Huge thanks to @bumas.bsky.social, @ellievhall.bsky.social, @cates.bsky.social, and @grantirving.bsky.social for helping me get this out today. The internet is more chaotic and intense than I've ever seen it. Impossible to keep up with it on my own.

Scheduled to cancel my ISP over Verizon chat tonight and “Misty” was super helpful. At the end after confirmation when she was like “any other questions?” I straight up said “sorry to ask this! But. Are you an actual human or an AI?” and her response was “lmao my name is Lakshmi ♥️”

Sex is fine and all but have you listened to Randy Described Eternity by Built To Spill while falling asleep? music.youtube.com/watch?v=cnU-...

Was listing to All Things Considered this evening on @npr.org on my physical radio and heard my colleague @bumas.bsky.social in this story! Super rad!!! www.npr.org/2025/08/28/n...

Today’s my bday and I was just out on a super dark deck just vibing and I saw: 1. The Milky Way (rad) 2. An owl!! I think a saw-whet or northern pigmy (super rad!!) 3. A BEAR (NO. FUCK THAT IT WAS SO CLOSE. I KNOW THIS IS ITS HOME AND HUMANS ARE THE INTRUDERS BUT BRUH IT WAS SO CLOSE.)

I felt the full range of human emotions yesterday and right now I’m staring at a sky full of stars and the Milky Way and feeling them all over again.

can’t wait to update my therapist on my latest quarterly trauma

proud to have derailed a large @garbageday.email channel today with the simple question “but was gadget still hot”

love hard and well

hey, hey, listen. the only thing that ultimately matters is love. fill your world with as much love and kindness as you can.

it’s incredible how much a bad dream can fuck you up for days

yeah

update: i've had a fruit and protein smoothie every day since i got it and it's great. 10/10 purchase

mr sandman, man me a sand

My therapist is gonna be so proud of me when she hears how I reacted to a bigass bug in my apartment just now

got a nutribullet last week and i feel like a different person. kitchen gadgets in your 40s just hit different.

never forget

I wrote about DashCon 2 in yesterday’s @garbageday.email newsletter and it made me wish I had attended www.garbageday.email/p/the-legacy...

GIMME you promised!!

Heard another big sad today. Fuck cancer.

hiiii @garbageday.email live is coming to brooklyn next week! i'll be there and on stage at one point lmao. come see the show, it'll make you feel things! wl.seetickets.us/event/garbag...

Okay actually I’ve done countless interviews about The Dress and this one was the only one that asked me if it was a bad experience. Which it wasn’t but kind of it was at times.

If you look closely, you'll notice the light hanging from my ceiling that my landlords haven't fixed for over a year. But also check out Long Shadow, this season should be fascinating!

absolutely thrilled to say that I started my first year-long @garbageday.email [redacted] metrics tracking spreadsheet (not joking lmao)

I want to catch up on The Bear but emotionally idk if I’m ready for the Fishes episode

Oh hey, I'm in this! Thanks for a fascinating conversation about a day when the internet was actually (mostly) fun, @longlead.com! longshadowpodcast.com/podcasts/bre...

the farmers market this morning had garlic scapes so I apologize in advance to anyone I talk to face to face next week cause I made scape pesto

restarting my Brooklyn summer manta of “this is a cheap apartment, you got a pando deal, it’s worth the compromises, you’re priced out of the area if you complain” :)

New Genshin update was too big for my iPad so I finally plugged in my ex’s Xbox for the first time in uhhh4 years? My therapist would be proud. Wish me luck.

It fucking pisses me off and makes me super sad my mom didn’t live to see this. Anyways, tomorrow is gonna suck because Big Sad and I’m glad I have a job now where I feel totally fine being like “I may or may not work Thursday depending on how I’m feeling”

I got so deeply back into an old blorbo recently omg

My day one first act as managing editor of @garbageday.email was to take a half day for an appointment so I think I’m off to a fantastic start

some ~personal news~

Thinking about where I was last week

Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man is rarely on display for the public but there was a special exhibit at Venice’s Accademia and ohhhh my god

this post was brought to you by eating a peach barehanded overlooking a canal in venice

How do I explain to my therapist when I get back from Italy that for the last decade or 4 my brain has pretty much been in the Pear Wiggler and I have just begun to wiggle out

So it turns out doing things for yourself is actually good and healthy

Artist was Carlo Scarpa, M.V.M Cappellin & C., 1929-1931

Absolutely losing my mind over this little guy I saw in the glass museum in Murano Italy. I love him. Massive ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ energy

Making small talk with the millennials on my wine tour: “My last job was at Tumblr” “Omg I loved Tumblr!” “Yeah me too! Previously I was at BuzzFeed.” “OMG the quizzes got me through college! I heard it was just the 10-year anniversary of that viral dress, can you believe it?” “So, funny story…”

I was so normal during the 4 hours I spent wandering the Uffizi today. So, so normal. I promise.

I wept.

Just got rickrolled at an airport bar at JFK. My Italy trip is off to a phenomenal start.

fuck it, going to Italy next week

GIVE ME YOUR HICCUP REMEDIES NOW

My bodega had peonies and I lost my entire mind and bought some
