Ok so over on Instagram I used to track my reading and always had nice chats with people about books so I’m going to move that over here now that I’ve deleted my Insta. (I’m also on StoryGraph as mittenstrings.)

I try to read 100 books a year. I fail as often as I succeed.
When the one guys says, “Well we know Christian Horner is great at HR” I literally choked. Gotta stop letting men talk in this sport. L

I don’t think those of you harshing the Adrian Newey news in the F1 feed understand HOW BAD SOME OF US NEED THIS TO BE GOOD OK

Thing 2 has been in a terrible mood all day and the only thing that has worked all day is stop the fussing is to let him dance to a 2000s hits playlist on the coffee table while he eats a pancake so guess what we’re doing.

I TRULY DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE LIKED THIS FRANCHAISE
Big thanks to @jennyleighx33.bsky.social for reading BREAKING DAWN for the first time to come talk about this enormous POS with @brennacgray.bsky.social and I
It’s time for the Twilight saga as guest @jennyleighx33.bsky.social returns for another Stephenie Meyer text.

I know we all have a lot going on and we’re up in our own heads all the time but I really think you’d be happier if you waved back to the baby trying to get your attention.

it's me, a bluesky porn spam bot. every day I read 1500 bios from blue wave accounts telling me not to DM them. I nod my head respectfully and move on to the next person.

Glad to see Max Verstappen’s fans handling this situation with exactly the class and grace they are so well known for.

There’s no device in my life like the Yoto Player. The technology and design is flawless, perfect, no notes. Dealing with their customer service, who appear to be under strict orders to never read an email to completion, is like ripping my own fingernails out.

Can’t watch Las Vegas qualifying until the kids are asleep and I am getting the vibe that I am missing an interesting time NO ONE SPOIL IT I AM NOT CLICKING THE FEED.

Also being in the same time zone as an F1 race after so many years away from Eastern time is still so weird.

Those of you who love it when I’m angry will be pleased to hear this.

Not exotic at all but my very first department meeting at my very first academic job I was so shit scared I threw up in the bathroom on my way to the meeting room.
what's the most exotic place you've ever puked? mine's not exactly exotic but i did once have a hangover at the nyc facebook office and barfed in their very nice bathroom
Got food poisoning from Fogo De Chao. Puked out the side of a moving cab along beautiful Copacabana Beach. The most exotic place I'll probably ever puke!

Most days that I have the kiddos my other half takes them after dinner, especially these last few months that I've been trying to ease back into a consistent writing schedule before my sabbatical starts. Today I know I am overstimulated because I put on noise cancelling headphones with no music.

It’s honestly a bummer when these guys aren’t economists. They’ve escaped containment.

Ok I found the only unforgivable sin
Am I a hypocrite for wanting this after giving a hard no to muppet knives out
Okay, I'm making my case for the only Muppet I want to see on Broadway right now...

John out here telling hard truths

(Grades didn’t mean more when you “earned” them.)
I'm being made to understand that grades don't "mean anything anymore" but I'm hoping someone can point me to the time when they were meaningful.

I‘m glad you all have extra news to watch tonight (you were running low?) but I’m feeling more bread and circuses so I watched Secret Lives of Mormon Wives in the bath.

As a child, I killed several Teddies Ruxpin because I absolutely could not be convinced that I didn’t have to put coins in it to make it work, which probably says a lot about my lifelong understanding of earning and deserving joy.

The sound he makes while digesting a dime is nausea-inducing.

Hard not to notice the larger trajectory of culture being like

teen girls and their interests are worth a lot of money

that money gives them a power that makes us uncomfortable so we mock them

next we defang their media outlets and silence their voices
