The best part about being an adult is messing with my mom. I'd seriously love to get kiddo to draw each ninja turtle and then me, my husband, my brother, and maybe his wife, all get them tattooed...

Oh my.

I feel like I was productive enough yesterday that I shouldn't need to work today.... I don't need PTO, I did two days worth of work yesterday, so that means I get today off, ya?

It's all true... but the style of this meme is breaking my brain a bit.

The most condescending, out of touch, enraging 5 minutes before I DNFed and unsubsubbed from The Bulwark. They laughed and said the outrage is "online only" and not "real people" as people lose their healthcare. The search for an indie news channel continues. Fuck you. youtu.be/EZDK6T79mto?...

Not gonna lie, I was nervous. Thank, fuck.

I PLACED A CLIENT AT AN ANIMAL SHELTER WITH FREE ROAMING CATS I get to play with cats from 9am to 12pm twice a week every week for 3 months. I'm not sure what made Monday get an attitude adjustment but instead of fighting, we are vibing.

I almost understand where he's coming from.... but still..... no. Please don't let AI take the soul of our writing. Your words are your own, don't let AI slop shape the way your story unfolds. Those are YOUR characters! AI is great for science. Great for cancer detection. Horrible for the arts.

New WIP

I try to be mindful with how i phrase emails to my kid's teacher and yet I'm still worried i could come across as "that mom" But then I see this. And im like... I'm fine.

Happy 5 year anniversary to all that celebrate Four Seasons Day

Didn't realize maddow was here on bluesky

Kiddo is turning 6 in a couple of weeks so we upgraded his bed. I swear I would have killed for this room growing up

My mom and I took kiddo out to lunch and a movie. First we got pizza and my good lady cuts hers with a fork. The movie is the 40th anniveraary re-release of back to the future. She's gasping, "oh no" when something bad happens. She's so quaint and dainty I'm not sure how she raised me.

Picture it, a silent room. A sleeping Esme. Enter, the child. "Is the future fucking real?" Oh dear Fuck in heaven.

Kiddo won a reading contest at school. He could read the most sight words out of his class. Perhaps I didn't JUST clone my husband's personality after all. Perhaps there's a small bit of me lurking in there

How can you not love fall? My whole commute is gorgeous

Suddenly, 50% of my ads are BetterHelp ads (which is a therapy service) Is my algorithm concerned about me, or is BetterHelp going on an ad blitz? What I'm asking is, is it just me? I'm fine, algorithm. I mean I'm not, but I am. Ya know? I don't need BetterHelp

I'm almost giddy today. I know this was a fairly small election and next year matters way more and that things are still dogshit. But what a message we all just sent. Impossible to ignore.

Yall Maybe we haven't all lost our minds after all. Maybe there's enough of us here who are sane to right the ship. I haven't felt a flicker of hope in what feels like several lifetimes. We won it all last night.

The algorithm feeds me. It knows what I want. Roar.

I hope this means PA is over her swing state phase and into her Blue Era

Kid "what do plants eat?" Me "light" Kid ".....what?" Me "yeah, it's kind of neat, ya?" Kid "do they fart rainbows?" ..................he needs to animate some tv shows when he's older or something.

I swear to fuck if i hear about rigged elections imma start screamin' Y'all won the senate, house, and presidential seat just about a year ago and have been in charge of everything since. It's not rigged. You just suck so bad you're bringing out rare voters like my husband.

And a flip in NJ. Nancy Munez was ousted after a long term encumbency as a moderate G'bye!

10 flips in the VA house of delegates. NYC is kicking out Cuomo despite trumps endorsement - say it ain't so We flipped two in Georgia We won the governors race and lt governor in VA PA is retaining our court This isn't just a wave, this is close to a tsunami. I have a flicker of hope.

Watching all these elections very intently because if we have a clean sweep, then there's hope for the midterms.

Hey hey hey PA voters! Today's the day to go on an "off year" and vote when it really matters! Vote yes to retain our supreme court, they're our last stand between the republicans and our state having as backwards of laws as they have in the deep south, overturning roe v. wade, etc. VOTE

It was creepy enough when one cat fixated on something in the room I can't see. Now I have a hoard of cats. More than one is fixating on something in the room I can't see and it's giving me the jeebies. Stop it. Stop that at once.

I am starting to get ads to immigrate to Canada. I am genuinely interested and filled out a general inquiry. I'm likely not eligible since I think the standards are set fairly high, but get me the fuck out please and thank you

Kiddo wanted a birthday party My understanding is that folks don't really do that anymore because no one comes He insisted So, I made the party invites...we'll see if anyone responds yes and who actually comes Are birthday parties generally always a disaster now, or am I stressing over nothing?

I am entering my plant era I bought like 6 of them compulsively the last month or so I didn't know they could come with bullshit sayings. I want all my plants to be unreasonably sassy.

Child: "Sometimes my bones smash together" Me: "I'm sorry what?" Child: (curls into ball and rolls around) Me: I guess that's --- Child: "sometimes it makes me want to say curse words" I feel like I'm adaptable and can wing weird conversations but he's testing my limits.

Another feral I hope to get vaccinated and neutered. No, it's not vetinari, you can tell because of the white paws. Unsure what to call this one. Much less spicy. Still grumpy. Also fatter. I'm thinking Ridcully.

We had more warnings about Trump than a drug commercial, yet 77 million Americans still voted for anal leakage.

The comments section of FB is such a risky click, but sometimes it pays off.

I wish cats could do my laundry instead of just pooping in boxes.

God fucking damnit Bagheera is inside Every time I bring a feral inside another one just fucking poofs into existence outside. There is now a tuxedo-tabby outside (white chest and paws w/tabby body) that I've never seen before NO MORE CATS - I LOVE YOU, BUT NO OMG SPAY/NEUTER & KEEP CATS INSIDE

Am I over reacting to pull my kid from school over a play? Like, what year is it? They weren't friends. It was a genocide, ya?

My kitchen is a mess and it's my deepest wish that someone else come and clean it. Do I just need to Believe real hard and a Small God of Large Messes will come and take care of it for me? Please. I'll tip.

Banana pumpkin cinnamon applesauce mega muffins Chaos kitchen adventures.

It's pull apart garlic bread Lawd Oh lawd I'm going to have to forget how to make this because it's dangerous

Happy halloween!
