1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Gaeta the cat is really appreciating this rodent-heavy run this morning at @gamesdonequick.com !!!

Very late update: didn't know she came back. Sobbed!!!!!

Somehow made it my whole life without knowing the plot to Wicked, and I still have no idea what happens in the second act but I wept through fhe first one and am about to watch the second so here we go.

I told Elliott I loved her, and she said, "And I love you too! And why wouldn't i?"

Kenny drew this Rosalina for Elliott, and I said she looked like "90s girl draws Rosalina in her composition notebook."

My brother's friend died 2 weeks ago. B's birthday party was Saturday after & I gave him a wood carving kit. He texted me earlier this week the little bear he carved. I'm sure he used it to distract himself from being so sad & sometimes I feel like maybe I am a useful sister that actually can help.

Nothing has surprised me more than raising my child without any explicit religion & her almost immediately making one up herself. Like tell me why we saw a pick up truck & she started bowing her head with her hands clasped because she was "praying to Grandpa Bob" because he "had a pick up truck."

I feel like the jelly selection at my local grocery stores has significantly decreased.

Say hello to our GDQueer mascot, Byte!! 🥰🏳️‍🌈 Byte is a goofy ahhh cybernetic stegosaur who loves to stay up late for Awful/Silly block!! #GDQueer

Kenny just asked if I wanted to add regular cider to my sparkling cider to make a "virgin mimosa."

If I were terrible, I'd be like, "Cat distribution system? How about we have such an overpopulated feral cat population that cats are suffering outdoors in abundance." (If you find a cat and you love it, what a marvel and joy.)

I am so sick and tired of people trying to neutralize GenAI by saying, "It's a tool," as if that absolves it of harm that was used to create it and the harm it is perpetuating. ESPECIALLY if they compare it to a CALCULATOR.

Kiss 👏 kiss 👏 kiss 👏

Idk maybe I should start lying and see how far that gets me

Check out this very fun story by @exclamate.bsky.social

Ya girl has a SHORT STORY out today in @sillygoosepress.bsky.social.

One of the nearly nonexistent sadnesses that I have about not dating a woman is not being able to get woman-hand-sized head scratches. (Kenny chews his nails, and they are never scratch length.)

Next week!

I heard "You Might Think" by The Cars on the radio the other day, and I've never been so sure a moody acoustic woman-singing version of a song exists before in my life.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck you

I think part of the reason we're all so obsessed with Pedro Pascal is because he seems like the kind of man who would punch someone to protect you but then genuinely weep about it later because he hated that he had to be violent.

Want to have less menstrual cycles? Try: STRESS. (On day 64 of my cycle 🙃)

Be a community of care!!

My phone decided to go from working fine to barely functioning Friday. I had to go into the office today, & mentioned to my Real Friend coworker that I'd have to sit inside for lunch because I wouldn't know the time except "time to buy a watch." He chuckled, took off his watch, & handed it to me.

Disappointed to learn that a person I was no longer friends with seems to have disappeared from the internet so I can no longer see if she's doing poorly or not.

I simply cannot believe this bean arch is wilin' as hard as it is.

I have free will & a barely there HOA.

Something really dangerous about electronic invitations is I just send them out and then figure out major details later 😬

Everyday I text my friend to remind her to take her meds and sometimes we share photos of flowers or something funny and sometimes she's like "thanks my eye is healing well" with a photo of one eye fully swollen shut, and I'll be like WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR EYE???

A reminder that "fit" beyond places specifically saying, "fit these specifications," is sort of a myth. I had queer vegetable poems and submitted them to a queer plant journal and got rejected twice! I remember thinking it was niche!

Not my toxic ex* showing up in my social media feeds *Brand New is playing shows again

I miss rainbow capitalism ☹️

It’s been a journey toward understanding this and I’m happy to share. White supremacy’s only goal is total annihilation. When we try to make ourselves “small” to be fit in and not be a bother or whatever, we’re actually doing white supremacy’s job.

THIS WEEK ON SEVERANCE: We might not have DEI anymore, but our friends on the show somehow have too much???

Once again mad that last year of the Biden presidency was spent depressed and spiraling in large part because my dad killed himself. A final hurrah, huh!

Spending the day hanging out* with my friends *Texting multiple group chats

This year one of them was labeled A GIRL'S FAVORITE TOY on the side lmao

Goodreads gave me a nemesis, and they must know they are my nemesis because, anytime I see them in the wild, they pretend like they don't know me. We've done MULTIPLE READINGS together.

I miss TikTok :(

Happy New Year from the Morris Lakes! Shoutout to Lucy Dacus for this unreleased song.

We are watching one of my brother and SIL's dogs while he (the dog) recovers from pneumonia since they are going on their honeymoon. They came over yesterday and left him here. Kenny pointed out that our neighbors will think we got a dog for Christmas and regretted it a week later.

Mom and I were walking out to her car, and there was a pause in our conversation, and she goes, "I hope I know when I'm dying."

A few years ago, I bought a Julie Andrew's Christmas album. When I put it on, halfway through the first side, Kenny goes, "Is it all just going to be the same woman?" And I said "Julie Fucking Andrews?????" And then we both laughed until we couldn't breathe.

Thinking about my coworker who, early pandemic, shared in a zoom that she had seen a brilliant red bird that was so beautiful and she didn't know what it was and we very quickly deciphered it was a cardinal. She is FROM the northeast. She is 20 years older than I!

Just hyped my mom up in my favorite way (reminded her how great I am)

He's moving TO FINLAND and now I need go find a new hairstylist :(

Post-bed, E> came back downstairs & had her sleeping cap that has a bauble at the end. She stands there and says "so...this fuzzy ball isn't that fuzzy anymore." Kenny says something like "& THAT'S why you're out of bed?" Elliott says, "I'm sorry if it's not a reason! That's why I'm here!"
