Turtle man still turtling, sadly.
Sage advice for anyone else in their 30's surviving shoveling this winter: get the XL heating pad. Not the little wimpy one with an auto shut off. The one sized like a bath mat that could burn your house down if left unattended.

Def less human made CGI this year and much more corner-cut AI generated content.
If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
Democracy dies in oligarchy.
!!! Absolute chaos people
Our streak of museum infighting continues π
I read this in one sitting and can't stop thinking about it. Usually I have a hard time connecting with translated books - something feels awkward and distant. But this time that may have even improved the read.
AND they made a point to tell that kid who crashed in the ER to always wear a helmet. I feel like it's foreshadowing.
"Just go with it because it will be worse if we fight back" is not a good strategy when confronted with an authoritarian regime.
Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.
Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.
Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.

Do you -also- listen to weird new age pseudoscience on YouTube ? Then maybe this one's for you. I have a new poem out today in Stink Eye Magazine: stinkeyemagazine.com/lisa-dellapo...
A black cat sleeps on an ottoman with teal fabric. Her head rests on a kindle e reader, used like a pillow.
When a pillow is unavailable, apparently a kindle will do.
RIP to all of our inboxes on this Giving Tuesday.
Alice Wong was so important to so many of us. A huge loss for the disabled community. But I'm comforted by how vocally we seem to be mourning her: what better way to honor a writer than to urge people to read their work.
Met the superior Pittsburgh penguin last weekend

It's always good to drive through the middle of Pennsylvania and get a reminder of why I live in Philadelphia

Yeahhhh. I fell down some stairs but luckily they think it will heal without surgery.
An X-ray film of a left foot. The toe to the right of the pinky is broken in three places.
I know it's ancient tech at this point, but I will never not be wowed by xrays. It's your bones! You can see INSIDE TO YOUR BONES. What a time to be alive.
I audibly groaned when she got handed the duffle bag.
Broke my foot and I'm anticipating a lot of stationary time to kill in the near future. Send me your recs for the last excellent book you read or movie you watched. (Nothing medically scary, please π )
