Made whipped cream for the first time tonight. Apparently, according to one person on Threads, I should *not* be proud of myself for that, but I say, “get in the sea,” to that person. I put a liter of heavy cream in the bowl, and added 1/4 cup of white sugar and 1 teaspoon of coconut extract. 🤤

The joys of having to add funds to my mobile phone in the UK to contact my mobile phone carrier in the US to fix the line for me so I could get SMS messages again to verify my identity with my mobile carrier in the US. 🫩

Last night, I had a FaceTime call with "TOTGA" (ask if you need to). During our conversation, it came to me that I could identify at least 4 places that were meaningful to both of us for various reasons, including our first (and only) trip together. She came up with more, and I agreed with all.

Spend some time with your significant other(s), learning all the places you remember that are meaningful to you. Talk about why they're important to you. Maybe even set up a #What3Words account and save them all to your favorites, then share the words when the memory pops into your head.

Anyone else renew their passports this year and thoroughly confused by the sheer of thick plastic they printed your info on before they inserted it into the newly redesigned passport book? 🤔

So, one of my fears about the current admin has been allayed: I just got my new passport hand-delivered to me by a very friendly Royal Mail carrier. For those not following along, I sent it off for renewal 2.5 weeks ago from the US Embassy in London, and I *already* have it back. 😓

The last 12 hours have frankly been a bit frantic for me. I gained clarity on something ‘the one that got away’ said to me 9 years ago directly from her. 🤯 We’ve remained friends since our relationship kind of just…stopped…when we were separated by an ocean against our wills.

I’m going out for a haircut now, and having lunch with some friends nearby in a couple hours. Why, yes, I *am* avoiding doing the household chores I need to do. I live alone, and I know exactly what needs done. I can do it later. 😤 😭

Here is a list of town halls taking place next week that you should show up at. I am sorry, I mean Chuck Schumer’s book parties. If there are any missing, please add in the replies. The only thing he should be doing today is cleaning out his office.

while newsom is hosting nazis on his podcast, walz is out there doing the work that matters

NEW from me - Tim Walz is headed back out on the road – this time, for a tour of House districts represented by Republicans who have stopped holding in-person town halls amid the raucous receptions some of their colleagues have gotten across the country. www.cnn.com/2025/03/12/p...

I looked down at the corner of the bathtub, standing in the steaming rain from the shower head, looking for the bottle of shampoo I knew was there. Pulling the shower curtain away from it so I could grab it, I see something that startles me, reeling back quickly to avoid it getting on me.

Without warning, the magnet turns into that giant roach I thought I saw and scrambles up the wall, out of reach. Magic? In my house? Not today, roach. Not today. Grabbing the salt from the counter, I pour a bit in my hand, soak it with the shower, and launch it like a water balloon.

The splash hits the roach on the ceiling, shattering the glamour audibly, the weirdness of that lost almost immediately as a small woman clad in what looked like wool shrieked in a language I didn’t understand and disappeared. Don’t ask why there was salt on my counter. If you know, you know.

No sound but the droplets hitting the bathtub, me trying to see whatever it was without my glasses on, and I breathe a sigh of relief. The magnet in the bottom of my shower curtain looked like a giant roach in my unfocused eyes, and I chuckled under my breath at the weird fear.

I just found a bunch of people on my Facebook feed making some racist AF comments about Beyoncé winning best country album at the Grammy’s last night. “That’s not real country! She didn’t deserve it! [insert white country artist here] deserved it so much more!” Fuck off with that shit.

Revelation 13:16-17 Y’all know I’m far from a Christian. But it’s getting pretty wild to see how closely Trump and Musk keep on aligning with the Beasts of the sea and the earth from Revelation. Silver lining: Revelation ends with all those who worship the Beast(s) eating shit.

In case it's not obvious, musk is now the unelected leader of the US. trump remains a figurehead He has taken over all access to US govt funds. He has the data stored in all USG systems He can, for example, choose to only send Medicare payments to MAGAts www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

Dox these fucking traitors and destroy their lives.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
