I just DMed him like a psycho! He didn’t have to answer me. What an angel.

Paul Ford, who does not know me, advised me not to pay for a coding bootcamp, a thing I probably should have paid him a coding bootcamp amount of money for.

Dan!!!!

Screenshot of an ad on Pandora. A vaguely grungy brown background, a header that says, “Message From Pandora Alternative.” A dark blue circle in the center has a chunky font that reads, “CIGARETTE MOM ROCK.” The text is annoyingly off center like there’s an extra space in there or something. A white button at the bottom reads “Tap Now to Listen.”

This is…the worst fucking thing I’ve ever seen.

Happy Valentine’s Day. 🖤

Me: [Puts on “You Are the Best Thing” by Ray LaMontagne.]

Bear: ”Is this big city music?!”

Dave, obviously it’s you!

Where would it go otherwise? I think I’d be a little sad imagining one of my ribs all alone somewhere.

I am soul-crushingly sad about the state of the world.

Have a person in your life who can call queso dinner. A pound of Velveeta, a pound of ground beef, a can of Rotel, chips chips chips, food coma into bedtime.

what if i were as powerless as i am now, but i was panicking way more???

So good and bold and weird.

Today I started crying as a Walmart employee asked me what my lost purse looked like and the thing that I had to choke out through tears was, “Like a piece of toast with a—with—with a pat of butter on ittttt.”

Bear, 8, squeezing my arm: Hey, that looks fat!

Me, giggling: Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Bear: Good. It means you must have ate some food. And you’re healthy.

Outstanding journalism.

The fact that Houston/Dallas beef exists even on death row is the most Texas thing ever.

The only thing I eat from now on is our house special: GF cheese pizza with gyro meat, cherry tomatoes, red onions, and roasted tomato labneh.

Oh, in that case it’s perfect.

No Cat Power before 8 a.m!

CBB Bump!

You: It’s okay. Go to your happy place.

In 5th grade a girl with internet at home (rich!) brought printed lyrics to Jagged Little Pill and they said “Congress” where the swears were. (I’m brave but I’m chicken Congress, etc.) A strange time.

There are sickos who enjoy all kinds of stuff—mine is paperwork—and we should learn to harness them without guilt.

I time travelled from 2015 just to post this.

The plot of Speed but instead of a bus, it’s The Decemberists, and instead of going below 55 mph, it’s singing about the sea.

Maybe they just need to take their daily pills. Maybe they ate one Oreo from a hidden location and need one swig of secret milk. Hypothetically.

Pleasing.
