As a millennial I'm convinced that if I watch a single tiktok I will instantly crumble into a fine dust

The smart thing would be to stay here until the economy changes (ha!) but please please please feel free to SEND ME ARCHIVES AND LIBRARY JOB POSTINGS IN YOUR AREA. I could easily be enticed to jump ship.

It is mid-September. It is 101 degrees. The ground is cracked. Even the bamboo is dead. My yard is a sad hellscape. Please send me job postings in your area.

It’s 3:19 in Austin, Texas, and it’s 101 degrees.

The ground is dry. All the grass and leaves are dead. There are big cracks in the dirt from dryness.

A large area of running bamboo plants, about 15 feet high. They are all dead. The grass is also dead, and the ground is cracked and dry.

Whenever I get to spend time simply shelving at work I can feel my mental health instantly improving. If there were such a thing as a full-time shelver job with benefits, it would be my dream job. But in America, if you have a job that doesn't involve making decisions, we don't let you earn a living

The disorganization of pharmacies in 2026 sure makes it feel like society could collapse any second.

I picked a great moment to watch all four seasons of Nathan for You for the first time. (I just finished season 3, where Nathan walks a wire 80 feet above Los Angeles wearing full prosthetics and pretending to be another guy so that the other guy can claim the glory and get out of a rut.)

What Dolly taught us is that it is in fact possible to be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams of avarice but still be a fundamentally good person with a strong moral compass, and the only reason more rich people aren't like that is because they don't want to be.

Does a day go by where I don’t think about the UT football urine chart? (No.)

Texas Longhorns “hydration chart,” where the lightest colors are “championship” levels, and the darker colors are “selfish teammate” and “you are a bad guy.”

Hard to overstate how sad I am that Hoover’s closed and that they closed when I couldn’t drink and I didn’t get to have one last beet-a-rita. I will dream of that drink forever.

Starting an alt for anyone not in the he-man kid haters club. I’m @partysizegripesoda because familysizegripesoda is one character too long. I will be talking about being a parent and such.

The handmade sign from Our Gang (aka the Little Rascals) reading, “HE-MAN WOMUN HATERS CLUB” but with the “womun” scratched out and replaced with “kid.”

I started listening to a new-to-me garbage spooky podcast, and the hosts keep busting into Austin Powers voice. I looked it up, and they are baby millennials. Why, millennials? Why are we like this?

I will say here that I have a newfound appreciation for human life. Every life is a fucking miracle. I understand less than ever how some people can be so awful to other people for no goddamn reason. I now see atrocities as a personal affront.

It's really fucked up that if you go to the hospital for any reason now, they make you sign a form saying you consent to them using AI to analyze your data. You can't opt out. The options are 1) consent or 2) go home, and, by the way, go fuck yourself.

One of my new super sensory powers is the ability to taste the geosmin in the local tap water. I can taste the absolute hell out of it despite being so congested I’ve barely smelled anything in months. It’s not a fun power, turns out.

Not only do I not have today off, I'm on the reference desk. So I get to sit here for hours in an empty library. There are more staff members than patrons in this building. Why is it so important to force us to go through with this charade? Anyway, shoutout to my fellow desk jockeys today.
