I’m not feeling very patriotic today, but I did laugh out loud…

I am so at peace right now standing on the deck under the patio umbrella in the rain listening to multiple fireworks shows from several directions with the flickers of lightning bugs all around

Why is it that my drive thru orders are only ever wrong on the rare occasions I don't check it before I get home? Like there has to be one of those universe laws for this, right?

The videos of the Tartan Army in Boston are giving me such joy I wanna be in that uplifting party chaos so bad right now lol And I pray to the world cup gods they stay in it long enough to be here to experience the US party chaos that is the 4th of July

I'm in the process of moving, which has forced me to wear socks and shoes all day, multiple days in a row I'm ready to rip my feet off or do a murder I've always joked my feet are claustrophobic, but damn working from home has really destroyed what little sock/shoe tolerance I had 🫠

When I left this morning, this squirrel was eating a chicken wing. Got home and the same squirrel (has a unique fur tuft that the photo didn't capture well) was chomping down on a pizza slice like half its size Either a good feast day or maxed out their urban foraging skill tree, either way, legend

I was stuck at my desk literally all day, but I could seeeeee the good weather. And that glimpse was enough to make me super fidgety and have my internal monologue fixated on alcohol slushies and mischief The timing tho 😭

Started reading Dungeon Crawler Carl for some mental health boosting absurdity during *waves hands* And the first living human he encounters is a fucking ICE agent?!?! Like god fucking dammit So I guess this is my warning to others, if that's something you want to avoid at this particular moment

Cackled the whole time I was making this button It was a very much needed morale boost

A white button with a black ring on the outer edge with the text "It's an icy day in Minnesota and you are a noisy loon." The middle features a drawing of a loon in the art style of Untitled Goose Game and three lines indicating it's making noise

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

There's a book I read years ago called Milk, Sulphate, and Alby Starvation. In it, Big Milk would go after folks knocking milk products, including for lactose intolerance reasons. Up to assassins. Anyway, there have been too many news stories in recent years that have made me think about this book

During difficult times it's important to take a break & recharge your batteries If that looks like dancing, enjoying art, or learning something new in good company, I rounded up some events at TCG that might fit the bill And if you're staying home for safety, plenty of them are virtual too
