I had the same crash out. I think they enjoyed rage baiting adults.

All these young people that are downtown for church or something need to stop trying to meet Jesus so soon. Slow down. I’m sure the guy will forgive you for being late to worship. Definitely look if you’re walking out between two cars out into the middle of a street.

Did you all know that you can get movies streamed with your @kclibrary.bsky.social library card through kanopy? I found it in the Libby app. If you don’t live in the KC metro, it may be available at a library near you! There are other extras too. I haven’t checked them out yet.

Just had coffee and a snack from a work-sponsored coffee cart. I’m sad I missed the days of people selling sandwiches from a cart in cubicle spaces. Snacks are better when delivered from carts.

I’ve decided to keep just a piece of mine in a smaller pot and I’m going to put a cherry tomato plant where the monstera is currently. I do have a lot of grow lights. Its worth trying.

Chicken and dumplings. The kind where you simmer balls of dough on top of the stew. Or any variety of mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes are easier to come by than chicken and dumplings.

I was talking to my cousin’s teenager yesterday, and there was a lull in the conversation. She looked at me and matter-of-factly said “I’m going to go now.” and walked away. I love it. I want us all to be able to say “I’m going to go now“ and walk away without feeling weird.

I have stashes of ADHD drugs everywhere. I keep all of my prescription bottles in a bag that I affectionately call my weed bag.There’s no weed in it. It does have a tile tracker, though. I have a vintage pill box I keep in my purse with extra ADHD drugs and my work desk has a snackle box of drugs.

I don’t love the bathroom situation, though. Casey’s pizza and one bathroom? I’m scared.

I’m going to a family reunion today at a tiny farmhouse with one bathroom. I have a very large family. Normally, it’s a potluck situation, but this year one of my aunts& uncles have $200 in Casey’s rewards, so we are having pizza. 😂 I love it.

I downloaded Substack. I wasn’t expecting a feed. I was expecting newsletters. I was definitely not expecting the feed to be Racist Racist Baby animal Racist How is that the default algorithm? I follow a democrat law professor, an NPR host, and a handful of people the NPR host recommended.

I’ve decided to start a little geography/history project for myself. I’m terrible at geography, but I like history so I will learn them together. 👯‍♀️ I’m telling the internet so I don’t forget. Feel free to make recommendations.

Today’s gremlin breakfast was smashed sweet potato with salt and pepper with a side of plain nonfat Greek yogurt topped with grape nuts and muesli. And you know what, it slaps

Mel @melapoly.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I’ve decided there is a new breakfast category called “gremlin breakfast“ It may come with a requirement that you grew up in an ingredient only household. This is when you have 99% healthy food in your house and you let your cravings dictate your meals instead of a meal plan.

Please validate my childhood memory. In either Bannister or Oak Park Mall there was a Hickory Farms store that had a rotisserie or warmer with meat slices in it served on a stick. In my memory they were huge. They were giant glistening sausage lollipops (sausage slice). At 4 yo, mall = sausage 🍭

I looked up the Crown Center parking company who charged me $8 for 16 minutes even though I scanned the validation QR code. The internet is riddled with complaints about Metropolis. Can’t wait to join the class action lawsuit. I did finally get a refund because I said the magic word, “dispute”.

I didn’t have anyone this morning to ask if my new dress was see-through. I did some side squats and pliés in the mirror, but it’s just not the same as asking a person. It was fun at least!
