So true, Philly. So true.

She’s baaaaaaack…

Days like today make me so glad I don’t have a student-facing role. 🥴

A beaver saw the sun and now I gotta freeze? This system is unworkable.

This stretch of sub-freezing temps has frozen my will to function (which was already pretty low).

This is the most Philadelphia article. 😂

The FATTEST raccoon was on the porch earlier this week when I got home. She was kinda my idol.

And there have been short-term guests.

Losing Meanie got me thinking of all the porch pals we’ve had over the years. 😢

One of our porch pals has crossed the rainbow bridge. Meanie was actually a sweet girl for a feral street cat. You couldn’t pet her, but she still liked when people were around. She lived on our block ever since we moved here 10+ years ago. I’ll miss her goofy face.

Working for a university forces you to act like a mob boss because what do you mean I’m keeping two sets of books, one for what is being charged and one for what is going to be charged once they get around to publishing the fringe rates for FY26. It’s Q3, you wangs!

I would die for her so there’s no chance I would wake her from her snuggle nap. 😂

I should get up and do stuff but also, why?

There’s something so titillating about when the Cane’s cashier yells, “Hot, fresh chicken for Colin!”

Cause why would Xi Jinping want to flood my basement and rust my Bowflex? To what end? 🎶TO WHAT END?!🎶

Gritty and the Phanatic

Heated Rivalry but with:

Hanging with the most diva of divas. (And @talltbh.bsky.social and @classicsftw.bsky.social)

Suffer my inane snaps, besties. 👻

Got these for my desk, and it’s really the little things that make me not want to claw my eyes out. 😂

Nothing like when you wake up with a good vibe only for it to be crushed by SEPTA. 😭

Finished Pluribus and started Task. What other series do I need to catch up on?

You gotta join me over here in Club FOBI, sis.

Left the house for the first time since Thursday. It was not worth it.

We saw you from across the couch and we like your vibe.

I love Philly so much

Back home with my cats, wearing my comfy, and loafing for a day or two to recover.

Sooooooooon! 😭

The face of someone ready to make the 11 hour drive home tomorrow. The exhaustion of being around family has hit.

“How will you enter 2026?”

Me:
