There's now a disability section on @motherjones.com's homepage 🥳 www.motherjones.com

I like to assign themes to my sleepless nights. Tonight I’m watching the Sherlock channel on some streaming network and judging performances like I’m Roger Ebert. I just watched some 1991 version with Morgan Fairchild as Irene Adler and I’m not buying her in that role.

I’m awake for 3 reasons. The elbow fracture and perimenopause I understand, but the 3rd is that I ate too much meatloaf and I’m just too full? wtf

Today a coworker opened a blister pack of acetaminophen for me and he said, “antihistamine? Oh well, it says pain reliever too.” I checked, and then showed it to him again and said, “it’s acetaminophen” and he looked again and said, “no, antihistamine.”

Every time I hear the Happy Birthday song, I remember when I was at my ex bf’s family party and unbeknownst they can all sing and I started off like I would from my server days, loud, bad, and proud. They were aghast until I stopped and the rest of the video you can hear me laughing hysterically

It sure isn’t Nashville, TN drinking water, which is goddamn terrible.

I fucking love watching horror movies on Tubi. I can’t read the descriptions without my glasses, so I just go on vibes and half these seem like some film student’s thesis project they recruited their friends to act in and I love it. I will watch your little film and pretend it’s good.

This is what Mumford & Sons looks like to me

The March 2026 Vanderbilt Poll, which gauges resident sentiment on local issues, asked whether Nashvillians supported adding new bike lanes. The poll showed a strong base of support — and a potential to grow support by sharing the benefits of bike lanes.

I missed Ron Funches in Nashville so now I gotta fly somewhere to go see him perform and I’m going to do it. That man makes me laugh so hard.

Y’all, I broke my elbow at work Occult radial head fracture for sure. Had to get an MRI to see what else is messed up. At least it’s my left, but it really hurts. Guess I’m off lawn duty at home for a while, which is an upside

So incredibly Overwhelmed. Life doesn’t care so just gotta survive this week and try and be kind to myself.

I'm salty bc there simply are not enough options for adults for fun birthday party events unless you have no more than 9-14 friends. Everything is small groups or 50+ groups. Where is the option for in btwn those two? I have accumulated like 20-25 friends/family in my almost 43 years of life that

Do I throw a roller skating party this year or recognize that many of my friends can’t skate and do something different?

I made Easter baskets with candy for the men in this house and myself one with a nice lotion, new eyelash curler, and other little beauty products and now I want some chocolate.

I’m not making a traditional Easter dinner today. I’m picking up Mexican food. I’m thrilled with my decision.

I’ve been awake so long that I’m just waiting for my fam to wake up so I can make them breakfast before I go back to bed for like 4 hours

Y’all, I tried archery yesterday and I’m hooked!

Yo son has good taste 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

My son’s new favorite rapper is Flavor Flav. It’s a recent discovery for him and it is taking me back in time!

I have a small group chat where we often have to use our collective memory to place people and I am so proud when I am the one to say, “yes! I remember them! We were on a board with them in 2001 or they were nice in hs (or whatever)”

Went to Asheville for the weekend and I saw some great art, some mid art, walked around a city and ate really good food. That is truly what my soul requires to feel rejuvenated.

Yesterday at work I was watching orientation videos on mute, just flipping through slides then taking the little quizzes at the end and a co-worker said, “that’s cheating.” I didn’t have it in me to explain that I can read.

I have a very expressive face. it’s exhausting. I have opinions and talk to people, so I have to force and focus my face into neutrality in public often. I’m getting a bit of Botox next month and I cannot wait. I can cringe all I want at people and no one will see it

When I don’t want to do cardio I put on dance music and pretend I’m back at a club in the late 90’s

I have exactly one low effort thing to do tomorrow from my home and yet I have the Sunday Morbs.

I need to find a second place to ride my bike other than Shelby bottoms. It gets kinda crowded on beautiful days and I get stressed trying to pass walkers.

My husband calls me “chaotic” for reasons that I find hilarious, like I occasionally put stuff on a different door shelf in the fridge depending on how full the fridge is. Have we not all had to play refrigerator Tetris after a big grocery haul?

Can someone find me Nicole Kidman’s Aviator sunglasses from Scarpetta. I also have a very narrow nose bridge and I need them

It’s officially sit on the front porch at night weather!

I’m rewatching Scarpetta because I just found out all the houses shown are shocking close to my own house- even though I honestly fell asleep during every episode the first watch

Wait, so this is really supposed to be the father of Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis in Scarpetta? I mean, I guess I’ll believe it, genetics are crazy, but…

I would spend unholy amounts of money for a custom made pillow

Had a really annoying interaction with a 2nd person who didn’t understand my allergies and downplayed them. The dissertation she has to listen to from me, filled with words I know this bitch didn’t understand, shut her the fuck up. I’m still irritated though.

Just remembered the time in high school when we had a poetry assignment. After I turned mine in, the teacher met with me privately to make sure I was ok and I had to tell her, “sorry, I just listened to a bunch of Tori Amos first and basically paraphrased because I don’t understand poetry”

I’m watching The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945) and Angela Lansbury is so perfect

Left my heated blanket and pillow on the couch by accident and went to get it and my big dog saw her chance. When I got close her eyes pleaded with me and I got myself a different blanket and a throw pillow and sat my ass in the chair. Live your best night tonight, sister. I’ll be fine over here.

Colman Domingo wearing a silk suit on Hot Ones. Although silk is often used for cream dinner jackets, you rarely see it as a suit today. Silk suits, particularly in slubby Dupioni, were more popular in the 1920s and '60s. Makes for a very chic spring look (if you can find it).

I would like to congratulate Grammarly’s lawyers for belatedly realizing their shitty AI product was gonna get them class-action yeeted into the sun. I would also like to encourage Grammerly to eat shit forever and ever amen.

The National Labor Relations Board has ordered Barista Parlor to post a “Notice to Employees” for allegedly violating workers’ rights related to a 2023 case.

I wish I had named one of my dogs Chauncey

Someone in this house better not have just woken me up to ask a question about the show I just clearly was sleeping through and when I said, “Idk, I was asleep!” They said, “but you’ve seen it before.

Poirot went o a costume party with Hasting where they were to dress up as famous figures and Hasting said, “I don’t think they’ll let you in. You were supposed to dress up as famous person” and Poirot says, “précisément” and walked in as himself, and God I love that man

My son said earlier, “the birds chirping outside are mocking me! 😡 “ and I think we can all relate.

I have a few weeks to figure out a gift for my spouse’s birthday and honestly, I’ve got nothing. Christmas and Valentine’s Day exhausted all my ideas. He is not an easy man to shop for

Found out today I may need to be in a swimsuit in front of coworkers this summer and nope. I cannot and will not. Not a gd chance. Nooooo.

I know my husband is actually reading in the bedroom instead of napping and he knows I am actually watching bs tv and not cleaning in the living room and that is Joe happy marriages work

Every week my husband goes to Costco and every week he tells me they still don’t have a catapult or trebuchet (item 1 from my list) and it grounds me.

I am so tired and put a newish Liam Neeson movie on and I have no idea which one and it doesn’t matter because the are all interchangeable
