How’s my day going? It’s not even 9AM & I’m eating popcorn & drinking my 2nd cold brew coffee of the day. Not exactly ideal, but needs must & all that.

Well, that’s fun. My pain clinic doc (who’s excellent) is retiring. He’s gotten me through quite a lot of lumbar/sacroiliac ‘fun,’ including S3-L2 radiculopathy (also fun) resulting from a rollover wreck in 2012. The clinic will still be here, just a different practitioner. Le sigh.

It me!!!!

Saturday & you! Time to repose, luxuriate, decompress, unbend, bask, take your ease, or just sit down & relax. Whatever you do, or have mind to do; do it. Just like you leaped (or leapt) through the past week. Let’s go! Be careful. Be safe. Be shiny. Be glimmer. Be you to the full. Take no shit.

Okay, you don’t have to play, but this thread yields much stellar hysterical laughter inducing medicine. We can all use a bit of that

for a junk drawer to legally qualify as a real junk drawer, what is the ONE absolute mandatory item it must include? a mysterious key that does not unlock any thing

On today’s agenda: deciphering text that is now law, written by non-JD’s. I’m not a JD, but it’s an area of law w/which I’m v well acquainted. Do *not* mess w/that text, you’ll wreck it like pulling a loose thread on a sweater!

U.S. central std time is 12:54PM, the “feels like” temp is 94°F, outside air quality is bleh 🤢. I’ve consumed 3 cold brew coffees in order to be cogent, it’s not helping. I’m in an environment w/A/C + excellent filtration & want to nap real bad.

It’s 2:20PM CST & l’m drinking Stōk Cold Brew Coffee straight from a 48 fl oz bottle. This message brought to you by: TMI, A Raging Sinus Infection, + A Metric Sh*t Ton of Work to Get Done. Sponsored by: I see my doc on Friday morning (soonest availability).

I just watched the v last episode of ‘Euphoria.’ Coleman Domingo got me right in the feels. I’ve not been so very moved by a series, movie, or theater in a v long time. I ugly cried, not from sadness, but from the reminder that despite the U.S. shit show, art exists & keeps us human. ☮️

Error! I omitted the first observation.

🧵Spotted On Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand: A dynamo of a small human (4?) is belting through the markets, long hair trailing behind her, pink dress flapping around her shins as she roars at the top of her voice: "IT'S CHEEEEEEESE TIME!" (1)

This author writes snippets about everyday observations of humans of all ages going about their lives. Today’s snippets made me roar with laughter. Note: best not to have food or drink in your mouth while reading these, especially the bits about cheese, & cheese toasties.

I recently watched “Honey, Don’t!” In a scene after the main character (Honey) makes it clear to a man who physically assaulted her niece that it was a huge mistake on his part, 1/?

2/2 Aunt Honey slaps an “I HAVE A VAGINA AND I VOTE” bumper sticker over the misogynist bumper sticker on the truck of the man with whom she’d clarified appropriate behavior towards one’s partner. Do with that what you will.

I am doing entirely TOO MUCH braining & I do not like it. The good news is it’s temporary, & I’m on vacation as soon as the braining is complete. It’s important to have that motivation. Kthanxbai!

News: Eric Swalwell isn’t. My partner, “what is it with men who get a little bit of power!?” Me: “what is it with …. men?” Partner: “well… um, yes.” 37 years of cishet marriage. He gets *it* & always has.

Has anyone on this platform used the car rental service “Turo (Car sharing)?” It seems to be a model similar to Vrbo, AirBnB, but for autos. Good? Bad? Trustworthy? Avoid? Feedback would help me make a more informed decision @ whether to use the service. Thanks in advance!

It’s a day. MRI results: lumbar & sacral nerve impingement, aka radiculopathy. It’s not pretty fun. My brain is full of cortisol as pain is wont to do, & it makes me > stoopid than my norm. I left my wallet at home, but have my 👜. My brain:

#BlueCy what’s the ⬆️/⬇️ on whether the damned glass floor is yeeted & the damned hardwood back? When a player slips & ends up in the splits … ya got some major issues w/new tech… I hope that fella is OK. Unprepared splits? Hello, groin pull. Yikes! (It’d be a gnarly decision tree, tho)

Maggie Gyllenhaal’s “The Bride” is amazing. The scene w/‘Monster Brain’ is ACCURATE. I’ve always had, & know many ♀ who’ve got it: we’re not objects, & don’t owe anyone access to our bodies/minds/time & it’s exponentially true for differently-abled, & women of color. www.thebridemovie.com

I bought a fancy coffee from a local brewer on my way to work. It’s almost lunch time, & I just remembered: “Hey! I bought a fancy coffee on my way to work! I should drink some of that!” So, how’s your day going?

Telework fun: our cat, Rudy-Roo walked on my laptop & scheduled a new virtual meeting. Preeeeety sure he wants me to some provide shoestring tosses. Sorry, dude, I have an actual virtual meeting.

This thread really lifted my spirits. If I’m wrong, I don’t wanna be right.

Yeah, man, the only difference between your career and Mark Rufallo’s career is the political stuff.
