This has been the WEIRDEST day.

Oh, that’s hard. I’m sorry.

Oh, there’s a blast from the past

They kept getting more and more expensive, & the caffeinated lemonade thing was insane, but I was so addicted to several menu items. Then they completely changed the menu; my favorites were gone, nothing was familiar, and the chips changed for the worse. All value removed. No reason to go back.

Is November the optimal time to be repotting a snake plant? Maybe not for the plant, but it sure is for my brain! Fuck you, dreary gray skies, I’ve got dirt under my nails and chlorophyll in my heart. 🪴

Just spent 30 minutes puttering around with my office plants, repotting a few, rearranging for optimal light, moving a big spider baby to her own home, whispering encouragement to the droopy Christmas cactus cutting with the single bud.

I feel SO. MUCH. BETTER.

That’s so sweet. Meanwhile, I texted the link to my husband with the caption, “if I have to see this so do you”

Elordi as The Creature, carrying Elizabeth down the stairs. I will not be accepting any questions at this time.

I LOVE this.

His Ripley was subtle, sinister, and absolutely riveting.

UGH, I love both actors, but I HATE WUTHERING HEIGHTS. Oh, well, I can just watch Frankenstein forever.

Ah, yes. The time-honored itchy corgi tradition of Snorfling the Undercarriage. I am familiar.

I have been ranting for the last 5 years about how neglecting phonics made some of Gen Z functionally illiterate. It started really coming to light during the pandemic, when parents had to directly assess their kids’ skills at home. Check out “Sold a Story.”

An old friend who has gone full-on Woo as of late is waxing rhapsodic over getting a forest-bathing massage. As in, a professional massage, on a table, IN THE WOODS. In FLORIDA. Where the insects will carry your oiled-up carcass off before the snakes and gators even get a chance.

*gasp!* Have you seen Frankenstein yet?

I signed it. Alas that there was not an option for a middle finger emoji to Durbin for punctuation.

Kevin Ryan for US Senate Kevin Ryan—Marine Corps veteran and public school teacher—running to represent Illinois in the United States Senate, to make government work for all of us by removing the corrupting influence of money...

Dick Durbin, putting the “lame” in “lame duck” yet again. Of course, he was toothless before he announced retirement.

Anyway, support Kevin Ryan:

@yrfatfriend.bsky.social is this something you could boost?

I appreciate the solidarity. “It takes a coven…”

Lord, no wonder I’m so tired.

Thanks, darlin’! We saw Frankenstein; it was excellent.

Mamdani’s acceptance speech has me tearing up, whew! I’m so glad I got to visit NYC last month; I’m so happy for them ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

LOL

Holy shit, they did it. They did it? THEY DID IT

Lol

I’m so sorry this is happening.

Strange smol fren, can lick?

“Now, I know for a fact that the working class in this country looks more like a Latino woman who cleans houses than it looks like Platner, a former defense contractor turned oyster farmer with some leftist political beliefs.”
