I need to complain about something I can’t talk about so I’m not going to use my words I’m going to use Big Birds. In no particular order, my last few days at work have been:
snot factory
@emru.bsky.social
haunted skeleton in santa ana. fuck ice. fan of the devil’s lettuce, not of the devil’s advocate. amateur cat herder, professional technical incident response and analysis. em or emily, she or they.
okay I feel like its been enough time since the Widow’s Bay finale to say this, but Jeff Hiller’s face, walking back into the bunker after watching those films, was the most terrifying part of the entire show. (complimentary)
as far as I’m concerned, the fact that multiple plumbers, electricians, and HVAC techs have told my husband that he has “kind eyes,” is the greenest flag there is.
hey babes remember to find ways to casually work “hey meta stop recording” into your conversations at bars now.
you ever think about how manufactured pearls are made by intentionally adding an irritant inside an oyster? that the oyster is reacting to something harmful and covering it in layers to protect itself and we do it on purpose because the end result is pretty?
it was just announced at ComicCon that Ryan Gosling is going to be playing Ghostwriter, a ghost who helps a group of children solve crimes in the 90’s.
the phrase “tea tree oil reduces cannibalism” is now lodged deep in my brain waiting to resurface at the least opportune time.
tfw your cannibalism is reduced
“tell your boyfriend, I know he’s got beef, but I’m a vegetarian so I ain’t fuckin scared of him” is still poetry to me.
I think this comic should pop up in gitblame when the usernames match
just a friendly reminder to listen to Berghain by Rosalía again it’ll be just as good if not somehow even better than the last time I swear

I love you central air conditioning. I love you ceiling fans. I love you little fan on my desk pointed at my face. I love you little portable fan I keep in my bag. I love you wearable fan I can have around my neck.
have they given any awards to Law Roach for styling Zendaya’s red carpet looks this year? do they do a Nobel prize in styling?
you can lead a horse to water but you can’t teach a horse to fish
I still don’t know why it’s called the inland empire and I don’t think I even wanna know anymore.

RIP Bonnie Tyler. And RIP Tandi Iman Dupree. This remains the best stage entrance by a drag queen of all time, even some 25 years later, and the best use of Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero” ever. youtu.be/IHQA5vqn6rw?...
I SCREAMED, oh my god, unmute this now

I love when I know I need a break. And I haven’t taken a break. So my body decides, it is time to break. Then I have to take a break. But it’s not a good relaxing break. It’s my body falling apart. I’m not sure if this is a feature or a bug.
why am I putting in effort to analyze data and provide insights when coworkers are using AI to do the same task in much less time. does the output have the same value? I don’t know how to prove that my hours of cognitive work is in any way worth the time and energy it takes in comparison.
idk it seems to me that we should investigate anybody saying shit like “I don’t care if he might be a rapist, he’s still a good candidate” about Graham Platner. the gentlemen doth protest too much, methinks.
