Marking myself as “safe” from the rapture in case anyone was concerned

Less great to learn that I am nearly as bad as my mom, who lifted her walker 18 inches off the floor and walked down the hall that way the morning after her hip replacement surgery because the walker “takes too long”

It’s still pretty great to have the cast off though!

Me: I got my cast off! I’m getting around the house and up and down the stairs on my own! 🎉🎊✨

My PT today: you’re doing about 5 things wrong and it’s causing unnecessary swelling. Also you’re using your bad leg to haul yourself up the stairs for some reason when you could be using your good one

I see that I’m about to have to explain to my parents what a groyper is

Weetabix is delicious, been eating it since I was 2

Same, but I’m scared! Plus I think it might be better as an icebox cake if we’re going to be fixing something that isn’t broken

If I ever buy a cosmetic product with the word “plumping” in its description, that is my signal that I’ve been abducted

First post I saw on the internet today was someone earnestly and vigorously insisting that meowing back at cats when they meow at you is abusive

ok it IS yummy, but don’t do what I did earlier, which is to accidentally inhale some and then sneeze. My sinuses do not like saag as much as my mouth does.

Oh. I’d almost forgotten about Glenn Greenwald, and would like to return to that state as soon as possible

Thinking today of the SpaceX employee who posted that they were considering gutting their 401k to invest in more SpaceX

Happy morel mushroom season to all who celebrate

did anyone make the joke yet about how the orange guy also is said to have small hands or

Sincere apologies to the garden spider whose web I just accidentally wrecked with my face. That said, I can’t help but feel that placing the web *across my front door* was an unnecessarily bold move.

creeping bellflower (invasive): 0

me and my hedge clippers and the rage in my heart: 1

there'll be more fighting for sure, but it was pretty satisfying to go all Mommie Dearest on it to make sure most of it doesn't bloom and go to seed, at least

Almost everything is a disaster but I’m gardening today and this is happening so I’ll take what I can get

you know, older walgreens have pneumatic tube systems in their drive thrus, just wait for one to close, buy the building for a handful of stale candy corn and bam
