I’m so uncool that I genuinely puzzled over the “history of beef” here like damn huh yeah slaughterhouses have poor labor practices.

A (fancy split hose) air con mobile unit covered partly with a cat patterned scarf

We were able to procure a portable aircon unit in prep for the summer and I’m doing my best Grandmacore job by covering it with a scarf for now. Like putting a lace doily on a PS5.

I was about to say I should save this for my dentist but there’s a non-zero chance that this term DOES exist in German.

Dawn by Octavia butler

Read. Conceptually? Love. The book as a whole? Well, less so. I was more into the bodily consent and harsh truths of historical subjugation subtext than the human focused plot. I wish we saw MORE aliens (yes MORE). An excellent discussion book, I’m making husband read it to yap.

Perfect pastel spring color choices.

He is an incredibly skilled writer, I should also reread American psycho! Maybe in October.

No no, I get it, I absolutely get what you mean. I saw a book by him in our free little library and it felt like seeing an asshole ex that you know sucked but ahhh, wasn’t it fun?

Gotta love when there’s an emergency siren testing you weren’t aware of. Just a full minute of: “Hmm, maybe I’m about to die. I should have drank that Syrah last Friday.”

I looove frozen fruit! Every day I eat oats that I cook on the stovetop with some frozen strawberries but in summer, I just plop frozen blueberries or raspberries on top at the end for a little cooling crunch. Chefs kiss.

I hope so because the companies I know for sure as hell do not lol, it’s dismal out here too. I’m wary but I’ll stay optimistic!

Michigan! American wines are hard to come by here and limited to cali but I’ll keep my eyes open!

No wayyy, this is insanely cool, you gotta get it!

Help, I just met the anemic pikachu and I love him, I’m going to cook him a nice stew and fluff his pillows.

You’ve got the little guy lover gene

“Fun” and “interesting” always seem to be words I’m never sure if I should take as a compliment lol

So color coded, adorable!

What a delightful beak color

Unbelievable! It’s the one thing that makes me go absolutely feral, I’m a meek person otherwise. But animals? Nope, you’re getting the horns!

Honking my horn and waving but my horn sounds like a clownish BEEP

Brother this is living 🫡

The EU is figuring out some AI laws soon and mannnn I know it won’t go hard enough or fast enough. It’s dire.

Get outta your head! I feel you. Maybe that’s why I read so much and walk so much. Banish thoughts! The ideal self is THOUGHTLESS!

We have a lot of swans near us and every year they build a nest for babies. So many people get snipped for trying to walk past and THEY ALL DESERVE IT. The ONLY time I’ve ever heard my husband yell was when he saw someone throwing rocks at swans.

A very pulpy looking cover of the wild cast of characters in a confederacy of dunces

Never saw this cover for Confederacy of Dunces before and I’m so charmed by how outrageous it looks but no, no, that’s accurate. That’s correct. That’s the text.

Do you think she dreams of me or does she also have nightmares about “what if I never actually graduated and I’ve been lying this whole time”?

There’s a huge magpie vs crow squabble happening outside my balcony right now. Place your bets. I’ve got five on the singular magpie, I love an underdog.

I work tech-adjacent so it’s inevitable but I’m startled at how fast and hard everything shifted, not just in my pipelines but in the general tech industry zeitgeist. It’s BAD, used to be a comfortable industry to work in, nah uh, not anymore. Good luck to you and your colleagues, hang in there!

Today my boss went off on a tangent about how amazing it is that AI helps people write now. My ENTIRE job and company has switched to only AI, I’m complaining because I know you understand, it’s so soul-crushing, I need out of this industry! :(

Awww I’m happy to hear! And I feel you on the socializing. I work remote and since I only have meetings, most of my socializing is just Professional Face and I find it oddly less exhausting than if it was casual! Somehow! I hope the job is good for your soul and even a little fun. Get that cash!

Ohhhh so that’s what the cup holders in cars are also for….
