My gripe about Mother’s Day is that it occurs during the school year (a very busy time of year, too!)

Father’s Day can be as big a bash as you want to throw. Can easily coordinate festivities with other families and friends. Idk, can be low stress.

Both should be during the summer!

The weekend! I would like to be left alone to… idk, watch a documentary about the USPS. Maybe buy some stationery so I can write letters while learning about fuckin mail.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

For the past few years I have become increasingly jaded. I think I can get through it eventually. But man it really hurts the soul in the meantime.

A very silly moment from my evening: Upstairs, quietly singing through sheet music for tomorrow’s church gig (catholic mass) while Charley is recording a metal band downstairs. Honestly kind of worked. Maybe they should write some lyrics in Latin.

Damn I wish I could have read this earlier
Dear US friends. I hear you feel ashamed. Know that the world outside of US is well oriented as most of our media is not deceptive. Do not carry the burden of shame. That belong to your President, administration and deceptive Greedy Old Party. Shame do not serve you. It takes your power away. 1/10

My prayer for all of us is that we can reach the level of guilelessness born of freedom that i had when i wrote the line "wanna put my tender heart in a blender" and not only did not crumple the paper and throw it in the trash but recorded it to tape

I know I should cheer for all kids playing sports… but every time a rural MN town’s hockey team beats Edina I cannot contain my joy!

What is wrong with me that explains why I get uncontrollably sleepy on the only day of the week where I have free time to get things done? I can barely keep my eyes open. I have so much I wanted to get done today. Instead, all I’ve done is yawn, and then voice dictated this post.

I would like one of those “___ days since last” signs in my house for how long we have gone without car trouble. I feels like we’ve never gone above 10 days, but I know that can’t be true. Just take it for granted when things work as they should.
