I’m going to start blaming my Nordic ancestry for my spice intolerance. That sounds way cooler than reminding everyone that I’m from the Midwest.

Purring cat on my lap, fresh berries in a dish, trees bursting with flowers and many books at hand. I’m basically living like a royal from any other time in history. 💜

What’s the point of the bay leaf? Why are we still doing this…? Has anyone ever tasted a bowl of soup then pushed it away because the bay leaf was left out?

It’s gotten to the point where I’ve started to limit the amount of food-in-bar-form I eat in a day. Granola bar, yogurt bar, Perfect bar, protein bar… only ONE food type bar per day! I tell myself. 2025 truly is a hellscape.

Telling me to enjoy a flight in economy might be one of the most passive aggressive things I’ve ever heard.

I wish I could convince my body that I'm just getting on an airplane - I'm not going to war.

A while back I asked folks why they’re joining Bluesky and the most common response I saw was, “I just want a good place to get my news” and, yall, no. Bad.

The fact that anyone gives a shit about the #Oscar’s boggles my mind.

It’s a good thing I REALLY thrive on spite. 🥰

Stop giving Amazon money. GET A LIBRARY CARD & read & buy banned books. Take back your attention. Go outside. Study history. Build community locally & talk to your neighbors. Laugh. Attend LIVE performances & shows with other human beings. And remember that JOY is an act of resistance.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.
