My cosmic sleeve is finished, so I spent all weekend posing in the bathroom.

when you know you’re absolutely killing it in your Warp Speed trucker hat and Cruel Intentions t-shirt. (My husband hasn’t seen me in almost a week - I need to remind him at first glance what he’s been missing!)

The four stages of Face ID refusing to recognize me. The existential dread is real.

Over my years working at a call center, my professional phone persona has developed into a mix of Uhura and Scream’s Casey Becker. It’s frazzled competence meets ever-heightening anxiety. But with a smile!

Peter David’s comics were the first I read to feature gay characters in a positive light - a huge deal to me as a closeted gay youth - and his work had a unique humor and heart to it. Rest in peace, Peter - thank you for giving happiness to so many over the years! www.newsweek.com/peter-david-...

I watch Savannah Bananas for the dancing and the uniforms. Which was very apparent when I tried using baseball terminology last night. Me: I like that guy standing on that one base! That’s second base, right? The one behind… throw base? Dwight: The pitcher’s mound? Me: That name makes sense too.

This Mother’s Day my parents and Dwight’s mom met for the first time! Distance and circumstance prevented it up until now, but this year we finally came together to form an unstoppable force. And now ain’t nothing gonna break our stride! ❤️

The other day I was walking the halls on my break and thought everyone I passed was very obviously checking out my chest. I was like, “Ladies! I know the pecs are alluring, but my eyes are up here.” Then I realized they were really looking at my Administrative Professionals Day bling.

I sometimes get in arguments with AI. What I appreciate though is that unlike humans, AI will let me micromanage how the arguments end…

sometimes I’m in a weird mood and I take it out on whoever happens to be sending me a random spam text that day

@ddpolitte.bsky.social and I first met when we were both lost in the same cornfield. We helped each other escape He Who Who Walks Behind the Rows and then went for coffee. The rest is history!

Earlier when trying to type “I have a big nerd crush,” my thumbs were off target so it came out as “I jave a bog nerd crish.” Which I sort of love. It’s giving Jabberwocky (‘twas brillig and the slivey toves) meets Sims (sul sul). So this weekend I hope everyone is jave a bog nerd crish!

This morning my husband @ddpolitte.bsky.social said, “You look… nice.” That pause! He was going to say “casual” but didn’t want to sound critical. But this is my formal JLA shirt. The casual one has Hawkman. (casual b/c he’s shirtless and hairy-chested) (Hawkman’s my favorite. For his aesthetics)

My Tik-Tok will always be the lovable mechanical man from Oz. And that Tik-Tok can never be banned. Except possibly by Ozma’s decree, but she would never. Also, of late he lives on my upper arm!

I always feared that someday I’d find myself arguing with AI about whether Buffy the Vampire Slayer ever said the line, “My hat has a cow.” At least I won the argument! Although it’s possible there are no real winners in this scenario:

Such sad news. BTVS means a lot to me and so many other people - Dawn was a big part of the show, so Michelle Trachtenberg touched a lot of people’s lives. 39 is way too young. ew.com/michelle-tra...

Now that Marvel Insider is ending and I’ll never achieve my goal of being drawn into a Marvel comic, I’ll just have to go back to telling people that Dr. Druid was based on me.

A few birthdays ago my niece @jessicaelser.bsky.social gave me a Buffy the Vampire Slayer blanket. Sometimes I’ll discover Buffy making interesting faces on it… (The first two were created by my husband @ddpolitte.bsky.social; the second two were just happenstance)

Dolly Parton is to Buffy as Lucille Ball was to Star Trek, via their production companies Sandollar and Desilu. I love that my two favorite fictional universes both have iconic founding mothers!

I often rap in panic during a crisis too, but people are always like “Now is not the time for Salt-N-Pepa!”

This comic from my childhood is why - even though I like cats - I’m always nervous around a cat person. I don’t want them to tear me demon from demon.

This is the ceiling of my office men’s room. The entire time I’m in there I’m worried I’ll hear giggling and see a face peering down at me.

I just deleted my Meta accounts. I like to think in that moment Zuckerberg was all, “No, I sense I’ve lost Franklin!” But that’s what happens when you make monstrous alliances. You lose Franklin.

If I’m ever killed by Iron Man on TV, I’d like this child to refrain from describing me.
