Well, I'm once again kicking myself for not having taken the exam when I FUCKING GRADUATED coz look who just entered the chat...

How do I perform a factory reset on my dog? #Shepsky #Rescue #Hallllp

Will it actually do any good or is this more performative indignity in the face of the increased level of authoritarianism given that Constitutional checks and balances seem to have gone out of the window with this SCOTUS?

Dear my neighbor . . . It's not that I don't like Fleetwood Mac, but when I'm trying to reconcile budgets, to suddenly have "One Winged Dove" blasting through my house is a bit . . . no, actually a LOT unnerving. We've talked about how you have to forget my Bluetooth. What gives?

Ya'll can handle your Messiah (pun intended), but if you want REAL Christmas music, it's Benjamin Britten's Ceremony of Carols, and that's a twee hill on which I'm willing to die.

Don't you dare come for Dolly.

Just voice tested for another choir, and was informed I have both a "nice tone" and an "impressive range." It's been SO long since I've been willing to sing; being now accepted into two choirs (and winning broadway karaoke on the cruise) has been a LOT for me - getting back to who I am.

So we are all saving a screenshot of THAT POST for when THAT DAY comes and we are being told that we need to respect the dead, right?

Like the baseball stat is fantastic, but can we talk about the fact THAT MARY POPPINS' UMBRELLA IS HIS CANE????

So, #Android doesn't have a built in voice memo app the way iPhone does, and I had to record myself singing for the choir I'm in . . . I made the mistake of installing the first one to come up on the #GooglePlay store, I have now had to sit through FIVE FUCKING MINUTES of some game ad

‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens https://theonion.com/no-way-to-prevent-this-says-only-nation-where-this-regularly-happens-3/

a pathetic excuse for a man whose existence is a continual affront to everything good in this world.

So, I was privileged enough to see Rob Reiner's panel at SDCC this summer. If you think I haven't been crying off and on all day, you'd be sorely mistaken. In the most 2025 thing ever, he got a question about AI, and I will forever love his answer.

So lemme get this straight - two mass shootings on two different continents in less than 24 hours. This is truly the worst timeline. I'm gonna make a donation to @giffords.org and @studentsdemand.bsky.social but what's a good Australian group - or maybe should it be group that fights antisemitism?

Wow! Now there’s a stat!

There's a time for pragmatism, and there's a time to take a stand. And if you try to be liked by everybody you're going to be liked by nobody. (If you think know what this is about, you don't . . . it's directed to a former professor and an alumni battle, BUT it's actually pretty good advice)

Every time I go to the orthopedist, they're showing #AmericanNinjaWarrior it's like they're looking for repeat customers.

It's a Wonderful Life - one man's bold stand against capitalism and oligarchy.

My local Maryland #Wegmans has made A CHOICE.

Also, I've talked around my ED for a bit, but I'm going to start to be more open about it - but please let me know if I ever cross the line between awareness and triggering.

As a recovering anorexic in the Federal Workforce, I have a question for #DrOz exactly how much less would you like me to eat? www.wired.com/story/dr-oz-...

Cool dad, Chad would like me to know that I'm mentally strong enough to pass the bar exam. Cool Dad, Chad would like me to know that my thoughts impact the atoms in my body. I wonder if Cool Dad, Chad is aware of what thoughts his vibes are provoking. "hashtag, not tonight, Satan" #Barbri

I've got a little guide for you for when it's okay to talk about the changes someone's body's gone through. You ready, cuz it's a tough one: NEVER

I have watched this no fewer than five times in a row.

Did I just buy the dogs college-themed collars? Maybe... Do they have anything to do with where we live or any of the schools we attended? Of course not. Are they appropriate to them? 💯

My decision to retire from most social media is backfiring right now, because far too many companies aren't on Bsky, and much as I wanted to laud Kohler yesterday, there's another one I want to put on blast today and MAYBE just MAYBE get better customer service than I can from email.

i am still losing my mind at this

Uh-oh, another rant incoming . . . I live in what can be considered an exurb of either Washington, DC or Baltimore (Frederick, MD). It's actually the second largest city in MD, but somehow still has a small-town feel, and also it's own culture.

I was privileged enough to work in Adm. Levine's office on my PMF rotation. I knew she was trans, but to me that just made her more awesome--I'm serving under someone authentic, determined, and tenacious--isn't that what we want in FedGov? www.npr.org/sections/sho...

This is a praise . . . not a vent. Our house is less than two years old. MY TOILET CRACKED. (I wish I were kidding; I'll put the photo in the thread). But because it's >1 year I thought I was SOL (no pun intended). As a last ditch effort, I contacted #Kohler THEY'RE SHIPPING A NEW TOILET

Doing war crimes the right way

Friends, I went to a memorial service for a former coworker today, and I can't stop thinking about it. I was already sad at her passing; she was a lovely person. A devoted aunt, a quite professional who also had a wry sense of humor, and someone who truly deserved better than fate dealt.

Two things. 1) Some puppy isn't a puppy any more? 2) is it normal for a dog's tail to be as long as its legs?

Not to brag, but I'm in the 95th percentile for #Kiva loans this year. (though that I'd have to loan at least $200 more to reach the 96th percentile says something about the 5% above me, and GOOD for them)

That felt good.

Okay, be honest . . . were we lied to by the rescue. Did we actually accidentally adopt a baby seal?

Watching #RevolutionaryWar and two thoughts. @pbs.org might wanna reword how the "brought to you by" and "funded by" intros come across... "The Revolutionary War was funded by VIEWERS LIKE YOU!" Really, REALLY??!

Apparently, I need to take a study break. (He's going to be A YEAR OLD on Monday)

I hope the new pope bob trend becomes giving him vaguely threatening sports equipment instead of jerseys. pope bob with nunchucks pope bob with an epee pope bob with a javelin

Can you imagine what it'd be like to live without shame...

Dear autocorrect: Just as I never mean ducks, I also never mean "digs" . . . it's OBVIOUSLY dogs . . . OBVIOUSLY.

Someone talk me out of hitting return.

BREAKING via @jeremyfaust.bsky.social: The CDC's internal email server now lists Louisiana physician Ralph Lee Abraham, MD, as the agency's principal deputy director -- "an irresponsible choice," according to one public health expert. www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/faus...

For everyone traveling, a reminder to masks up and avoid spending your holidays sick. 😷✈️🦃

No seriously, I have had to send STOP texts to FIVE different people randomly asking me for money. And I'm sure they got my number from either @actblueorg.bsky.social or @democrats.org This is--for lack of a better term--bullshit. Is there a mass "opt out" option. Donating to one=\\=ALL

Question - Are there any websites specifically dedicated to cooking with a #PostCovid palate? I am currently going through about a bottle of sriracha a month, not to mention eating jalapenos straight from the jar just to actually get ANY flavor . . .

Wordle isn't a word game. It's a pattern recognition game. (And that's why I'm so much better at it than Threads).

When I said I wanted to do science when I grew up, I guess I should've been more specific. Test subject in 2025's answer to the Stanford Prison Experiment wasn't the kind of "science" I had in mind.

ISTFG If I don't stop getting added to every single unrelated democratic or progressive text and email list without my permission, I'm never donating another red cent (and they've stopped minting them) to any candidate again. Looking at you @actblueorg.bsky.social and you @democrats.org
