I don't know what happened to Molly McButter, but I hope wherever she is she knows her legacy lives on every time I sing my cat's name to the tune of her jingle.

Okay, why did he say 32 days in such a weird way, and why didn't he leave the podium on camera? Grabbing my red string and a cork board....

Is it square footages or square feetage?

GallopingWoodchuck @genuinewoodchuck.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

I guess I just don't understand how footage of US forces blowing up buildings and probably killing people can be declassified, but the names of rapists who may be sitting in elected offices are redacted.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who woke up and has just been sort of wtf'ing it through the morning. This shouldn't be a thing, right? Can Canada come steal our train wreck away or something? Is that an option? Just, y'know, as a hypothetical. Obviously. Totally hypothetically.

Thinking about how offended I was when that leadership assessment for class scored me lower than expected for self-regulation, and also how hard I'm having to jump through my mental hoops today to not let a holiday guest ruin my good time. It's my holiday, too, dammit. I WILL ENJOY IT, or else.

I wish I'd figured out sooner that it's okay to not want to be a worker drone, but that exploring what gives me a sense of purpose would get me to the right work.

I just did the math and I've been dealing with my period for MORE THAN THIRTY YEARS What kind of absolute bullshit is this?! Literally had to use a calculator to double check myself Holy hell

GallopingWoodchuck @genuinewoodchuck.bsky.social · 23/09/2025

I just can't be bothered to get along with everyone again until one of us stops trying to oppress people and take away everyone else's rights just to feel special or whatever. No one owes you reconciliation if you aren't willing to reconcile your own toxic behavior.

How are we failing so many Constitution saving throws?

GallopingWoodchuck @genuinewoodchuck.bsky.social · 10/08/2025

It feels like an endless game of shouting, "They can't DO that!". But they do it anyway. What's going to be left to shout about at the end of it all? Will we even be allowed to shout?

GallopingWoodchuck @genuinewoodchuck.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

Like, metaphorically I feel like I'm approaching a boss fight, but literally I'm going to BE the boss. I don't know what to do with that?

I've had the same toilet for about 22 years and today I'm getting a new one. I'm trying to figure out if I'm feeling something about it. I mean, I've spent a lot of quality time on that toilet. But also, is a new toilet like a "treat myself" situation? I don't know what to do with this.

GallopingWoodchuck @genuinewoodchuck.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

You know how sometimes boys are programmed to be mean to people they secretly admire to artificially inflate their own pathetically underdeveloped sense of self? Unrelated: Nice Zelenskyy-inspired outfit you wore in Greenland, Vance. Totally not weird at all. Great cosplay.

GallopingWoodchuck @genuinewoodchuck.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

This feels like big Bert and Ernie vibes to me in kind of a great way.

GallopingWoodchuck @genuinewoodchuck.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

Has this all been an elaborate ruse to trick climate change deniers into buying electric cars...? (I mean, no, obviously it's about greed like just about everything else happening right now, but how weird that it's come to this, huh?)

000

GallopingWoodchuck @genuinewoodchuck.bsky.social · 10/03/2025

Everything is spinning out of control and we're all fed up with assholes throwing their privilege around, and I feel like a failure because I keep having to tell my team that some fights aren't worth it right now just to keep us rolling. I know it's bad for morale, and it's bad for us.

Anybody have any Ides of March plans or what? Really snuck up on me this year.

Is...is Marco Rubio this regime's Kylo Ren?

GallopingWoodchuck @genuinewoodchuck.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

A lot of people are going to need some time to warm up to the idea of actively rebelling, but small steps like these are going to help acclimate people who are hurt and angry by what's happening in the US. Even if the act itself doesn't make a huge impact, it will help us adjust our comfort levels.

Three specific times I felt the most embarrassed to be American in the last ten years: When Trump was elected the first time. When Trump was elected the second time. When Trump tried to bully Zelensky on live television in the Oval Office today.

Welp, February has also been 87 million days long.

When I was a kid, my grandpa would regularly call me and tell me he deleted files off his computer because he didn't know what they were for. To him, this meant they couldn't possibly be important, even though they were critical OS files. Every time, his computer stopped working.

I unironically cannot figure out if Musk is a real life supervillain or the most uninformed, disassociated, delusional megaboss on the planet. I mean, I guess it could be both?

The only silver lining to all this bullshit is that we might actually get our Star Trek future on the other side of it.

Relatable...I, too, give myself pep talks in the third person when I'm big scared of doing something. Take a deep breath and own it, Chuck. Baby steps are better than no steps!

GallopingWoodchuck @genuinewoodchuck.bsky.social · 04/02/2025

It seems profoundly unfair that as I get older I'm more prone to getting sick, but also unable to comfortably lounge in bed all day. What kind of bs is this?

000

GallopingWoodchuck @genuinewoodchuck.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

Okay. Okay, okay, okay. I need everybody to take a deep breath with me, and then maybe five or six more deep breaths. And then, after we collectively subvert this very natural panic response, we're going to all sit down together and figure out exactly what we need to do, step by step.

Someone please tell me Nic Cage has all of our historically significant documents ferreted away somewhere for safekeeping.

GallopingWoodchuck @genuinewoodchuck.bsky.social · 28/01/2025

Here's the thing...we shouldn't have to DEMAND the Dems push back. They damn well should be doing it already BECAUSE IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. You won't earn my vote by kissing my ass and making promises. You'll earn my vote by showing some common decency and rising to this moment.

If you have a "w" in your acronym, you're not shortening anything and everyone knows it.

Okay, but if technology will eventually be able to translate my cats' meows for me, what am I going to do with the time I'll save chasing them around the house meowing back at them while pretending I don't know that 90% of the time they just want to con me out of more treats by being cute?

GallopingWoodchuck @genuinewoodchuck.bsky.social · 26/01/2025

They should have made a powerpoint of Hegseth's tattoos during his confirmation hearing and asked him what he thinks their historical significance and their personal significance to him are. Then they should have had an actual panel of experts explain them to everyone, on camera.

GallopingWoodchuck @genuinewoodchuck.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

Okay, fine, Mitch voted no. Whatever his motivation was (righteous indignation? Stubborn loyalty to the old guard? Sudden deathbed sproing of conscience?), what he actually did was demonstrate that he no longer has a following.

GallopingWoodchuck @genuinewoodchuck.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

I'm not sad yet for tiktok, though I don't really expect to go back. What bothers me right now is that it all feels like a stunt. Banning something so that American companies are first in line to exploit American people doesn't feel like a security issue. It feels like a greed issue.

GallopingWoodchuck @genuinewoodchuck.bsky.social · 08/01/2025

I have a working theory that the only way we're going to be able to mitigate the demoralizing embarrassment of everything that's going to come with the new administration is to put our energy into decent, earnest, honest action ourselves.

I remember on this day four years ago coming in from my lunch break having just found out about what was happening at the capitol and having to explain to my boss at the time what was going on. She gleefully celebrated when Trump won the first time. Wasn't perturbed by what his followers did.

With bird flu getting tangled up in lactating creatures, what I really need to know is: When does Cheese Prohibition start, and what can I panic buy now?

Just watched a news anchor say something like "we'll have to wait and see" about annexing several countries that we definitely can't and absolutely shouldn't consider annexing. Just once, I'd appreciate a "WTF??" from one of these people instead of pretending it's normal and fine.

A beautiful thing: I may not understand the math, but I am still a human sodastream either way.

Anybody else so traumatized by employment that when you do get word that the bosses are doing an upright thing that employees have been campaigning for forever, you can only suspiciously side eye it for a little while until the proof has finally arrived?

Nothing ramps up my general frustration more right now than seeing an ED medication commercial during the news or an old white guy win a gameshow. I mean, aside from hearing about the rest of the stupid, terrible things happening right now. There's also that.

Finally got together with one of my friends groups for the first time in months. Since the last time we were all together, the only person who didn't previously have a cat acquired several, and we spent most of the evening just sitting around chatting about our cats. The most wholesome evening.

Oh, here we go...he played VIDEO GAMES and that was DEFINITELY more of a reason he chose violence than CHRONIC PAIN and A HEALTH CARE SYSTEM BUILT FOR PROFIT OVER PEOPLE. So glad NBC spelled that out for us. Thanks for that amazing journalism.

I've been ordering all the special edition sprayed page edge books (that cost the same as the plain editions) for the library, and we're going to play a little game to find out if people are more careful about dropping their library books in the bathtub when they're FANCY.

I got lazy on the holiday and decided not to make the giant fondue bread bowl appetizer when I had extra people coming over to help eat it. Thursday's failure is going to be today's kiddie pool full of cheese for dinner and I am EXCITED!

GallopingWoodchuck @genuinewoodchuck.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

Yesterday, I made a new and different meal from some holiday leftovers, so I have a second generation of leftovers in my fridge on top of the original leftovers. It's approaching "cousins x times removed" levels of complexity in there.

I love crafting, but I also love two adjacent hobbies: buying crafting supplies and procrastinating by doing literally anything but crafting.

I noticed the bad place is running a 40% off sale on their premium accounts. What interesting timing, I thought to myself, as I jabbed happily at the link to deactivate my account there.
