There is no cock-eyed optimist as cock-eyed and optimistic as the cat who thinks every time you go into the kitchen it just might be to get her some wet food. 😆🐈‍⬛

I've started listening to @sleepwithcelebs.bsky.social and I love it so much, but I kinda wish every episode was just @lindaholmes.bsky.social talking calmly about 90s TV.

It's Downton Abbey for America. But yeah, all the seasons are beautiful and weird and have rich people behaving poorly. I loved the Italy season (2). So strange.

My realtor, who is one of the best people I know, is sending this mailer out in the Ypsilanti / Ann Arbor area, so please keep your eyes out for this if you're out there. But she pretty much covers SE Michigan and I highly recommend you hit Jo Cook up if you're even curious about homeownership.

Text says, "Oh no 🤬 Not another f*%@ing post card from a real estate agent." - you, circa 2025

Unfortunately, it's true.

My son has an expensive interest in Paw Patrol & NumberBlocks that I need to financially support.

Please reach out if:
- You're looking to buy + sell real estate.
- You are wealthy and are prepared to retire me so I can spend less time sending out post cards and more time improving my pickleball serve."

At the bottom is a QR code next to text that says, "Stalk Me On Facebook."
Phone number: 248-965-1764
Email: jo@jocookrealty.com

To the right is a circular insert photo of a blonde woman holding her son, and they are both smiling. Text around the photo says, "This is the kind of mostly nonsense energy I bring to real estate ❤️"

I love that show so much. I could smell the humidity in the establishing shots.

Pedestrian Verse is my second favorite but Midnight Organ Fight has all the best songs. Modern Leper is a great opening track. I don't love Panic Attack. It was produced by the guitarist from The National and is a little too slow and pondering (aka The Nationally) for me.

The answer is Midnight Organ Fight.

I have to take an annual fire safety training for work, and I am reminded that I asked some of the folks who manage these things how they evacuate the NICU and apparently they have vests you can load up with babies

A product photo with a supposed hospital employee wearing a vest with three visible pouches that are made of probably nylon and mesh, and they are buckled closed like the buckles on bike helmets, and in each pouch is a baby doll

Tonight this man convinced me that he had not had dinner. He gave me giant googly starving eyes as he drooled into his bowl.

Now he is sleeping off his double dinner with his stomach so large he can’t even lie on it.

Strong contender for a daytime Emmy here.

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases)

Peak Nevada City moment. Eating biscuits and gravy and then the woman at the cafe asks if you want to hear the song she wrote about her biscuits and gravy. Of course I do!

obsessed with this because putting on a bald cap instead of shaving your head is less like solidarity and more like “this is what you look like to me”

John Stamos wears bald cap in solidarity with his ‘Full House’ co-star Dave Coulier, who recently revealed his cancer diagnosis.
