New adulting goal: Now that I have some living room-type furniture in my overgrown-dorm-room apartment, I’m gonna try inviting one or two people over for pizza and a movie every month. Gonna try having a social life outside of organized group activities. We’ll see how it goes.

the most realistic scene in Jurassic Park is when two scientists make a questionable decision — traveling to an undisclosed location with a strange man — on the promise of three years of modest funding

Making plans to watch the next few episodes of Only Murders in the Building with my sister

This weekend you may choose any two: 1) Heartbreaker 2) Love taker 3) Dream maker But don’t mess around with me

Julie texted me last night to let me know that our cat Khaleesi passed away in her sleep. RIP Mother of Dragons

You had ONE job, Carl!

But “The Night Gwen Stacy Died” also encouraged readers to reflect on the nature of heroism and the masculine stoicism that often informs it. Sometimes heroes fail & villains get away. Sometimes life isn’t fair & superpowers aren’t enough. Sometimes the laws of physics win. 12/12

Why I’m a fan of the Oxford comma.

Happy International Nonbinary Person Day to those who celebrate, those who don’t, and those who are on the spectrum in between.

Happy International Non-Binary People's Day!

Happy International Nonbinary Person Day to those who celebrate, those who don’t, and those who are on the spectrum in between.

Last meeting of the day is over, and now:

“Heeeeeere, yakity yak yak yak! … Come, come, yakity yak yak yak!”

It's hot outside. Remember to water your werewolves

How I feel about customers using the engineering analysis software we’ve sold them.

Had to blow off lunch plans today because my client needed his hand held for 2 hours to accomplish a simple task. Then I had to cancel my planned MeetUp trail hike on Saturday because the delivery window for my sofa is 6am - 8pm. Having a social life is tough.

We all want what Wall-E had, we all want to meet an elegant baddie that is low-key a little scary with it that you can show all your Items to

Got beer, got Rice Krispie rainbow edibles, got glitter on my face, got plans to watch Only Murders in the Building with my sister tonight. Happy fucking birthday, America.

And what do we say to the Balloon Ladies? Not today.

Woke up this morning to a flurry of texts from my boss about a crisis at work. So now instead of going to a MeetUp that I was really looking forward to, I get to spend the holiday at the office. This sucks.

Neil cannot be contained. ✊🏿

Hella fun book. Highly recommended.

Most important item to come out of this morning’s meetings: An anagram of “too many meetings” is “eyeing me ottomans”

Whisper those five little words every girl wants to hear.

Thought I’d made a couple of new friends this weekend. But when I tried following up in I thought was a perfectly appropriate way it was met with a resounding silence, and now I’m feeling self conscious and socially inept. How is this stuff even harder than it was in middle school?

Originalism is just a fancy word for Calvinball

trans rights are human rights and anyone who tells you otherwise is a stone cold bigot fuck SCOTUS and kavanaugh specifically

We have reached the time in Pride where I can't recall whose books I've highlighted and whose I haven't. So, today's queer book rec is not indie: The Last Days of the Dinosaurs, by @restingdinoface.bsky.social! This is a great read about what I'm not allowed to call the KT extinction anymore...

RevJo, my church’s minister, does a lot of short videos explaining our weird little religion with no creed or doctrine. I think this one is my favorite. #UnitarianUniversalism youtube.com/shorts/_yH-o...

My scheming has paid off! My new sofa will be delivered in a couple of weeks 🥳

I’ve hit my limit for the week on talking to people on the phone, but the meeting is still going #IntrovertIssues

Gay Knight Summer 🌈🤺🌞 Happy #Pride Month!

Post a robot that's not from Star Wars or Transformers.

*everyone* That is some stunning art. *reads book title that goes with that art* Wait, WTF?

When the Earth Was Green is out in paperback! Visit dinosaurs munching their way through the Jurassic salad bar, ancient forests oozing with resin, sabercats rolling in catnip, prehistoric primates on a transoceanic journey, and more, all moments when plants changed life on Earth 🌱

OTD in 1979, THE MUPPET MOVIE opened in theaters across the United States. Jim Henson noted (with typical understatement) that its reception was "Great!" and it was one of the most profitable films of the decade. But getting the Muppets to the big screen in the first place was hard work.

Yup. I read it read it wrong.

“Oh, for heaven’s sake, Miss Carlisle! … They’re only cartoon animals!”

‘Lilo & Stitch’ creators Chris Sanders & Dean DeBlois have shared a piece of artwork honoring the late Daveigh Chase. Chase voiced Lilo in the ‘Lilo & Stitch’ film.

Watching this video 10 times has significantly improved my mood.

It's Juneteenth. Post your favorite black fictional character.

And one more goody, just because.

Wearing my new Lego nonbinary earrings at the office today, and several women have complimented them and asked where I got them. So, yay!
