Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I think this Trader Joe’s one is just one big block, but it’s a hilariously bad example because it’s meant to be fancy French butter, not everyday butter. Trader Joe’s sells that too, in regular stick sizes (4 for $3 so less than $1/stick!). He’s such an out of touch weirdo. 000
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Me: It’s been a hard day, I’ll just settle down and watch a comforting episode of feel-good TV. Ted Lasso writers: the fuck you will! 😭 192
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I learned about him after he ran his mouth during/after his airport detention, but still didn’t really know who he was or why anyone would care about his opinions. 000
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 22/09/2026if subtitles are ok…Have you watched Call My Agent on Netflix? It’s French and they just had a movie come out last week (5+ years after the show ended). 220
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Cc @hamilton4kansas.bsky.social team - he’s writing your ads for you! Guessing most Kansans don’t want to pay for an unnecessary war in Iran. 021

If your consultants knew the secret sauce on how to win red states, we'd have been out of this mess years ago. Try a different playbook. Run the damn ball on protecting equal rights for all & make them stop you. 1135
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Same! I also just have small hands and it’s uncomfortable to hold the big phones. 120

Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 14/08/202622 years! Then and now. Happy anniversary @jakelupardus.bsky.social I love you! 191
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Happy to see this from someone not from Kansas City since It mostly felt like that episode was made just for us! 0110
Reposted by Laura LupardusAlicia @kcgoddess29.bsky.social · 06/08/2026EVERYONE WATCH THE FIRST EPISODE OF THE NEW TED LASSO SERIES BECAUSE IT’S A LOVE LETTER TO KANSAS CITY AND ITS INCREDIBLE 1162
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 06/08/2026That Ted Lasso episode was just a perfect little love letter to my hometown. 💙 KC 031
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 17/07/2026I wish they had skim and not just 2% (unless that’s changed since I last looked) 010
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 12/07/2026We have these and yellow-crowned ones at the park behind our house we see every night on our walks. My husband thinks they look like flying penguins! 190
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 06/07/2026I have resorted to Trader Joe’s frozen rice - microwaves in 3 minutes and turns out perfect every time. Worth it to me even though I am sure the cost/serving difference would be alarming if I bothered doing the math. 120
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 02/07/2026There is a French TV show called “A Very Secret Service” about their equivalent to the CIA portrayed as bumbling doofuses and it’s hilarious. (Spoiler) I actually think a plot line is them causing the Cuban missile crisis! 110
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Think they are donating it to his library or something? To make it “legal” 010
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Every time someone asks where we are from (it’s been 8 years since leaving): “we live in Houston. But we’re from Kansas City” 152
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Literally the joke I was going to make and decided against it 🤣 010
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 13/06/2026This use of label-making by the Hampton Inn entertained me for some reason so I thought I’d share. 160
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 27/05/2026I admit that I have a bit of PTSD from the Allred campaign that made me read this and worry about how he may try to start throwing trans kids under the bus now since that is apparently the playbook for courting Republican votes. Trying to withhold judgment & hope for better this time! 100
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 24/05/2026My father-in-law (who I disagree with on almost everything except loving dogs) says “everyone thinks their dog is the best dog, and everyone is right” 000
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 19/05/2026At my college graduation we were instructed to hand the person a card with our name written phonetically. 030
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 15/05/2026On my last zoo visit (in Lapland, Finland) I learned that the animal we call moose is called elk in Europe, and they don’t have a name for what we call elk because they are only in North America (whereas moose are spread throughout the arctic-ish regions of the world). 000
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 01/05/2026Whenever people said “this is the most important election of our lives” (in 2020/2024) I would point out no it was 2016 because we lost the Supreme Court. Unfortunately many of us won’t live long enough to undo this damage, unless Dems finally grow a spine and expand it. 2150
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Today I discovered what a roseate spoonbill is! Hanging out with a snowy egret. The walking path behind our house is a trove of interesting wildlife! 020
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 16/04/2026I think mine are cuter together so here are two of both of them! 161
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Oh I thought those were wings but now I see they have fingers (possibly making a peace sign?) also one of those things (maybe supposed to be soldiers?) resembled Chewbacca to me at first glance. 030
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 13/04/2026I worked for a large strip company (50+ locations) for 8 years and don’t recall ever hearing of OSHA visiting, though it would’ve been interesting to see what they found. Local inspectors (and other authorities) shut down clubs for various reasons though. 110
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 10/04/2026One of the many Texas things they think are superior but I think are overrated. Not HEB though it’s actually good. 000
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 09/04/2026Do you ever go to Jaleo in Disney Springs? I may have accidentally gone twice in four days my last trip to Orlando. 100
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Does this mean lasagna is a sandwich? (Break in carbohydrates, meat and cheese between) 220
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Wait it turns out senators can say these things? On Al Gore’s Internet? 🤯 231
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 06/04/2026I learned this as embarrassingly recently as just now! 010
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 05/04/2026Can you cover his ears with foil to protect them? 120
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 05/04/2026Reminds me of one of my favorite overheard quotes of all-time. Random lady at the chaotic CLT airport baggage claim: “Charlotte, always a shit show” 020
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Last week when a trending post asked which song they’d play to torture you to confess to something, that song was my answer! My brain chooses to self-torture with it at least a few times a week. An ear worm for sure. 110
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 03/04/2026I just learned (via a Facebook post where the OP was getting destroyed for calling it a “nuisance animal”) that they have native otters 🦦 living in Lake Conroe. Only 50 miles from me…May need to relocate. The nutria living in our retention pond aren’t nearly as cute. 010
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 30/03/2026Same - hopefully it won’t be 20 more years before we do it again! 💙 010
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 30/03/2026Thanks for hosting and welcoming us! Nice to meet several people in person we’ve followed here and the other place a long time. Go Royals! 031
Laura Lupardus @lauralupardus.bsky.social · 29/03/2026Ok agree the actual sentiment from Slotkin is crap but at least she recognizes that we need to refer to Kansas City like it’s the equivalent of a state. I never tell people I’m from Kansas (or Missouri), always just KC. 030
