Copyediting, proofreading, cats, running, insomnia. Not necessarily in that order.

Annoying: "seabed" but "lake bed." #AmEditing

Aw, too bad. (But I wouldn't come to the US now either if I, you know, didn't already live here.)

Are you going to be at ACES?

Noooo. The worst. I'm so sorry.

I used to loooove Target. I think I've been in one twice since Jan 2025, and at least once was because there was no other choice. Fuck Target.

I don't really want to be awake at 3 a.m., but I'm also not really tired. Which is annoying, because I should be tired and I should be asleep. #insomnia

You could/should put the entire text in the alt text.

There is no reason I should still be awake at 5 a.m. when I went to bed at 1. And yet. Maybe I'm just too excited for the impending blizzard.

I've ridden my bike to Costco! Of course I knew I only needed a few small things. Was pleasantly surprised to find bike racks there.

Ha ha, fair. The few British people I know who've tried grits haven't liked them. And ranch - I might be on the verge of going off it, so I understand.

This very day, I thought to myself, "Goddamn I need a new couch!" This is inspiring.
