Someone please tell my husband that after 5 hrs of doing chores at my mom’s house, followed by a few more hrs of prepping City Council presentations for work, I just don’t have the energy to learn about the history of the Crips and Bloods, as based on the YouTube video he just watched. Thank you.

Her death doesn't feel real, and maybe that's because she was thought to be a true-blue angel on earth, so her time always felt limited. But I think we can all agree on this: we were darn lucky to be alive during this magical woman's life, to witness her talent, kindness, & everything in between ❤️

BTW, we watched WHAS last night w/ our kids. The 12yo didn't get much of the humor and still enjoyed it ok, but—boy oh boy—the 14yo LOVED it. He's since declared it as one of his 4 favorite non-horror movies. The other 3 being Dazed & Confused, Empire Records, and COOL fucking RUNNINGS.

Happy Wet Hot American Texas Chain Saw Massacre Summer Day to all who celebrate!

Two images split horizontally in the middle featuring date cards with lettering over black backgrounds for films Wet Hot American Summer and Texas Chain Saw Madsacre. The filter reads “August 18, 1981, 5:57 am, Last Day of camp.” And the latter reads “August 18, 1973”

I just dropped Milo off for his freshman orientation & into a bunch of spirited teenagers, aka everything my kid is not. I told him that even if someone is preppy to try & be nice because he’s a good guy. He told me that he wouldn’t actively try to be mean. Can’t wait to hear how it goes.

Update: It's not great, but it's also not the worst. We still don't know what caused his episode (bc it could be a number of things), but they did see something on his chest x-ray that could be concerning, and recommend seeing a specialist for a CT scan.

Please send good thoughts to our 17yo cat, Feldman. He had a scary episode today, and we’re awaiting some results. He is currently getting annoyingly groomed by his younger brother because those orange cats gotta take care of each other ❤️

I work for local government, and we have a cemetery groundskeeper who is every bit as kooky as you want him to be. When he swings by the main office building, he ALWAYS stops to tell a dad joke, and it's delightful. This morning: "Did you hear about the fake potato? I heard he was an imiTATER."

I am mad because I really don’t care for R. Murphy (full stop), but I will absolutely be tuning into the new season of AHS to see what’s up. So, where on the chaotic storytelling spectrum will it fall: genius or nonsense? And, depending on the scenery-chewing talent, will it matter?

Hello! Want an update? Probably not, but I still need to bitch a little. *Checks calendar* One year later, my car is finally at the body shop being fixed at Penske's expense - yay! Currently driving a newer-but-not-as-safe-as-my-own car rental, also at Penske's expense. It's been 2 weeks, and...

So, this is still an issue. We’ve done everything we’re supposed to, reporting it to the delivery truck company (Penske), and they have just gone M-I-fucking-A! My husband works for a law office, so we’re now having an attorney write a strongly worded letter bc wtf. I just want my car fixed.
