Just finished rescheduling my dental cleaning for the third time, after a nine-month waitlist and botching the paperwork twice. Hope springs eternal.

I wish I spoke bird. I'd like to offer feedback on some of the nesting locations I'm seeing this spring.

Was being so very calm and normal about all the Lanc-cast-ters and Plain button nonsense in this week’s Witness Blank Check and then they started calling Galadriel a wood-elf and I think this episode might have been developed in a lab to make me sign up for a Reddit account

The 2026 Baltimore Book Festival has been on my calendar since last September, by comparison, and I'm probably not even going to be able to go.

I consider myself relatively well-informed on bookish/lit news and events around town, but for the third year running I've only seen a CityLit brochure/schedule roughly 24 hrs before the event is supposed to start. Maybe I'm just ootl or not following the right people, but idk

on a scale of 1 to 100, my support for democracy and protecting everyone's right to vote is 99. but i admit it used to be 100 before reading some of your tweets

These are just wonderful:

Driving in Baltimore must be so fun if you're stupid. Walking into work I watched a retired cop car drive the wrong way up the Cathedral St bike lane, turn onto Franklin, and then turn the wrong way down Park Ave.

A page from Jenny Diski’s book “Stranger on a Train,” with the section: “Somehow I was surprised to see them out and about, though I shouldn't have been, because Hollywood has included the Amish in its shadow story of America, and, in Witness, precisely travelling by train. Still, the point of Amish in a movie, even if they are in Grand Central Station and observing a murder, is that they are Amish and their being out of their usual context was the axis of the plot. But here their unreality was startling.”

I did SCOOCH the leaves, a little, just to make sure my perennials are happy. 🌼

My adjoining neighbors mulched their garden and it looks so nice and I am seriously debating a sign or something so people know I am leaving the leaves On Purpose For The Pollinators and this is why my garden looks Like This and it is GOOD, REALLY

Unfortunately during my appeal I would presumably have to pronounce "pain au chocolate" in front of a french person, after which I would almost definitely be guillotine'd

Had a really annoying morning, decided to treat myself to a pastry, and ended up spending more than $5 on a pain au chocolate that could fit in the palm of my hand. Surely this is grounds for France to consider my asylum case.

The building where I worked was demolished ten years ago, so there's no way it's ghosts........... right?

For a few weeks I've been working on a short essay about my first job and ever since, all of a sudden, I've been getting multiple spam calls a day from that same small town.
