I am surprisingly proud of this. PS We are still running our MS Society of Canada fundraiser until the end of June! Buy a tshirt, walk your 5k, win some fabulous prizes.

Just as an FYI, if anybody signs up to take the Mensa test (don’t judge me. I need validation or shame, so this meets my needs either way), it will show up on your credit card as “AMERICAN MEN.” So it looks like I am into some specific porn.🤦🏻‍♀️

At ER with Mom from 1:30 to 2:30am to lower her blood sugar numbers. Home now. I wanted to tell someone, but I don’t have anyone to tell. So I’m telling you, BlueSky. She’s ok now.

Has anyone else ever gotten surprise nausea from a Botox injection? I’ve had them multiple times before, no problems. Now, I feel like vomiting and like somebody punched me all over. Dr. Google says that nausea is rare but happens but that doesn’t help me not barf, so any advice is appreciated. 🙏🏻

My dad just admitted to having seen the original cast of Second City when he was in high school in Toronto in the 70’s. Ackroyd. O’Hara. Candy. Levy. Radner. I am LOSING IT over here.

Kudos to whoever picked out the order of articles in this @nytimes.com newsletter. Just asking and answering their own question:

Alone in the tiny lobby of The Heights Theatre, waiting to see Aimee Mann and Jonathan Coulton, trying not to make eye contact with anyone. I am very brave.

Trying to figure out if this is depression or if I am actually sad about specific things ranging from the micro-level (friendships) to the macro-level (the state of the world). Does anybody else just feel like an eggshell with no egg lately?

How many pigs in a blanket count as a balanced dinner? Asking for… a friend. Not me, an adult human woman. *cough*

Canceled my @washingtonpost.com subscription. Fuck this noise.

Was really wishing I could just get a hit of something salty without having to find an item of food that I am definitely going to overindulge in, then realized that I had just basically re-invented the salt lick. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Should not have watched videos about pets left behind after ICE raids tonight. Seeing as they’re going after white people and naturalized people in addition to their usual targets of non-white non-citizens, I’m wondering if I should make a pet care backup plan. This would have seemed insane 6mo ago.

RSVP: bit.ly/masscall126 On Saturday, federal agents horrifically shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse who cared for veterans, in the Eat Street neighborhood of south Minneapolis after brutally beating him in front of witnesses. Enough is enough. #NoKings #ICEOUTforGood #AbolishICE

Started this morning reading the NYT second-by-second breakdown of government agents executing Alex Peretti in public, then broke a glass jar of salad dressing, then the drawstring on my favorite PJs snapped, then I got dog shit on my hands and my shoelace untied itself. I think today is done.

Update: my insurance company just told this new doctor that they don’t know who I am. My blood pressure PHYSICALLY HURTS.

SUCH A GREAT COUNTRY, FULL OF FREEDOM AND LIBERTY. So glad my parents moved here. </sarcasm>

Man, getting a doc in America is the absolute height of BS: only 2 in Houston approved by insurance, 1 only works 2x/wk, 2wks/mo, so no appts until OCT; 2nd one refused to return calls; called back, given 3rd° abt insurance b4 they even took my name, then told I need to pay $75 for an appt in April.

Sometimes, when I let my mind wander, I remember that a college prof called me “crunchy and alternative” & said that I shouldn’t go to law school. While she was prob right abt law school (all debt, no pleasure), I remain HAUNTED by the “crunchy/alt” part. I assumed she thought I was dirty FOR YEARS.

Jon Stewart has some absolute fucking NERVE to be making fun of Long COVID survivors and people still masking on his piece of shit podcast when he’s seen UP CLOSE the government deny healthcare and resources for 9/11 survivors who breathed in toxic air and are suffering decades later. What a psycho

Was talking to a coworker about Sallie Mae, and when she had no idea what I was referring to, I finally understood what it would have been like to be a Romanian peasant meeting Jonathan Harker and having him hear the name “Dracula” for the first time.

When I get tired of Insta’s “share your burdens but if you do so without notarized consent, THAT IS ABUSE” posts, I come back to Bluesky to relax with posts about how America is going to Hell and also specific examples of how it hates foreigners and women and dirty liberals, all of which I am.

To everyone who told me not to be afraid of denaturalization because it “literally never happens,” what do you say now? I guess I need to figure out if I am a “net asset” to this country.

🎙️ Just published a new episode of Ger Can Get It: Tracker (2001)-- Zin (Part Two). Have a listen:

Too nervous to watch the Jays live so I am just refreshing my Toronto Star app while the game plays in the next room.

Everyone, please enjoy the episode of Babylon 5 that made me text Rachel with “HOW COULD YOU NOT TELL ME THAT LONDO HAS A TENTACLE DICK AND THWT WE GET TO SEE IT?!?”

Sometimes, I talk about something other than how the Boomers made it so I will never have a home. Sometimes, I talk about Boomer actor Geraint Wyn Davies falling off of buildings.

I’m at the part of having a cold where I cry over how big the house in Uncle Buck is, for anyone tracking my progress back to health.

Just had to google the placement of facial mole of a former boss to see whether this woman on my flight is her. How’s your mental health going, gang? (It wasn’t her. PTSD level back to normal now).

Was feeling all-of-sudden depressed and a little scared about big things tonight until I got shocked by some kind of not-quite-an-earwig, not-quite-a-cockroach shooting out at me from the bathroom sink. So…neat.

🎙️ Just published a new episode of Ger Can Get It: Dudley the Dragon (1994)-- "Have Yourself a Crabby Little Christmas" AND The Edison Twins (1985)- Season 3, Eps 11-13. Have a listen:

Not me thinking about how “Somewhere that’s Green” from Little Shop of Horrors is kind of like the Simpsons’ house: it used to be a funny commentary on lower-middle-class living and now they both feel like an unattainable dream (minus the 12in tv, which is prob harder to find than a 60in now).

🎙️ Just published a new episode of Ger Can Get It: Antony and Cleopatra (2015)-- Mark Antony. Have a listen:

To everyone else living in fear like a rat in a wall: hello. One day, we will be free.

Brain: “all these things are fixable. The worst possible thing that will happen is you will have negative money and/or get a bill collector phone call until you get paid next week.” Body: “WHAT IF WE SHOOT THE BLOOD PRESSURE ALL THE WAY UP? WILL THAT HELP? MAYBE PUT ALL THE BLOOD INTO ONE LEG?”

Oh oops. I stayed up until 2am building IKEA furniture

Am wearing an oversized hoodie and baggy basketball shorts as I did not expect to be in the fanciest grocery store of my life today. Would be embarrassed but instead, am choosing to embrace my inner Adam Sandler. Little Nicky would not be ashamed, so neither am I.

Definitely in the middle of a migraine attack, because I woke up wondering how to make Lesley Ann Warren’s bombshell outfit from the Clue movie. Also, it turns out that you can buy seafoam green opera gloves online. #goodtoknow

Somebody, please slap this Celsius out of my hand. Why do I only drink it when I’m already stressed out? My big fat heart is going to explode.

Thank god I’m not superstitious and have never engaged in magical thinking or the fact that it has rained and thundered every day since arriving at the new house after it rained and thundered almost weekly at the old l, terrible, house would certainly cause me stress. Ha. 🤦🏻‍♀️🫣

Was deeply confused that Star Trek had put out a cookbook for a minute.

Having a real bad day here, folks.

Why does this hotel only carry The Epoch Times? I hate this.

Last day of packing and loading before the move. The stress and anxiety level and the number and variety of things going wrong is so fucking high.

Gift article about my favo(u)rite place in the world: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/31/t...

We have now passed the “I don’t care where it goes as long as it gets onto the truck” part of me packing my own bags and moved right on into the “letting my mind wander so hard in the shower that I do not wash the conditioner out of my hair” portion of the trip. #rockhardhairhelmet

One day, I will be the kind of person who has regular and not just priority mail envelopes in her house. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Is anyone else being barraged with weird ads for menopause pills made from ground-up cow organs or just me?

I know that my mother could not have known of the existence of Todd Chrisley when she told Child-Me that I had to either become a doctor or a lawyer when I grew up, but she must have sensed it in her soul because asking me all about this man’s self-inflicted legal woes is her new dearest hobby.

I wish that once a source of stress goes away, my body could acknowledge that and stop flooding my body with panic chemicals. Too bad my body only gets messages from my brain via media mail. 🙄 #youllcalmdownwhenweletyoucalmdown #whichisnever
