There will never be a general strike in the US like France or Italy because millions are one unexcused absence from being fired and one firing away from being homeless. Nobody in Europe gets fired, evicted, or loses their health insurance if they strike, so don't blame people here for not doing it.

Welp, looks like it is not gonna really be worth it to go to my graduation in May. Why in the hell is Boston so expensive?!

It doesn't take almost 25 minutes to say "because cults thrive when there are fewer people around to oppress them."

I love all these fitness bloggers telling you “eat at least 63 grams of protein a day!” or “be sure to get at least 35 grams of fiber!” And then tell you to keep it all under 1800 calories. I’m sorry, but I’m not eating three cans of tuna a day.

Gonna try and actually do this. 1 photo a day, chosen randomly from my own photos, all taken in the last 25 years. #thelast25. If neighboring photos provide context, I'll add those too. Today: 1. #14193. Dec 22, 2018. Ennex and Cooper play in our place on Foster Ave. in Chicago.

I’m putting it on the record now that Scott Adams is a horrid piece of shit so when he dies you know my opinion didn’t change simply because he’s dead.

Sure, iPad, I’m just a “Pet friend”. 🐶

A Year of Sophie Month-by-month January-April

Well, fuck my life and happy New Year’s to me I guess.

Just had a mild panic attack while doomscrolling TikToks when my brain suddenly reminded me I graduate in May and still have like 50+ pages of a thesis to write.

Well I’m glad I never had to take a course with this clown.

I don’t know or care who Roma Daravi is, but fuck them.

Quote this with what you accomplished in 2025 no matter how small. I fully planned and scheduled a 3 week trip for me and 4 of my friends to Amsterdam; Cologne, Hamburg, and Berlin Germany; Switzerland, and Stockholm.

LOL, ok sure, Dick Wolf.

Was just reminded of a conversation w/ my composition professor in grad school when he complained about lack of range in my piano works: AK: Do you have a piano? Me: Yes AK: Did you buy this piano yourself?" Me: Yes AK: Well, you bought all 88 keys. Please use them.

Today is one of those days it was pointless to get out of bed, really. Can it be Spring now?

5 friends visit 4 Kölsch pubs.

Some favorite dining from 2025

Hi it’s me Tater and I was in Sweden a few years ago and I wanna be back there soon!

Some favorite travel moments from 2025

It's the dog park With all the dogs there And the people you see that you don't really know, 'cause it's the dog park

Boy, I used to really like to make pizzas. That was a fun time in neurodivergent hyperfixation.

You know what, I know my 73 year old mom is pretty good at, but can't always tell if something is AI. But I have to give her credit, because when she shows me a video, and I say, "Mom, this is AI," she says "ok" and accepts my judgement without question instead of arguing how it could be real.

Christmas dinner ♥️

The recipe for our Christmas turkey specifically says to "play video games." But I have to work on arranging music, so I guess the meal is ruined!

If you're cold, they're cold :( W/ @matchwolf.bsky.social Merry Christmas 🎄🌟 #furry #christmas #fursuit #operafurry #furrycommunity

These TurboTax YouTube ads have to stop. I don't even file my taxes.

Merry Christmas!

You will be visited by three spirits… The spirits:

Some cooking goals for the new year: - Eat more plants as food - Start fermenting plants for food - Grow some plants for food - Shop farmers' markets; eat more seasonably - Prep freezer meals for days I don't want to cook - Make a dish from the cuisine of every UN country + Palestine, and Taiwan

Is he dead yet?

Some of my Christmas trees over the past 20 years.

I am kind to alpacas.

Pantone just updated their Color Of The Year

So. Good.

This might be the largest bay leaf I’ve ever seen.

And I get to completely breakdown and skin a turkey!
