It was 80 and sunny yesterday and it's currently 46 and raining. I just let Waffles outside and he looked around like

Maybe somewhere along the way, things will get better but it'll be because we dragged them kicking and screaming or reshaped the world so that they had no option but to get better.

Yes, I imagine a world where [any number of loony things] mattered to [people I wish cared].

But I live here.

Some people are allowed to do insane things and no amount of being Mad Online fixes it. It's not fair and it's annoying to live in that world. But you have to be successful in spite of them.

"imagine if" - yes. But this is where we're at, so how do we move forward in spite of it?

I just realized one of the reasons this is annoying is that I've spent 38 years in a woman's body dealing with things that are acceptable if men do them but not if I do them.

And yet somehow I - and many other women - manage to get things done and be successful.

I'm also tired of "imagine the reaction if [someone else] [did or said the same thing]"

We know. But we're here. This is the world we live in now.

love to live in a world where the US president can talk about having "better blood" because of who he's related to

and nobody will care because it's the least unhinged of the unhinged things we're dealing with

oh my god

Honestly just the drink this cursed year needs

The secondhand embarrassment is so high it hurts.

How do you not just

i'm not linking to that ragebait article but i haven't seen anyone "malign homeowners" just landlords/corporations

the warning label we should have gotten on Jan 1.

I'd missed this! I'm so glad you have a new friend! What a good boy 💖

I'm just a girl, standing in front of a baggage carousel, asking it to move.

Anyway idgaf about him, he deserves whatever's coming.

But she deserves not to be reduced to "sad ex".

The headlines make it sound like they broke up and then she soon-after self-immolated like Aaron Bushnell.

She actually ended up rolling around and dousing herself with water. She was intoxicated and depressed, and it was long enough after that I don't really buy it was because of That Guy.

It was a year after. She and her husband separated because of it but shared a little boy, and tbh I think that was probably what was devastating.

Like it wasn't him, but the consequences of an affair.

Maybe? But "According to police reports, Santos-Aviles told officers who responded to her home on Sept. 13 that she set herself on fire because she had discovered her husband was "cheating on her" with her best friend. " www.expressnews.com/news/article...

Bff: I was sorted into the distance running house.

Me: I wasn't sorted, I was conscripted.

Bff: You weren't conscripted, you volunteered. All I did was tell you they give you snacks at the end.

I'd never read anything by him before. Saw it at an airport, put a hold at the library, and forgot about it. When it was ready I almost didn't check it out after re-reading the description but I'm so glad I did.

IT'S SO GREAT.

This part is also important. Sometimes people follow me and I don't notice until they talk to me and then oh hi why don't I see your posts t...oh brb lemme follow back.

Relationships!

Also even when I order all the things I can't finish them. Like the pizza texture and something about the flavor wasn't my favorite. Earlier I had dips but ran out of chips before I ran out of dips.

It annoys me when people complain because this IS Twitter. This is what it was like before providing monetary incentive for rage bait ruined it.

Waiting for some math to spoon feed you content, and only content you already like, is part of how we got into this [gestures broadly] mess.

Complaining about a lack of algorithm here - that's 100% a skill issue and you'd never have survived OG Twitter.

Find people you like and follow them! See who they follow!

This year is odd. Normally I want one thing from all the booths and this year I want all the things or none.

Ruling out beer and the nuts I'm allergic to doesn't help.

See super easy

There's no way I keep up with this let's be real.

I will tell you that bringing my own food tray so I don't drop stuff when I order more than one thing was an elite move.
