ChatGPT has ads now lmfao

90 minute YouTube video titled “Erika Kirk and The Cult of Biblical Womanhood” yes PLEASE

I freaking LOVE doing genealogy research for clients

Mmmmm sounds like shit!

The high pitched drone buzzing on Olympics footage 💀💀💀

Makes sense, as soon as JD Vance enters my field of vision I instinctively start booing, jeering, retching

Y’all want these haiku spikes I’m telling you

A bit of what I said in our Texas Gladden presentation got quoted on the radio this morning! Very cool! If I had known I would have said “um” less!! www.wmra.org/2026-02-06/t...

Our video presentation on the life and work of Texas Gladden. We’re really proud of this one, Elizabeth’s performance moved me to tears. ❤️‍🔥🪕

Attending a talk by Katrina Powell on families displaced by the construction of Shenandoah National Park rn. Very good talk, good job Library of Virginia for hosting it

At some point I’m going to have to transition my freelancer billing to be more project based than hourly, but right now I’m kinda loving being able to just shut things down when the hours are up, it’s quite refreshing as someone who has a tendency to anxiously overwork

I am so blessed that my second genealogy client is one of those unicorns that just likes having a professional researcher by their side to fully explore rabbit holes and is happy to pay a consistent amount each month to have that

One of the best things you can do on Bluesky is flip that lil switch that makes it so you can’t post photos without alt text

UMMMMMM yeah fuck that

Orgs doing this sanctimonious anti-whistle nonsense 🤡

I’ve eaten soba noodles with peanut butter and chili oil for breakfast for the last three days, and as I was finishing my bowl today I was thinking about how excited I am to eat it again tomorrow

Living next to an Airbnb that’s owned and managed by someone who lives out of state* sucks *living next to an Airbnb sucks by default but this just adds an extra layer of suck

Streaming services* *except Spotify 😜

So much hand wringing over Bandcamp banning AI lol

I have spent way too much time over the last few days trolling the IG page of this AI neo-soul “singer” “Sienna Rose”

I kind of love how cheesy Don Lemon is even when he’s totally righteous

Already had the guy muted but apparently it’s time for this

I love a general strike tbh, I try to participate in every one that comes along as much as I can. Who doesn’t love a day off? Come on

Incredible man

My dad has always been a Linux/open source software guy, and I feel like my present dissatisfaction with commercial software is a moment he’s been waiting for his entire life

Kind of annoying that in central VA the winter storm perfectly contained itself to the weekend

Amber Ruffin and Sam Richardson doing “It’s Always Bargain Time at Farmer Zacks” on Detroiters is so chefs kiss

Now that I knit whenever I see someone wearing a knit garment in real life or on screen I’m like 👀👀🧐🧐 investigating the stitch pattern

I’ve been listening to CDs more lately which means regularly encountering that stupid thing where the last track has 10 extra minutes of silence before the secret song plays

I see older drivers doing very dangerous things pretty frequently. Last year while in Warrenton I saw a woman driving the wrong way down two different roads. It must be terrifying to operate a vehicle without your full faculties, and denying seniors safe travel options seems like elder abuse.

Please imprison him

I hate how everything is TikTok now. Hate how Instagram is TikTok because Zuck has never had an original idea. YouTube is TikTok now, I fucking hate shorts, that one hurts the most. Just leave me alone.

Really hope we get a kerosene tank refill before Thursday so our house’s main heater can work 🥲

As a grant writer, I never understand the purpose of the common question “describe how this program would be affected if funding were not received/partially awarded.” Like what is the funder actually trying to understand here wrt funding the program?

The kerosene tank that fuels our house’s main heat holds juuuuust enough fuel to routinely run empty on the coldest days of the year, just brilliant I love it

It is honestly so funny to see everyone trying to get in line behind *JD Vance* like seriously hard to imagine a more pathetic man

This is me all week

Honestly I’m here for lustful coverage of Rama Duwaji’s incredible style

I would LOVE it if this road by my house was used by buses, bikes, and maybe even a rail line if we’re dreaming, instead of everyone’s dumbass car (including my dumbass car!)

I can’t believe the asshole who runs the Kennedy Center is also doing diplomatic negotiations in Venezuela. I had to look up the name to make sure that this is the same Ric Grenell who was being a huge jerk to Yasmin Williams.

This collard green color needs to be a Pantone color of the year one year, it’s so beautiful

Guarantee the right is going to try to co-opt “grift” in 2026, it’s too powerful

I am a better knitter than Harmeet Dhillon AND I am not a horrid soulless ghoul! Finished blocking this beauty today

Not my field but this whole “I’ll probably get yelled at but here’s my little take 🥺👉👈” positioning is so exhausting

I got Daniel the Vegan Chinese Kitchen cookbook and my cooking goal for 2026 is to get on that super economical kick, like making mock meat from gluten then making cold skin noodles from the starch water left over from washing the gluten

I forgot which mutual posted about whether stink bugs really stink, but I wanted to share this photo of the squinty face my cat makes whenever there is a stink bug in her vicinity

So sorry to be like “fuck the New York Times!” on Christmas morning but this is some heinous shit

I love the part of the christmas holidays where your day is spent doing things like going on a walk, watching a movie in the middle of the day, and snacking on cheese and crackers and other fancy little snacks throughout the day as your meal. So relaxing

Sam Richardson is so funny, I want to see everything he’s in

I can’t stand seeing AI everywhere. This is on the homepage of FamilyTreeDNA and I clocked it as AI as soon as I saw it because of the unnatural movements (If you want to look for a tell, check out how a ski pole randomly appears in the right hand of the man standing up)
