It’s giving plague of locusts heralding the beginning of an apocalypse

Sen. Bernie Sanders on Zohran Mamdani: "Will the Democratic leadership learn from his campaign? I doubt it. I think they would rather go down with the Titanic than give up the fact that they are captains of the boat."

The people they’ve kicked off so far: a teen girl in her pajamas, a 70 year old man, someone in a wheelchair. I think the “community safety” logo on their shirts is meant to be sarcastic.

There are 6 trimet officers on this bus to make sure the passengers pay. This job requires 6 people? You ever get on a Portland bus and think, I wish it was more crowded?

I haven’t had a pregnancy scare in a decade. The IUD is the most effective birth control…. when you use it to stab men in the neck.

Spouse: “what’s your biggest fantasy in the bedroom right now?”

Me: “thar you pick up your fucking pile of dirty laundry.”

I went to the renaissance faire yesterday and boy are my arms tired. (From flapping and stimming in Autistic Joy.)

“Where do you see yourself in 10 years?”

“Probably a mirror or my front facing camera still.”

If you could travel back in time to kill Hitler as a baby, what would you wear?

Karl Marx - eat the rich Karl Marx - make the rich work in food-service

I saw the new How to Train your dragon. Spoiler alert: at the end, social services takes Toothless away and Hiccup moves to San Diego for college.

I love recycling

I saw the new How to Train your Dragon film and loved it!

Nephew: “what happens when you die?”

Me: “when I die, I think I want my ashes to be molded into crystal quartz pendants and then all of you will have to wear them as necklaces. But you can do whatever you want to your body. You can have it turned into mushrooms.”

My brother: “shut up.”

My workplace is doing a basic lifesaving class today and I don’t know if my coworkers and I are good at this. These dummies are not waking up.

Them: “wow you have been together 10 years?! What’s your secret?”

Me: “we both have attachment trauma.”

They say communication is very important in relationships because you can’t read your spouse’s mind. I know that’s true. I can’t read my spouse’s mind because it is so popular there’s a 6 week wait time to borrow it from the library.

I have demand avoidance when it comes to Duolingo. I’d rather pay a real owl to sassily judge me.

Guess what kind of person I am based on what I’m reading right now.
What are you reading? Do you have any recommendations?

Do what you love and you’ll never work a day…. Because you’ll push yourself to the point of burnout and then rage quit or get fired.

Overheard on the bus:

Man: “where do we get off?”

Woman: “I hate when you ask me directions. I don’t know directions. I just look them up on google maps. You could look them up yourself on google maps.”

Man: “do we get off on MLK street?”

Woman: “this whole street is MLK!”

I like people watching. And people listening and people talking. You might call it friendship.

Have you ever told someone you feel anxious and they say “there’s nothing to be afraid of” and then you’re terrified of them?

Me: “what’s your management style?”
New manager: “I’m a cheerleader and an encourager and a disciplinarian who believes in repercussions.”
Me: “that’s gotta be someone’s kink.”

Going to see my spouse’s favorite anime.
Me: “I feel like it sometimes objectifies young women.”
Them: “That’s ALL anime. It’s terrible and disempowering toward women.”
Me: (whispers quietly): “Moon Crystal Power Make Up.”

I loved this movie. Terrifying, hilarious, sweet, heartbreaking. And it’s so magically wonderfully supernatural… that the name Sinners wasn’t already taken.

Spruce trees communicate with more energetic synchronicity and harmony than my family.

I saw an article that said the taller you are, the shorter your life expectancy is, and I was like damn, babies are gonna live forever.
