I am a perpetual high school student because I will laugh at this and say it in my head—or out loud *to myself*— like a bro every single time.

My doctor: “With your aneurysms, you should not lift anything more than 30 lbs.”
Me, picking up the now 52-lb puppy every day to weigh her because I am obsessed with how puppies grow: “Meh, we all gotta go some way, right?”
If this is how I die someone post a pic of me doing this on my tombstone

Saint Paul, it’s go time. If we’re going to chart a different course than Minneapolis when it comes to how we deal with our police, now is the time.
No one should be tear gassed for protecting their neighbors, especially not with weak excuses from SPPD.

Look, I don’t know what kind of fancy things y’all are making right now, but I just dipped a Garden of Eatin’ yellow corn chip into some Lund’s “spicy” guacamole and it tastes like the best Dorito I have ever had and I’m pretty sure this constitutes homemade.

My sister died unexpectedly "around this week" 8 years ago now. I do not remember the exact day. I can remember so many things, so many dates, so many numbers. But I can never remember the *exact date.* Maybe because it was around Thanksgiving, and Thanksgiving always falls on different dates.

I never figured out how to sit with it, how to be healthy and well-oriented to it, how to be normal and do normal helpful things in my control like volunteering at a food bank. That will probably destroy me. Or maybe I’ll stumble into another situation where I think I can try to stop the stars.

* Gummi bears weren't sold in the USA until 1981, after Haribo realized that many American service members and tourists were bringing the candy home from Europe. Gummi WORMS debuted the same year (1981), as a gross-out counterpart to the cute bears.

I thought “Nuzzi” was just a meme version of “Nazi” people were using and assumed its origin was another insane DT late-night typo-riddled social media episode.
Like it was the new “covfefe”.

The city of Lexington has 10,348 people. Closing this plant will push the equivalent of 1/3 of the town into unemployment.
Tyson Foods, the American meat industry titan, said on Friday that it would close down a major beef processing plant in Nebraska, as the U.S. faces high beef prices and its lowest cattle inventory in decades.

The processing plant, in Lexington, employs more than 3,000 workers. It is expected to close in January.

Minneapolis has so many rich white people and I am still not used to it after 20+ years.
And my “rich” I mean many of you didn’t grow up thinking Thanksgiving dinner mostly came out of cans and/or boxes with some herbs and spices added. And sometimes hot sauce.

I have a weird aversion to clichés. Maybe it is a neury-d thing, but I always get super uncomfortable when someone uses them.
“I didn’t have XX on my Bingo card” or “it’s like herding cats.” I suddenly freeze.
And it’s not bc I am literal. I love original metaphor and simile.

Whenever I have a late afternoon appointment and someone inevitably says something like, “I hope you’re doing something fun/nice tonight,” I always wonder if this is just a “nice” phrase ppl say OR if… most people DO have nice/fun things planned for their evenings?

You know what they say: “Put it out into the universe” and you shall make it so.
On this day, 17 years ago, I apparently put this intention into the universe. Which is why I still do not work in a purse store.

But can’t a person (me) dream of a liberated future when we have the time and freedom to fight against a clothing industry that labels something “wool” or “cashmere,” when mostly is made of plastics?

I’m at a racial justice conference in STL and so far the most socially awkward thing I have said or done, judged by the awkward silence, was say that if Gavin Newsom or Kamala Harris were the ‘28 candidates I would rather jump off the Arch than vote for either.
