I had a dinner party!! And everything was really good!! Check out the deets on my blog if you feel like it :) whatever.scalzi.com/2025/09/22/t...

Saw this absolute banger of a shirt at the thrift store today 💀

Heyy y’all if you’re feeling bad about yourself, just know that I just pulled up to a Wendy’s and asked for a Whopper Jr. 💀

*I* shall be the romance novel writing Scalzi, make no mistake about that

I’m pumping gas right now and I inserted my card, and the screen said “do you want to donate to CHARITY?” broski, WHICH ONE? And why is it all in caps?!

Literally watching with my own eyeballs the high school students in front of me doing work on their laptops at the coffee shop and they are only using Google AI Overview and legit copy and pasting from it.

Look how adorable they are 🥺

I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.

How brain rotted do you have to be to see a video of someone in a ship and think of a black ops II map (that one is actually my second favorite map lmao)

When I was a teenager I used to put my phone in a Ziploc bag so I could text in the shower. So glad I’m past that phase. Now I don’t use a bag because I don’t care if my phone gets a little wet.

Charlie is thrilled to have received a limited edition bandana after her grooming appointment

Who wants to guess what I’m making??

Did someone say cookies?? No? Must’ve been the wind.

This boba is the freshest, softest, most yummy tapioca pearls I’ve ever had omggg this absolutely slapped

DAYUM can I get some pretzel bun with my honey mustard?? Fawk 😭😭

An absolutely giant bird just swooped down and flew like ten feet above my car and I was like wtf that’s a big ass bird, I looked and it was a bald eagle.

THREE more cans than a twelve pack?! No fucking way. My mind is absolutely blown. 3 more cans!? Dear god, has science gone too far?? 🤯🤯🤯

While I was in Chicago, I stayed at an especially awesome bed and breakfast, check out my post over Ray’s Bucktown Bed & Breakfast on the blog! whatever.scalzi.com/2025/07/30/r...

Last week I got the most relaxing, unique treatment in Chicago. Read all about my ASMR Spa Experience on the blog! whatever.scalzi.com/2025/07/28/a...

Hey y’all, are your pesky friends sending you messages that you have to READ with your eyeballs? Are you tired of comprehending the words that your friends are sending you telling you about their day and their feelings? Worry not, for Meta AI can take all of that absolute junk, and summarize it!

This is not the first person who (I assume) thinks I’m talking about the new Superman movie. I was saying Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel from 2013 is not a great movie. Different movie, I can assure you I’m not maga lmao 💀

Well bad news y’all I just rewatched Man of Steel andddd turns out it’s a bad movie. Whoopsie.

I’ve been seeing sooo many people lately get partnerships with Red Lobster and post videos of them trying their Crab Fest stuff and I’m literally manifesting that for meee I want crab legsss you guys are all so lucky getting partnered with Red Lobster tf 😭😭😭 I’m jealous fr

A very happy 30th birthday to bisexuality, born this day in 1995 🎂

Two boards I made this past week 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Not only did the man next to me at the bar at T.G.I.Fridays immediately offer to buy me a shot as soon as I saddled up, but I then proceeded to eat the world’s coldest bowl of broccoli cheddar soup. Girl dinner at its finest.

Y’all aren’t gonna believeee this but I was sat next to a lil ol lady and her grandkids on the plane, and the little boy was talking nonstop to the grandma about KPop Demon Hunters and explaining everything that happened and kept saying he loved it sooo much he keeps watching it on repeat 🥺🥺🥺

The lady next to me at the airport just said “espresso martinis and oysters” and I think I want to be friends with her now

My apologies in advance, all I will be talking about and thinking about for the next indeterminate amount of time is KPop Demon Hunters

On a plane that departed at 6am, all 25 rows of seats had their window shade down, except one. The people across the aisle had their shade WIDEEE open and I was getting absolutely blinded while they were conked out. Look at my pupil, it’s struggling against the full, concentrated power OF THE SUN!

In case anyone was wondering how being up at 4am could possibly be anymore funtastic than being at an airport, the airport’s power and systems are all down and no one can get through security, not even the airline employees.

Does this look yummy to you?? Then you should totally check out my post over my visit to Grist! whatever.scalzi.com/2025/06/30/c...

If sake and sushi are totally your thing, you should check out my blog post over a tasting event I went to in Dayton! whatever.scalzi.com/2025/06/25/s...

Tell me why the hell I spend a solid ten minutes steaming my dress to go to a nice event when the SECOND I sit in my car to actually drive to the event, it wrinkles. Every time.

Wow I sincerely hope that no one who reads my blog has noticed that every time I talk about the app TikTok I’ve written it as “Tik Tok”. That would sure be embarrassing if everyone knew that I was making that mistake.. for four years..

Charlie wants to know if it’s okay if she just rests her head on your leg for a second.. she swears she won’t fall asleep

*washes a load, leaves it in the washer overnight* Oops *rewashes, leaves it in the washer the entire day and night* …oops *rewashes, does the exact same thing* …….oops

I really want some basil for my ricotta toast but that means I’d have to go all the way down to the garden to get it, which normally wouldn’t be an issue but the landscaping guys are here and I’m in my pajamas 😤 Do I dare risk being perceived for some tasty leafs?

Me: I feel like watching this new John Oliver episode over kids in prison will make me depressed *watches it* Me: oh, yep it sure did

I typed “me thinks” in Docs and it was like “umm actually I think you mean ‘I think’ 🤓” No I did not mean “I think” Google Docs SHEESH

Would you perhaps like a Charlie picture for your Monday?

While I am slightly saddened that my father is away in Italy on Father’s Day, I am currently eating his Mexican leftovers so, pretty good Father’s Day overall for me

Krissy and I scheduled today's trip months ago so we had to cheer the protests today from afar, but @athenascalzi.com represented the family at a local event. I'm proud of her. whatever.scalzi.com/2025/06/14/n...

My parents’ 30th anniversary is coming up and once again The Internet has been so generous and kind and sent them a lovely gift basket from Harry & David! I shall abscond with a cookie 😈 Thank you, Internet! You always brighten our days around here!

Found at my favorite Miami County Park (Maple Ridge). Thank you @scalzi.com & @athenascalzi.com for your donation! My dad's science teacher, WW Coy, owned the property when dad was young and he fondly remembers fishing in the river & the pond as a teen. The bench rests by Coy Pond.

NOOOO CASSIA MY ONE TRUE LOVE FUCKK

Do you like listening to academic style talks but wish it was in a more casual, fun setting? Joui Wine in Dayton has got you covered with their new series of events called “Night School!” Check out the deets on my blog :) whatever.scalzi.com/2025/06/04/a...

Did I just take the most aesthetic picture of my life?? You tell me

Lucky for you all I have TWO more pictures of Camp Krissy for you to enjoy.

I’ve seen my future and it isn’t lookin too good
