Or don't actually. After telling me that I was okay to shop because their registers still had power, they just told me to leave. Thanks for the waste of time, Kroger!

Gonna give a shout out to the man scream-singing Creed lyrics on his way home from work today. Way to get that nervous system back into ventral, my dude.
All of a sudden it feels like I'm hearing the word comfortability or uncomfortability all the time. Where did these words come from?
The two books on my bedside are Come As You Are and Betrayal Trauma Anger, lfg.

These kids better get ready for a bunch of Dum Dum lollipops this Halloween. Candy prices are out of the fucking world.
I need ideas for rituals for grief and release. This seems like a good BlueSky question.
Can only just barely hear the sounds of the concert in the graveyard while I'm lounging in the bathtub. No, I am not a Gothic princess although maybe I am.
I had a 100% positive experience at the DMV in Chicago this morning.
Shout out to these septuagenarian gals at Jewel buying tequila and a shitload of orange flavored vitamin water.
What do you do with a mammal this large when it dies? This is a serious question.

Going to have to fish out that toothbrush that I knocked into the drain last night
Really nice night to learn that my neighbor's gutters just don't work anymore

Good morning to anyone who sneezed into their own cleavage this morning.
Imagine being in your thirties, with kids, and wearing a TBOX shirt out in public.
Yikes to whomever parked near Kedzie and Grace. This haphazard demo job just bodied this car.
Really glad it's almost closed-windows season so I don't have to hear the chorus of huskies screaming every time a siren passes several miles away.
Send this to all your dads who watch Fox News and say "you couldn't pay me to visit Chicago"
@NewsJennifer (Jennifer Schulze)@newsjennifer.bsky.social · last mo.Yes, Chicago really is this incredible looking and we have lakefront parks stretching out for miles just like this one…
Can't stop thinking about Brunch with Babs pairing Boursin and Bugles because she had a Belgian friend recommend it. I hope this is an inside alliteration joke.
I just figured out why I work so hard to understand people in social situations and why it's always so disappointing never to be asked questions in reverse.
This is such a slap in the face. As a former at-home parent, I longed for at least social security credit for my work, but not on the backs of single working moms (which I am now. ) www.nytimes.com/2026/09/05/u...
