I'm an atheist but I also, when I need strength, wear a glass pendant with my grandmother's ashes incorporated into the glass and ask her to lend me her stubbornness, etc.

Both Joyce Carol Oates and William Gibson are alive and on Bluesky, I've read both of their works, but it's obvious which one I follow and which I don't, and why.

all hobbies should have compost. you turned your wooden bowl poorly? flopped your mug? sewed your wallet crooked? painted your mini sloppy? put it all in the yard under a tarp and throw eggshells and coffee grounds in there. next year will be amazing

I sent a chronic line-cutter to the back of the lunch line today when I caught him at it. He grumbled but did it. Not gonna lie, it felt good.

This is the kind of thing I mean when I say a lot of people are performatively as weird as possible for attention. I think it's to make up for a lack of a real personality.

Most of the time I have heard a song out there in the world and I don't know who sings it or what it's called because it's not like they announce it like they used to do on radio. And in this case I'm probably thinking, "Ugh, another fucking country song, barf."

if you’re asking me why i haven’t heard a particular popular song, i can tell you’ve never switched radio stations when a song you hate has come on, or turned a radio off to enjoy silence instead when there’s nothing good is on. you do you but we don’t have much to talk about when it comes to music

I wore a mask at work the last two days because of my cold, and one of the kids was too for the same reason. We've been asking each other how we're feeling and wishing each other to get better soon. Today we both noticed we weren't masked and were like, "Yay for feeling better! 😄"

Today's lunchbox doodle is a weird one:
A peeled banana wearing a sandwich like a vest, waving a hand. A speech bubble from off-screen says, "Hi, Mr. Banana!" 
Speech bubble from the banana says, "Hi! Like my new vest?"
This is because I packed my kid a peanut butter and banana sandwich today.

Nice to know that when I tell my kid that I'm moving his favorite meal to later in the week when I'm not sick and can do the extra work for it, he wails like I told him he would never be eating it again. 😒 Okay you carry on lamenting, I'm going back to sleep.

I really miss not knowing or giving a shit about the politics of whoever made the things I use and enjoy. Now every tiny choice I make is a political or social act and it's fucking exhausting.

A nectarine I bought a week ago. Light like it's made of Styrofoam. Yields and then rebounds to a squeeze like a rubber ball. Doesn't show any hallmark of being ripe. Bite into it and it's a little crunchy but tastes pretty good. This is witchcraft.

I think the reason reading a book is so calming and centering in the way that reading online stuff isn't, is because there's no sense of urgency to hurry up and get it read before it slips into the stream of constantly updating and refreshing feeds and is lost.
