I was right about Gryffindor all those years ago.

Cleaned the kitchen and did laundry. That’s quite enough for one day, TYVM.

Do I hear an AMEN!

I have absolutely no idea why we are doing this.

God “does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them.”

"But AI uses em dashes and semi-colons and figures of speech, so you can't use them in your--" Let me stop you right there. I don't give a damn what AI does. It will never impact the way I write. Ever. Nothing is less relevant to me than generative AI "writing" tendencies.

We’ve all been in this store.

Any Democrat who votes for the first part after they've announced the plan for the second part needs to be tarred and feathered.

How badly has the economy tanked? I just did my taxes and for the first time in almost a decade, I’m getting a refund—and that includes the amount I was “overpaid” in ACA subsidies. And that just 2025. My entire retirement is going. 🚽

Remember when Adobe tried to join Bluesky and ran away when all the comments were mean?

Welp. I was planning to make my annual sourdough hot cross buns for Easter and just realized my starter was a victim of The Great Hurricane Power Outage purge and now I have to start a new one and THERE IS NOT ENOUGH TIME!

This is why I never dated after my divorce 20 years ago. Also, this mom is a year older than me and I want to know what moisturizer she uses.

Here’s your house, @bschillace.brandyschillace.com complete with Jekyll garden!

Save this for when the first traveler is brutalized.

Looking forward to ICE ending these long lines at TSA checkpoints the only way they know how -- dispersing tear gas and savagely assaulting anyone who's left

I long to have to have this level of DNF game 😅

I just remembered that last night I applied for a job listed as “Lore Goblin.”

My retirement is tired of the winning.

When I worked in higher Ed, about every 6 moths we’d all think, We’re in the wrong business.” This occurred at the institution I was at and I have no doubt it cost this much. It is an actual thing that happens.

Well I’ve managed about six words so far today. #writersblock

Which regime is that?

This would be funny if so many people hadn’t been killed and the world wasn’t being scrambled as Putin gloats.

I should be writing. But sleeping cat.

“surprisingly”

🌱 I bought Iris bulbs in 2021 when my granddaughter, Iris, was born. Five years later, on has finally decided to bloom! I’m crediting the stretches of cold nights we’ve had here in FL this winter. 🌱

Amen.

BREAKING: Joe Kent resigns as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, says he can’t support the war against Iran. “Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”
