A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I went outside to look at the sleet/ice and the neighbor kids were sledding down their driveway. They let me take a turn then asked me to stay and play with them. 🥰

There's a MAGA house at the end of my street. Recently they put a bright red bulb in the light that shines on their driveway. Every time I walk by I just want to loudly sing "ROOOOXanne!".

When I was in high school I did a constitutional debate program and witnessed this exchange:
JUDGE: what’s your favorite amendment?
KID: the third
JUDGE: why the third?
KID: because if there’s soldiers in your house, the other ones really don’t matter
BORN READY FOR 2026

I've decided to cheer for the Rams, which is not good news for the Rams as every other team I've decided to cheer for so far in these playoffs has been eliminated. #nfl

Part of the way social media makes people crazy is notifying them of every single damn thing. Turn it all off. Look at the site when you want to. Never, ever allow it to make your phone make noise. Nothing that important is going to happen here.
I turn of all notifications for literally every damn app. My phone only rings out loud if it's someone who's in my phone book and it only beeps at me if I set an alarm or a loved one is texting.
This is a good thread to read. I will only add that I do not get ANY social-media notifications or news alerts on my phone and it is a foundational building block of my sanity that no nonhuman entity, not even Bluesky, gets to initiate conversations with me.

To keep from doom-scrolling and to attempt to help relieve some stress in this cursed timeline, I've been crocheting. I'm probably going to have to leave these on my friend's porches in the dark of night to give them all away. #crochet

Look, 2026, all I'm saying is the bar is not very high. It won't take much effort. You don't even have to be great - just suck less than 2025 and I think people will be happy.

Rest assured, if you leave a halfway decent gift bag at my house the chances are good that you will see it again some day.

This weekend a friend of mine asked me what my red line was - meaning, what would have to happen before I actively sought to leave the US.
Been thinking a lot about that.

I needed a free hand so I stuck the pencil behind my ear. I was just thinking "I bet having a pencil behind your ear makes you look smart" when the pencil fell out and landed directly into my tea.

I made this for my niece because she is dealing with a mean lady at work. I'm telling my niece this is an emotional support attack chicken and anytime that lady is mean, she should throw the chicken at her.
