CAITLIN WHY DO WE DO THIS TO OURSELVES

I made enough of everything for lunch tomorrow so now I feel smug in spite of my complaining!

It is—
and therefore I will NEVER LEARN

My goddamn salad lunch that took for fucking ever and honestly isn’t even a salad nicoise: potatoes, tuna, a jammy egg and roasted asparagus on a bed of lettuce and cherry tomatoes.

There’s always a day when the weather starts getting warm when I think “I don’t want to make rice for lunch today, it’ll take too long—oh hey, what about salad nicoise!” And then two hours later I have used every dish in the kitchen and still haven’t eaten.
Today is that day.

Three small pancakes and a pancake fleck in a stainless steak pan making a screaming face.

Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins: Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright (Not sure if I spelled that right) What immortal hand or eye Could fashion such a stripy guy? What the hammer that hath hewn it Into such a chonky unit? Did who made the lamb make thee, Or an external franchisee?

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

the sugar crash from this decision will certainly not make me less able to confront the horrors later today

I am SO PROUD
(this may have been accomplished because I accidentally left the ipad within reach and they knew that we wouldn't hear if they sneakily played some minecraft, but honestly today I DON'T CARE)

Screenshot of a message reading, 'Good evening, This message is to kindly ask for your support in helping our colleague Karina, whom many of you know. On September 19, her husband was detained and arrested by immigration authorities. It is important to note that he has no criminal record. He is the father of four children and had been living under political asylum. Sadly, at this time, that has not been taken into consideration. He came to this country solely to provide his wife and children with a better quality of life. He is currently being held in Texas, awaiting a court hearing. At this moment, Karina has no support system, and I am reaching out to humbly ask for your help—whatever you feel moved to give. Any contribution makes a meaningful difference. Right now, she is unable to work because she must care for her four children, remain in close contact with her attorney, and also cope with the fear of being detained herself. Her children rely entirely on her. Thank you all for your kindness and support, and may God bless you. Zelle 6307095458"

A coworker just found out that her neighbor's husband, an asylum seeker & family breadwinner with 4 children, was arrested by ICE 2wks ago. I sent some money to help support the family, bc Karina can't work while she's taking care of the kids & fighting to get her husband back. Zelle: 6307095458
