I’m stuck in traffic coming home from the river, driving 25 MPH west of Sacramento. Blame it on Me by Barenaked Ladies is playing. I remember thinking the following line was the most adult tableau “I wax poetic as your waxing your legs / you say you think there’s a traitor among us.”

I wish I could sit in the grass with you at a weird cemetery and ask you if you knew that deer frolic in the ocean waves in California. You’d be quiet and shake your head no. Then you’d probably start to cry. I’d lay back and stare at the sky and cry too. That’s the whole daydream.

You guys seeing Ryan Adams crashing out and selling his stuff on Instagram? He’s telling people to email his manager, and scolding them not to low ball. Surely he can contact an auction house?

I was commuting home today on the BART and I had this overwhelming disgust over the fact that a guy I dated for 2 years wore Old Navy flip flops almost exclusively.

Especially sticky in regulated industries

every company: we've added AI to solve this problem me: ok but that problem is deterministic with easy to measure input parameters. you can just make regular software

I know some people hate it but the best part of being pregnant for me was when a random lady in a parking lot would ask if she could touch my stomach and pray for the baby.

A SECOND person died of exposure last winter after DHS dumped them in the middle of nowhere, miles from their home, without notifying their family.

The death of a woman from Haiti seeking asylum in the U.S. who died from hypothermia days after her release from federal custody was ruled a homicide by a Pennsylvania county medical examiner's office.

Men will tolerate a woman’s undying love for Taylor Swift but not Barenaked Ladies FYI

Son: Low key we could just listen to Romeo + Juliette on the drive. Me: Like listen to the movie? Son: Yeah.

At SFO: a flight boarding for Bakersfield announced gates open for service members and the passengers started clapping and holding and losing their minds. Is this happening now? You know this war isn’t protecting our freedom right?

At night I say “come on dogs, let’s take off your bras,” and by that I mean their harnesses. And every night I think I am the funniest girl.

I found the Goodreads of former law school classmate who was so condescending to me over my tech career. He went, months later, to give talks on AI (after asking me what legal tech even was). He gave Grapes of Wrath 3 stars.

I looked at the Good Reads reading list of a bunch of my exes and it’s all doctrinal non-fiction for Christ sake what is wrong with me ugh ugh ugh Why don’t I think I deserve better

If the crucifix is in play for Freddy Kruger does that mean he is part of the extended Christian universe?

Here we go again with that sexy lesbian Garfield sheep

Joe Biden is the Dave Grohl of the Obama Administration

My hottest take is that people and animals evolved to build relationships with each other and honestly sometimes that shit doesn’t click. I have had pet dogs to whom I felt persistently and deeply indifferent. And ones that I still actively grieve.

On @maintenancephase.bsky.social I heard @michaelhobbes.bsky.social say that if he saw Khloe Kardashian and Kroeger, he wouldn’t recognize her. I actually did see her at a restaurant in Cleveland, Ohio and said, really loud, “they let people in here dressed any kind of way huh?”

“With your long blonde hair you looked like a Brazilian politician. With your extra short dark hair, you look like a Mexican artist.” - best comment about my hair change up

I think I miss having babies but then I see new moms pushing whole mobile nursery units down the road with some dude in flip flops and soft hands and one of those silicone wedding bands and I’d rather throw myself off a cliff

Maybe this should be a Cleveland memory log because I started giggling in a meeting about the Cleveland archetype of the moody sober middle aged man-lawyer with a troubled relationship to his kids mom.

Of all the awfully grim pieces of Cleveland history, the speed boat flying into the stands at Sea World Ohio in 1996 seems remarkable and only matched by the circus elephant that got loose on the high school campus and made its way to the Big Lots.

Is My Chemical Romance ashamed of themselves?

I’m better than you because I grew up on a Boulevard

The coldest shit that Jesus ever said “To he who has much, much will be given. To he who has little, even that will be taken away.” Mathew 13:12

Something about me is that I’m 41 and I do not do highway driving.

I won’t come back to Cleveland until you all clean up the mess you made with the IX Center.

Driving from Joshua Tree back to the Bay in a Subaru Solterra is allowing me to live out my dreams of flying a prop plane across the country taking all these damn calculated stops Jesus Christ

All the old people you knew as a kid are dead. - my son

I think whatever sound made up the 2010’s electro-alternative was informed by the emergence of the Planet Fitness 10/m plan.
