Was going to try to get a pass to join friends at Outside Lands on Friday (I want to see Doechii bad), but since I'm getting my aligners Thursday, I'll have to skip bc I know I'll be in pain

Fortunately for me Doechii just announced a tour with an SF stop in November ๐Ÿฅณ

I saw a brand referring to short overalls as shortalls but my brain says that should be "shorteralls"

But also, shout-out to audiobooks (and public libraries)

In the next day or so, I will be finishing my 105th audiobook

I've read (to completion) 225 books since 2021, when I really picked up reading again (60 this year so far!)

That's so cool

My kindle is one of the best purchases I've ever made, and I'd do it 20x over

I do not feel that I hold many illusions about my country, or the west at large, but I've gained my disillusionment through the lens of a white, middle class woman born and raised in California. I still have much to learn and so far to go.

An exercept from the beginning of One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This. The highlighted portion reads:

Language, too, forces the air from the lungs.
Beyond the high walls and barbed wire and checkpoints that pen this place, there is the empire. And the empire as well is cocooned inside its own fortress of languageโ€”a language through the prism of which buildings are never destroyed but rather spontaneously combust, in which blasts come and go like Chinooks over the mountain, and people are killed as though to be killed is the only natural and rightful ordering of their existence. As though living was the aberration. And this language might protect the empire's most bloodthirsty fringe, but the fringe has no use for linguistic malpractice. It is instead the middle, the liberal, well-meaning, easily upset middle, that desperately needs the protection this kind of language provides. Because it is the middle of the empire that must look upon this and say: Yes, this is tragic, but necessary, because the alternative is barbarism. The alternative to the countless killed and maimed and orphaned and left without home without school without hospital and the screaming from under the rubble and the corpses disposed of by vultures and dogs and the days-old babies left to scream and starve, is barbarism.

I'm about 10% of the way into One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad

I already feel as though this book is required reading for all, but especially for those of us in the west

Starting aligners on Thursday ๐Ÿซ 

What do I need to eat before the fun of eating / the joy of food is sucked out of my life for the next 9 months?

I'm going to miss midnight snacks

The Quetzalcรณatl Sculpture unfortunately looks like a pile of poop from most angles, which is why it is called the poop statue by many San Jose area locals

the โ€œno oneโ€™s thinking about the menโ€ stuff is so heterosexual which leads me to believe masculinity is not what is in jeopardy but menโ€™s relationship of lack thereof to women as autonomous beings

Itโ€™s so unimportant, but I feel compelled to correct copy when people only capitalize the first letter of brand names that are all caps, e.g. NVIDIA

Itโ€™s the former product marketing manager in me

Think Iโ€™ve determined part of the hand-wrist-arm pain Iโ€™m experiencing is due to having my big cat curl up in my arm for an hour when Iโ€™m laying down

Which means that unfortunately I will never get better bc I canโ€™t deny him (or me) those precious moments

Ghislane Maxwell (sex offender and trafficker of children) was transferred to a club fed, minimum security facility housing Jen Shah (RHOSLC, scammed old people) and Elizabeth Holmes (scammed investors)

He did this, and itโ€™ll mean nothing to his loyalist cult members

Pain, tingling, and numbness in your hand, wrist, forearm, elbow?

Put on a brace and compression sleeve and benefit from even more tingling and numbness!

Ballpark lumpia felt like a great idea but the bloating I'm experiencing says that was a lie

Maybe it was pairing it with tall cans and sour patch watermelon gummies
