What these megalomaniacal assheads don’t get is that everyone has the ABILITY to do evil things. Karma is a bitch. Every waitress or bartender who serves you food. Every business owner whose goods you rely on. Any nurse. And someday your kids or grandkids will discover the depths of your depravity.

Bird-watching in Florida is almost a contact sport.

Extra hot sauce! And then just leave me. I’ll be good.

Someone please dub some Benny Hill theme music to this?

Chicago ICE attempted to apprehend a random delivery guy, but the delivery guy’s impressive escaping skills proved to be too much for the goons

Unless they convince you otherwise, assume the best of people. Start there. There’s always time for revenge later.

Beautiful night at Amherst Rotary Town Fair. A much- needed distraction from the tragic disintegration of democracy and sanity in America.

Serious love and respect for Hendrix. AND. Concrete Blonde does a rocking cover of “ Little Wing.”

There is no return after Ancillary Justice or Three Parts Dead or Binti. Or OMG. Gideon the Ninth. You’ve ruined me.

Tried reading a kinda “vanilla” bestselling fantasy series. No, I’m not naming the author. But my literary palate has gotten downright weird after reading novels by N. K. Jemisin, Arkady Martine, Max Gladstone, Nnedi Okorafor, Martha Wells, Ann Leckie, and John Scalzi.

I’m reading threads from grads with journalism degrees, despairing over the lack of ethics in modern journalism. But the arc of ethics in journalism is more like a zigzag. We are now in a zig, and although I logically know there will be a zag, we are also fucked? That’s it. That’s my Ted talk.

Americans are celebrating July 4? Umm no. MAGA is celebrating I guess. The rest of us are just doing our best to distract our families from the national shitshow and sinking further into depression.

Maybe because you are adorable?

This is too close, Oscar.

I’ve followed you since the early days of WHATEVER, and I’m an Arisia regular, and I have friends who do the JoCo cruise (which I so want to join someday!), so I’m morally obligated to follow you! Also you’re nifty and I love your writing style!

Deleted Instagram from the phone because it kept feeding me doomsday, apocalyptic stories.

I mean, that might be reality but my algorithm was set to “dogs, dogs misbehaving, dogs in costumes, and capybaras.”

S’long, Meta.

Oldest kid, 5 minutes after I returned from delivering middle kid to college: “Mom, let’s get takeout cuz there’s one less person.”
Me: “Too soon! He just left!! This isn’t a celebration! How could you?!!!!!”
Kid: “it’s not celebrating. It’s just . . . CHEAPER!”

Moved the middle kid into his college dorm today. My heart is heavy!

Roll Call! Say hi when you find me here! ❤️
