BUT once you are in the EU it’s easier to migrate to other EU countries. So now I just have to convince my husband to get a fully remote job so we can move to Portugal on digital nomad visas.

Visiting Europe always makes me wish I lived in Europe, but it’s hard to do as an American and I’m not sure how we could. Apparently it’s fairly easy to immigrate to Portugal but we don’t know any Portuguese and that would still be a 9 hour flight to visit my sister.

No good photos of Finland yet but I do have 47 pictures of my sister’s cat

@SaltyVeruca pretty appalling that she returned the dog because it chewed on stuff (dogs do that sometimes, it’s just life) but the big question I have is why she left something that important where the new puppy could reach it in the first place. If you let the new puppy get your passport or your $500 headphones instead of a pair of shoes you won’t miss much anyway, that’s 100% on you.

@danialexis almost everything Bunny does in that book points to him deserving what he got tbh

My sister and her wife are both at work and husband is sleeping so I’m sitting in the window seat by the open window, with coffee and a good book and a veeery tiny cat nearby.

I got coffee at the airport here and the lady was like is Brazilian medium roast ok? I said do you have a blond roast? She didn’t know what that was. So I said light roast? And she said oh the Brazilian roast is the light roast. I just said ok that’s fine, but like wat

In London Heathrow for a layover and by American standards I think I’m pretty reserved and conscientious but all these little quiet English ladies make me feel like a big clumsy American oaf

@tyghebright I’ve never seen a social media post more accurately call me out honestly

This same small child recently caused this incident: friend/dad was looking for his keys, late for an appointment, freaking out for AN HOUR. Finally the child is like “what’s wrong?” He says he can’t find his keys. The child says “oh! I know where they are!”, crawls under the bed and around behind the printer, and returns with his keys. “I hid them so they would be safe!”

So my friend’s small child is crying right now because he wants to hear “two little ants” on the radio but he can’t because IT’S A SONG HE MADE UP. And now his little brother is also crying because he is crying.

I fell down an internet rabbit hole and learned about Tana Mongeau and Brooke Schofield today, and I'm stuck on the irony of a co-host of a podcast about celebrities being cancelled eventually being cancelled herself for defending Trayvon Martin's killer on Twitter, causing her podcast to be cancelled as well.

I should’ve gone to sleep two hours ago but I’m too nervous/excited about leaving for vacation tomorrow and I can’t turn my brain off

Reddit is going for the throat today with Kid Rock and I’m here for it. Some of the best:

Kid Rock makes music for guys who have visitation rights for their kids but choose not to see them.

Kid Rock makes music for people that know the exact legal amount of Sudafed you're allowed to buy at Walgreens.

Kid Rock is the Fred Durst of Ted Nugents.

My husband just swatted a wasp out of the air with a flip flop and then, because it wasn’t dead and he was afraid to get too close to it, he trapped it in a pill bottle. If you have questions about this, well, so do I.

I used to keep journals but I stopped for a few years. I’m getting back to it now (like literally started today) and remembering how it helps me: it soothes my anxiety and organizes my mind, and it gives me a sense of control. It can become time-consuming if I let it, but it’s basically a self-care practice so it’s worthwhile.

It also really annoys me when people at work ask me a million questions about something *after I tell them I don’t know any more about it than they do.* I can guess, but so can they. And yes both of these complaints are about specific people and yes they are the same people.

It really annoys me when people at work just say “this thing isn’t right.” Okay, what isn’t right about it? How should it be? Give me something to work with.
