A couple of years ago, an electrician tried to convince us to install a "smart" electrical panel that would balance our power usage via an app, turning off electricity to various appliances as needed. We declined. "I don't want to worry about my fridge getting hacked," I said. He laughed.

Microblogging removes some of the emotion behind that, but to elaborate, we joked about that for years after. I'm still loosely in touch with those friends years later.

I met my childhood friend group while learning about monarch migration in 2nd grade. I was new & put in a group w/ kids I didn't know on the day of the classroom monarch release. The monarch was being stubborn & we tried warming the wings & the monarch decided to hop onto a friend's nose & stay.

Sometimes when your traps hurt you just need to writhe around on your back, doing resistance stretches, while listening to an audiobook. I feel so refreshed. All the love to the random yoga instructor who first taught me the rolled up blanket under the spine stretch because omg 😌

This was so refreshing to watch. I think a lot of people who criticize the use of references often aren't artists and they assume everyone is creating from scratch---and I also think this is why some people think they *can't* make art. Because they cut out a significant aspect of the process!

It’s just a 5 minute art tutorial, but life kept me from posting creative videos like this on YouTube for YEARS. The only reason I can do this at all is because kind strangers offered us a rent-free space in their home while we recover. Starving artists just starve. Supported artists create. 💚

Additional emphasis on the fact that I get very grumpy when everything feels sticky & I've had to empty my dehumidifiers twice a week for like the last month. My ultimate crash out will be buying a ticket to the southwest & get mummified in the desert.

I'm also reeling from the stress of the current global everything to the extent I need human interaction, so not being able to go to my local spots and see familiar faces has perhaps pushed me over the edge a bit. I also just really need a nap.

My favorite breakfast spot was packed with sportsball fans. So I went to a place I hadn't in a while. It was very lackluster. I went to a coffeeshop I hadn't been to before bc all of the downtown ones were packed---the coffee was good but the person on cash register seemed high & it was awkward.

I strongly desire to go someplace remote and scream. This is a vent about both climate change and all of the football tourists clogging the downtown area today. Regardless of obvious connections, I am stressed by both.

But why do people steal bikes in the first place? I know there are myriad reasons, but a significant one is, ofc, transportation. Need public transit too. Making sure people can get where they need to safely & reliably regardless of method needs to be the foundation of expanded bike infrastructure.

If we, as a society, are serious about encouraging more bike transportation, we'd build more secure bike parking instead of putting the onus on people whose bikes are stolen.

The process for getting disability through Social Security is such a prime example of this. Nearly everyone gets turned down on their first time applying. The entire process, with appeals, can take between 1 to 3 years. And during that time you CANNOT work.

I tried showering to get over it at least enough to do laundry, but showering, alas, means wet hair & a humid apartment for several hours & I just want everything to stop feeling so sticky. Like I'm emptying *two* dehumidifiers for my tiny apartment weekly.

Is there a word for something that feels like a rage-induced panic attack? Because I'm having that about the weather right now. I'm so tired of the heat. It was so hot in the grocery store that I was dripping sweat when I got home & I've just been so angry about it for hours I could cry if provoked.

Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.
