I had a dream people were ripping off their fingernails or even cutting off half of a finger and sending it to Trump to show allegiance. Somehow it doesn’t seem that farfetched. He had a tray of half-fingers.

I have tariffed
the penguins
that are on
Heard Island

and which
you were probably
assuming
did not export goods

forgive me
they were taking advantage of us
so cunning
and so cold

I had a dream Rupaul was my family doctor.

My parents spent the last week in montreal with us. My mom apologized to every Canadian she spoke to saying how embarrassed she is and that she didn’t vote for “that horrible man”

Thanks. She’s okay thankfully

Lunch of champions

Currently in the ER with my daughter who has intense stomach pain.

Dear Americans, as someone who has lived in three countries I would take Canada or France’s system over the US any day. No question.

I have boxes just like two of these. Maybe there’s only one of each and they live in both places.

That was the fastest redesign I’ve ever seen. And a huge improvement!

I’m hosting a community roundtable for small businesses this Friday to talk about how we’re all feeling and coping and what we can do to survive and support each other. links.kategilbert.com/widget/form/...

I’ll have to find the dog equivalent.

That’s a good one. Right now I find my feed extremely heavy and there’s only so much despair I can take in a day before I get in bed and stay there.

Love it!

Who is actually bringing you joy over here? I love that I know so many people who care deeply about so many things. But I also need a breather sometimes with puns and jokes so I don’t spend my entire day freaking out about the state of the world.

Yeah. We had never been apart for that long and certainly never gone that long without talking! It made her 9 days in Peru last year feel like nothing.

It was a biodiversity research program. One week in the jungle. One week on an island. No electricity except while traveling. It was through Operation Wallacea.

I just took a nap so intense that I woke up unsure if it was morning or night and who else was in the house.

Know what’s even less fun as doing bullshit administrative crap? Helping your kid do it. Passwords created randomly and not remembered or noted is so helpful. Sure. We can wait 2 weeks for a code to come by mail. Great.

That’s an idea.

Dang. Do I have to ask my parents? This is the only place they don’t interact with my content and I therefore have the illusion of some freedom of speech.

This is my worry too.

My 19 year old creating an account for a government thing online: “All these questions are for old people”

I quit coffee over a year ago. I miss it but I sleep better since. Last night was a question of my crappy sleep schedule over Christmas and new years. I just need to reset.

I know that’s the “healthy” way to do things! I sleep with a podcast on so I always have my phone.

Marnie that sucks

Ugh Marnie. That’s painful

What do you do when you’re awake in the middle of the night. Last night I went to sleep and woke up two hours later. My body thought it was a nap (to be fair when I woke up was still earlier than I’ve been going to bed lately). Then it took me 4 hours to sleep. I ended up eating popcorn at 4:30am.

There are two Christmas gifts hidden somewhere in this house and I can’t figure out where.

Parasaurolophus should be on the list. It’s just so satisfying to say.

Both Zuckerberg and Bezos are giving Trump $1M for inauguration.
