Blog Post: Poem--"Take a Chance" Half-way through Poetry Month and the terrible poetry. You're doing good! You can make it! kikiwritesabout.com/2026/04/14/p...

If you're having a bad morning, just know that one of the local coffee spots in town is out of espresso.

Look man, you’re always gonna get children in mines or old people DoorDashing to pay for cancer treatments under capitalism. There is no fix for this that doesn’t include abolishing capitalism and class-based society.

A walk-off win. Can you dig it???

I beg your pardon. Did the Cubs just come back to tie this game? What in the world?

The one day this weekend that I can watch the Cubs game and I get...this.

Hi y'all. I hate asking this since I've been so quiet here lately, but my mom has a hold on her bank account due to a fraud issue that's being dealt with, and I could really use some help with grocery money. Any amount is appreciated, and sharing this post helps too. #MutualAid #HelpSky 💸💕

No one cares that you can drive stick.

Just found out that a favorite patron passed away. The woman was an absolute hoot and brightened my day every time she came in. I know you're giving them hell on the other side of the horizon now, Dicksie. See you later.

Shout out to the doofus who decided the cones blocking off my street so the city can take down a tree didn't apply to him and just drove through them like this is the only street that exists. Quality work, you fail child.

I actually just finished reading this! Quite good. Definitely recommend.

Fun fact! My library had two programs (one for adults and one for teens) to bedazzle their books. Our youth services manager inadvertently turned a character into Elton John. It was amazing.

Alas, alack. Better luck next time, Cubs.

Well, isn't this shaping up to be a fun little fake rally.

My kingdom for a bullpen.

Ian Happ decided to atone for his previous at bat sins.

Obligatory post.

Proud to have an essay in @vinsyn.bsky.social's upcoming TROLL 2 4K release. Everyone gets to have fun!

46 years old and Grandma is still having me text her when I get home and Grandpa is still trying to give me gas money. May that always be the case.

I saw a woman in a Jack Daniels sweatshirt load an ungodly number of Mountain Dew 24 packs into her car. I think I know what the Easter Bunny is bringing her family.

During a rant, my father referred to Trump's ballroom as "Trump's dance hall" and this is the only thing I will call it going forward, thank you.

Blog Post: Poem--"Daylight Savings Swindle" It's National Poetry Month and that means terrible poetry all month long! kikiwritesabout.com/2026/04/01/p...

It's chemo week. Listening to people chat in the waiting room is fascinating. This woman's meandering tale about getting a new cat included how her husband's father was struck by lighting and killed while coming in from the field and how they lived in Alaska after they got married.

There was clogging at this wedding reception, I just know it.

you should treat a trans person today

I kinda feel bad for the Angels. They are the fish in the barrel everybody is shooting at.

People come up with complicated reasons why art/music scenes are less vibrant now but it is like 90% just this

Just like that, back to back jacks.

Don't mind me. Just looking up how to regulate my nervous system.

Episode 84 of Book 'em, Danno is live! Take a break from the horrors and listen to me ramble about Five-O taking on a computer genius (1975 edition) and a trio of lady bandits. We love to see women in a male dominated field. akakikiwrites.com/2026/03/27/b...

According to the two cats hiding under my bed, this storm is far too thundery.

I have to go to work. If the Cubs want to find a way to pull this one out of their ass, I would not be opposed.

Season over. Try again next year. *for legal purposes, this is a joke*

Happy Opening Day to those who celebrate! Go Cubs Go and all that.

What the fuck? I just assumed NetFlix would drop the whole MLB season at once so we could binge it.

I have the Opening Night game on, but I don't have the sound on. I got distracted during the bottom of the first, so imagine my surprise when I look at the TV, it's now the top of the second and the Yankees are up 5. Maybe I should turn the sound on.

Everyone complaining about baseball people on here or who thinks they hate baseball, trust me: no one hates baseball more than the people who love it except for the people who own and/or run the MLB and its broadcasting.

No. Your childhood nostalgia does not matter more than the lives of real people. And frankly I'm fucking tired of having to pretend that isnt a fucking insane thing to say in response to "please don't support the hate monger lady's soggy, reheated nachos"

My library director insisted on getting Zombeavers and Slaxx, so yeah, we couldn't critique your taste even if we were allowed to.

One of my best good friends, a middle-aged mom of three, is spending her Saturday picking off children in laser tag and I couldn't be happier for her.

I'm on the patio with a beer and I'll be here all weekend (except for my library shift) if you need me.

I know I'm late, but still, may your brackets be blessed during this stressful time.

Unpredictable weather? Why not prepare for those sudden bursts of rain or cold with one of our horror-themed caps and beanies! We've got plenty of designs including Scream, Friday the 13th, or Halloween, and we're always adding more too, so check us out: www.thenastypasty.com/shop/p/custo...

The number of coworkers who wore green today just tickled me. We have fun.

It's 23 degrees, the feels like is 7, the wind is gusting like 40 miles an hour, and I saw a guy in a sweatshirt, jeans, and sandals, no socks. Never change cornfield.

For those who want to help on a smaller scale, I'm also still taking donations to pay off the electric bill and groceries. I only need another $250 to finish that debt off. #mutualaid #helpsky Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/missmelbouvier PayPal: paypal.me/melbouvier CashApp: cash.app/$missmelbouvier

My timeline is full of Oscars and wrestling and I'm not current enough on the names in either industry to not get confused at first glance.

Overall, I have no interest in the Oscars, but what do you mean Delroy Lindo didn't win? He is always wonderful in everything.
