I bought FOUR (4) things at the Dollar Tree yesterday and it was $16. It was fine when everything went up 25¢, but now everything in there just has its own price like a regular store. I'm sure the employees still make minimum wage, though. Reminder that the federal minimum wage is still $7.25. 😡

Toby: how did you feel about it? Meg: about what? Toby: I guess, the wiring in pens Meg: like pens for writing? Toby: pens! Meg: that you write with? Toby: with an "I" Meg: you're definitely pronouncing it with an "e" Toby: I don't know! #tobysleeptalk

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Coming home from a long trip is a lot like being in the Blue's Clues house. Hello bed! Hello toilet! Hello bidet! Hello shower! Hello toiletries! Hello snacks! I'm so happy to see you all again!

On the flight across the Atlantic, I got a pop-up on my seat back screen telling me to "click here for live tracking of your checked bags!" I sure as shit hope there are no updates during the flight.

Just got in the cab to head to the airport. As we hugged and waved goodbye to Toby's mum, her parting words to us were "give those pussies a nice stroke for me!" ☠️

I think it would be rad if the @portlandfire.bsky.social would use the audio clip of Michael Stipe singing "FIIIIIIIIIIIIIRE" from R.E.M.'s "One I Love" when the team goes on a run. That would be 🔥 #wnba #portlandfire

I love live shows and am always happy to show my enthusiasm for a performer with a welcoming round of applause when they take the stage, but I really resent being repeatedly prompted to cheer before I've been entertained. FOH with that "I can't hear you!" and "what's up [city]?"

Saw my 18yo niece in her senior production of The Hills of California this weekend. B/t that show and The Laramie Project last fall, I wonder if her drama teacher is trying to emotionally traumatize all these students. They were AMAZING and I'm so proud of her, but it was a heavy show for teenagers.

Saw my niece in Hills of California last night, the final play of her high school drama program. Blown away by how beautifully the cast handled really heavy, adult themes. Cried my eyes out, as expected. Tomorrow we'll see my younger niece in a dance recital. Hopefully won't cry.

Toby got laid off on our birthday last week, which sucked (and continues to suck until he finds another job in this terrifying market), but it's not quite as bad as the friend-of-a-friend who got laid off with his kid sitting next to him at Take Your Daughter to Work Day. ROUGH.

Remembering that time in 2005 when my coworker complained about her roommate destroying her $20 tweezers. I'm as perplexed now as I was then about how any tweezer technology could warrant that price tag -- in 2005 dollars, no less! Can I really be missing out on a 20x better tweezer experience?

Toby and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary last month. This afternoon, I called customer service for my credit card to update my name. They make you do it by mail, which is why I haven't completed this yet. Here's hoping I still have the motivation to do the thing when the letter arrives.

Age 7, I got a solid gray kitten and named her Mittens. I'd heard of this cat name and I thought it was hilarious so I insisted our cat would be Mittens, not realizing the reason some people name their cats things like this. I wonder how many times the vet was like "uh, do we de the right cat?"

#NCAA thoughts: I hate the #transferportal. I'm sure decision-makers have discussed this before, but what if they only allowed one "free" xfer, and bring back the required redshirt year for players who xfer more than once. College rosters are less stable than the pros now, and that sucks for fans.

That's not a "fake debt collecting business," that's a "debt holding business." The difference is negligible but the former implies someone committed fraud. He didn't. His business has the right to hold whatever debts it purchases and may act or not on those debts for whatever reason it chooses.

If you ran a marketing campaign calling it "Black Friday week," or worse, "Black Friday month," fuck you, we're done. Also not shopping any Black Friday shit even if you do understand the definition of "Friday," because I'm trying hard not to be a part of the problem.

Why is it that the people who are giving the most are some of the ones who have the least to give? Most of our population is generous. Most of the resources are controlled by the selfish.

My 20 year college reunion is next week, and I was first notified of it *last week.* I know I went to a small school, but it's been 20 years; do they really not think their alumni have spread their wings enough to need more than 2 weeks' notice for a major event?
