I keep my window open most days, & I hear a ton of snippets of conversations as folks walk by. Today's snippet: "Don't just search your heart, search your knowledge as well." Good advice!

Genuinely one of the wildest baseball games I've watched in a while. But hey, whatever it takes, right? Go Guards!!!! ⚾

BFF invites us over for dinner and I ask what time. She says "we're eating really late today, at 6:30!" Us, who usually eat at like 8pm: That's sooooo late, we might be in bed by then 🤣🤣

Direct quote from me: "I'm tired of young white dude protagonists, give me an older Asian woman with creeky knees who can still kill you in an instant any day." Much thanks to Fonda Lee & Shannon Chakraborty for making my dreams come true!

If she hits "now" & we can't play right away, we'll hit "play later" & she stops bothering us. And every time I give them treats I hit "snacks now" & both cats come running, so they definitely understand what that means. Evie just isn't food motivated & never wants anything later 🤣

Current Definitions: "All Done": stop what you're doing & pay attention to me "Play": play immediately "Pets": pet me then play "Now": play immediately "Help": open the window Unpressed buttons so far: "Later" "Snacks" But she definitely knows what both of them mean!

Update on talking cat: Evie used the "help" button for the first time today. I was confused because until now, every button push has been a variation on "play." But she wanted me to open the window for her! She actually did need help! So proud of her for using her words 😻

I'm watching Legends of the Hidden Temple, and I feel so bad for the kids who lose. Their little faces are so disappointed! Then they're like "you're not going away empty handed, you get a gift!" And it's like, a box of nerds or a yoyo 🤣😭 Watching this as an adult just hits different 🤣

Sister Sage wanting everyone to just kill each other already so she can fuck off into the mountains and read forever in peace is so relatable.

I'm flattered by how often I get asked "is there nothing you can't do?" There's actually a lot I can't do, but also, within my lane, no, there's actually nothing I can't do! 😁

Thanks, Gmail, I don't need your bigoted editor.

Being from New Orleans, I don't play with weather stuff! Definitely not driving to an event when there's a tornado warning.

It's so funny to see the people who actually care about the weather and the people who don't. There's always a couple people in the chat who are like "it's not that bad, it's literally not even raining" and then others who are like "I'm in the basement with my cat."

There have been 6 water main breaks since Jan. 31 in NOLA, and 12 boil water advisories this year so far. When I tell people that the infrastructure in NOLA is so much worse than Cleveland, some think I exaggerate. I don't lol

Not my fun, cozy little goblin book getting real 😭 "That's*politics*, Murray." "Well, yeah. Lotta people die of politics."
A screenshot of text inside a book that reads: 
"Say you've got people getting tired of the war. Then you get a bunch of goblins showing up and wiping out a whole human village. Do you think those people are still going to be tired of it?"

This is the first year where I truly felt in my bones that "everywhere else, it's just a regular Tuesday." Bradley & I celebrated, but no one else around me cared. I don't actually miss Mardi Gras for a lot of reasons, but it's definitely weird (& wonderful) how contained it is! ⚜️

Found a brewery doing a Mardi Gras party! Having gumbo and beignets after having Popeyes and king cake earlier. A proper unhealthy food day.
Two white people in Mardi Gras gear smiling. One is wearing a tye-dyed Tipitinas t-shirt and the other is wearing a Mardi Gras mask and beads. Behind them is a purple, green, and gold Mardi Gras garland with fleur de lis.

Toilets are still winning for me, but the Good Will Dunkin was very good also, as a 90s kid. Best nostalgia baiting for sure.

So far, the toilet commercial wins for me. "Take a look at your pee" to the tune of "Take a look at me now"? Singing toilets of all kinds? No notes

Oh and Blanche, Rose, and Sofia own a hotel in it. So they sell Blanche's house and move into the hotel. Cheech Marin is the cook and Don Cheadle is the hotel manager!

Heck yeah! There's a sequel series to Golden Girls that only got one season called The Golden Palace. Bea Arthur wasn't in it, but they added the other two. I actually really like it!

Watching The Golden Palace (sequel to Golden Girls), & the episode where Blanche learns about racism & the symbolism of the Confederate flag is still super relevant. Golden Girls has been pretty progressive for a late 80s/early 90s show (although it definitely has its "not funny anymore" moments).

It's truly wild to see so many people speaking out about ICE while staying silent about Palestine, or refusing to believe that Palestine is occupied. If you hate what ICE is doing here in the U.S., you should also hate what Israel is doing to Palestine.

They also apparently have to cut the dolls' hair annually because the yarn gets all stretched out and fuzzy because of all the humidity. Fun fact!
