Men were a mistake and people wonder why so many women read books with emotionally intelligent krakens or gargoyles or whatever. Most of us would rather sleep with a tentacled monster that think we deserve to be treated well than spend 5 minutes with most human men.

I had the best day supporting Minneapolis businesses with a good friend. Not everyone can help in big ways, but if you can afford a book or need some lube, then there are places in Minneapolis that can use your money to support the vital work being done.

Unsuccessfully Coping with the Natural Beauty of Infidelity by Type O Negative

I picked up Joel from the airport in early December and I'm not kidding I waited 90 minutes for his luggage to drop and to pick him up.

tuvok initiating a mild meld by singing, to the tune of Da Dip by hip-hop legend Freak Nasty, “i put my hands up on your cheeks when i think you think we think”

okay so it’s a voyager meme but the sentiment holds damnit

I have finally succumbed to illness this year. I think making it to October with three trips smattered in there is pretty fucking impressive.

But also I feel like dogshit and would like to sign up for a new head. This one is too stuffy.

Hahaha yeah I saw that earlier, glad to know my wish will be fulfilled.

Not me listening to System of a Down's Steal This Album this gorgeous election day. Rest in piss Cheney.

I'm so excited!

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today.

Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.

Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s.

Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

Book, cat, comfy chair, blanket, book curated playlist, slightly gloomy, maybe rain later.

I can't think of a better way to spend my Saturday.

Imagine for a moment the rhetoric and outrage we would have seen from Republicans if Obama had ordered flags at half mast after the death of transgender rights activist and minister Bobbi Jean Baker in January 2014. The double standards are always breathtaking.

These fucking idiots took emails of Hillary Clinton ordering pizza and turned them into a child trafficking scheme, but they’re perfectly fine with Donald Trump being best friends with the most notorious sex trafficker of our time.

I'm in a meeting and someone mentioned that the entire total of mortgage debt was 12 trillion dollars.

White text on black background reads "Trekkies against fascism" in classic Star Trek font. The second "a" in "against" is replaced by a Starfleet insignia in red spray paint.

Workin on something

I think it's tragic that I will be in NJ while Star Trek NJ is going on .... But I will be trapped in Atlantic City for work.

My life is my own for the first time in 25 years. I have autonomy. I have no requirement to check in with anyone or provide for anyone. I do so by choice but not out of requirement or obligation.

I'm not sure I know what to do with this kind of freedom.

Today I -
- Dropped my son off at college (🎉)
- Bought yummy scented candles
- Meal planned and bought groceries
- Gave away a ton of shit on buy nothing
- Rearranged the house
- Cleaned the hell out of everything

Frey suuuuucks. He is a corporate lackey who hates the homeless, and said really out of pocket shit about remote workers because his big business backers were mad their buildings are vacant.

I have state faired. There was food, bees, and people shuffling like brain rotting zombies blocking every possible path forward.

Other than that I had a great time

My husband said the following:
Gambit
Nightcrawler
Rogue
Wolverine
Jubilee

Democratic. Farmer. Labor. Party!

Do I have a type?
Yes, it's men who look like white supremacists but are actually incredibly progressive.

A military-style vehicle with BITCH NAZI sharpied on the door under the window.

My new hero is the person who sharpied "BITCH NAZI" on this bearcat.

I turned in the last educational assignment I will ever do.

Just waiting on grades and a certificate in the mail.

I seriously need my brain to shut up and my anxiety to stop listening to that salty wrinkly bitch.

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book
