I hate when you buy fancy peanut butter cups because most of the time the quality of the chocolate is better but the peanut butter filling sucks

I miss old school Instagram so much. I basically speedrun through everyone's reels because either a) it could've just been a photo carousel or b) I don't want to be talked at or have to listen to the same 30 second loop of "Opalite" or "Pretty Little Baby"

Okay, we got Noem and Prasad. Maybe this is like celebrity deaths and firings also come in threes. C'mon, Pam Bondi!

"Back soon?!?!" How very dare you lol

My maiden name was a difficult one to spell so whenever my parents ordered takeout they used the name "Jay" for convenience's sake. My sister ended up using Jay as my niece's middle name

I am sitting on the veranda of a cruise ship and somebody came by in the harbor absolutely blasting "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" from their boat. 10/10 no notes

The whole thing was a delight from start to finish

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

I've been watching HGTV shows in the waiting room all afternoon (hubs is having minor surgery, everything's good) and the absolute assholery on display from some of these homeowners is just staggering.

I think given the circumstances, if you don't wake up feeling cooperative and generous, it's okay.

My hands are so dry my tablet won't recognize my fingerprint and unlock. Fuck winter

You might have to gaslight her a little and convince her the chicken in her kibble is different from the chickens in your yard 😂

My students wouldn't let me leave the classroom today without crowding around me to hug and kiss me goodbye. This is what it's for. This is the hope I believe in, that these little people will grow up to continue to be kind and caring.

It's Kix for douchebags apparently

My man Raffi is frequently on rotation in my classroom and for good reason (aside from the fact that Bananaphone is a bop)

Listen, there are a lot of things that are awful right now but I'm pissed off that they put an AI chatbot in my CPAP monitoring app. No, I don't want to talk to your slop jockey, I just want to see how many times I stopped breathing last night.

I mean, he did not look great standing there while Hegseth and the head of the joint armed forces were bloviating at the podium (not that he ever looks great but he really looked like he was going to crumple before I got fed up and shut it off)

To paraphrase the Mountain Goats, I am gonna make it through this administration if it kills me

New adulting achievement unlocked: put air in my tires by myself for the first time today

That's your vegetable-sona

Bare feet in a public bathroom is a crime that should be brought before the Hague

Seriously, leave me the hell alone. I don't need your damn algorithm to tell me what I listened to on a loop for two weeks straight because the country is a tire fire.

It's the TikTokification, the ads are that way too. The same ten second ad looping multiple times with the same tiny soundbite of Taylor Swift

My little buddy!

When you're the wife of a birder, sometimes you have to drop everything in the middle of making dinner, grab your coat and shoes and camera, and go chase a roseate spoonbill that has no fucking business being in Massachusetts

It's so dark and blustery out I feel like I should be running through a candlelit castle hallway in a flowy white gown

As a teacher and a lifelong fan of Reading Rainbow, I couldn't be more excited for this. Here's to more friends to know and ways to grow! 📚🌈
