Please don’t. I have a lot to do this week and I’ll have to drop it all to protest this loser all day/night. Plus, the world is running out of inflatable frogs.

President Trump said he has “unquestioned power” under the Insurrection Act to deploy the National Guard and indicated San Francisco will be the next city to face federal intervention.

This is the way. I sleep alone but it’s still the way.

Johns Hopkins is doing a study on the effects of psilocybin on lower back pain and depression and a more perfect study catered to my needs has never existed.

“Blah,” said Toad.

UCSF has a newsletter highlighting our scientific studies. A few weeks ago I was bummed to read that cannabis use, even if ingested and not smoked, is bad for the heart. This week the headline is basically “Microdose LSD!” 🫡

He’s just so damn handsome!

I have one more #DowntonAbbey film to watch but I watched the #LilithFair documentary tonight and, between that and Old Lady Grantham’s death, I can’t spare any more tears for a few days. I’m going to finish bingeing #TheStudio to get back my equilibrium.

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

#DowntonAbbey #ANewEra Mr Barrow has a Hollywood boyfriend! Mr Barrow has a Hollywood boyfriend! Mr Barrow has a Hollywood boyfriend! (I haven’t finished the movie, no spoilers!) This is an all Barrow fan account now.

Happy Yankees Elimination Day to all who celebrate

#DowntonAbbey the motion picture (2019) Mr Barrow got a boyfriend! Mr Barrow got a boyfriend! Mr Barrow got a boyfriend!

My school basically told us all today to embrace AI or else so I guess look forward to a lot more em dashes in my emails? I feel like I’m hiring the robot who will replace me.

My new reaction to extremely serious situations:

Catching up on #DowntonAbbey s6 - after that racing car accident, is Mary going to swear off of cars forever? She’ll just become a full-time horsewoman?

Squeezing my eyes together as my ride share runs a red light, as if that will soften the impact of a good t-bone. 😣

I used to walk 7+ miles every day, mon - fri. Now I feel like I need to train for @hardlystrictly.bsky.social

The number of pairs of (straight-presenting) dudes in their 60s here at Hardly Strictly leads to a causation/correlation question: can bluegrass cure the male loneliness epidemic?

I finished a shitty book last night, because I’m a completionist, then immediately searched for reviews and everyone loved it. So now I’m wondering…do they read shitty books and this was the best of the worst or am I a hater?

What do we we blame impatience, irritability, and general go-fuck-yourself moodiness on if we can’t blame it on PMS? I’m on HRT so I don’t know if I can blame it on #perimenopause itself or just the fact that my world is full of idiots and dumbshittery.

Look at this impotent piece of shit in my text messages. No, there’s nothing you can do for my money or my support, you quivering old ghost.

I have one fruit fly in my apartment that is mocking me. All of his brethren have fallen for the vinegar-in-a-plastic-wrap-covered-cup trick but this motherfucker continues to live and yet I no longer have fruit nor compost. What is he living off of?! Hubris.

[at my second rodeo] listen up you ignorant sack of shit

#90dayfiance #happilyeverafter I never understand Libby. She seems to have normal reactions to things and I usually agree with her in those moments but she ALWAYS lets Andrei off the hook. Like why even bother being mad if you’re gonna let him do whatever he wants?

#90dayfiancetheotherway #90dayfiance Take a drink every time Chloe references cheerleading or calls her BF a pirate.

#90dayfiancetheotherway #90dayfiance Greta more emotional about leaving Hazel the cat than some of these bitches were about leaving actual children behind.

#90dayfiancetheotherway #90dayfiance Did Luke really just call Frazier Park, CA “the hills above Los Angeles” when he lives outside of Bakersfield?!

Is…is this the first time my major depressive disorder has been a *benefit* to my life…?! 🥹

#DowntonAbbey Sorry for this season 5 throwback…but I strive for the calm Cora has when, after her husband finds her in her bedclothes alone in her bedroom with “that despicable art dealer” and the 2 men have an angry tussle, she exclaims “Golly, what a night.” 🤣

#90DayFiance #happilyeverafter “Nobody fights at a launch party!” - Yara

#90DayFiance #happilyeverafter I feel like, if couples counseling were more financially accessible, or even required of K1 couples, we wouldn’t have this show. Like, all of these issues could be worked out with mediated communication and it’s hard to watch them struggle without it.

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

How do I prepare to host 4 people in my little apartment while I’m actually out of town? I guess it’s like an Airbnb situation for people I know. So…clean towels and a fridge full of beer? I’m not even sure I have enough blankets but SF summer is beginning so I may be okay.

#90DayFiance #happilyeverafter Yara has a launch party but only brings gifts to fit 3 lb. dogs, meanwhile, she’s playing tattle tell to Elizabeth and is surprised when it all blows up?! And nobody is adult enough to stay calm in public because the producers are encouraging this nonsense.

Can I get to Inbox Zero by the end of September? I have 10,888 emails to file. Let’s find out.

Yay, have a meeting next week finally to talk about what my job is now. In related news, I finally found the power supply for my personal laptop so I can update my resume.

Procrastination pays! I kept holding off ordering my new travel bag from @portlandgear.bsky.social and now my preferred color is back in stock! Just in time for my trip later this month. Can’t wait!

Eek, that big fault off Oregon is getting antsy.

Leg braces - $20-$30k, I’ve had at LEAST 6 leg braces. Wheelchairs - $5k for manual with no bells and whistles, I’ve had 2 Medications - anywhere between $100-$2000 /month pending health issues Surgeries - 19 surgeries $40k to - $1m inc. hospital stays I had polio. This is the cost.

Alright, binging 2 seasons and a movie of Downton Abbey so I can see the new movie with a friend. Then maybe I can catch up with Gilded Age and my favorite Carrie Coon. 😻

YA THINK?!

Gap just dropped a follow up TT viral post and I’m doing my part. @lastdivebar.bsky.social

Apparently I never watched the 3rd season of Santa Clarita Diet (or if I did, I have completely blacked it out of my mind). So that’s my current binge watch, post The Good Place. Glad I decided on a total rewatch or I wouldn’t have realized!

Ending week 3 of not knowing what team I’m on or what my job responsibilities are since the re-org. Another week over of “It will be announced by Friday”. Meanwhile orientations and applications go live in 10 days.

My claim to fame when I finally quit this job is that I began a student orientation with a 9-image slide titled “Which opposum are you this morning?” that is now the thumbnail forever and ever of the class of 2025-28.

There’s a 60ish woman in my ‘hood with lots of Botox and always carrying a mini yorkie who shops at my local indie market. She’s obviously nouveau riche and suffering from main character syndrome and she used to annoy me but now I secretly love her.

Here’s my shoutout to my union (UAW) at University of California this week (1/2): FYI UAW is autoworkers and also largest union for higher ed. - my union is bargaining our first contract 🎉 - the research peeps right behind us just voted 83% (‼️) to unionize

Finished The Good Place for the first time and was not expecting to do that much sobbing on the last episode.

American Eagle (accidentally?) promoted eugenics in their Sydney Sweeney ad and Gap just kicked their corpse into the grave with their Katseye collab ad including ingeniously inspired choreography starring multiple POC.
