Rest in peace, Ozzy. You've definitely earned it. Thank you for the music I grew up on and go back to for comfort. Your music broke up so many sibling squabbles, it's honestly hilarious. 😭😭😭😭 Rock on into eternity

Am I drunk as a skunk on half a loganberry cider? Maybe, but the neon lights are beautiful and so am I.

I've fought like hell to grow this old, against others as much as myself, and my eyes show evidence of how much I've laughed despite it all.
I am joyful, and nobody and nothing can take that from me, because it's a choice I'll fight God herself to keep making.

A plain script of the events that've made up the framework of my life read like a tragedy but as I collect my signs of aging like trophies, my first wrinkles are smile lines and if that doesn't feel like the wildest, grandest victory I could stake in life, I don't know what could top it.

Trying to remind my senior cat he doesn't even like human food, and accidentally tried telling him he wouldn't like it, it's spicy. Hahaha, this doesn't even work on my niece or nephews.

Aside from the fact that I am trying to lose weight and I know I've got a less than petite bone structure, I'm never gonna be really skinny.
I'm a damn good cook and I live with me, it is always gonna be obvious at least a little that I eat good.
The chicken for my salads this week is bomb! 🔥💣

Fewer concerts and festivals and more museums, zoos, aquariums, and conventions. All things I'm interested in and wanted to make time for before, but it feels more pressing now than ever. It's weird, but kinda reassuring. It might make me less cool, but it's still very me. We'll see I guess.

Neither was the odd sense of responsibility hearing that somebody else's kid now also wants to emulate my childless life would instill in me.
I'm double hesitant to date now because I don't wanna pick wrong and set a bad example. I'm even making more of my trips educational this year.

There weren't really a lot of weird, single, well off aunties to tell me what I had to look forward to when I got older, but all the close friends and family with preteens and teens who want to be just like me when they grow up wasn't on my bingo card for all this.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).

You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

Not for nothing, but nearly a decade ago I tweeted that anything is a UFO if ur shitty enough at identifying it, and I don't think I was wrong.

I can confirm, from experience, it is absolutely possible to slam a boob in a door on accident. It does require being kind of an airhead to be distracted enough to manage it tho.

Do you ever order Chinese food for delivery and then have to get offended at how many fortune cookies they include? This is not that much food! 2 person meal at best!

remember folks class traitors are class traitors no matter their reasoning

It's finally the best time of year

For some reason I wasn't expecting the phrase "re-parenting your inner child" to feel so literal. Chicken tenders and tots for dinner and fresh baked brownies after a heavy talk and making hard decisions.

How're you feeling about having messed up the dinner ritual? Is their shaming working?

Downloaded an archive of my Twitter data and deleted my account. It feels tragic that since 2009 my favorite place to vaguepost about my feelings to the aether is essentially gone. I feel both grief and relieved.

I always thought the whole morophilia thing was a joke, so I didn't give it much thought, but I think that perhaps I should've.

it is not out of bravery that I post my thoughts online every day but my devout commitment to being a pest

Wild. What kind of pasta?

The fuck up at those places of work & around any microphones at all, don't put anything in writing digitally. Sometimes, you're gonna have to keep away from & keep uninformed about shit to keep people safe. It's going to suck, but safety comes first, not your feelings. Keep it secret, keep it safe.

Anything that connects to a network government bodies have paid for cannot be trusted with info you don't want fascists to have access to. Any accounts on those devices that connect to those networks shouldn't pass secrets you want to keep to keep folks safe around you. In addition to shutting 2/

Going to repeat a point I beat to death elsewhere, but digitally available information is inherently unsafe and unsecret information, doubly so if you receive your paychecks at the pleasure of the US government budget, either directly or indirectly. 1/

i’m gonna just watch this at least once a day and i recommend everyone do the same

I voted for the first time in about 3 years. I'm doing a lot of things again that used to be very regular for me until that point on my timeline. It feels very healthy and like a huge sign of healing and growth.

Panic-attack-for-no-good-reason disease strikes again. Thankfully, I know I'm not dying, and the world is not ending, and know tricks to force my body out of panic mode, now just to drag my brain, kicking and screaming, to join the rest of me in having a good day.

Sir, I have to feed the flesh prison. Come to think if it, did you eat when I slept or do you need to eat too?
We are disasters. Please send help.

My cat is at his most needy when I get home from work on time and immediately crawl into bed with him and carry him about snuggling and napping all day. The instant I get up to dress myself or try to research where to get food, he's a menace who's never been loved and needs to be held Now.
