It's going to be a beautiful 81 degree day here in Detroit and also the air is poison to me, the asthma-haver.

I'M SO EXCITED LET'S GOOOO

Nobody will ever believe me that Obama followed me on twitter. But it's true.

This, pretty much.

Something about it feels like giving up. Like they won. But I can't be there watching AI nazis interact. I have almost 20 years of my life documented on that app. It feels like a huge loss.

I made such good friends on that app. I met my HUSBAND on that app. The fact that it can be so corrupted makes me very determined, as a student of computer science, to try to make something good. Fuck, let's bring back foursquare. I am sobbing, I am sad about a stupid app.

I finally deleted the twitter account I have had since 2007. I don't know why it's so sad, but I am SO SAD about it.

If you like to make sangria, you should add this stuff to it. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Airplane pulling a sign saying “Rep James cut your healthcare to give $ to billionaires”

Seen in my backyard just now. Zoom in for a surprise.

I am sorry, what the hell is this from the official ssa.gov email address??

Garden progress pic to cheer us up. I love Michigan so much.

Sitting in the backyard on a beautiful summer night, grilling, watching fireflies, coming up with a concept of a plan to get out of here. Just heartbroken.

Do love hitting refresh over and over again to learn what my rights are

Hyperventilating over here.

Mulberry tree with many berries

Completely blown away by the amount of mulberries this volunteer tree is producing.

I got to freshen up my Robert’s Rules today (next to the coolest person in Detroit).

Proof the squirrels are agents of chaos

Shout out to Kutchey Family Market in Warren. All their plants are grown locally and the elderly cashier went out of her way to gender my kid correctly. A+ definitely my new favorite place to spend too much money.

It’s the best day of the year. The day I accept that most of my starts are trash, the squirrels are just going to dig up my seeds, and wonder why I didn’t go to my local greenhouse in the first place.

A big hot bowl of cream of wheat on a rainy Sunday morning is guaranteed to make you feel 10% better.

Am I losing my mind? What in the world is a “cherry slice” garnish for a margarita?

There was another about their eye color being blue... because they blew up. I was only in 1st grade and don't remember the full set up.

All I can hear is “the McElroy brothers are not experts…”

It’s a British guy vs a Northern Irish guy and I’m imagining their ancestors blowing on the ball

My husband is watching golf and I can tell you, things are TENSE

Forget computer science, I’m going to get a stall at Eastern Market and make dozens of dollars selling my organic hydroponic produce.

I just asked Bill if I can move my beans and onions and potatoes out from behind the garage because I hate hauling the GOT damn hose all the way around every time.

Whoa! That is a good moon.

It will never stop being funny to me that I’m so good at IT Support. Tell me a problem you’re having with your computer, I will figure it out guaranteed. I’m a little annoyed that I didn’t know I was good at computer for so long.

I just realized I’ve been working close to full-time for 30 years. My first job was peeling shrimp at a fish n chips stand at 14. I’m happy to have an email job now but damn, I’m really supposed to put in 20 more before I’m through? For what reasonnnn
