my theory about the Proclaimers is that one guy does the guitar and the other guys does the maths

I was determined to ignore it. Watched one episode & it's so good. Like a warm hug. That perfect balance of the humor and pain of life. Can't believe they captured it again.

Anyway, I'm at a concert for the first time in 6 months. And I'm excited, but also just... tired. Grief has a way of making you haunt your own life. But I got myself here. And that's enough for today.

I skipped the two I already had tickets for in September/October. And after she died, I couldn't get myself to go to any. I'd buy a ticket & then not go. I was right outside the venue for one of them & just couldn't bring myself to go in.

I love concerts. When my dog got sick late last summer, I had hoped going to the concerts I already had tickets for would let me feel some joy & catch my breath emotionally. Keep me afloat while I was falling apart taking care of her. It didn't. I was just anxiously wishing I was home.

I totally get that some people get clarity, strength, etc. from looking at ADHD (and the like) as a superpower.

My (late-diagnosed) ADHD and OCD are not. They're under control (OCD) and managed (ADHD) right now, but they have been debilitating, and it's 100% okay to say so.

Are there upsides to my OCD & ADHD? Sure.

Do they affect every goddamn day of my life, even though the OCD is under control & the ADHD is somewhat managed?They do.

Have they absolutely destroyed parts of my life? Yes. 100%, yes, and I'd be rid of them in a heartbeat.

I've been forced to resort to buying wide-legged, baggy jeans... and I will never forgive zoomers for this betrayal 😒

It's not that I have a problem going out to a nice place for dinner by myself. I do it a lot because I want to & I can. But also, I act weirder than if I'm with people 🙃

Still frame from M*A*S*H with Hawkeye, Klinger and BJ working on their gin distilling setup.

Americans this summer

Me all week: I'm not ready for another dog
Me after 3 sips of a cocktail: I should call about that dog 🥺

Today is day 127 of the ICE occupation of MN.

ICE is still here. Neighbors are still being abducted.

So we’re here too. Still carrying whistles. Still standing watch in our neighborhoods. Still doing mutual aid.

Still fighting for ICE OUT EVERYWHERE.

genuinely think people outside of America don't realize how big this place is, how militarized and murderous our police are, how little our politicians care, how disconnected and impoverished we have been intentionally made to be, how we still have slavery just with extra steps. we really suck gang

Monday is the day for boops!

A series of three tweets: Rabbi Akiva Weisinger @MisfitTorah 1) For those wondering why I, an Orthodox Rabbi, am outraged by the Texas trans law, aren't I supposed to stand up for Torah Values or whatever A thread: 2) I don't like it when kids kill themselves. 3) End of thread.

Just going to leave this here.

A very important question this Easter.

You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch

This quote from Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell has been in my head the last few days

Precision strike from his Holiness, lmao

Excommunicate Vance, please, I beg, it would be the right thing to do and also so, so funny

Restaurant websites that only let you view their menu through clicking "Order Now" must be destroyed. Sometimes we just want to look at the menu.

Thank you! 🙏
It hurts, but it's not as deep as I thought it was. It should heal up fine 🙌

On my way out of the ER 😅
Good to know the docs have a sense of humor

I really wanted to ask the triage nurse how many Pitt jokes she hears a day

Accidentally stabbed myself with a knife while I was unloading the dishwasher.

*Pull up to the ER*
*My dad worried about my hand*
Me: "I hope Noah Wylie's here" 🤔

Thank you to all the organizers of the No King rallies in Michigan.

You're connecting like-minded individuals who all share the same goal of continued representative government here and across the country.

No matter what some antagonists may say, reminding us that we are not alone is always good.

Regular people: *Take sip of drink* "Is this regular or diet?"

Me: *Can smell that it's diet*

Its-a me

the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group
