Just overheard a college student talking about the Heat Miser and her friends had no idea who that was and I have now officially given up hope for the youth of today

Well, at least the Grim Reaper’s aim on the claw machine is getting a little better. RIP Dubya’s puppeteer.

Sometimes my daughter’s bus running late works out okay because I get to see the Fat Boys on TV while we’re waiting

Heads up that John Waters is going to be interviewed on WBEZ in the next hour.

You’re welcome.

Today is cosplay day at work so I came in dressed as Joey Ramone, grabbed the mic and yelled “1234 1234”.

Nobody got it…until I referenced the Simpsons episode w/Mr. Burns’ birthday and then my coworkers were all like “ohhh yeah”

Sometimes it’s lonely being one of the only ppl here in my late 50s

In an hour and a half, I become the parent of a grown-ass adult. I’m just as amazed as you are that anything dependent on me has made it to 21 years old alive and not in need of trauma therapy.

I can’t attend the march in Chicago bc my husband has OT and it’s too much for my autistic daughter whom I can’t leave home alone. Instead, I donated a bus ticket to send someone in DC in my place. Plus, heard of a protest in Rosemont that is manageable enough where my daughter and I can both go.

Watch me show up to Saturday protests dressed up as anything but a frog and be all like the only person who comes in costume to a regular party

No amount of esteemable action I can take today will make me prouder of myself than finding a one-star review of cookie icing I wrote last year entitled “people think it’s funny but it’s really cold and runny”

Listening to one of those old radio game shows where the host announces the name of the contestant and their full address and I’m thinking it’s funny that doxxing was already a thing in 1945

Rando acquaintance: “So when does your daughter finish college?”

Me: “She doesn’t go to college. She’s high needs autistic.”

RA: “Wow. Must have been hitting the Tylenol pretty hard when you were pregnant.”

Me: “Why, what did your mom take when you were in utero? Extended Release asshole?”

As opposed to children who are circumcised late? If you’re going to do it, when the hell else are babies supposed to get circumcised?

Signed, the mom of an uncircumcised child with autism

PS: she’s female, but since we’re being jackasses about the cause of the disorder, I might as well “go
there”

Dear Grim Reaper: if you have to play the claw game today you know to push the joystick away from Dolly Parton and toward the big orange shitgibbon in the White House, right?

Due to a lack of companion care for my daughter, I did Kol Nidrei services online. In his sermon at the congregation I streamed, the rabbi mentioned Orange Shitgibbon and called Kirk’s shooting a horrible tragedy. Suffice it to say I’ll be watching services, and making a donation, elsewhere tomorrow

My husband got one so-called “joke” in with me about Tylenol this morning. So I am telling you the same thing I said to him in response: I WOULD PLAY ME VERY CAREFULLY WHEN MAKING LIGHT OF TYLENOL AND AUTISM.

In fact, I would venture to say you should just keep your mouth shut on the issue.
September 23, 2025 at 11:21 AM
Practicing my death stare to reply to the first person who finds out my daughter is autistic and asks me whether I took Tylenol during my pregnancy.
September 22, 2025 at 8:19 PM
Bracing myself for even more idiot questions from strangers about what caused my daughter’s autism as well as asshole assumptions i didnt totally rawdog migraines during my pregnancy

Trump previews ‘amazing’ autism announcement Monday | CNN
President Donald Trump’s speech at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service on Sunday took a detour into previewing an announcement he plans to make from the Oval Office on Monday about autism.

Chicago Public Schools really needs to not send me letters of direct admission along with a blank list of colleges that will accept my intellectually impaired daughter. It’s dehumanizing to her, and it just makes Mommy want to cry.
