Karateoke (special holiday edition)

sitting down to read The Watercourse Way, I am convinced that I understood Tao better before I tried to study it

wardogs launch is going well

I'm built different! <derogatory, exasperated>

Today was the first day this month I was able to both bend my left elbow 90 degrees, AND raise my left arm over my head hooray for slowly healing from unknown injuries. 44 is super fun and cool and good so far -_-

"you're not hungry. you just can't stand other people having food that isn't yours." and other tales from raising puppies

sentient marshmallow's first experience with no pull lead

I need everyone to say hello to my new, sweet, baby boy, Yuki!

Katherine Blanford was hilarious last night in SLC. Truly, that was a great time. one of her openers, Daniel ...something, called me out for "stonewalling" him though. I admit I'm not a great audience member when people throw out deeply homophobic remarks casually, especially in a comedy setting.

Arrow's little altar above my bed is finished, for now, with the arrival of this canvas print.

things that feel amazing: my home being clean and tidy. things are put away where they should be. know where everything is. things that never happen: house staying orderly. things being put away where they should be after use. walls/floors/countertops being cleaned regularly.

I may have gifted one of my neighbors a new pride flag because theirs was getting beat to shit by the weather over the years just as a nice random gift, because I love doing that kind of shit, truly and I may have also done it because the house across the street has this stupid sign in their window

Do you like Dr Pepper well enough, but think it would be vastly improved by mixing it with equal parts Robitussin? I have some great news for you!

"oops, I took my adderall again for two days in a row and now i'm cleaning the kitchen finally"

Quote post with something good that lasted longer than the Confederacy (1861-1865) Arrow, the bestest boy of all (2015-2026)

lol, bsky, lol

I applied to adopt a puppy in Huntington Beach on the extremely slim chance the foster picks me over all the locals and whoever else is clamoring for this precious baby

my headset has a cool hidden "matrix fuzz" flange feature. you just have to wear it in my kitchen when i turn on the microwave

I know it's worse for me right now because of Arrow dying, but holy SHIT it makes my goddamn blood boil when people abandon their pets for getting old. I would give my leg to take care of Arrow for another ten years of going deaf and senile, and people are just abandoning their babies out there‽

Crimson Desert: have you ever wondered what playing a beta version of a fantasy themed Red Dead Redemption would be like? Give us $70 to find out!

achievement unlocked: made your psychiatrist cry

Oil last monday: ~$69/barrel Oil right now: $112 Give a warm welcome back to record high gas prices any minute now. And remember, kids, when fuel costs more, everything costs more.

losing an hour for International Women's Day is institutionalized misogyny on a global scale~

being absolutely inundated with ads for Cuddle Clones right now feels sickeningly predatory

Took Arrow's toys and blanket for another walk. The neighbor that always barks at us did as usual, until I said "I'm sorry, buddy, he's gone. I'm so sorry." And they just stopped barking and looked sad. I know it's projecting to think they understood the words, but I think they understood overall.

I have many words. I'm just gonna put it in the alt text, because it will actually fit there.

Arrow will be leaving us tomorrow evening, so I'll finally have something to resent Friday the 13th for something Please take a moment to wish him a safe and comfortable journey, and maybe that he'll eat something good before he goes. And not to spend his money all in one place And we love him.

These photos are ten years apart to the day. The latest one is the last one taken before receiving the news that Arrow is in end stage kidney failure. He won't even eat string cheese at this point. Please hold your babies tight for us. At least I don't have to regret not loving him enough.

for someone who could not tell you when the last time they drank milk was, my diet sure is full of fermented milk and milk extracts. my diet lately is like: juice, yogurt, dried blueberries, cottage cheese, skyr, whey protein, peanut butter powder, oat milk, fiber gummies, and a handful of pills

I think that a good thing everyone could do for the world right now is any time you get hit with an AI interview, you answer every question with "REP. RE. SEN. TA. TIVE."

URGENT: ... It is our tenth anniversary. Arrow just thought you should know. We just went for a nice brisk walk, and Arrow will be doing whatever the hell he wants for the rest of the evening. (mostly eating string cheese and being adorable)

about ready to start a gofundme to replace my dying water heater with a tankless... if everyone who's ever wished I would go take a bath pitches in a dollar, this should be over pretty quickly~

when your son is finished at the salon and they let you know to pick him up

I am begging food writers to stop describing everything as "nutty." it gets applied to so many things it doesn't mean anything.

A reminder, from your pal, Andrew WK

fricken do it, you won't

the workout industry people like to tell you that nothing tastes as good as skinny feels, but they're lying in this context, it's the Optimum Nutrition vanilla ice cream protein powder, with two big spoonfuls of PB2 peanut butter powder, blended into a pint of oat milk

News cycle had my body giving me the choices of eat a whole pizza, or get back in the gym So I opted for back and biceps day (and some glute bridge)

I just want to remind my people that the most punk rock thing you can do right now is keep a level head and support your communities. They want us to panic. They want us to give up. They want us to isolate. Community is resistance.

Happy "I think I work here but I don't know what I do anymore" day to those who celebrate

"after putting a subscription on heated seats you already own, there's no way BMW could be any more anti consumer" BMW: "hold my jägermeister"

one of the worst parts about taking your dishwasher apart to clean it is there's nowhere I'd rather put all these disgusting parts to be cleaned than into the dishwasher, which is currently in pieces, to be cleaned

looking forward to the supercut tomorrow of all the awards being presented at the game awards tonight. Should be able to finish it on a smoke break.

25 years too late to do any good, but the journal that published the study that got all of us eating glyphosate finally retracted it. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The bright side of being told that Arrow dropped a pound (down to seven) and that he should really get back up to eight, is that I don't have to feel bad about eating string cheese in front of him. Here you go, little dude. Doctor's orders!

Arrested Development tried to tell us 33 years ago. I still listen to and love this album. Nothing's changed but the urgency. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8B8...

I am god's itchiest warrior
