It’s been more than a decade since Mike Brown coached in Cleveland but as a Clevelander reading these words conjured up something dormant (dread? disbelief? anger?) from deep within me…

Time to get Chipmunk Punk

Doing exactly what you should be doing on a romantic weekend in the woods… repeatedly asking your boyfriend whether or not he remembers the short lived series MTV Fear

Today Chad and I both got tools in the mail to help us pursue our Art… for him, an extremely cool camcorder… for me, a hunk of wood

Chad and I are watching a doc about the Weather Underground and this incredible YIPpie said, of the Capitol bombing, “The Weather Underground bombed the Capitol to bring a little joy to America. They wanted to put a smile on our faces,” and girlie… yes, 100% evergreen political commentary

Screenshot of an email reading: Dear Friends and Colleagues, Naturalist [redacted] from [redacted] will be bringing a live big brown bat, Eptesicus fuscus, to the [children's area for our program on [date]. I didn't include live bat in the program description, because the [organization] was not able to guarantee the bat would be alive by October back when I wrote the description, but | just talked to [redacted] last week and their bat is alive and well. So unless something tragic happens we will have a live bat on [date] from 1pm-3pm in the [children's area]! We will also have a bat craft and maybe even some of our own own bat specimens from the cold room (still checking on that). Best, [redacted]

From my weird work email tumblr archives:

“Escaping” from the looming nuclear war by “doing my job” which today means preparing an “easy to understand” explainer on Medicaid eligibility changes and how these changes will translate into expected excess deaths in Ohio.

This looks FASCINATING

My dad has also been asking this question

No you’re not

WFH has to be restricted and not for the reasons you think… I stopped to get a little lunch before running errands and everyone here has a laptop and not a single table has turned over since I got here. Send these people back to the office!!!!!!!!!! People like me (NOT WORKING) deserve a table!!

It’s so rare that I reread but I have read Made for Love multiple times and it’s just incredible… truly a masterwork

Read this earlier this year and loved every page. I can’t stop recommending it to people!

Ok I haven’t watched High Potential but a coworker of mine (Black woman in her fifties) keeps telling me I have to watch it because “you’re just like her”???

Some of you need to catch this

My to-to Guy spring album is One Last Wish

If only the meteor had hit me, I wouldn’t be here (waiting room of the dentist’s office) right now

I regret to inform you that the meteor did not hit my office building… I might never get another chance to be killed by a meteor

I heard it!!!

Screencap of the newsletter The Diagnosis with the following text highlighted: “Several readers described the paradox: The earlier they wake up, the more likely they are to be late. Extra time just gives the brain more opportunity to get lost in things they now “have time for.” That’s when the time blindness kicks in.”

Incredibly surreal to read a description of this dynamic WHILE I am currently EXPERIENCING it…

Chad is from the Mahoning Valley so I never have to hear this kind of shit from him

A comedian a lover a madman

I’m HIGH on LIFE (went to the coffee shop and ran into so many friends and neighbors)

Same, I’ve been thinking about watching this for weeks but everyone my boyfriend asks if there’s anything I feel like watching I say no

I was also listening to Italo Disco after dropping Chad off at work! At first I was like, “It is way too early for this” but I kept listening and it ended up putting me in such a good mood!

Still thinking about the college radio PSA I heard this morning… A riff on Reagan’s morning in America speech about how we should be proud to live in a country where you can turn on the radio and hear something you’ve never heard before. Ashamed of the US but proud of WRUW 🫡

I love this for you!! Unrelated, are you doing the next girls to the front?

I love living in Cleveland, Ohio

Perfect movie
