In my Bluesky profile, I put “Apparently a sommelier”. I tweeted about this, but figure I can share here because Bluesky needs fun content…and I think it’s a kinda funny story.

Back in April, I got contacted because SOMM somehow found my contact info and thought I was a sommelier. I originally posted about it on The Bad Place, but re-posted the entire saga here a couple months ago because it was so crazy random...

I hadn’t updated the Twitter app in at least 2 years. It still said “Twitter” and had the bird icon.
Finally went and deleted it.
I guess I kept it hoping Musk would give it up to sane people who weren’t nazis, but that’s clearly never going to happen…so it’s deleted now.

75ft. That’s all that separates Calif. coffee shop Groovy Goose from a Starbucks — which generated a cool $37B in 2025. The location would be the death sentence for any new coffee shop, but, somehow, Groovy Goose is the one holding the smoking gun.

Good reminder that Trump was guilty of an egregious crime simply in Georgia, let alone the rest of the country, and should have served a significant stint in prison. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

I can’t decide if flat black Cybertrucks are uglier than the standard silver ones.
Then I stopped thinking about it because it’s like wondering which member of Trump’s administration is the most racist. It really doesn’t matter.

Turkeys CAN fly. I witnessed one take off in front of my parents’ house, fly across the road, over the house across the street, and land in a tree behind their house.
It was amazing and I wish I got it on video.

Graduated with a BA in English. (Cue the Avenue Q song.) Didn’t know what I wanted to do. Best friend convinced me to move to North Bay with her. I ended up working at a Teavana. Then got a job at a smaller place and worked my way up!
