Science has put humans on the moon, yet we still haven’t solved the problem of how to find your glasses when you are not wearing your glasses. Much to consider.

if youre ever asked a difficult math question an acceptable answer is exploding into a jumble of shapes

Rehearsing to explain to tomorrow’s new doctor that I am late renewing, but yes, I still need my ADHD meds. You see, my usual doctor graduated, and no one told me who my new doctor was, so I couldn’t make an appointment because … that requires advanced levels of functioning that I do not have.

I’m mad at somebody but trying to process my feelings before I shout at them, and I gotta say, that lil’ gal Taylor Swift has some gems to belt out about being mad at a person if you happen to be mad a man.

me, Friday afternoon, cracking open East of Eden: this definitely won't be like last year w Lonesome Dove when I thought it would take all summer and then it destroyed the next three days of my life me, Tuesday morning, wild-eyed, twigs in my hair: does anybody want to talk about GOD and CALIFORNIA

Tried to start the Zellweger Judy Garland biopic with my mother-in-law but turned it off like 15 minutes in because she said it was “too sad.” Well, yes, we do know how it turned out, after all. So much for trauma-bonding with added show-tunes today, I suppose.

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

Reminder to turn off your alarm for tomorrow if you have Labor Day off work.

Making a grocery list when we just had to toss out the whole fridge after the power outage. It turns out that most of my wealth was held in condiments.

Bless up. The Georgia Bulldogs are on tv. Fall is now. (Yes, I just had to re-add my annual 4.5 month subscription to ESPN because I only watch my one team for their one game per week.)

Doing some grief crafting. It does help.

Running to my bed at 5 pm on a Friday, because there might be more storms later and I want to get some sleep while we still have power for the A/C and fan. Living the American Dream, Infrastructure Week edition.

Sure, our power was out for 11 hours, but did all the people without electricity until its widespread US adoption in the 1930s complain?!? Probably. They just didn’t know what they were complaining about yet.

Power outage, hour three. So tired, but a little too warm to fall asleep and a bit taut for the jump scare if and when it does come back on in the middle of the night. Goodbye to my refrigerator groceries. I will deal with you all in the morning.

Like 61k other people in Pittsburgh, we are without power. Just in the dark listening to White Lion from my phone.

Yes, I ordered some sale hiking socks, but I swear this was not the company I ordered from. I feel called out.

Awoke from a dream where I, a person with no prior musical talent or experience, had successfully been cast in Rent as a chorus member. After telling everyone I knew, I discovered the audition was not for the Broadway cast, as dream-me believed, but for a three week tour in Beverly Hills.

I was bummed that I didn’t have any Labor Day weekend plans but then I found out it is Rib Fest AND Soul Food Fest all weekend here in Pittsburgh, so now I will be weekending by eating my favorite cuisine, “food from a booth.”

Few things make me feel as fancy as being able to read one quote from an article in French without needing to translate it. I took four years of French in school over 20 years ago, and being a tacky unilingual American, I feel so *sophisticated* when I can still make sense of it in small doses.

If you want to keep your shoes, don’t body-shame the marmots

now that they make a gatorade that's 75% less sugar in addition to gatorade regular and gatorade zero i want gatorades that are available in 5% increments from 5% sugar all the way up to Gatorade 125 or Gatorade 150

A moment from Daisy Chain Fields. I highly recommend marrying someone whose favorite band, that you’ll end up seeing 100 times, is a band you also like. I married a Garbage Superfan and I have no regrets. I want to be Shirley Manson when I grow up.

dressage is stupid why are we letting horses dance we should teach them to do accounting and paperwork so we can be dancing

I felt them saw the boards for my casket as I overheard two people meet in the Daisy Chain Fields merch line. “Oh! You’re still going to music festivals in your 30s. That’s great!” “Yep! Just turned 30 in April. I mean, I don’t go as hard as I used to.”

There is so much amazing crop art this year at the Minnesota State Fair focused on the resistance to the ICE occupation we faced, this one in particular had me choked up.

i can't believe mitch mcconnell did or didn't live to see this

The Dark Wizard, former cat cryptid, will have you know that he is *not* in a human lap. He is just here protecting his orange friend from the human and kind of balancing on a foot under a blanket to be here. And he knows you call him Potato because he is a little round from eating so many treats.

Was not enjoying how frenzied my morning meditation recording felt today and then realized I was accidentally meditating at 1.3X speed.

Sometimes my brain forms a thought unbidden and loops it on repeat. Today’s was a nice one: If heaven wasn’t real, God would make one just for her.
