Oof. This would be me.

I’m with Kat… which is why I don’t have a Costco membership. Better for my wallet that way.

Sounds like she should paint the ceiling! (Make it blue so the ceiling fan can be “clouds” in the sky)

… can you tell I live in an apartment I’m not allowed to paint?

This week Historians At The Movies talks about the 80s, New York City, and the end of the world. Join us on Netflix this Sunday, April 26 and 8pm eastern for GHOSTBUSTERS (1984).

Call on #HATM by sharing and we'll see you soon

@drrgibsongirl.bsky.social you should show her yours!

May you have worn enough layers and the sun be warm enough so you don’t freeze. Go, Sox!!

Happy Monday!

Kids bedding with dinosaur skeletons neatly labelled science style

I will never understand Instagram Influencers who do their kids bedrooms in shades of greige because like. stuff designed for kids actually slaps

Thrilled to announce I’m not ready to go back to work on Monday:

Absolutely incredible.

NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.

Watch with sound on.

Lentils and beans are making a popular comeback in trendy one pot recipes.

👏 👏

Have they ever played Cards Against Humanity?? If not, they should!

I won’t be joining tonight, but I hope you all have great fun watching and discussing The Menu! #HATM

Totaling adding this to my slide on antisuffragists and anti-ERA activists speaking in public and getting petitions signed so women… would stay in the private sphere.

I miss this show.

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.

Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.

Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.

Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

I mean… it’s very Canton.

THE BACKPACKS

That, or the house is perfect as it is!

Schrödinger's Strait

Lived in NYC but doesn't know what a "corner store" is

We truly are ruled by morons

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.

The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.

It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

To me, this is sheer brilliance!

See! Going off the vibes DOES work! 😂

Are you otherwise okay??
