I can’t believe I haven’t seen this yet about casting for the Louvre jewel heist investigation.

Today has been a total wash, my only activities have been hydrating and stretching. I know I have a shitty autoimmune disease, but how does playing a few hours of violin two days in a row wreck my entire shit? I’m sitting the whole time. I’m sitting like a cooked shrimp, but still, sitting.

If we make it illegal to steal paintings from the Louvre then the entire industry will be unsustainable

The economy is pretty rough now, so if you saw someone steal gems from the Louvre NO YOU DIDN’T

I used to be jealous of the girls at dance recitals because they could dance so well, but now I’m just jealous that they can get up from the floor so quickly.

I would laugh if this wasn't so true 😭

I usually don’t sit to the outside for symphony, so hope the audience enjoys watching me fight for my life through Harry Potter.

Tell your mom to shut the fuck up.

We went to a parade today, and all the tiniest kids in the various marching bands were trombone players. Your instrument is larger than you, what’s going on here?

My five year old starts nearly every sentence to me with “may I tell you something?” It’s very cute and overly formal.

It is impossible to have a mass movement without cringe, because the masses are cringe. You have to not think you’re better than everyone else to be a part of a mass movement. Cool is inherently exclusionary, you can’t win mass politics with cool.

I don’t blink enough when I’m playing difficult music on the violin and it’s a problem. I look like I’m incredibly moved by the music, but I just haven’t blinked in two and a half minutes and oh no now it’s all blurry.

Friends, if you haven’t been to a normie protest before, please don’t let some nutters on the internet worry you that you’re going to be tear gassed and beaten, it will be fine. By all means be reasonably cautious, but this is not a black bloc event okay? It’s fine.

I went to a lecture where a guy said that any teacher that can be replaced by a computer should be. People got big mad about it, but if chat gpt is a better teacher than you, it would seem you’ve chosen the wrong profession.

TUCKER & DALE VS EVIL (2010) is streaming free with ads on Tubi and it is FUN.

Chronically ill friends: do you generally go with an HMO or PPO for insurance? Do you have advice on which one works better for you?

I bought a Mothman costume for Halloween, and my husband does not know what Mothman is. I made him google it.

The last time I went on a first date I was not old enough to drink. I barely had a driver’s license. So when my grown up friends ask for advice about grown up dating I am absolutely zero help. Maybe take them to the Dairy Queen?

I have contributed to spooky season. The outdoor lights are also orange, that’s all I got, folks.

A friend was surprised I’ve been to multiple protests, and I said “I sang an Ani DiFranco song on a public access show in high school, how are you surprised I go to protests?”

I wanted to make my wedding photography gallery look more cohesive, which sounds like a good idea, but means that I’m going back through old galleries to re-edit them and entirely rebuilding my portfolio. www.carolinemoorephotography.com/wedding-gall...

I cleaned the studio. Please clap.

Antifa is a weird word to say out loud anyway, I’ve only ever shortened it to antifash because I hard other punk kids say that. But yeah, this is very much like continuing to use “pro-life,” it’s their word and their framing.

My kids are pretty much constantly up my ass, so the 5 year old saw me scroll post a drawing of a frog that said “fuck ice” and he’s like “why does it say that?” So we had an age appropriate convo about why they’re an organization that shouldn’t exist and deserves no one’s respect.

While providing tech support for my FIL: FIL: What's that screen? ME: The terminal. You should never use it. FIL: Never? ME: So you know how I'm allowed to watch you open the electrical panel and swap out breakers, but I'm not allowed to ever open up it myself? FIL: Ah! I understand, thank you.

Ten year old decided to be a praying mantis this year for Halloween, and I found this absolutely horrifying mask for him.

I was dicking around on TikTok and when my husband walked in, I told him I was working, because I have to social media for work. He implied I was dicking around, and I said “I’m crushing KPIs in here” and he told me to “get the fuck out of his house with that.”

I have some really specific amnesia wherein I forgot that I have autoimmune problems. Not like, “oh I’m just so symptom-free I hardly noticed,” it’s more like “why am I so dizzy, what’s happening?” You got your autonomic nervous system on temu, babe, that’s what’s happening.

In 2020, the best purchase we made as far as increasing our quality of life was bikes for the whole family. This year, it is comfy chairs and tiki torches so that we can porch sit in the evenings.

I pass this every week driving to orchestra practice, and it usually has a Volkswagen Beetle on it. But for the last month or so, it’s been a boat.

It’s The Process of Belief

It’s been a bit since I’ve photographed a traditional wedding, but man watching folks go ham on the dance floor to Party Rock has not lost its charm.

The kids are really into Haunted Hotel even though it’s uh… not really for children. Oops. We like Abbadon the best.

No one loves AI slop as much as trump does. It’s really something. Put his face in a nonsense video and he’s gonna repost it.

I’ve been running the photography business since 2007, and this might be the very first year I’ve ever been in the red on it. Even Covid year.

"That’s the value of shame. Of guilt. Those emotions guide your inner being, compelling you to do the right thing even if you don’t want to. But the most visible people in this country are now saying their better angels are nothing more than a drag on the P&L sheet." defector.com/whats-a-doll...

I did confetti session promos with my dudes and they had the best time. My studio is a wreck, but I’m doing more of these sessions on October 26th anyway. If you’re also south of pittsburgh ish, www.carolinemoorephotography.com/confetti

Nosey nosey

Shot a wedding at Nemacolin Castle today.

Just googling where my meds are produced, having a real normal one.

Going back on the Xeljanz, which sounds like an alien overlord.

Not feeling great today, think I’m gonna call in raptured.

Behold, the nicest my hair will look until the next time a professional does it.

I’m so glad The Cheat is not dead www.instagram.com/stories/caro...

I *also* have access to a printer.

Apparently, at my uncle John’s wedding, both of my grandmas were sitting on the porch with their dresses pulled up in their laps, drinking Thunderbird out of coffee cups. One of them weeping “I can’t believe he married that whore.”

Ten year old looking at a cool train: “well snicker my doodles.”

this is fucking SICK (complimentary)
