I’ve tried sleep, rest, electrolytes, gentle tolerated exercise, upping my antihistamine dose. My diet already is as restrictive as it gets.

I welcome any other bright ideas. I’m in bed and miserable

Thank you!!! I’m trying to not be frustrated, and just roll with it. But I feel so icky!!!

Why? 🤷

Time change—maybe my body is as mad as the cats are? I did my walking PT outside on Monday — it was really sunny and windy. I hadn’t walked outside in a while? Weather—it’s been a wild one this week? Work—I worked too long on Tuesday? I have a virus?

All of the above?

None of the above?

I had a GREAT week last week. I felt legitimately pretty good all week.

Then this week.

Total crash.

I’m in the middle of a brutal Long Covid PEM/MCAS/dysautonomia flare. I feel ok-ish if I’m lying down or reclining. Otherwise, I feel like 💩

My head hurts, my joints hurt, I’m nauseated, I’m lightheaded and dizzy, my muscles are weak, I’m SUPER sensitive to light, my memory is shit

none of us should have to spend this much time thinking about an elderly cognitively impaired person to whom we are not related

What's My JND? Find your Just Noticeable Difference in colour perception. How small a colour difference can you actually see?

Well, this is amusing. And it explains why I’m *really* annoying when editing things that contain visuals, like websites and stuff.

My therapist agrees this is not good for me.

SO much.

I’m not even kidding that I’ve started to go to bed later — a thing my broken body and brain can hardly afford — just because I miss actual news by going to sleep at 8:30

Blaming Jesus when you bomb an elementary school is one hell of a take (and yes, pun intended). Did you perhaps forget about free will? You own your own evil.

Soooooo allergic to Old Bay, and yet…

I kept hearing a song on our work playlist and I kept thinking, wow this is kind of a bop, who dropped this Bollywood-ass beat? is this Punjabi? and nothing could have prepared me for the fact that it was Ed Sheeran

And people wonder why MAGA is in charge

Or TO

Dear god. Stop giving this dude airtime. Just fucking stop.

Make it stop.

Why are we still talking about the dude with the Nazi tattoo?

24 hour dry brine + a basket-style air fryer (45 minutes breast-side down at 350°, flip 15 min at 400°) perfect every time for a 3.5-4# bird

I was skeptical of the air fryer, but now I’m a total convert

This is the kind of fact and data visualization that is just ENDLESSLY fascinating to me

December 2025 through February 2026 was the 2nd warmest winter on record for the Contiguous U.S. according to Prism climate data. The widespread record to near record warmth in the west easily outweighed the cool temps in the east. 🔥🔥🔥

I’m just so dang proud of the chicken! Even though they come out just about the same (IMHO, perfectly!) every time!

I also roasted a chicken. As you do.

More postcards

I’ve just been coloring a lot this weekend

Reminds of the time I tried to help Caitlin Flanagan of the Atlantic understand that Khomeini and Khamenei were two separate supreme leaders and she absolutely refused to accept it and then blocked me

Melania cosplaying Edith Wilson was not on my bingo card

New poll: Voters would rather pause deportations than pay more for groceries, housing Trump's State of the Union address was largely about crime and immigration. Voters in our poll want to hear less about immigration policy and more about how he's going to bring down prices

New poll: 42% of adults say they would spend a hypothetical $75 billion surplus on reducing housing, health care, & food costs, vs 5% who say immigration enforcement.

Voters also say they'd want to pause Trump's deportations if they were causing inflation.

Incredible

Gonna teach this in our media training. Works best on live Tv.

Exactly.

GenAI literally CANNOT apologize to you. It can barely “apologize.” It cannot think. It is not sentient. It does not feel or understand. It is not “glad” when you catch its mistakes or “call it out” on its bullshit.

PEOPLE.

This shit is 🍌🍌🍌
