Work client is a cancer screening org based at a flagship state university. I just scheduled a call for Monday to discuss how much we need to censor ourselves about health equity/disparities. (1) Fuck this racist, sexist, homophobic cockroach-infested hellhole administration. (2) FUCK CANCER.

FUCK CANCER.

The final home run. RIP, Mr. Redford.

Is it OK for a grown-up to play with the FP Little People school bus in the waiting room at the new dentist office, yes/no?

I pre-ordered RF Kuang's KATABASIS as soon as I saw it. I got halfway through and DNFed. I actually returned it, which I never do. It was *awful.*

Job applicant alert! #raygun

GOOD RIDDANCE JONI ERNST, YOU FOUL LOATHSOME EVIL COCKROACH. May your retirement be as miserable as you made us. Fuck off all the way into the sunset. Turn left, then fuck off again.

When your Kong rolls under the table and your ginormous empty head is too big to fit underneath #sad

Last week SWEET CHARITY was on TCM and I have an invasive "HEY Big Spender" earworm and in my head I totally sound like Chita Rivera.

Five years ago.

Can confirm air quality is horrible. What's the shelf life of an asthma inhaler? *wheeze*

Imagine how pleasant it would be to live your life with a completely empty head and every conceivable need supplied at no cost.

One good thing about having a dog with zero brain cells is that he's too dumb to get scared of fireworks.

Random self-centered pet peeve: when I say "eh, haven't seen that movie, not my thing" and the other person INSISTS on describing the entire plot.

You need to read this! Trust me!

just cruising...

Smut is on the rise, but are some possible genres being overlooked?! Why no "T-Shirt Shop Smut" (BTW: we're working on it)? If you have a smut genre you'd like to see, post here! Smut background: www.thecut.com/article/smut...

On the night before his 3000th hit, Tony Gwynn knocked me to the ground* outside Busch Stadium in St. Louis. (*I may or may not be slightly exaggerating this)

Kids down the street have a lemonade stand but no traffic, so they solicited door to door. OF COURSE I said yes and they delivered two larges. ($2 each, plus a big tip)

I communed with nature yesterday.

Thing2 brought these home from work yesterday.

American Daughters is on sale for the first time for less than 2 bucks! Read the story of Black classical music pioneer Portia Washington for Black Music Month! bookshop.org/p/books/amer...

A sarcastic "apology" in a cemetery. Literally standing on people's graves. Jesus is weeping, Joni.

Is anyone else reading Ashley Weaver's Electra McDonnell mystery series? The final book comes out on Tuesday, and I'm going to need someone to hold my hand. If not, START RIGHT NOW. Messy, smartass heroine and repressed military spymaster PUNCHING NAZIS. I guarantee you will love it, just trust me.

Here, you need a cute dumb dog.

I caved and turned off reposts and quote posts. I love you guys, but MY GOD.

I'M GONNA NEED SOMEONE TO HOLD MY HAND

Whenever anyone mentions a horse race:

A long time ago at a previous job, the CEO did an alls-hand call talking about the latest earnings report. One dude hijacked the call with all kinds of nonsense, and the CEO literally said "If you can't understand what I'm telling you, maybe you're not smart enough to work here."

Ok friends, hit me up with your favorite special-interest museums. Like ones dedicated to mustard, salt and pepper shakers, or urology.

Theoretically, I understand why protests are scheduled during on weekdays in state capitols. But I don't understand it as a viable strategy that can actually gain momentum. The logistical barriers put it out of reach for so many people, the messaging can feel insufferably classist and ableist.

Damn, my dog is cute and not at all spoiled. Please reply with yours.

HEY. You need some cuteness in your timeline. Freddy is concerned about your mental health.

My kid who manages the online ordering dept at our grocery store does not think this is funny at all.

Hello, friends. This is Freddy. He's a himbo.
