A four panel cartoon by Owlturd.com depicting a pink creature in a box. In the first panel, it reads "maybe I don't have to be so tough." In the second panel the creature opens the box to step out and says "maybe I can be vulnerable sometimes." In the third panel, the creature is punched in the gut. The last panel shows the creature safely enclosed in the box, but with even thicker walls, with the words "never again."

Mood.

Although I always say "never again," then inevitably info dump to someone I think is safe, only to repeatedly find out the hard way that I suck at reading people and their utter lack of interest in anything I say.

Unless it's a dumb musing about an old TV show, I guess.

This is the worst possible time for heartburn to join forces with heartbreak, I really need sleep

Of all my random ass posts to escape containment, why tf was it that one

I can still hear this gif

"So Long, London" by Taylor Swift Lyrics: So how much sad did you think I had, Did you think I had in me? How much tragedy? Just how low did you think I'd go? Before I'd self implode

I did this to myself, tbh

An excerpt of the lyrics from Taylor Swift's "Down Bad" that read: I loved your hostile takeovers Encounters closer and closer All your indecent exposures How dare you say that it's-

I'm gonna need more wine for this, aren't I

Fellas, if we were as angry as we should be, there would be A LOT of blood in the streets.

Count yourselves lucky and STFU before we cross the "I'll give you something to cry about" line.

Starting the full listen through of the Anthology a bit late in the day, but I was running errands and meal prepping (whilst listening to a podcast)

Yeah, I'll do that sometimes when I have a weird schedule day (e.g. have a 3am meeting and get to punch out early). But I hate having to go in even to just pick up prescriptions.

I'll do delivery with Costco, especially since there is never a time that my Costco is not busy (and they don't offer a pickup option)

I do pickup - I'm less likely to impulse buy random stuff by ordering on the app. And it saves me the ass pain of dealing with the general public.

A text screenshot that reads "best thing you and dad ever gave me is my sister"

My oldest daughter sent me this earlier today, I still haven't recovered

Me too

She did. That scene always stuck with me, ever since I saw the show when it first aired.

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.

Y'all remember that show from the 90s, Ally McBeal?

Everyone got hung up on the dancing baby, but the scene where she finds out her crush is married and imagines getting hit in the chest with arrows is what I always think of.

I refuse to use it, bjt I've seen people (field grades and civilians/contractors I work with) resorting to AI for things that AI just can't replace (e.g. they will only read AI summaries of books and reports rather than read the reports themselves.. even human-written EXSUMs miss nuance).

Don't forget having AI jammed down our throats

Tim Curry IS VERY MUCH ALIVE.

It is his birthday so he is trending because people are gushing about how great he is, which is deserved.

Needs to be the DNWS print, but otherwise approved!

Happy two ✌️ years of TTPD for all those who celebrate

Lyrics from Billie Eilish "Blue"

Ope, time to call it a night.

Sucks being in a drastically different time zone from most of my friends (platonic or otherwise) and generally allergic to dating apps. Alas.

Neighbor's kid is probably asleep, so for my own sake I turned the music volume down to a "not too obnoxious outside my apartment" volume.

Brownies are cooling, I still have a substantial amount of wine available to drink, but am missing a key piece (namely someone to fold me like a lawn chair).

Boooo stupid moths

Nope, nevermind, found the song I will sing along to really loudly

Ghirardelli rarely lets me down. Hence whenever I visit SF and want to give folks the nickel tour of the piers, I will park near Ghirardelli and buy chocolate to get the parking validation.

(To be clear, I am in a different time zone, so I am awake at a normal time rn - but I routinely struggle with insomnia)
