Rooke

First day of summer and it’s raining. I fucking love it here.

The brain fog is so bad today. My coworker loudly opened a can of soda and I said bless you.

Forgot my sunglasses in my other bag, pain and suffering on planet earth

The glorious 25th of May

How do they rise up…

Phew

I think it’s analogies. Made me a better critical thinker, but also is huge for describing complex relationships in unique situations. Especially when training and teaching!

The Angels love to stress me out

*sad Angels fan noises*

The Angels? Getting on the board in the first? I didn’t know they remembered how to do that

“It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help.
If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite."

BEEN THERE. One time they took fourteen vials. FOURTEEN. Afterwards I was like. Yeah no I’m gonna need to sit here for a bit.

My favorite part is that some of the things they tested for were blood disorders. And I was like, well, now I have “not enough blood” disorder.

I feel like the National Parks had a queer history in the US compilation that someone archived that had information on it. I’ll look for it tonight.

Once again asking for the count to be stopped

Me trying to come up with something to ease the permanent sense of existential dread the state of world has left in me: well at least this has completely radicalized my mother

Entire country watching the stock market with the same feeling as seeing "In play, run(s)" on MLB Gameday

An EKG with “it’s so over” and “we’re so back” written at the lows and highs of the graph respectively

Teen Warned Not To Accept Group Chat Invites From National Security Advisors She Doesn’t Know

I'm sorry but going to the white house after they tried to erase the contributions of the most important player in the history of your team is coward shit

Pictured: my wife’s emotional support cat and her emotional support cat’s emotional support cat (who also emotionally supports me)

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there.

The show must go on.

I despise the wind. Hateful weather phenomenon.

Sorry I shot through reading the Golden Raven last night and now I’m crazy. Yeah, it’s gonna be forever, sorry.

A picture of a tortoiseshell cat sitting on a couch. Her tongue is sticking out.

Yeah we got one of those

Can we also do the moon landing?

Save me footage of pitchers and catchers. Footage of pitchers and catchers save me!

So not only is it way less than they expected, even that number is probably an overestimate of the program.
