I love realizing after 6-8 hours that I’m cranky and tired and everything’s too loud and smells are too strong because I have a migraine.

This morning I logged in after a long weekend to find 71 new emails, 50 of which turned out to be from a good old-fashioned reply-all debacle. The old internet isn’t dead yet.

Thank you grandpa Dutch for the starting advantage, but unfortunately the last thing I bought was four packets of Jacquard iDye.

you've heard of Hot Rat Summer, now it's Short Raccoon Bummer

There is a raccoon running around Capitol Hill who has Shortened Spine Syndrome.

it amazes me how many people have made it to adulthood and not noticed yet how many if not most vocal critics of Rural America are people who are themselves FROM rural America, and who would rather eat broken glass than go back

So I'm gonna just keep linking to this report, which JKR has threatened to bankrupt the foremost human rights organization in the world over because it accurately called her and her buddies a bunch of bigots working to strip human rights from people. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/mafq8...

Watching Jurassic Park for the first time in decades and all of the jokes about it being a bisexual awakening on par with The Mummy are, in retrospect, entirely correct

NPR reports that the Department of Health and Human Services will not be finalizing a proposed rule that would have blocked all Medicaid and Medicare funding for hospitals that provide pediatric gender-affirming care. www.npr.org/2026/07/13/n...

Here is Graham gloating about "killing all the right people." Just in case you see anyone try to do the whole "we should have decency for the dead" nonsense.

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

Griddle just laid the biggest goddamn egg I have ever seen from a chicken. My hands are not small. If I baked with this egg I’d have to double the recipe.

anyway, due to accidents of history we’ve learned that there was a very coordinated effort to simply extract hundreds of millions of dollars of public money and put it into private pockets on threats and vibes. but saving transit is beyond the pale. got it.

"They just want to turn it off." A fascinating story of the librarians who have started teaching classes showing people how to remove AI "features" from their phones and apps. www.bangordailynews.com/2026/07/02/m...

America keeps trying to get me to go to her birthday party and I’m like no girl u need to go to the hospital

*I do not endorse any pope, I just endorse consequences and would like the democrats to be to the left of the fuckin pope

If my spouse loves me half as much as he loves the complete works of Genesis, I am a very lucky person.

Griddle has been sneezing since the rain started. She has no other symptoms, and the other hens are fine, so I don’t feel too bad laughing.

Marionberries are just ok.

Dreamed about a Dresden Dolls song that goes “I may be the only person/who just might actually be perfect” and as far as i I can tell my brain made it up?

JAMES CARVILLE RETIRE BITCH

The great thing about ADHD + anxiety is that when something happens, I’ve probably already been thinking about it, which means I was right and should continue to overthink everything.

I missed out on the limited edition Sleater-Kinney jersey benefiting Planned Parenthood but it’s still riot grrl night

there’s a woman on insta experiencing her sixth miscarriage and this time her body didn’t expel on its own so she’s live-blogging the three (3) ultrasounds over two (2) weeks that Florida is requiring her to have to see that her baby is really dead before she can have a D & C

I’m pretty sure I woke up around 6am, said “maybe it’ll happen today” to the dog, and went back to sleep.

Love kicking off the week with an external meeting that appeared randomly in my calendar from someone I’ve met once, the purpose of which is explained neither in the invitation nor in the meeting itself.

all those guys on the front lawn of the white house tonight are there because it's not their weekend with their kids and i think it is beautiful when men sync up their custody cycles

Dreamed it happened and I found out because all my neighbors were screaming.

Nearly 2 months ago I got hit by a car while I was riding my bike. I won’t rehash the whole story here, I have posted about it enough already, but I have not stopped being furious about the way I was treated afterwards by the PPB. www.portlandmercury.com/news/road-ru...

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

Happy Ode To Billie Joe Day to all who celebrate, which should be everyone. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaRa...

Me: I never get up this early! It’s so quiet and pretty out. I think I’ll sit on the patio with my tea. The neighbor’s leaf blower: BRRRRRRZZZZZZVVVVVVZZZZZZ The other neighbor’s nail gun: THWACK THWACK THWACK My husband cooking breakfast: KYRIE ELEISON DOWN THE ROAD THAT I MUST TRAVELLLL

at this point the NYT is basically a paper bag labeled "dead dove do not open"

Went looking for something in my LiveJournal and found an entry in 2006 where I was bemused that my then-SO refused to read the NYT because of its role in manufacturing consent for various wars. I kind of want to reach out and say “ok, I get it now”

Whiskey has arthritis in one hip and something unpleasant going on in her lumbar spine. Vet prescribed two weeks of strict rest. Genuinely don’t understand how that’s supposed to work when gaba + clonidine + trazodone barely makes a dent.

Obviously there are way too many hateful people doing it on spec but I really don’t think there are as many as it seems. They gotta pay people lots of money to trick lots of people into hating trans people.
