My cosmic sleeve is finished, so I spent all weekend posing in the bathroom.

when you know you’re absolutely killing it in your Warp Speed trucker hat and Cruel Intentions t-shirt. (My husband hasn’t seen me in almost a week - I need to remind him at first glance what he’s been missing!)

I had a Charlie leg scratch this morning too but didn’t want to break the Internet by showing even more skin.

Life Hack #132: Sleeping shirtless can be an easy way to tell when your dog needs his nails trimmed.

The four stages of Face ID refusing to recognize me. The existential dread is real.

Over my years working at a call center, my professional phone persona has developed into a mix of Uhura and Scream’s Casey Becker. It’s frazzled competence meets ever-heightening anxiety. But with a smile!

Who is Peter David? Comic book legend dies at 68 Peter David passed away following struggles with a series of health care issues, leaving behind an incredible legacy of work.

Peter David’s comics were the first I read to feature gay characters in a positive light - a huge deal to me as a closeted gay youth - and his work had a unique humor and heart to it. Rest in peace, Peter - thank you for giving happiness to so many over the years!

on a road trip with Charlie

I watch Savannah Bananas for the dancing and the uniforms. Which was very apparent when I tried using baseball terminology last night.

Me: I like that guy standing on that one base! That’s second base, right? The one behind… throw base?

Dwight: The pitcher’s mound?

Me: That name makes sense too.

This Mother’s Day my parents and Dwight’s mom met for the first time! Distance and circumstance prevented it up until now, but this year we finally came together to form an unstoppable force. And now ain’t nothing gonna break our stride! ❤️

The other day I was walking the halls on my break and thought everyone I passed was very obviously checking out my chest. I was like, “Ladies! I know the pecs are alluring, but my eyes are up here.” Then I realized they were really looking at my Administrative Professionals Day bling.

this is how we chill

I sometimes get in arguments with AI. What I appreciate though is that unlike humans, AI will let me micromanage how the arguments end…

sometimes I’m in a weird mood and I take it out on whoever happens to be sending me a random spam text that day

NFL teams table vote to ban ‘tush push’ at annual league meeting The play has been frequently used by the Philadelphia Eagles and quarterback Jalen Hurts in short-yardage situations.

Do civilians get a vote? Because I don’t even know what the NFL tush push is, but by name alone I’m in favor of it.

My nuanced take on the ongoing contract dispute between my insurance provider and MU Health Care.

@ddpolitte.bsky.social and I first met when we were both lost in the same cornfield. We helped each other escape He Who Who Walks Behind the Rows and then went for coffee. The rest is history!

Charlie’s upset because his favorite toy reindeer Raptured, leaving only its Christmas sweater behind.

Earlier when trying to type “I have a big nerd crush,” my thumbs were off target so it came out as “I jave a bog nerd crish.” Which I sort of love. It’s giving Jabberwocky (‘twas brillig and the slivey toves) meets Sims (sul sul).

So this weekend I hope everyone is jave a bog nerd crish!

This morning my husband @ddpolitte.bsky.social said, “You look… nice.” That pause! He was going to say “casual” but didn’t want to sound critical.

But this is my formal JLA shirt. The casual one has Hawkman. (casual b/c he’s shirtless and hairy-chested)

(Hawkman’s my favorite. For his aesthetics)

Thanks, Dan! It’s one I got a few years back. Return to Oz is one of my all-time favorites. And it causes the same mix of emotions in me. I’ve never fully recovered from all the heads screaming “DOROTHY GALE!”

Happy birthday, Dan! What an awesome slideshow - it put a smile on my face seeing you so happy. And you guys look great!

My Tik-Tok will always be the lovable mechanical man from Oz. And that Tik-Tok can never be banned. Except possibly by Ozma’s decree, but she would never. Also, of late he lives on my upper arm!

I reposted with my own list, in which I copied the first three bullets from your list. I went my own way once I got to flora and fauna, because everyone knows I hate outside things.

Inspired by my husband’s, here’s my happiness list!

•My husband
•Our dog Charlie
•Family and friends
•Comics books
•Scary books
•Scary movies
•Star Trek
•Buffy the Vampire Slayer
•That video where the little girl eats wasabi and says, “help”

My most recent picture of Charlie is him stubbornly lying down during a walk because he knew we were heading back home. It was his peaceful protest.

On Tuesdays we wear gay Star Trek.
