She filed a complaint with HR! No one explained to her what lorem ipsum was until she cornered me in a meeting a year later. I’d had no idea there was a problem. She seemed to think I had managed to bewitch my way out of trouble but she was onto me. They just let her go on thinking this. 🫤

If it was real Latin I wouldn’t have theeee funniest anecdote about a legal secretary accusing me of hexing her via the intranet w/a site mock up with filler text while waiting for her to send real content. She insisted she spent hours trying to translate it to decode the Evil message I’d sent. 😈

“It’s time to feed the kitty / Why won’t you feed the kitty?” to the tune of The Muppet Show theme—just that part—over and over for basically the last several months. Help.

Oooh! Highlights recently released a whole book of hidden pictures for “grown-ups and big kids” and I reckon a bunch of my mutuals would be into it too. 🔍👀 I was obsessed with these.

🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t think pushing for queer and SW artists to leave the restaurant is gonna work out the way anyone but the folks who hate queers/SWs is gonna like.

We keep telling this restaurant we're deathly allergic to censorship and they keep insisting it's just a little bit.

what’s your sign?

Extremely short saloon-door-style Do Not Enter sign at the top of a ramp stuck open so all you can see is “DO NOT DO NOT.”

Fingers, claws, talons, chelae, fins crossed that all three parts for my creepy costume arrive in time so I can do my moral duty as the guardian of an old Victorian house & step up my Halloween game. She is 130 this year and I’ve decided Oct 31 is her birthday (Observed.)

I never realized how lucky I was to work in a corporate refrigerator. 😬 Is the dress code specifically no t-shirts or is it “shirts must have collars”?
I ask because often if it’s a dress it’s seen as not a tee. These are a lot like what I wore when I had to “dress up” + leggings/tights.

Model wearing a sleeveless t-collared black dress.

Model wearing a long sleeve knee length black dress with a collar that is not too high or low. She’s wearing cute black bike style boots too.

Model wearing a black t-shirt dress that could use the sleeves cuffed a bit. This with tights or leggings looks like half my wardrobe that I never wear anymore since I’m remote.

Model wearing a longer black t-dress in summer-weight material.

My workaround for “collared shirt” reqs when I was in-office was adding a scarf. And the cardigan I kept at my desk. (office AC 🥶) Like cartoon levels of disguise now-you-see-it-where’d-it-go?

“My wardrobe reflects my wages,” really shut down a new manager who tried to “make changes around here.” 😈

Wtf Sherwin-Williams, do you really think 2025 is the time for neutrality on any level?

The iOS mango emoji makes me feel like my eyes are getting worse.
🥭🥭🥭
Awful emoji for such a delightful thing. I hate it.

Screenshot from inbox where an email from the nut jawn uses six mango emojis in the message text snippet. The coloring of them makes them look like a blurry optical illusion almost like you’re supposed to be wearing 3D glasses. Terrible.

Yoooo this is def one of my recurring concerns

Approximately one million years ago when the Internet was fun, almost all of my online activity was via a series of highly active listservs that provided everything I needed to know to find and do things I wanted to do near me and also kept me always an email away from experts in topics of interest.

I’ve got a whole jar of buttons and a glue gun. Craft night!!!

Imagine being able to go in and set your senior citizen parents’ accounts to FB For Babies and the relief that would bring.
This would be a great stopgap until I could finally convince them to just have a family group chat.

Do not show me anything else! My friends will not terrorize me with bullshit. I know how to aggregate my preferred horrors, thanks!!

“Under the law, users under the age of 18 would be shown a reverse-chronological feed on social media sites with content only from accounts they follow.”

That…That is the ideal social media experience. Fuck age verification forever. But a feed that’s reverse chrono & only my follows is the dream.

Electronic Frontier Foundation @eff.org · 26d

Age assurance methods in the NY Attorney General’s proposed rules are not “both privacy-protective and entirely accurate,” EFF’s @aaronmackey.bsky.social told @Gothamist.com. “They each have their own flaws that threaten everyone's privacy and speech rights.”

TikTok, Instagram may request selfie to verify age under proposed NY rules

Time to crack the dinosaur egg that came in my farm share.

Some robot-lookin’ equipment they’re using working on my neighbor’s house has been making the exact same beep that my refrigerator does when the door is left open, for days, and for a split second each time my wretched brain forgets it doesn’t have to care about this. Help.
