I was initially like “wow, she’s super intimidating,” and no it turns out, no, she’s just brilliant, anxious, and incredibly symmetrical.

bob 's burgers says thank you for loving me thank you for being there . Alt: Bob’s Burgers, Thanksgiving song. Linda singing “thank you for loving me. thank you for being there.”

I love you, dive buddy.

Fun fact: About 2.5 years I asked @hikikomorphism.bsky.social if a a question she’d asked me was out of a desire for a serious answer or just flirting.

She replied “85% flirting, 15% earnest,” and my dumb ass went “oh, I guess she’s not interested; that’s just a mid-range B.”

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

BIGFEETS - Episode 69, What's A Smoke Wolf This season the AIMS Team went back to their roots, and simply tried to prove that normal wolves might live in West Virginia. They forgot about bigfoot. They forgot about rogue teams. They forgot abou

me watching season 6 of supernatural: Oh okay so Sam is currently a Nobody and Dean has to get his Heartless from Hell and unite them back into regular Sam, just like Roxas and Sora, got it. Also Robert Englund was here for a hot minute.

Bus stops all over San Francisco have an ad for some AI company that says "San Francisco has lost a lot of its soul"

And it's honestly the most "hot-dog-suit guy meme" energy ever

you approach the altar. the priest holds the eucharist out to you with both hands. as you take it he whispers "start with 1/4 of it. if you dont feel the body of christ within 2 hours eat the rest"

Phoebe is not very good at most standard cat behaviors like climbing or hunting, but she’s a devastatingly effective Emotional Support Familiar.

A brown and white tabby cat headbutting her human’s forehead while they flop in a sunbeam together

Same tabby cat, this time gently cupping her human’s cheek with a paw.

Out of my ADHD meds, dealing with fresh grief and older trauma anniversaries, and my coffee grinder broke this morning.

Phoebe kept chirping at me to follow her upstairs, flopped in a sunbeam, and meowed until I joined her on the floor.

I still feel like shit, but she’s a very wise cat.

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

I took a hard jab last night at fencing practice in a place that is awfully close to a known Chinese medicine meridian, and today I feel physically better than baseline with regards to a long ongoing complaint. I am now contemplating a theory of Extremely Violent Shiatsu.

Evangelicals don't know clergy in other denominations have to be super educated and qualified, do they?

Like a priest or pastor in a mainline church has had so, so much book learning.

Not to fall too far down the Molly rabbit hole, but when I had finally made the decision to transition, I found this song and it just hit.

“I've gotta let this go
This doubt inside me, with every road I take
There's things I'll never know, but I'll go my own way”

I love hearing cardinals and blue jays together, as if there were a 5AM conversation “Hey, I’m going to make little scifi noises, that ok?”

“Sure, so long as I can yell ‘Fuck! Fuck!’”

“Deal.”

Me to 3yo: What do you want for your birthday party theme?

3yo: “Poopoo & peepee theme! We can get apple juice for the pee, so a skeleton pees and you drink the skeleton pee but it’s okay because it’s juice”

Me: ..K I was thinking like “dinosaurs” but let’s put a pin in “piss fountain of the dead”

One Art by Elizabeth Bishop The art of losing isn’t hard to master; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster. Lose something every day. Accept the fluster of lost door keys, the hour badly spent. The art of losing isn’t hard to master. Then practice losing farther, losing faster: places, and names, and where it was you meant to travel. None of these will bring disaster. I lost my mother’s watch. And look! my last, or next-to-last, of three loved houses went. The art of losing isn’t hard to master. I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster, some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent. I miss them, but it wasn’t a disaster. —Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture I love) I shan’t have lied. It’s evident the art of losing’s not too hard to master though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

Over the past week, the president posted an image of himself as Jesus, the vice president challenged the pope on Catholic doctrine, and the secretary of defense quoted the speech of a fictional hit man and presented it as scripture.
