Three more days of work til 9 days off (using only 3.5 days PTO). I can do this.

In bed before midnight? Who is she? Someone working on herself?

Is there a way to report ghost buses on @chicagocta.bsky.social? Because, like, wtf? I guess?

I’m sorry. Due to the weather, I am only able to be a wildly productive human. Personal progress happens thru photosynthesis I cannot be convinced otherwise. #SummerInChicago

Today my mom told me to just “put it on the monthly bill” in reference to me getting a new phone. I asked for no clarification. Tomorrow my parents are buying me a new phone. Why yes I am 40 and no, I cannot afford a phone bill. 😂😭

“Malort and Savior” won the meme game today. Happy Pope Day! Someone get me a new pope-ener.
If you don’t know what a pope-ener is, I feel bad for you.

I am unapologetically telling you right now that Chicago is going to be insufferable about this, there is still a fading cardboard John Paul II in a Michigan Ave storefront looking out at Grant Park because he spoke there *once.*

Which parent has my birth certificate? I don’t know.

I am actually, really, and seriously praying for people whose student loans are in default. Involuntary collections for people who were trying to get an education and forgiving PPP loans is absolutely fucked.

I simply can’t handle the rain today.

Tomorrow is my favorite day. Chicago theaters—give me your fake seasons. I love for this shit.

Anyone else watching “The Pitt” and wanna go donate blood?

Today’s “The Daily” is about an EO issued by shit for brains 2 weeks ago. And it is the strongest evidence we have that we are living in a dictatorship.

Appreciation post for my neighbors’ dog who MY dog is absolutely fucking obsessed with. He cries when he sees her outside, hears her in the hall…just wants to be near her while they both chew up sticks in the front yard.

Is it 10AM, the first Tuesday of the month? Or the actual end of days?

It’s easy to blackout when you have no money. You’re welcome, fellow liberals.

Hot take: I think my mom should be the next pope. She likes Jesus and Italy. Plus it will keep her occupied while she’s retired, and it will give me a nice place to stay in Italy. The campaign starts now.

Nick got one of those Oura rings. Every time we are at a play, his ring logs it as a nap.

Wut.

Gay men. Straight women. Now is the appointed hour.

They are distracted. They are slightly drunk. They are feeling nostalgic about (checks notes) mayonnaise for some reason.

Go to the place agreed. Enact the ritual. Wrest the control they have so clumsily squandered. Abracadabra amoroonana.

If CostCo clerks are going to make $32/hr, that means if you work 32 hours for 50 weeks you will make $51,200. Which is a lot of fucking money. How many part time folks with MFA degrees can they handle?

My last weekend of my 30s!!! What are we doing? LOUNGING.

I watched my favorite movie tonight (Crazy Rich Asians) so it was an amazing evening.

We should not have to rise before the sun.

The end of Hacks Season 3 is everything.

My dog is a floppy mess who knows you did your absolute best this hump day. Go you.

Ok well I am loving THE PITT.

Husband just started saying “fuck fuck fuck fuck” and ran into the bedroom he hasn’t been in for an hour. I’m sure everything is fine.

Fine. I will accept that I’m getting sick this week. But only because it won’t interfere with any theatre plans I have.

lol started my year paying my Amex bill a day late due to sheer ignorance. Okayyyy let’s do this.

I probably shouldn’t watch elf for the third time this holiday season, right?
