Regular ol’ middle-aged Midwestern mom: Vegetarian. Heart attack survivor. I was dead-ish for about five minutes. Tongue-tied. No middle name. Ate fire once. She/her. That about covers it.

*patting your arm* Rest assured if you ever caught your belt loop on a door fixture & became trapped, I would rescue you & then we could wander the earth sharing adventures & wisdom.

Ossoff: "Maybe you saw that Donald Trump was in Dalton yesterday, oblivious to the collapse of his presidency. A crowd smaller than this one enduring two hours of senile babbling while the price of oil hit its 5 month high"

Trump: *says horrible thing* the media: he didn’t actually mean it Trump: no I definitely one hundred percent meant it

Trump: You wanna see trauma? I said it the other day. Let them hit a missile into San Diego or Los Angeles.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

Thinking of service professionals as part of your community & not your staff is a lost value (& skill frankly) for too many. Gotta sit everyone down & make them watch the Sesame Street “These are the people in your neighborhood” song w/their eyeballs preyed open like a clockwork orange.

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

My favorite typo was the many times “pubic schools,” “pubic libraries” and the like appeared in our newspapers’ archive back in my journalism days.

“THE DREAM” IS DEAD. A SUMMER SEASON come and gone with NAUGHT a SINGLE SIGHTING of our beloved HOT MUSTARD DORITOS. The DEMONS AT FRITO-LAY have kept from us the THING OF JOY for which HEARTS ACROSS THIS NATION CLAMOR. They KNOW what the PEOPLE want, and they CARE NOT. SHAME! SHAME TO FRITO-LAY!

ceej@ceej.online

TRAGEDY! WILL HOT MUSTARD DORITOS not arrive even to HONOR the NATION that BIRTHED THEM? And WHY? Is it COWARDICE, that BASE DEFECT lurking in the HEARTS of ALL SMALL MEN? NO. Plainly I say: it is EVIL. The DEVIL HIMSELF is seated on his THRONE in the board room of FRITO-LAY — HELL IS HERE

This late-Friday news from Novartis regarding Horizon, its pelacarsen trial, is a real gut-punch. I survived a heart attack at 41, and have spent the last four years as a Horizon participant. I had so much hope for this. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/04/s...

nytimes.comThe Heart Drug Pelacarsen Fails, Shocking Novartis and Cardiologists (Gift Article)Doctors were hopeful the drug, which was being tested in a large clinical trial by Novartis, was going to be a powerful new tool to fight heart disease.

Today I led a group of 10 Cub Scouts in making sunprints. It was 92° with 1000% humidity and the 8- and 9-year-olds had the focus of caffeinated gnats and sweat poured from me like a gajillion mini Niagaras, soaking my clothes and dripping onto their art. That was 6 hours ago; I’ve nearly recovered.

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

In a world full of the destructive kookiness of people like RFK Jr, strive to fill it with a little of the restorative kindness of Dolly Parton.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Already loved this story of this Philly queen who confronted a Chucky masked man harassing a jogger and kicked him in the chest so much but knowing that we can thank "years of stage combat training at the University of Arts in Philadelphia" makes it even better: www.nytimes.com/2026/08/20/u...
