You look at every culture that's ever existed and the running theme is everyone pretty much just wants to play/dance to music, make art, eat stewed meat wrapped in flat bread, and tell stories about the shapes we find in the stars. Somehow we turned that into wars and overtime and profit margins.

*clears throat* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I’ve tuned out all those dumb “chat with auto-reply bot here!” buttons floating at the bottom of every single website, so I’m sure you can appreciate my surprise that, on a paid site we use for work, the chat box ACTUALLY LEADS TO A REAL HUMAN OMG

I mean, sure this is a not-great timeline, but there’s single-serving guacamole now, and they are frequently on BOGO at Publix

"You're irrelevant on Bluesky!" m8 I was irrelevant on Twitter where I had 110k followers and frequently got over a million views on my videos. It was still just shitposting on a social media site. Deciding that posting is activism has rotted a lot of brains on all sides.

Smöl Boy saw some of my art and is now doing his own version, & it’s SO CUTE

…I think my Publix rearranged the store, or maybe the app is broken? and I am about to RIOT. My entire grocery list is USELESS.

Sad to report that nothing needed to jump into my cart at HomeGoods :-(

What else do I Need from HomeGoods

Oh! another fun thing about PT: learning that It’s ok to do squats “the wrong way,” bc I cannot lean back to do it “the right way” bc my femur is too long for that and I will, in fact, fall over. Victory!!!

“Cover a cut and keep it moisturized and it will heal better and faster” Idk man, I have had this scratch covered for 5 days and it still looks like shit

Still enjoying the thrill of having a fully working dishwasher again!!! Thanks to a $50 part, YouTube And A Screwdriver, and the Reddit dads.

The anti-vaxx ACIP is using the same strategy as the anti-abortion groups. Small changes that seem insignificant or "common sense" that are actually meant to erode trust, chip away at access, and abolish vaccines. These folks aren't using science to make decisions. They are deliberately ignoring it.

if you are in a professional or personal situation where you cannot fully divest yourself from something being rightly boycotted, you've got an easy out: shut the fuck up. no one asked. you're free. i'm not your priest.

An ongoing gag in the Dragons tv show is that all the Viking babies are hideous, and I am 100% here for it 😹

Huge thanks to the Reddit Dads!!! Did u know there’s a special reset mode on dishwashers!!! I do now, bc Reddit.

…the granite countertop is leveled with load-bearing wood coffee stirs. we take the position that it’s none of our business.

today's post is brought to you by Firefox, which in its latest update will "summarize" pages if you shake your phone and, if you look in your settings under General > Tabs this new hot garbage which I immediately turned off because it was ON BY DEFAULT like it ALWAYS IS when they do this shit

Walgreens is OVER IT. Pharmacy staff is also wearing black t-shirts w/ white text to the effect of “ask me about vaccines today”

More human production happening regardless of machine abilities 😃

 As you might recall I love to sew my own clothes. I also love clothes IN GENERAL, their features, their details. In my efforts to shift to make>buy sometimes I force myself to sketch a piece I really love, to break down WHAT I love

I know it’s been 24 years but “your forgiveness ain’t a neighborhood that I’m looking to live in” is still a great line (cc: @thadjuggernuts.bsky.social) (I am listening to MGB Audio of Being today)

Deer costume, C14th.

Been playing Tetris-ish games at night to recover from bedtime routine parenting 💀

y’all, Quick question: does NY law allow DocuSign on loan documents, promissory notes, guaranties, etc…?

Being married to another lawyer is wild, I was all cozy w/ 💗Muffin, on the couch, playing Zelda; then husband asked me some questions about promissory notes and contract interpretation 😹

Assuming CDC formally adopts ACIP's recommendations, CVS tells me it will provide Covid vaccines without a prescription in all 50 states and won't require even self-attestation of a qualifying condition — "it’s up to the individual patient." No confirmation from Walgreens or Walmart yet.

This is truly the era of “memes come to life”

Question!!! If someone has a brand new FJ for child custody/timesharing, and the other parent HAS ALREADY refused to comply twice in one weekend, do you get the court involved early to establish dominance? (I absolutely would if they were my client! Seeing if others find this normal or overreacting)

The Shake Shack French onion soup burger was EXCELLENT. Truly a feat of food engineering.

I think they should have a parallel show called Stupid Andor that's about all the stuff going on at the same time that would have been too stupid to put in Andor and would have ruined the vibe (Jar Jar stuff, Palpatine meetings) but also a smart person could come up with something interesting about

when I gave Irwin a treat after accidentally kicking him a bit with my foot what I thought i was doing was apologizing what I was actually doing was teaching him the concept of insurance fraud it is only a matter of time before he trips me and I break my neck

novavax news! for americans

payment for a Smöl Boy school program is due on a seemingly random basis, no auto-pay, no option to pre-pay for the year. I am not putting 9 separate deadlines in my Google Calendar, so I made an event for every single Friday to check website to see if I can pay yet (1/2)

Tbh this doubles as a marketing strategy in that people are finally logging in to LinkedIn again!

Ok so medical billing is always a scam, but this “new” hospital system is a lot more straightforward than the previous one, in that I owe $17 for ultrasound portion of mammogram, not $80 like last one, AND the total before insurance payments was $270 not $600.

They also have DVDs full seasons of TV shows and movies. And if you don't have a DVD player you can get a DVD/Blu-Ray for under 100 bucks or an external drive for your computer for around that if you don't have a TV

forever aspirationally envious of the parents whose kids don’t fight them on EVERY SINGLE THING

Successfully touched up my gel mani and can confirm that Zoya “Ryan” is exactly a non-sparkly OPI “Russian Navy“

much like asking Copilot how to disable itself, now we can watch the YouTube video for how to uninstall the tv screen from the fridge ON THE FRIDGE SCREEN

Today on “everything is core muscles”: learning in foot PT that I’ve been walking wrong for 40.2 years and, more importantly, how to fix it 😑 cc: @ladyvoldemort09.bsky.social @bexcommunicated.bsky.social

Y’all, give me a Netflix queue for the month I finally decide to reinstate my account. so far i only have the new season of Wednesday. …what else? Cult documentaries? Art crimes? Magical objects + end of the world?

technology used to be cool, but now it’s owned by the worst, most moneysick humans on the planet. but there are transsexual furry hackers out there still fighting the good fight

It's only $17.99 a month to turn off the ads on my fridge, but if I bundle it with Dishwasher Premium I get 3 free hours of ad-supported Hulu a month, so

My advice: the thing you are scared of? The thing that is too good to use? OK. Don't push yourself into that if it's gonna make you unhappy. Get the cheapest thing that is JUST LIKE IT that you can find. Same size, same thing, whatever. Use that first.

glad to see that canvas paper is still reasonably cheap ($8/10 sheets, of the good stuff), so i do not feel so bad about losing that second pad I KNOW I got at some point (bc I lost the first one, then I found the first one and lost the second one),

instructions unclear, accidentally loaded up on heavy historical non-fiction about unstable political eras.

I think giving yourself permission to use the nice stuff even if you’re unsure how it’ll turn out was a big turning point for me. It’s not being wasteful to sincerely try something with your nice stuff even if it doesn’t pan out.

Important PSA for parents of white boys. If you don’t want you sons radicalized do these 5 things.

Oh. I think another generic changed their recipe. Hmm. 9 days of feeling progressively worse.

A majority of Americans are skeptical of AI proliferation and would rather it be applied to things like data analysis and menial tasks than creativity, religion, and personal relationships.
