I was waiting at the train station, and some guy was coming up the elevator and yelled “Aaaaaaah!” in fear when he saw me. Then he came running up to me and asked me if I was his ex, and when I said I was not he asked me if I was sure. Um, yes.

My Welcome To Night Vale leggings!

David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest. It’s just a zillion loose threads of a novel that leads nowhere in particular.

When my SO bought me a present for my fortieth birthday that was something I would never use and clearly was for him (a rare bottle of bourbon), but he pretended it was a shared interest of ours. I don’t hate bourbon or anything but I very seldom drink any, maybe once a year, and I have yet to drink any from that bottle. It was wildly selfish.

Then when I turned 49 I got up that morning, and he asked me snarkily if I would be pretending if I was 39 for the rest of my life as some sort of hilarious joke about vanity. I am not vain at all and I don’t care how old I am, I loved my forties and have enjoyed my fifties so far.

Elon Musk is paying anti-immigration and anti-trans groups like the Tanron network to spread their rhetoric on social media.

Oh wait that one is true. Filthy piece of shit.

I like this one.

Little blue heron. Not so much rare but very rarely seen here.

Potato chips! We have salt and vinnies here too. Not unique to the UK at all.

Ketchup chips.

Let’s touch tubes.

Thriller utterly terrified me as a child.

It was just weird in the 80s. A very very different era.

Agreed.

Oat milk and coconut whipped cream. I had orange creamsicle.

Going to a burger joint in Buffalo tonight (seeing Neko Case tonight!) and they have great vegan burger options and vegan shakes. Not sure what I’ll have quite yet but tons of options.

It’s health care so obviously we were told that we’d have to be vaccinated against COVID or be fired, like many. Most people went along with it, but the CEO sent out a final warning email to the whole network, and this antivax dingdong somehow managed to reply all to the CEO giving him a patronizing lecture about how COVID wasn’t real, how nobody had died of it, and how he had read several patient charts that proved this, and how the CEO was making a very big mistake, and how he, this clerk, knew science better than the CEO did. He was fired for reading patient charts he didn’t belong in, of course. The email was super patronizing and he claimed to have an M.Sc and that meant he knew better, despite the fact he was working as a clerk, and gave all sorts of false “evidence”.

Anyway he was fired and reply all to the CEO is disabled.

Pour Some Sugar On Me. God I hate it so much.

Well but a lot of people would not have.

That was exactly it. I understand being self conscious for something but after a few hours surely we could have talked about something else.

Fuck the cops! I’m so sorry.
