And is also super cool of you.

That makes SO much sense.

wait is it DIY as in "Grace assembled an advent calendar of dumplings" or DIY as in "here are 24 cool dumpling recipes to try!"

because I think it's the former and I was so steeped in the latter my whole brain was crossing.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

I would like to also thank you for doing things. And also existing. You make my life better. 💖💖💖

Things I am getting more conservative about as I age: wishing they would slow down changing the goddamn user interfaces of every damn thing

Things I am getting less "conservative" about: believing that every human being deserves rights, resources, and dignity.

Where I live, SU is always Syracuse University, unequivocally a big university. I am inappropriately snickering to myself about this post.

Is there a script for when our senator IS Chuck Schumer? I have already called him and asked him to step aside at least twice over the past months.

Fuck this entire economy. I'm so sorry.

I do not recommend this method.

I made significant headway on my TBR over the holiday!

... while traveling, my Kindle failed to sync and the licenses of every single book including documents failed, so I had to factory reset, and I had just enough time to download Only New Books before a 14 hour train ride.

No more PJM data centers unless they can be reliably served: market monitor The PJM Interconnection’s market monitor urged the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to rule that large data centers can only come online if the grid operator can still meet reliability metrics.

big late breaking news: the market monitor for the largest energy grid in the u.s., covering much of the midwest and mid-atlantic, has called to block new data centers connections to the grid, saying current course of growth assures regular blackouts

Anybody who is like “Piracy is activism!”—trust me, supporting your local library is about 1000% more effective activism, and it’s still free for you and authors still get paid!

I am meant to be packing for Thanksgiving but I sat down for five minutes and my cat sat on my lap and this is Better, Actually

I will feel better if I do a little yoga video and then read a book. So why do I only want to sit on my phone and play silly mobile games?

I only worked 5.75 hours! And I came home with a really enormous latte to keep me company.

I made a shortbread cookie base and a meringue topping, and one frittata for my family and one frittata for a friend! I think you win though

Man, gotta love some Wall Street guy who decides It’s Time To Care About Poverty and uses vibe math to recalculate the poverty line, as… $136,500

Extreme “it’s one banana, Michael” energy

By which I mean to say: thank you. You're doing the work, and it's working, and I admire and appreciate you.

Your frustration makes sense and I share it. I was going to be all like, time to write a romance novel about transit! And then it occurred to me to tell you that I recommend your novels to people who like romance and have iffy politics, and it starts constructive conversations, and it changes minds.

Proud of myself for sticking to my boundary of not cooking more than three times a week, though. Yesterday the dinner plan was "JP, it's cool if we go out to parties and you solo parent, right?"
which was actually a relaxing one pan situation where Kiddo and I ate the leftover sourdough with eggs.

Anyway they solved the problem by making a special trip to get a grocery store pizza. It's not great but it's food?

Me on Monday: so, our fridge is broken. Here's a dinner plan that feeds 3 adults and one tween from Tuesday through Friday. I am working on the weekend and can't help with dinner on those days.

Them, today: JP, what are your dinner thoughts?

update: fortified with lunch, I have now turned on the shower.

BATTLE WILL COMMENCE once the water is warmed up.

Two column kombucha girl meme. Kombucha girl makes "ick" face: getting in the shower Kombucha girl makes "this is okay" face: being in the shower Kombucha girl makes "ick" face: getting out of the shower

This is very [this meme] of me.

me at work: boy oh boy I can't wait to be home! I'm gonna take a shower and put on soft clothes, like maybe my cozy dinosaur onesie, and I'll feel clean and good and wonderful.
me, literally half an hour later, staring at the shower: but I do not WANT to be Wet?

I'm so sorry.

me, eating oatmeal: Hello, porridge. I could be in a fantasy novel right now. Perhaps as a nice supporting character with less mortal peril than a protagonist, but maybe some cool powers anyway. Nom nom nom fantasy novel food.
