when waiting in a hospital. “It will be 15 minutes or so” almost two hours ago. I followed up 40 minutes ago and “it looks like it will be soon.” I’ve gone from planning breakfast to brunch to lunch after we leave.

I’m an American reading a British murder mystery. I have to take a moment every time someone spots a “torch” in the window of an abandoned house.
