I accidentally squirted soap into my eye this morning (twice), but while that did hurt, what REALLY hurts isn’t my actual eyeball, it’s that I rubbed my eyelid skin raw while trying to rinse my eye.

If pharmacies are going to demand an Rx to buy hypodermic needles (not a legal requirement in AZ), they should have to actually order the correct ones instead of subbing in whatever random needles they had handy

Time to ask my doctor to prescribe a wholesale quantity of needles I guess 🙄

Mine is the LA “river.”

(I’ve never seen the revitalized sections, just the concrete channel)
My favorite Twitter prompt was "RT this with your home river," so reskeet this with your home river.

Mine is the Patuxent.

Why would you design a HOSPITAL with a GRAND STAIRCASE?!

Hospitals have so many visitors with fall risks! and mobility devices don’t do well on stairs!

the thing about “ICE needs training” is that Jonathan Ross was a ten year DHS vet and a firearms instructor

he’s the kind of guy they get training from

the whole institution is rotten, throw it out
Democrats officially going all in on the mealy mouthed “ICE needs training” narrative.

No. ABOLISH ICE.
WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach

KERNEN: I'm not taking that bait

WARNER: Joe! You can't pick your facts

My current WIP for #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

I’m excited to realize I can do two-color brioche without purling!

26 books according to my kindle stats, so the actual total is probably 30+
NEW: How many books did you read this year? If it was more than 2, congrats: you read more than the median American.

Read on for way more @today.yougov.com polling from me on America's book-reading habits in 2025. 1/

Funny how quickly things (in this case, my cholesterol med) can go from awe-inspiring to annoying.

Then: "An antibody that's kinda like an SSRI for my liver's cholesterol receptors? wild!"
Now: "the injectors take up too much space in the fridge", "those little bandaids hurt my leg hair"...

My gift-wrapping masterpiece

Oh the streetcar isn’t running the entire route due to a road closure for an event. This disruption is not mentioned anywhere on the website or in the app.

Public transit here is such a shitshow
Apparently the SunTran “real-time tracker” just shows where the streetcar WOULD be if it was on schedule (lol), not where it actually is 😡

I took a day off of work to rest, but it wound up being pretty busy

- wrapped some Christmas presents, put up more decorations
- went to the UA women’s basketball game
- my therapist is moving across the state (but is still doing telemedicine)
- big plumbing emergency (but it’s fixed now)

If you don’t like the look of LED Christmas lights:
- Swap the green bulb covers for the blue ones
- Swap the white bulb covers for the red ones

The hanging strand here is swapped, the one on the ground original.

I just misread the label on the “small ornaments” box as “small armaments”, so I guess that tells us how much stress I’m bringing into the Christmas season 😆

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

Christian: The Holly and the Ivy

Secular: Lonely This Christmas
What is your favorite "Christian" Christmas song and what is your favorite "Secular" Christmas song?

I will probably always adore "O Come All Ye Faithful" and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" for Christian.

And "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" for secular.

The turkey was also a success, our friends liked it.

Last night’s slightly-scorched pies were a good warning about how easily things burn when close to the sides of the oven, so I was pretty proactive about shielding the turkey with foil.

I am so worn out.

…and now I’ve used up the excess pie filling by cooking it like a crème brûlée.
