I just never thought Breaking Bad was all that good. Great cast. Great acting. Just a lame enough story that those things couldn't keep me interested. I also can't stand Matthew McConaughey, so not exactly my only (or my most) unpopular take.

I am, at the end of this day, just sincerely grateful that Dolly Parton lived, that she was who she was, and that we here got to be alive at the same time as she was. If I'm one hundredth of the person she was, I'll be able to take at least some pride in my life. What an incredible human.

Garden friends! Just keep your distance. All but one of these guys sting. The Io found its way onto my back, attached itself to my shirt, and did some painful damage to my right shoulder blade first thing this morning. Pretty little jerk.

What's in today's garden harvest basket? Peppers, squash, okra, pickling cucumbers, tomatoes, tomatillos, an onion, and some sweet corn. Not bad.

Nothing screams Night Patrol like the LAPD charging a guy with multiple felonies for documenting racism (+sexism, +homophobia) instead of, y'know, doing anything at all about the racism (etc.).

every time you write overly defensively you should remember that you are pursuing a strategy of writing careful sentences specifically for people who demonstrably either won't or can't read them

Years ago, I was at a fireworks display and overheard a small kid nearby say, "This is how they warned us that the British were coming!" I reflexively replied to the kid I didn't know, "No, kid. This is the glorification of bombs and gunfire." My parents were not amused. Nor were his. 🤷‍♀️

Early days. Tiny popcorn stalks, tiny peppers and tomatoes and green beans and carrots. Peas starting to climb in earnest. First group of greens maturing. Grading done. The good times are back.

This guy (as Xander and however flawed) was the epitome of wholesome masculinity. He was kind, loving, honest, self-reflective, selfless, protective, indignant, aggressive in the right circumstances, and so much more. I love this man I never met and I am devastated by his loss. 💔

Do you know how hard it is, in the face of all that's happening right now, to hold the anti-punishment line? Still here. Willing to argue individual cases and the blanket claim, like an asshole... Come on at me, I guess.

I only do 'songs I love' lists. My taste isn't supreme or authoritative in any way. Nor, I suspect, are the haters' tastes.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who is routinely embarrassed just to be alive, like in the sense that I am seen, or my thoughts are acknowledged, or I have to publicly confront a wrong, or that I said words aloud at a party. It's exhausting. I shouldn't feel like I have to stop existing, right?
