Caitlin, Cait if you like.

Tylenol doesn’t cause autism… but autism may have caused Tylenol. Probably acetaminophen too 🤣

In terms of people who would make the world a lot better if they got knocked down to $10 million, Larry Ellison is almost certainly top 10, and it's a crowded field.

I have 13k ish songs 😅

a man in a pirate outfit says " i love loot " ALT: a man in a pirate outfit says " i love loot "

I just posted elsewhere that I’m disappointed in all the older millennials whining over losing access to ____ show or movie on Disney. The way we were downloading in college? Do they not recall the old magic we all practiced?

Yup I got fired. Over a comment made under a post about the demise of a podcaster.

The deceased spearheaded the campaign that led to this. What twaddlespeak.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

Smut. It’s just a whisper of a plot and smut.

it really is astonishing how quickly it goes from “civil war” and “blood in the streets” to “wow guys it’s just a sad tragedy” when it becomes inconvenient

Isn’t a politician, so what is the claim? HATE SPEECH. I immediately was like, hate speech has intent to harm. I can’t harm anyone with that sentiment. Oh. But big brother doesn’t like it. Ok, well big brother didn’t flag it, you said it was a snitch.

Anyway. Annoying.

Someone sent a screenshot to my new job’s HR if me making a comment on a private post that was briefly made public of me saying the world is a better place without CK in it. I got dragged in front of HR and the company president about it and I was like… it’s not a Hatch Act violation as the person…

The evil that men do lives after them

Been thinking about Speaker For The Dead a lot the last few days. And also Odysseus. Interesting head space.

I took a mental health day today. I’ve made it policy on days after school shootings.

But first… coffee. Then horrors.

Agreed (from the US). Also boycott the Olympics. Stay away for your safety.

First day of work at the new job tomorrow 😬😬😬 we’ll see how much fun it is transitioning back to a full-time office setting after almost 5 1/2 years full time WFH/ unemployed/ freelance. I got so anxious I’ve kind of just shut down and am floating around the house like a Victorian waif spirit.

MY KITCHEN SINK WAS LEAKING AND I FIXED IT ALL BY MYSELF!!!

Thank you, me, for previously investing in the tool kit sets everyone else said was excessive, because those socket wrenches were needed! And a 3/32 hex wrench, wtf is that siiiize?

THIS IS NOT A GAME.

Been keeping you and your family in my thoughts today.

Apparently a good way to shake up a friend’s depression is to talk to her like you’re picking up a hooker and negotiate rates.

I was the John in this scenario. Her whole demeanor changed in a heartbeat 🤣

And my rat bastard ear infection came back so I’m just a ball of misery and eepies anyway, because the travel is to go see my favorite Kpop group. Is just not fair.

Nothing reminds you of the value of open lines of communication and consent like traveling alongside people with their own (nonsexual) power dynamics. They very clearly don’t see it, and when the intermediary is the subby one… let’s just say I’m never doing this again with these two people. Ever.

Really muscling down some fear and anxiety over working over my resume again. Ever feared a document? I’m there.

My favorite posts are the ones where they show they voted.

Spare us the fake outrage.

A chonky boy grey tabby cat is stretched out at the foot of the bed on a blue quilt. Next to him are folded blue and white herringbone pillowcases not yet on their pillow partners.

Sheets changed and the approval process sailed through the Clean Sheet Testing Committee! Pleasure doing business with my tabby overlords again.

A messy bed with a balled up white quilt has two tabbies stretched out and snoozing across the bed.

I *was* going to change the sheets. Guess not 🤷‍♀️
