Finding Nemo (2003 Children's film) A father has to work through the devastation of his wife and all but one of his children being murdered by a serial killer, only for his one surviving son to be kidnapped. The father must overcome severe anxiety and depression to rescue his son. Rated G.

Guy in my neighborhood has a WFH setup in his yard, complete with a standing desk, dual monitor computer setup, and large TV, all on wheeled desks for ease of movement. That is the energy we need to bring into the final months of 2025.

Bank: *sends email* Me: *logs into email* Bank: You have a message. Could be urgent. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Me: *logs into bank app* Me: *navigates to messaging feature in bank app* *opens new message* Bank: lol hi. :)

Not gonna lie, the one upside of the tariff drama is that my online spending has been curtailed significantly since all the countries I usually buy stuff from aren't shipping to the US 🤷🏻‍♀️ #BrightSide 💰💰💰

Me: That was a good run! Garmin ⌚️: Looks like the cats aren't the only pussies in this house. #JustRunnerThings

It's me. Hi.

Once my nervous system figures out the difference between a charging rhinoceros and a telephone call, it's OVER for you hoes

Breadcrumbing isn't acceptable in situationships, and it sure isn't acceptable in governance.

Y’all can go blame the GOP all you want. But they’ve told you for a long time what they wanted to do. There’s only one group of people that decided to put their “movement” above you and your loved ones who didn’t even let the Democratic candidate BREATHE without harassing them…

I never dreamed I'd be 35 years old and still stressed out over a retainer, but here we are. (The orthodontic kind of retainer, not the fee kind, FWIW)

Whoopsies dropped my phone and next thing I knew I'd signed up for another marathon I hate when that happens

What the world needs, I've decided, is hospitality with 5-star amenities and blue-collar service. Impeccable food, high thread count sheets, priority boarding, BUT the staff will cuss, tell you straight-up when you're out of line, and won't be weird about it if you want to carry your own bags

My new conspiracy theory is that raccoons are simply North American leprechauns.

Listen up: cancer is not a punishment for someone you think is a bad person. Cancer doesn't give a damn who you are. When you frame Biden's diagnosis as a MORAL judgement, this applies to all cancer patients. Including my damn mom, who died from it. Some of y'all need a nap and therapy.

What in the dust bowl bullshit is this?

Now what if they made huge Ubers that could seat 20+ people and another 20 with standing room, and they had them run on specific routes at specific times? With an app where you could pay the fare and track its position in real time? Oh wait. That already exists and it's called a bus. 🚍

Maybe whomever they sell the info to can also witness millions of athletes being bullied by their Garmin watches. #LookingOnTheBrightSide

My Council of Eunuchs is hosting an intervention and has invited me to have a seat and give them 5 minutes of my time.

Since both my cats are fixed, I've begun referring to them as my Council of Eunuchs.

Unbothered. Moisturized. In his lane. Goblin. Thriving.

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

This is The Last Supper now.

Chicago Pope means no meat on Fridays, unless it's in a deep dish pizza.

I got tacos

I mean, it was nice, but boy was I sore in the morning...

Update:

n=1 here obvs, but thus far in Europe folks have been nothing but kind when the topic of current events & news arises.

The scene: UK Passport Control Border Guard: "How long will you be staying?" Me: "Til Tuesday." Me to me: *don't say it don't say it don't say it-- Me: "I'm running the London Marathon! "🤩🏃🏻‍♀️ Border Guard: 😳 "Good luck!"

🎶 I ask for nothing I can get by But I know so many Less lucky than I Please help my people The poor and down-trod I thought we all were The children of God 🎶

Me: I'm going to get up early and visit Notre-Dame before the crowds Also Me: (oversleeps) (Pope is dead) CAN'T HAVE A FUCKIN SODDIN THING IN ME LIFE!!

I have questions.

It's always fun to go back to Paris and happen upon old haunts from prior eras, like the spot in the Jardin du Luxembourg where I liked to go cry as a study abroad student, the café where I said fuck it and ordered another drink upon learning that Roe was overturned...

They must've served Dumb Bitch Juice instead of orange juice on the planr because SOMEONE decided a 7km hill run was a clever thing to do after an 8 hour flight 🫠😂

Book: *gets banned* Me: *add to cart*

Therapist: Give yourself more credit for the things that you do well. My 🧠: She's right. You've certainly earned it, you dumb bitch.

Good girls are bad girls who haven't been caught. 😏

Literally this. Ya girl will NEVER break a world record in sprinting because my ratio of slow to fast twitch muscle fibres ain't built for that. It is what it is. 🤷🏻‍♀️ My ancestors lived in bogs, picked potatoes, and set me up for endurance, not speed.

UK-trained doctor friend: "Have you paid back your student loans yet?" Me: "lol nah I still owe $305k on the $150k I borrowed to begin with." Doctor friend: 🤯

My Lyft driver is wearing legit driving gloves and I, for one, am here for it.

@corybooker.com makes a fresh pot of coffee whenever he drinks the last cup in the break room.

Trans people have a right to live full and fulfilled lives without having to constantly defend their right to exist. Trans rights are human rights. #TransgenderDayofVisibility

Me to my 🇫🇷 friends: What's it like living somewhere where politicians who do crimes are held accountable? It must be so relaxing.

It’s not that they don’t want to save their democracy, but they find it cost prohibitive. They don’t want to risk anything to save it, and by that very fear they become the biggest danger to their cherished democracy. #ThePoet www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Should I MyChart message this to my GP (who suggested dietary changes as my cholesterol isn't great, but isn't yet terrible)? Yes, or yes?

Me: That was a good workout! Garmin Watch: Little bitch. Getting bullied by a wristwatch is wild. #JustRunnerThings

It's the time of year in this old building where we play a game called Am I Febrile Or Is My Office Just Cold

After the winter, spring will come. Seasons change. Things change. Take time to frolic in the sun & laugh in the smug faces of the horrors that surround us. Find joy, and don't let them fucking have it. 🌷🌱
