An astronaut zooming in on the edge of the surface of the moon and going "Duuude." is a close second to "The mewn" in terms of me feeling so super comfortable and invested in everything about this. Baltimoreans in space! gen-x and millennials in space! Fuck yeah!

Maya Angelou on the joys of being edited

FRIENDS! Help me quit my soulsucking day job that wants to replace humans with poorly functioning robots! If you or someone you know is looking to buy or sell a home, no matter where you live in the US, reach out to me! I can refer you to an amazing agent in my network and receive referral bonuses!

Killing it at trivia you guys

"Someone tried to strangle Sneako", "Clavicular just had a drug overdose", I refuse to believe that understanding any of these headlines is better for me than chain-smoking

Mystrade May 2026 Is Live! www.tumblr.com/meansgirlwri... #mystrade #sherlock #bbcsherlock #221bcon #ao3 #fanfiction #ficfest Plenty of info at the link, but see thread for more details.

We’re in Greensboro, NC!

Alex: why does your phone have so many adoptable dogs on it? Me: the algorithm shows me wedding dresses, which I already have, and second dogs, which ☝️ I do not have…..yet 👀

I love the way Reid Wiseman, born and raised here in Baltimore, pronounces the word "moon." It makes me feel safe, IDK what to tell you.

I know what I want for Rex Manning Day 🙏

I am so glad we leave tomorrow for our two-day journey Atlanta-ward, and that I am not working. The surreality of this day, I cannot repeat it tomorrow.

Not me waiting til the last minute to even think about what I need to pack for 221B Con. I usually have this finished well ahead of time. We're driving, so I don't have to be reasonable and can pack WHATEVER I WANT! So, who will I be seeing in Atlanta this weekend??

Stainless steel pot handle vs. my hand.

If you see this, i implore you to post a picture from whatever device you’re using, with no explanation.

Finally.

Is anyone able to get a decent short (like, a regular, normal, fuckass bob) haircut for under $100 anymore? I'll say it again, I know we all have to make a living, but god DAMN the prices. And the apparent rarity of a stylist who knows how to CUT HAIR, not just color it???

Me: so do you have any good gossip? My daughter, turning to me with the biggest eyes you’ve ever seen: oh, HONEY! Do I???!!!

Project Hail Mary fucking slapped, I feel my load has been lightened.

Watching the contractor, to whom my shit ass job theoretically outsourced 2 very reliable people's jobs, get away with just not doing the assignments handed to them... oh, it sure is something.

If anyone is into popcorn, my oldest is doing a fundraiser for her class to go on a big overnight field trip to study environmental science-y things. I don't want to put her face all over the internet, so HMU in the DMs if you're interested and I'll link you! Some of the flavors pictured here!

Listen I know everyone has to make a living but wedding photography packages *starting* at $7k is absolutely absurd.

Passed my real estate licensing exam and thinking about rewarding myself with pizza, calamari, and COPIOUS amounts of wine this evening.

Utz potato chip factory! We also did a canoe-focused day trip. One time, there was an alpaca farm.

EVERYBODY IS OUTSIDE!!!! ☀️🌸🕶️

I am so close to quitting my job and it is getting harder and harder every day to pretend that I care about it whatsoever.

The thing I run into a lot at work, and it drives me up a wall, is the way that generative AI has made certain types of people think they know how to do things they absolutely do not.

I answered a similar question while back with a NYC spot. This time I'll go Baltimore: I would do unspeakable things for just one more serving of Paulie Gee's cheese pizza topped with their arugula salad (light lemon vinaigrette included). They closed with basically no notice. It was devastating.

GO

I have spent months not reading fic because I've been studying for the course I was taking. Passed the course on Saturday. Coincidentally, WWIII probably started that day too. Have been trying to read as both escape and reward since yesterday. AO3 is down. Over and over. And now indefinitely.

they're trying to kill my beautiful wife (ao3) but the doctors (volunteers) in the ER are doing everything they can.. come home wife .... the kids miss you........

Also yes I am aware of the news and I simply cannot be engaged with it on this website along with all the other places I am engaged with it. I'm tired and trying really hard to do my best to live.

Who just passed the final exam for the real estate licensing course? It's ya girl! One more exam (the state licensing one) to go, and I am legally allowed to help people do real estate things in Maryland!

*sad trombone*

"Do you want to smoke weed and watch the Olympic events on demand?" "Yeah but like. Not the men. I can't get all excited about some dude rn." *five minutes later* "Okay EXCEPT FOR THIS KAZAKHSTANI SKATER BOoooyyyyyYYY"

We were supposed to go to a birthday party a good 30 minutes away from home tonight, and that got cancelled due to to weather. As a result, we have turned Sunday into the perfect mix of doing things and doing nothing. I cleaned my makeup brushes. I finally unpacked the last bedroom box.

Anyone in the 21214 or 21234 zips of #Baltimore - I heard that people out and about have just seen 🧊 activity on Harford. Last I heard, near the Safeway. Stay safe.

So Bree hinted at this story a few days ago, but I want to circle back now that I have permission to share it. WHISTLES OUT: A WHISTLE CREW MYSTERY

Well. I assumed they were ready for it, since they are the ages my brother and I were when we saw it 6+ times in theaters. But the sinking sent my oldest into a spiral and we had to pause so she could sob about all the people who were about to die and then she refused to finish it.

We have the kids tonight, so Valentine’s Day has been pizza and showing them Titanic for the first time. It rules.

We just got home from trivia Alex: do you want another glass of wine? Me: well so, but I got a little high on be walk home, so. But also another wine could be nice? Alex: okay so you do want a glass of wine. Me: I mean maybe.

Perfect. No notes.

A rare weeknight without kids in the house. I’ve been in the bath with ice water and a Negroni on the side, reading and listening to this banger playlist. Unbeatable. (It is not currently Thursday but I saved this daylist because it’s great and the title is funny)

"God Bless America:" then he lists most of the countries in the hemisphere starting with Chile I think? this rules

I found my wedding dresssssss 💃

After 20 years, my darling girl has left me to figure it all out on my own.

LAMARCA CHEESE/PASTA 3rd&22ndish, NYC, 2005. Pint of pasta for $7. Pesto with heavy cream, atop gnocchi. OR, fusilli with aurora sauce topped with smoked mozzarella. One grilled chicken thigh on the side. All I'd eat all day long. The thing a friend could wave under my nose, wake me from the dead.
