Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I've been traveling a lot for work this year and there has emerged a clear front runner for my biggest hotel pet peeve: No in-room mini fridge. I just want to keep some waters and Diet Cokes cold, please and thank you. 160

Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Unless I add anymore trips to my calendar, it looks like I'll have been out of town for 52 days/nights by the end of 2026 (40 of them will have been for work trips) and will have been to 10 different states this year. I like traveling, generally, but whew, that is a lot. 110
Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 16/07/2026It is hot, humid, and the air quality is in the "hazardous" ranking (it was 410 when I woke up this morning) from wildfires up north. This right here is why I don't complain about Minnesota winters. I miss you snow. 000
Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 01/07/2026I called my car insurance to update that my son is leaving for college soon & taking our old Subaru with him. Our policy is going DOWN $135 a year as a result, which is a lovely surprise. So far the only thing where college is saving us money (but I'm curious to see my grocery bills this fall) 060

Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 08/05/2026I'm pretty sure I saw my first loon of the season and it made my Minnesota heart so happy. 030
Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 08/05/2026I always think the singing of the national anthem at sporting events is dumb* but this is really taking in to the next level. (*slightly less dumb when it is two national teams playing each other, extra dumb when both teams are from the same country and/or children) 000
Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 07/05/2026I had an incredibly mediocre red velvet cupcake today and it made me confront a hard truth about myself: I'd probably eat an actual hockey puck as long as there was enough cream cheese icing on top 060

Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Oh, this is GORGEOUS. Orange is also my favorite color and this just delights me. 011
Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 30/03/2026This feels VERY disrespected to actual corgis, who would surely like to be excluded from the narrative 020
Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 30/03/2026Given the realities of our current situation, I’m not actually sure anyone can come up with fake news headlines that aren’t at least a little plausible sounding theses days 000

Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 11/03/2026Sometimes I enjoy watching in real time as people try to connect with me about how to integrate AI into my work and then quickly realize that I am a deeply dedicated AI hater. 0111

Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 03/03/2026I am not good at puzzles but here is one of the reasons I like them: if you have a puzzle out in a communal space, everyone will stop for a little while to work on it, even teenagers 080
Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 03/03/2026I read all the comments and I was still off in my guess by thousands of dollars. Good lord. 110
Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 23/02/2026Here’s a lesson I wish more men would internalize: just because a guy is cool to you and maybe even nice to your wife/daughters doesn’t automatically make him a “good dude”. How he talks about and thinks about and votes about women he doesn’t know matters too and often says more about his character 060

Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 18/02/2026It's snowing hard right now, with big fat flakes. I love watching it out the window and feeling like I'm living in a snow globe. I'm meant to live in Minnesota, I think. 080

Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 11/02/2026This is one of the Winter Olympic hills I'll die on: curling is A LOT harder than it looks and people dunk on it way too much 130
Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 10/02/2026It is so annoying! I hate doing updates for this reason. Everything is just slightly worse 110
Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 09/02/2026Especially when you hear that things like norovirus are racing through some teams. I’d do almost anything to avoid noro and I’m not training for the biggest game of my life 020
Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 09/02/2026Ah the particular joy of being a romance reader and discovering a new author you like and then realizing she has written like 40+ books … yesssssss… (Also the mild embarrassment of “discovering” an author who is like one of the top/most popular in the genre. Better late than never though!) 130
Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 06/02/2026We know it isn’t fake and we know that Trump is a vile racist. This administration is filled with the worst people alive. Everyone wearing MAGA gear is happily telling the world they are racists too. 030

Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 02/02/2026I’m in the thick of Minnesota winter, where 20 degrees feels pretty manageable. I’m traveling for work this week to CA, where the temperatures are in the mid-60s and my brain is short circuiting. Like, wait, what do I wear in 65 degrees again? Am I going to be the weirdo wandering around in shorts? 340
Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 02/02/2026Yes! It also doesn’t seem great for my normally beloved Sumo oranges either 130
Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 30/01/2026Catherine O’Hara was one of those actors that was always a delight to see on the screen because she was literally good in everything. You knew you’d be entertained because watching her face was always a perfect performance. 0120
Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 30/01/2026I have a list of names if the reaper needs some suggestions. We can crowdsource this, Grim, you don’t have to figure it out on your own. 010
Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 28/01/2026Same. I don’t think there is any chance of him getting in the race if Amy K runs 010
Wendy @wendyrmonkey.bsky.social · 28/01/2026One of my personal goals is to not mock public figures for the way their bodies (especially things they can’t control like height) but WOW my spirit is being tested by some people right now. Focus on the evil, self, not the height… 020
