Privilege problem: I recently upgraded to a fancy travel credit card with ✨Lounge access✨ which I’ve been excited about! I’m flying out to visit my parents today & I got here early…to discover that I’m flying out of a terminal that has no lounge & I’d have to go back thru security to get to one

I miss when Windows had a set of little userpics to choose from and you had to figure out how to best express your personality from that closed set of images. Now Windows wants me to upload a photo of my own face? And I'd see it every time I log in?? Too revealing, no thank you

one thing I like is putting a candy cane into a cup of hot chocolate and letting it melt a lil bit and then eating its bones 😋

This was of course referring to yesterday's Mariah Carey Trap which I think was particularly rude to deploy during the Honda-days 😤

I will only vote for politicians who promise to spend $850,000 worth of Fort Knox gold to affix 4 penises & 18 testicles to my lazy daughter so she can win Olympics

I have made 3 guesses on today’s Wordle and I’ve never been more stumped. Is this for sure a word in the English language???? (I’m going to feel very foolish when I see it I’m sure but at the moment it is unclear!!!)

My response to anything over the next two weeks

These people care about nothing, believe in nothing, love nothing. They're soulless, miserable creatures who think money or power is going to fill the gnawing void within them but it never will and we're the ones who are going to pay for it.

Just want to point out how funny/sad it is that the same people who will refuse to refer to a trans woman as "she" have no problem calling ChatGPT "she."

This is potentially devastating for so many families and for so many kids, including people I know and love. I'm just sick at heart over it.

Was very close to fighting someone from another office over a Teams message this morning before looking them and realizing they are about 60. Remembered the below tweet and chose peace instead. Be proud of me.

I fell victim to a classic Connections blunder this morning 😑

you are welcome and thank you for appreciating my cultural foodways!! My Chex Mix recipe is: literally exactly the one on the box of Chex (but with vegan Worcestershire sauce) (the oven method not the microwave one) and I swap out nuts for PLAIN CHEERIOS.

yes I will reveal my SECRETS ingredients: 1 $5 bag of Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers, www.ghirardelli.com/white-vanill... , 1 $1 box of 12 candy canes steps: unwrap the candy canes, put em in a bag & smash em with a hammer melt the wafers mix melted wafer + canes & pour over wax paper

ok actually my biggest takeaway from the Hater's Guide to the Williams-Sonoma catalog is that they are charging ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS for their peppermint bark? I make a big batch of peppermint bark every year with like $3 worth of candy canes and a hammer

The thing is, you can't make trans and intersex people nonexistent, you can only make them suffer.

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

when a poor person uses food stamps for a steak or homeless person spends $5 on a beer, it’s seen as proof that all poor people are so bad with money that they shouldn’t be given any, ever, for any reason. $77 billion out the window, and zuck’s legacy as a safe government contract bet is secure.

If you are in Minnesota, this is specifically for you. If you are not in Minnesota, read it anyway. The grim truth is that you are likely to need this type of information and thinking in the very near future. Talk to your neighbors. Plan ahead.
