Don't know if it's just me, but I've had multiple messages on f@cebook where some rando is asking ME about something my MOTHER has said in a comment. How is this my problem? It's not even bad stuff. Just "Hey! Your mom posted this!" and I'm like, "Yes, and...?" and then I have to do detective work.

Here's how bad the burnout is:
I need to migrate a form from Qualtrics to Microsoft. I'm looking at a blank Microsoft Form and my brain is just buffering.
I ALREADY KNOW THE QUESTIONS. THEY'RE IN QUALTRICS. THEY'RE ON MY SECOND MONITOR. LOOK TO YOUR RIGHT, DUMMY.

Aw man, I ate breakfast at home but now I'm hungry again. Skill issue maybe? I didn't breakfast hard enough the first time?

yeah for a 1930s dude, he doesn't sound truly awful which is a switch up from... everything.

lotta ppl in countries with universal healthcare childcare and parental leave asking “why don’t americans do something!!??” What pray tell would you have regular people do in this situation beyond protesting and calling our reps which we already do - I am legitimately curious.

I love If Books Could Kill pod.♥️
Mike & Peter: "Dale Carnegie is so weird!!? He says to smile and compliment people and not confront them! He just listens to people talk on and on about themselves and he doesn't complain!"
Me: *CACKLING IN MIDWESTERNER*

We're all just weird little guys riffing online huh

Had to g00gle because I definitely thought "cutting the half-time orange" was some British euphemism for farting.

Good god. Rusted out country up on cinder blocks in the front yard.

once again, if tylenol caused autism, america would have a better rail system

Oh wait am I thinking of a Brit cooking show?? I just remember there was avocado drama a few years back but that may have been a cook and not bake show.
Fun fact- during orientation, we used to stream GBBO on the big projector in a classroom while all the new freshmen registered for classes.

This looks like something they'd make on Great British Bakeoff and then spend the rest of the time complaining about American cuisine. Meanwhile, none of us know what the hell it is and just want the contestants to comprehend guacamole.

why is it always the LEFT eye?? it's some kind of conspiracy istg

People tell me all the time to "stand up for myself" at work, so I stood up for myself today and...
- No apology from the offender
- Bystanders urging me to move on

No wonder women are choosing the bear when the alternative is a wolf in sheep clothing.

Our cat is in the front window GROWLING at the neighbors' church friends as they all park on the street and walk to their backyard.
Me: "That's right, buddy. Growl at the evangelicals."
Partner: "He's like the lion in the Roman Colosseum.'

I want to be able to pirate things by downloading them and having them to myself again. Illegal and immoral things happen every day but we somehow lost downloading media for free.

I miss media just being on a local hard drive. When I was in uni, I had a huge library of music and movies, and there were great programs to play and organize them. I didn’t have to worry about losing any of it (I had backups) and I could export the data easily into a csv. Streaming is dumb.

I spent 4 hours trying to sync my iPodtouch to my 2012 Macbook to update my songs like I have for the past 10+ years and I CAN'T. It doesn't recognize my libraries and is forcing me into Apple Music! Bought a cheap mp3 player but the interface is AWFUL. I can't drive and search for my music anymore.

I reference "Patriot Sans" all the time when we're driving around town and see these stupid trucks.

In my neck of the woods, coffee shops and bakeries. I swear, every new local coffee/bakeshop place that opens starts with some white woman on facebook saying, "The lord called me to open this business. God is watching over me to bake these scones."

The towel lays on a table with a striped cutting board, autumn leaves, a slotted spoon and a small pumpkin-shaped mug.

Picture of a brown tabby cat and a black and white tuxedo cat lying next to each other on a brown fawn speckled rug.

I signed on with Tabby & Tux a few years ago. Best move I ever made... aside from the constant screaming for food and attention.

A tiny yellow folding floor caution sign with an outline of a cat vomiting and the words "cat vomit caution" next to 2 piles of actual cat puke.

Partner: One of the cats puked.
Me: Well, put the sign out I guess.

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

Baskets and drawers full of fake flowers and ornaments for floral arrangements.

Mom: I need to go to Hobby Lobby and look for some floral--
Me: NO. We got floral at home.

Don't forget to buy your favorite IN National Guard member a bouquet of flowers for Administrative Assistants Day!💐

Young People Are Using Parties and Free Menstrual Cups to Fight Climate Anxiety A 2024 survey of 15- to 25-year olds found that 60% are "extremely worried" about the climate crisis; more than 40% say climate anxiety affects their mental health.

Arkansas ranks as the second most at-risk state after Florida due to extreme heat, tornadoes, and minimal investment in climate adaptation projects from its Republican-led legislature. Here's how young people in the state are addressing climate anxiety to take care of themselves –– and each other:
