NASA has announced a significant reduction in its workforce, with approximately 20% of its employees expected to depart the agency soon. Around 3,870 positions will be cut, though that number may shift in the coming days. Following the reduction, NASA’s workforce is projected to total about 14,000.

Went on a freaked out exploration of the garden beyond my patio when I thought Apollo escaped, only to come home and discover she had just been napping in a basket in the back corner of my closet. Sounds about right.

TBH, I can’t remember any other chains that give out bread besides Cheesecake Factory 😂

The correct answer was Grisanti’s, which sadly closed ages ago but had the garlicky bread of my dreams. But I guess Cheesecake Factory’s brown bread is pretty good.

Loving visiting Europe but my god am I excited to no longer smell cigarette smoke at every turn 😷

This morning I walked into my office and discovered one of my cats had thrown up on my keyboard. If that’s not an omen for the week I’m destined to have, I don’t know what is 🙃🫠

Ok also AOC and Elon Musk are not in a “tit-for-tat feud.” AOC is a duly elected member of Congress who operates under an oath to our constitution and Elon Musk is an unelected Nazi billionaire whose wealth makes him think he’s above the law and empowered to illegally torch our government.

As someone born and raised in the district where this was held…X is where those who need to hear this event’s message most communicate. If he promoted on Bluesky he’d be preaching to the choir. We need to get out of our silos and speak across the aisle!

Sitting in my patio enjoying a glass of wine, and my neighbors across the way are cooking something that’s sizzling so loud it’s making my mouth water. Do you think I can convince them to throw some across the hedges for me? 🤤

Gabapentin girls (today was fire alarm testing day and they’ve crashed after a fearful morning) 😹

Today I set up a monthly donation to @apnews.com and I encourage others to do the same. It’s a critical time to support independent, accurate journalism. Let’s come together to do all we can to keep free press alive and healthy to stand up against this administration’s attempts at censorship! 💪

Me: trying to be healthy in this new year
Also me: stress eating cake at my desk because…you know where I work 🙃

Cookie - they’re served as individual pre-cut pieces, unlike cake, which is served before cutting. Except the section title should be “Bars and Cookies” to differentiate bars from drop cookies, etc.!

She’s just doing inventory and inspection, that’s a cat hard at work! 💪

I’d been thinking of dipping my toe into the Bay Area dating pool in 2025 but now I’m thinking maybe I just write “looking for someone with EU citizenship” on my Bumble profile…

It’s so hard to fully disconnect when it’s so baked into life! I wouldn’t know when water outages are planned in my apartment without the neighborhood FB group.
I think I’m going to pull down all my photos, etc. and just use the site for that only.

My mom: “Hope you’re having a fun day off work!”
Me: has cried three times already today 🙃

Earlier today my mom called and told me it was cold…I made the mistake of saying “it’s been a cold day here, too!” The high was 53. I apologize to all Nebraskans.

Photo bomb!

Same! Here’s a cat tax of my two girls, Apollo and Artemis!

How many times will I open my TikTok app on accident before I finally give up and delete it?
