I skew toward the irreverent. I wallow in the flippant. I like big books and I cannot lie. Minnesota. Star Trek. Infinite diversity in infinite combinations. 🖖 She/her
The internet sometimes, man.
Me: We've been trying out different banana bread recipes and so far this is the favorite source.
Most people: Fun test! [Commentary, different favorite recipes, etc.]
Always that one person: I hate bananas.

🤣🤣🤣

We're fully socially broken.

I'M SORRY I'M NOT FREE... BUY ME A BOOK FIRST.

My 10yo has some real vibes going on.

This is my grandma's vintage cake pan set (my kids are using it to bake my sister a birthday cake).

I have to ask though. Are you really American if you haven't baked a 4 tier Washington's birthday cake? 🤣🤣🤣

This ex-grasshopper we found is immortalized in the style of the xenomorph in Spaceballs.

My neighbor's outdoor cat is very pregnant and has become attached to me. (I do feed her, despite "better" judgement.)

My kids asked if daddy would be mad. I'm flummoxed that they don't already realize he has a soft and squishy heart for small creatures, too. He's allergic to cats. We have 3.

Pulling up to pick up my sister for her colonoscopy: Get in, loser, we're doing buttstuff.

I feel obligated to inform everyone that this IS NOT OUR KITTEN. Sure, my kids have fed it and given it water and made it a bed WITH HEAT PACKS...

But y'all. We already have 3 cats. We can't.

I just watched the latest episode of Strange New Worlds: The persistence of chair "Rikering" into new Star Treks as an in-joke should make Jonathan Frakes very, very proud.

Me: Tom Lehrer died.
Spouse: Bubble wrap Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan.
Me: None of these are young men, but I'd still be sad.

Oh man. Tom Lehrer. 97 is not a tragic age to die, but it was nice that he was still in this world.

Kid2 is a new-ish reader and so some things are still unfamiliar to her. For instance... the ampersand. Which looks like the number 8.

So she read the title of this book as: The Care Bears Ate [eight] the New Baby.

I gotta say... it would be a more interesting read.

Minnesotans are a hardy stock.

I couldn't attend today, but this makes me so proud.
Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

To get my Simpsons- resistant kid into The Simpsons I showed her the monorail episode first.

I don't play fair. 🤣

TFW: An artist who creates spontaneously starts creating a ton... and you wonder if it means they're okay or if they're really really not okay.

Unhinged coffee talks with friends today: Do you think Trump saw the title of the movie "Happy Feet", thought it was supposed to be OnlyFans content... then got reeeeal mad at penguins?

6yo: I'm not a demon, mother.
Me: That sounds like something a demon would say.

"Sometimes it Snows in April" --Minnesotans every April, when it doesn't sometimes--but ALWAYS--snows in April.

*I don't recall it ever NOT snowing in April in my lifetime.

I made this Cory Booker ornament for a friend in 2018. Feels fitting today.

Before I became a parent I didn't know it was physically possible for a being to outgrow all of a subset of their clothing quite literally overnight. THESE ALL FIT YESTERDAY I SWEAR.

Severance would have been a great episode of Black Mirror.

Can't tell you how glad I am that Eichorn got busted -before- girl scout day at the state capital.
