Happy tax season to all

They're really saying the quiet part out loud now . . . I did Nazi (um, not see) that coming. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/u...

Quick note that Monday's surgery went well. Sleeping a lot, mostly dealing with the pain, and first post op is this morning (really struggling with whether to put on real clothes or just show up in my PJs as I don't want to change twice)

Look if you come rushing through the neighborhood dressed like Santa cosplaying as a Hell's Angel on a motorcycle with a muffler that's actually an amplifier I AM going to give you a mom stare and then yell "sorry your penis is so small." And if that hurt, well, sorry your penis is so small.

Feeling suddenly nostalgic for my those that never had a GenX childhood growing up with Wizard of Oz and Sound of Music on the networks at every major holiday . . .

I absolutely LOVE driving by the #McCormick factory. Always roll my windows down. Am also very much team #OldBay goes on everything. Gonna have to add an asterisk . . . much as I love all my Maryland spices, struggle to see how they'd go in my pits. Truly baffled. www.thebanner.com/economy/mcco...

I’ve watched a lot of 1940s movies and seen a lot of 1940s fashion trends but WTF Bette Davis?! (from JUNE BRIDE, 1948)

No key. No X-Axis. What, exactly, am I supposed to get from this graph, #FNP #FrederickNewsPost

hey, @netflix.com y'know what'd be super awesome? If I didn't have to scroll down about 18 billionty times just to get to either "my list" or "continue watching." Why screw with what worked?

To summarize, Trump has offered asylum to Iran’s women’s soccer team and death to its men’s.

This is how much junk mail I've gotten for the Democratic Congressional race in Maryland 6th. Also David Trone is a sexist pig who thinks he's entitled to the seat and there's not a chance I'm voting for him in the primary. Good news is. I have an art project planned for all this waste of trees.

Y'know, I really hate being all micromanagy with my #instacart shoppers . . . and then they go pull some bullshit like substituting banana chips for plantain chips, and I realize I can't rely on common sense.

I need to know exactly what kind of shenanigans are going on at Spanky's

In my next life, hell--in THIS LIFE--, I want to be a naked mole rat. theoatmeal.com/comics/naked...

Just saw a rat trap labeled "owl pellet prevention" and if that's not the grossest thing ever... (Unless the sticker was put there on purpose in which case: Slow Clap)

So... I've been kinda listening to a list of my favorite history podcasts as I study. Two had things that pulled me out of my focus (in a good way) Thread to follow.

Just to scream into the void that after a REALLY EXCRUCIATING LONG DAY, I was hoping to chill and watch some hotel TV, but #MARRIOTT (I only wish I could @ them) has apparently enabled #MotionSmoothing by default and then DISABLED my ability to turn that off on their remotes. I'm DYING here.

Remember the 90s . . . like how all the hippie college kids had the white girl/guy dreads - and wore those woven hoodies and used the salt block deodorant so entire wings of the dorm smelled like rancid sweat and skunk weed . . . those were good times, man. Those were really good times.

Meanwhile, what did I do to make the algorithm think this is something I'd want from Etsy, and I think I'm cursed now. How do I reverse it?

I just submitted the pet insurance claim for Camden's visit yesterday . . . and was re-reading the policy. Apparently they cover one spay/neuter per dog per year. Is there something I'm missing???

Not once, in the million times he’s been asked about Epstein, has Trump said something like “it’s a terrible thing that happened, all those rapes” it’s always just “I didn’t do it.” Just like it’s never “I’m not a rapist” it’s always “she’s not my type.”

This is the level of pureness I needed in my life today.

Camden has broken the fifth bone in her foot. (Who had that on the bingo card of how can my life be made more chaotic?) Adley is holding vigil.

So . . . I got my bloodwork back from my Rheum . . . on the one hand, I have a name - and in fact a single gene for all the things I've been going through. Also have a Swiss Army doctor rather than going to an orthopedist, ophthalmologist, gastrologist, and dermatologist.

In the epitome of not having enough spoons, I'm just out here with a preemptive apology. I'm studying for the bar. I'm trying to schedule surgery coz the bones in my foot never fused I got some work-related news that sent me on the WORST spiral. I'm still trying to be a good dog mom.

Please click through to the follow-up on this . . . I wanted to re-skeet that but I think the context matters more.

Professors and university presidents are often eager to raise outside cash. Some are now facing blowback after connecting with Jeffrey Epstein. “Sometimes," a former Vanderbilt chancellor said, “these things are just like airline crash cases that could be prevented." nyti.ms/4aFH9nr

The John "K" Kennedy Center. . . Hey, @thebaltimorebanner.com I used to be a technical writer and editor before I got into project management. If you need a freelance copy editor look me up.

Not me setting my self worth on how well I perform on the damned @linkedin.com puzzles

Had a moment today to realize just how many people I have in my corner (honestly too many to call out). You're seen, and thank you.

Pickleball - really, REALLY more important than the Epstein files (this is what I found FOUR SCROLLS down - and yet nothing about Epstein)

How is King Cake more important than the Epstein Files?

Interesting and relevant. Yet I notice that none of your headlines today have had anything to do with Epstein.

It's so hard to know how to feel some times. But I want to say that I had an amazing experience at my community's lunar new year's, yesterday. My biggest frustration is that by the time we arrived (only 15 minutes after it started) all 8 handicapped spots were taken (only ONE legitimately)

Sometimes I get a little upset when I live in a collapsing dystopia for many years

Hey, what's going on with the Epstein files?

The way my #Echo knows I'm an #Orioles fan but for some reason thinks that next Monday is 2/26 . . .

Was legit wondering whether @peoplemagazine.bsky.social was gonna make Lindsey Vonn or Nancy Guthrie their cover story. Not that both aren't Newsworthy, but the EPSTEIN FILES are, y'know still out there. (Not that I actually had that on my list, but it'd be nice to be pleasantly surprised)

I met with my therapist (whom I initially consulted for one very specific issue at the beginning of 2024 and has now had to see me through **handwave** everything . . . and she tried to pivot the discussion back to my initial issue (which has improved SLIGHTLY) and I was just "really, I'M TIRED".

Someone make me get off #Etsy . . . cuz this is way too me.

If anyone needs a serotonin hit, I give you Adley and Camden.

And we've now reached the cringe AI level of super bowl commercials. And the pity is until this moment I actually preferred #Dunkin

I used to be SO ANNOYED by people who were "above" the Super Bowl, but I am now those people. I hate both the teams, I'm ambivalent about the NFL and the bread and circuses of it all, and even the commercials are reductive. This may be my last one.

How it started vs. how it's going 72 lbs heavier and taller than me when he stands on his back legs. Best foster fail ever.

great thread

one thing about the Olympics is that all the athletes in the village are having a phenomenal amount of sex and so I for one think it’s only fair that Vance got to fly his own sofa over

This photo is funnier than it has any business being people.com/hairdresser-...

The only thing that'd be worse would be if it was a Dallas/Patriots game (Seahawks are my 3rd most hated team after Patriots and Dallas) . . . I'm trying to hype myself up for Bad Bunny & the commercials but between my dislike of pugilism and the bread & circuses of it all I'm not feeling tomorrow.

Depressed by the content of bar review rather than the reality of being in bar review
