Ya’s what, now?? Marches to the drum of a different beater. Resident of Uncanny Valley.

Well, that’s fun. My pain clinic doc (who’s excellent) is retiring. He’s gotten me through quite a lot of lumbar/sacroiliac ‘fun,’ including S3-L2 radiculopathy (also fun) resulting from a rollover wreck in 2012. The clinic will still be here, just a different practitioner. Le sigh.

On today’s agenda: deciphering text that is now law, written by non-JD’s. I’m not a JD, but it’s an area of law w/which I’m v well acquainted. Do *not* mess w/that text, you’ll wreck it like pulling a loose thread on a sweater!

This is a photo of the late musician, Prince. He’s sitting down in front of a colorful background. He’s wearing a burgundy/purple mock turtleneck, a deep brown, faux fur jacket, and an excitingly chunky silver chain necklace. His head is tilted to the right of the frame & his eyes are closed; his expression is one of, “I cannot even.” 

The text at the top of the frame reads, “UMMM…”

The text at the bottom of the frame reads: “THIS IS EXACTLY WHY DOVE CRY.”

U.S. central std time is 12:54PM, the “feels like” temp is 94°F, outside air quality is bleh 🤢. I’ve consumed 3 cold brew coffees in order to be cogent, it’s not helping. I’m in an environment w/A/C + excellent filtration & want to nap real bad.

It’s 2:20PM CST & l’m drinking Stōk Cold Brew Coffee straight from a 48 fl oz bottle. This message brought to you by: TMI, A Raging Sinus Infection, + A Metric Sh*t Ton of Work to Get Done. Sponsored by: I see my doc on Friday morning (soonest availability).

I just watched the v last episode of ‘Euphoria.’ Coleman Domingo got me right in the feels. I’ve not been so very moved by a series, movie, or theater in a v long time. I ugly cried, not from sadness, but from the reminder that despite the U.S. shit show, art exists & keeps us human. ☮️

This author writes snippets about everyday observations of humans of all ages going about their lives. Today’s snippets made me roar with laughter. Note: best not to have food or drink in your mouth while reading these, especially the bits about cheese, & cheese toasties.

🧵Spotted On Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand: A dynamo of a small human (4?) is belting through the markets, long hair trailing behind her, pink dress flapping around her shins as she roars at the top of her voice: "IT'S CHEEEEEEESE TIME!" (1)

I recently watched “Honey, Don’t!” In a scene after the main character (Honey) makes it clear to a man who physically assaulted her niece that it was a huge mistake on his part, 1/?

I am doing entirely TOO MUCH braining & I do not like it. The good news is it’s temporary, & I’m on vacation as soon as the braining is complete. It’s important to have that motivation. Kthanxbai!

News: Eric Swalwell isn’t. My partner, “what is it with men who get a little bit of power!?” Me: “what is it with …. men?” Partner: “well… um, yes.” 37 years of cishet marriage. He gets *it* & always has.

Has anyone on this platform used the car rental service “Turo (Car sharing)?” It seems to be a model similar to Vrbo, AirBnB, but for autos. Good? Bad? Trustworthy? Avoid? Feedback would help me make a more informed decision @ whether to use the service. Thanks in advance!

It’s a day. MRI results: lumbar & sacral nerve impingement, aka radiculopathy. It’s not pretty fun. My brain is full of cortisol as pain is wont to do, & it makes me > stoopid than my norm. I left my wallet at home, but have my 👜. My brain:

a man in a purple shirt is making a funny face and says `` what is hat '' .

Alt: This gif is from comedian Brian Regan’s routine about the pain of being stupid (both for the subject & the people around them). As an example of such “stupid,” he looks around making odd faces, and says, “What is hat?”

#BlueCy what’s the ⬆️/⬇️ on whether the damned glass floor is yeeted & the damned hardwood back? When a player slips & ends up in the splits … ya got some major issues w/new tech… I hope that fella is OK. Unprepared splits? Hello, groin pull. Yikes! (It’d be a gnarly decision tree, tho)
