Somebody just mentioned waffles in passing and now I need to make some

This is great!

My niece’s boyfriend got a part time job driving a Zamboni and we are all grilling him about every detail

I’m vaguely mentoring a recent grad who is interviewing. She has been looking at the cost of living in DC, which is about double small Midwest university town costs. Yes I am aware.

Explain your @ My grandfather had a Belgian accent and always pronounced three like tree. And we are a tree-loving household! Plus the tagline (… and the first true don’t count) was too good

I feel as though any greeting you learn in Duolingo is essentially “Hello fellow kids”

So great to see this! Take my $

Truer words

This vid is terrific and does what vids do best - make me want to rewatch the entire show

I bet I wasn’t the only one to read this as “The Last Twat”

The outdoor movie tonight at the park across the street is Hamilton. The crowd is loving it!

Bummed to realize the DC Pride Parade is on Father’s Day this year, when I will be traveling to see my father. I mean, yay family but what about other family?

Work husband and I end this morning’s coffee chitchat as we do many days with “why aren’t we running the world”? The rant was about routine deletion of any records after 7 years, which apparently has a lot to do with financial culpability and zero to do with how research works

I’m on here as treewishes, any code seems to just work (multiple times at least for now)

Having been lovingly rained on whilst biking home last night, this is DELIGHTFUL

I probably set 20 small timers a day on my watch to remind me to go to a meeting, focus on this task for 15 minutes, leave work when I said I would, etc etc etc. This probably makes my brain lazy? I like to think it makes room for more important thoughts. 🤷‍♀️

My almost universal take on recipes is “more cheese”. Soup? Salad? Pasta? More cheese. Dessert? A layer of cheesecake filling couldn’t hurt.

Bunny! Look at that FOOT

Despite growing up in Chicagoland (a word only people from there are allowed to use), I’ve never seen the Ferris Bueller movie

Set my alarm wrong (pm vs am) to take the MCAT. Applied for grad school in science instead, got a PhD, and now I battle flawed MBA thinking every day

@volts.wtf Is there any way to support you / your podcast without also supporting Substack? Asking for a friend.

We’re up to two bad days in the office over two weeks. My rule for quitting has been “3 bad days in a row” but I may have to amend

The ways that fans gamed hits and kudos on AO3 was an early indicator of insider trading on prediction markets. In this essay I will

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

Awful thing [that I could have predicted this administration doing] happened today and I am having to work as though it didn’t

I rarely notice the article of the day on Wikipedia … but en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shippin...

Wow I guess The Doctor is back? youtu.be/ARdZ6t-YAy0?...

Hey! I met these guys. Very good science ☕️☕️☕️

My pants stayed on, but my DH still won’t watch the original Wizard of Oz. And monkeys creep him out to this day.

The helicopters are on a 5 minute circuit. Fucking correspondents dinner. Ugh.

The specifics are super boring but I’ll say that I never thought I would engage again with either my MS or PhD topics, and yet here we are, excavating brain cells on the regular

The toddler sitting behind me on this plane is already screaming and sobbing at peak and we haven’t even taken off yet

Topic of conversation on a Friday afternoon in the office: do you know what ambrosia salad is? Surprising number of people did not.

I know Randall is a genius but this is next level

It’s the end of the quarter today. Who could have seen this coming? Clearly not me, who has done almost zero of the things I have due today.

Was this in an Appleby’s?

Just watching NASCAR, which has a car sponsored by Dude Wipes. They are hyping their new scent, MentHole. YOU CANT MAKE THIS STUFF UP. Also, I want to see this in fic soonest.

My mom went to work at 7 and we were on own until she got home, which (2 jobs) was sometimes after we went to bed. Kids aged 6-12. We did our own laundry, cooking, dishes, school prep. We went fishing down at the creek, raided gardens for fresh peas, walked for miles. Also read every book we had.

Hey I wish this was l*cked but if anyone wants to DM me about Plex or Dropbox access to HR, I’m listening :)

So to resist and unsubscribe, I cancelled our Ama#on Primo acct and joined my sister’s prime club. There’s > 10 friends and relatives that share the acct. Just make your own list and when you move stuff into the cart make sure the credit card and delivery address are correct. It works!

Brave New World, definitely (Aldous Huxley). Lord of Light (Roger Zelazny) and Stranger in a Strange Land ( Robert Heinlein) very much. I can still trace most of my beliefs and behaviors to these books. Good or bad, hard to say.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy (she definitely is)

Search your camera roll for hell

My coworker keeps reminding me that at least I still have a credit card in my name and it’s really not helping

It’s been such a fucking day, but someone brought in Girl Scout cookies and it’s a teensy bit better now

Sorry this one didn’t make the cut!

Just chatted with a (non fan) Canadian friend and hoo boy, it’s drinkin’ day, with the Olympic hockey losses, on top of the World Series and the general political dickishness that makes this less a friendly rivalry and more a stab wound

Finally getting to the reason I’m doing Russian in Duolingo

Apparently they are filming in our offices tomorrow for some publicity video about the Department and we are all feeling a cough coming on so facemasks only make sense, right?

Not looking forward to walking home in “evening snow showers”
