I think a lot about how York, PA has TWO @chilis.bsky.social locations and Seattle has zero. Such a shame.

There is no cock-eyed optimist as cock-eyed and optimistic as the cat who thinks every time you go into the kitchen it just might be to get her some wet food. 😆🐈‍⬛

I've started listening to @sleepwithcelebs.bsky.social and I love it so much, but I kinda wish every episode was just @lindaholmes.bsky.social talking calmly about 90s TV.

My realtor, who is one of the best people I know, is sending this mailer out in the Ypsilanti / Ann Arbor area, so please keep your eyes out for this if you're out there. But she pretty much covers SE Michigan and I highly recommend you hit Jo Cook up if you're even curious about homeownership.

All the grocery store employees groan as I enter wearing this and head to the rotisserie chicken stand
I have to take an annual fire safety training for work, and I am reminded that I asked some of the folks who manage these things how they evacuate the NICU and apparently they have vests you can load up with babies

Tonight this man convinced me that he had not had dinner. He gave me giant googly starving eyes as he drooled into his bowl.

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases)

Peak Nevada City moment. Eating biscuits and gravy and then the woman at the cafe asks if you want to hear the song she wrote about her biscuits and gravy. Of course I do!

obsessed with this because putting on a bald cap instead of shaving your head is less like solidarity and more like “this is what you look like to me”

I was just talking about how the 90s were just full of super popular themed restaurants. RIP Planet Hollywood
