Prime & I went and did our civic duty yesterday. Does it feel like our little blue votes make a difference here? Nope. Did it feel good NOT voting for Marsha Blackburn? Fuuuuuuck yes it did.

Just me watching The Goddess Boys make a Maple Butter Pecan Double Chocolate Caramel Creamy Biscoff crushed ice Milkshake in order to regulate my nervous system.

I found out yesterday that my parents apparently met some dude at their church who was looking for a place to stay for a few weeks while he was apt hunting in the area & they were like “you can stay with us!” And he ended up living in their basement for 3 years. Wtf

I was just standing in my kitchen calling Alexa “Alaska” for like 5 minutes and was very confused as to why she wouldn’t respond to me. Hello, I’m apparently elderly.

I have to say that I thoroughly enjoy Lawrence Chaney’s absolute horror on Fashion Photo Ru View every time a Queen has those clear shoe straps on. Love👏it👏

It’s gotten to the point that 1 in every 5 ads on my Instagram feed are “are you tired of being constantly upset & burnt out? You should get an autism assessment” Like, yes, I get it. But also…stop it.

I like to slowly…sensually peel & eat string cheese while making sustained eye contact with the dog. Sometimes I’ll throw in a little “gosh I just have sooo much string cheese. I wish there was someone I could share this with…” as I continue to shove all of the cheese in my mouth & not share any.

I grew up in New England and every Chinese restaurant i went to had a Pu Pu Platter on the menu. But recently I realized that outside of New England, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Pu Pu Platter on a menu ever….are they a regional thing?

Anti-Prime Day starts…NOW! 🥳 Today through midnight on 10/7, enjoy free shipping site-wide, all while supporting local, independent bookstores.

I am really horrible at writing reviews for items that I have purchased, even when I am emailed and asked to write a review. It fills me with guilt.

I think I would be a really horrible super villain, but I could totally rock a dramatically flowing cloak. Evil deeds? No. Spinning around menacingly in an oversized chair while petting a fluffy cat? Yes, absolutely. Shaking my fist angrily at the sky while being foiled? I’m a natural.

I need to find a small business that’s LGBTQIA+/POC/Woman owned that makes really good wax melts that won’t break the bank, and I need suggestions. #waxmelts #smallbusiness #womanowned #queerowned #pocowned #lgbtqia #transowned

We’ve been watching the “Wonka’s the Golden Ticket” reality show on Netflix. It’s decent fun, the set is amazing, and it’s cool that it has no host, but the AI generated voice of Gene Wilder is a little jarring and genuinely creepy.

Listen TikTock, I don’t need these little passive aggressive notes. Sometimes mine & my husband’s algorithms overlap & we know what we like. Get all the way off my back.

I wish caffeine made me feel alert and energized or whatever it is that people get from it. It does nothing for me. If I have too much It makes me feel like my arms are going to fall off. #jealous

I never really understood those spicy Chuck Tingle-esq books that are like: “I’ve fallen in love/am having sex with [insert inanimate object and/or intangible concept here]” But this morning someone on my team posted a new reference spreadsheet in our slack channel and… I totally get it now.

“We come from a family of insufferable know-it-alls but those of us with self awareness know how to control that tendency.” (A member of my family said this & while I think I am relatively self aware, I’ve only been so for like 3 years so I still count myself among the insufferable)

The lift cylinder on my computer chair is dying, but luckily my manager didn’t notice that, over the course of our video call, I was ever so slowly sinking lower and lower in the frame.

You ever get that garlic bread from the grocery store bakery that’s like a fresh loaf that they split down the middle and smear in a metric ton of garlic butter & it comes in a foil bag that you bake it in? That shit is top tier.

Does anyone else know what I mean when I say “brown, Mexican, tiger blanket”? (Well, I had a tiger and my sister had a kitten cause…gender roles). But those were the fucking best. I miss those.

Me: “hi sales rep, I have the following questions: - should this be this or that? - does this need ABC or XYZ? - can you clarify if the customer needs 123 or 456? Rep: “yes please” Me: 😑

Just to feed into the capitalist monster a bit more in an effort to distract myself from ::points to everything in general:: all this. I’ve added a gingerbread tree to my already-too-big ceramic tree collection. It actually came out to be cheaper than if I got a blank tree & painted it myself.
