Nerd, mom, wife, forever feeling stuck in spin cycle.

This is going to be a bonkers week. Tomorrow is my kid's picture day, Tuesday is my first mammogram, Saturday is a memorial for one of my husband's favorite college professors, which is two hours away. And next Sunday the dog gets groomed. At least there's a slight break in the middle.

Target paid its CEO $21.8M last year — 794x the median Target worker's pay of $27,506. Target has also spent $13.9B on stock buybacks since 2019, while remaining among the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients in America. This is what I mean by a rigged economy.

"Made" chickpea tikka masala tonight (aka opened two cans of chickpeas and cooked them in a jarred tikka masala sauce and dumped it over minute rice). Is it authentic? No. Is it mid? Yup. But I'm sick and it was quick, easy, and has a good amount of protein and fiber, so I'm calling it a win.

A lot of truth in this new cartoon from Nova Scotia's Bruce MacKinnon. BTW, King Dumbass is claiming (as usual, with no evidence) that Dolly Parton was a "huge fan" of him. Yeah, right.

Costco runs it's own rigorous food inspection program. And they didn't bend the knee on DEI. Plus, they dropped Callaway Golf after their horrific ad depicting violence against women. And they are refusing to carry trump meat. So that's where I'll be shopping.

I think the hardest part of the current political moment is realizing how many people around me are actually evil. Not stupid. Not misinformed. Not misguided. Just blatantly, openly enjoying and relishing the suffering of other human beings.

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people
