yes.

You will never be prepared for the first time your partner tells you they unironically enjoy Chumbawumba.

the struggle to go and get it every day is so real! I don't know how anyone with a family or full-time job does it. I'm freelance/WFH and had to cut my hours a bit because I was so tired. I hope you experience some relief soon. 🖤

it's the birthday of my favorite person @rufus-hickok.bsky.social , a lover of cats and books and dad jokes and cheese who makes my life so much richer and full of love and creativity! It's still such a trip that you are here in nyc with me. 🖤

Two people stand in the open doorway of a bookstore. One is a white man wearing glasses and a tiger t-shirt; he is speaking into a microphone. The person next to him in a woman wearing a Cocteau twins shirt and glasses; she has her eyes closed and she is trying unsuccessfully to smother a giggle fit.

I used to leave myself private messages on Spacebook, which has reminded me 12 years ago I was 12 days into my marriage being over and said "I hate this so much." I could not have imagined how good my life would be now.

no, just 2 random garden-variety Modern Orthodox (I think) guys willing to make eye contact with a woman wearing a tie dyed t-shirt with a kitten holding a knife on the front.

someone asked me if I wanted to shake the lulav today. honestly, I should have.

jenni @msjennimiller.bsky.social · 3d

got it! sorry to be unhelpful <3

who on earth looks at the Epstein case and then thinks, ah yes, justice was definitely served with regards to Woody Allen, we should definitely trust the system.

But I don't know if we're using the term edgelord in the same way. Mine is like, being interested in art by bad people or upsetting movies (but also sometimes triggering myself with it).

jenni @msjennimiller.bsky.social · 3d

when I refer to my edgelord tendencies, i mean my own inclination to investigate the things that scare and disgust me -- my own edges, I guess. But that's often related to edgy or extreme media consumption, perhaps as self-punishment/abnegation. there's some communal aspect to these interests.

I'm so glad we're taking back frogs.

So, my old buddy Matt teaches Canadian kids how to play rock'n'roll music- and if we could make THIS song the Theme Music of the Revolution, I would appreciate it. Thank you for your consideration.

trying out earplugs that supposedly mitigate migraines caused by barometric pressure fluctuations -- I'm on my last ubrelvy b/c UHC decided I only needed 8 pills this month instead of 10, which is never enough anyway -- and honestly, I think the Dosist calm vape is doing most of the heavy lifting.

i got added to a catch-all "zionists, karens, etc" list by someone after Manchester and when I went to look at their profile, they were already blocked by the "uses the term zios" blocklist. touché!
