THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN TELLING YOU ALL DAMN IT

Also I feel sorry for the NSA analyst who has to figure out what the hell is going on with my "burritos"

It’s a stunning game. But fuck these vultures forever.

I’m technically done around 2:30-3. Im just not always done-done until later. I’m sure we can figure something out! I’ll check with Bree in the morning.

I’m usually working during regular 9-5 but after work could work or on a weekend. Potentially around lunchtime but that’s always a little dicey with my schedule. I’ll look at my calendar. Would love to meet your mister too!

Security researchers aren't buying Musk's spin on the cyberattack that took down X A new report raises questions about Elon Musk's explanation for a "massive cyberattack" that brought down X Monday.

Media). We’ve been besties since 9th grade and bought our house together last January.

I love coffee. I’ve been to Stomoing Grounds.Very chill vibe and good coffee! Would love to grab a cuppa sometime.

We’re at NE Glisan and 192nd. I’m really happy to build my community here more! I’ve been here about a year (I escaped from DC - so glad I’m not there anymore!) and gardening friends sound amazing!

I’m at the Portland/gresham line too. We’re trying a veggie garden this spring but my expectations are pretty low - I have a notoriously brown thumb.

Understandable mistake, tbf
