USDA Crit Beef Inspector

Being unfamiliar with pre-Middle English characters prevented me from understand 1100 or 1000 but taking one year of German and having a solid Early English Literature course in college got me pretty far. If you also like to nerd out about language, you won't find a finer way to spend your Sunday.

I do like cold riding in fluffy flakes but I’m way less about always being outside whenever possible than I was in my 20s

Riding my bike outside: why is it so good for me and why is it so hard to remember that when it’s below 50 degrees

A photo of an ice cream machine with a sign reading, "Anything is possible with ice cream." Beneath that is a hand lettered sign reading, "No ice cream".

2026 basically

Yeah this is the read I don’t think was accessible to me in my early 20s, but I also still think life time of being a woman on top of the last 5 year of them working in tech is going to make Jane Eyre still resonate more with me

I should probably reread both Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre to see if I feel any differently about them in my 30s but 20 year old me could not conceive of a world where anyone would like Wuthering Heights more than Jane Eyre

10/10 Galentines Day

face is way too large, band is fairly flexible for me, more of an issue of arm length than wrist circumference, my arms are real beefy for my height (thanks gym gainzzz)

i use a garmin watch for lifting and also other non-cycling outside sports. the 40mm version actually fits my wrist well but most similar fitness watches start at 45-50mm

endlessly annoyed that the features i want in watch upgrade are not available in the size that fits me best

super hate how like all of the US outdoors and fitness industries just low key don't believe there are adults smaller than like 5'4"

if you wouldn't put "A Huge Tree in the Tsukamori Forest" on your pump up playlist i don't know if we can be friends

Ughhhhhhh solidarity

It has been 0️⃣ days since I last wondered how Pablo Escobar’s cocaine hippos are doing

i did the prep work for a week's worth of food containing vegetables please clap

i do legitimately miss these, not because they were good, but because of attachment to childhood experience

supper club as a little treat on tour can not be recommended enough

But also lmao every time it calls one of the highway overpasses a “steep hill”

Spending 2 hours in a room of people all committed to being the best version of themselves possible is a hell of a drug

My job is hiring 2 positions in the C Suite and honestly the fact that base pay is less than 2x mine (senior title) is really nice. Even less than 3x my entry level role starting salary 4 years ago.

Leadership trying to not be evil is what has kept me here

#bikechi Y'all we all have like a million of these kinds of bottles hanging out. If you've got some you can donate, there's a need in Minneapolis and we're shipping.

Defund the police and invest in communities. Why are we trying to save anything this chronically broken and unwilling to accept any degree of reform?
