The wild thing about that palindrome is there was no plan. The man was just winging it.

I want people to like me I just don’t want them to tell me about it.

It’s almost like capitalism was a bad idea.

It’s just because people like old guys, ok? Am a political expert now? Who do I see to get paid for that very smart opinion?

I see that trap. I know it’s a trap. I am not falling into that trap so many of you are setting right in front of me. Nope.

Further degrees of stressed are stroosed, stroused, and strarsed.

Does it matter to anyone on the other end that I deleted the app that showed me Lake fucking America? Don’t care. It felt good.

The cat prefers soft surfaces for barfing.

I know I’ve become joyless and mean—get off my lawn, alright—but I really don’t think it’s funny to joke about being on the side of ice when they get someone you don’t like.

Sunset walk to the lake. Kid says it’s giving stock photo.

My god, we’re really pretending on here that children deserve to die if it’s their own parents who make bad health decisions for them. Why is a child’s death only ever framed a tragedy for the parents and not the actual child.

I’m like 100 seasons into supernatural and the phrase “how can that even be possible?”… it just… keeps getting said…

My husband told some asshole to fuck off because he called me a dumb bitch but I didn't hear. This is frustrating because I should get to be the one to tell him to fuck off.

You’re fighting but your opponent wants to change outfits right in the middle of things.

Optimist: The cup is half full Pessimist: The cup is half empty My dad, all the time, and so very funny, but also very deep, let me tell you: Maybe the glass is too big. Nobody ever says that, do they?

A good thing about my house is that in the room with the tv, the furniture just goes ahead lets you face it?

Old lady in the mirror is creeping me out.

Am not in any way looking for babysitting gigs. Also I drive. Still annoyed that someone in my gloriously walkable public-transit accessible and legitimately near emergency services neighborhood is only considering babysitters who drive and not even because the kid needs to be transported.

My kid and I at the pool and joking about murder. Small child swims over to announce that her daddy is a police officer.

I understand that the Minnesotan cannot eat the last thing. I don’t understand if they want someone else to eat it or for the final bite to be discarded. But I do understand that I can’t trust any answer they give me about that.

My Massachusetts MIL announces we can’t leave until someone eats the last donut. Immediately someone does. We leave. That simply couldn’t happen in Minnesota.

Nice cookie you’ve got there. Be a shame if someone guilted you into giving it to them.

I wish I had traveled more when I was younger. I didn't have any money but my body was up for anything and now it's just not.

“It’s been really strange to live in the world of the book for so many years and now be outside of it. It feels a little bit unfair. I want to be back in the throes of the book. I haven’t figured out ...

My family is (understandably) so fucking numb to the tiny (imaginary?) milestones I celebrate along the impossibly long slog to finish a book.

Remember how succession, as one example, began as if it hinged on one awful guy dying but then he kept not dying as if evil itself were immortal but then all of a sudden he just died. Haha.

Does Dottie leave super drunk Marla to be taken home by a complete stranger or am I misremembering the movie? Really, Dottie?

ACTION ITEM 🚨 Call both Senators plus the Governor and ask what work they’re doing to try to stop this prison camp from opening. We protected our neighbors for months, now they’re going to swarm back to take more. 1600 at a time.
