Wife: "It will be nice that Bryn is going out with her friend! We have all evening to do anything we want!"

Me: "I could work on my qual presentation without being interrupted!"

Wife: "... or we could have a date night."

Me: "oh, right, that's what I meant."

GRAD SCHOOL MESSES WITH YOUR BRAIN

If spreading peanut butter on a Hershey bar is wrong then, baby, I don’t wanna be right.

I don't get it. How is it possible that the GOP constantly flirts openly with antisemitic causes and personalities yet manages to maintain a status as the "pro-Israel party" in the US?

I couldn't take it anymore. Deactivated my account over at the birdsite. Absolute dogshit of a platform that was.

Giving gifts is great, but I fucking hate wrapping presents.

It finally happened! That moment that conservative pundits have been fretting about for years, “hOw WiLL yOu ExPlAiN gAy PaReNtS to YoUr KiDs?”

This is how it went down…

7 y/o: “Where is her mommy?”

Me: “she doesn’t have a mommy, she has 2 dads.”

7 y/o: “oh, OK.”

End. Fuckin’ easy.

I spelled "contemporaneous" right on the first try.

Wrap it up, I am declaring today a victory and headed home.

Beard status:

I can use it to tell which side of my body I slept on.

My dude, I am just looking for Thai restaurant recommendations...

I’d mind my beard turning gray way less if it would turn gray *~*~symmetrically~*~*

This “right side first” thing is horseshit.

If Twatter removes the “block” feature, I’m out.

Remember my fellow Adepts of the Machine

Fortuna Machina: Be kind to yourself

Hydratio Optima: Keep hydrated

Virtus Interconnecta: Be Excellent to each other

Non Sis Turbatio: embrace the principle of not being a dick

Assume Medicamenta Cotidiana: intake your daily medications

Saltare Ut Nemo Spectet: Dance like no one is watching

Gaudeamus Semper: Each day, save time for something fun, Party on!

The Omnissiah provides!

You know, even though old Twitter had problems, it still checked the “why I’m here box.” Got me news and sports and band info and science updates. But now? Holy fuck. Muskrat has burned it to the ground. Absolute dogshit.

Jester has done a great job curating a safe, reliable, open minded space here.

, Month 7:

If I’m doing work and school and family stuff, I literally can’t do anything that’s not one of those 3 things without feeling insanely guilty.

Some days I'm all "burn it the fuck down!" and "this is the downfall of our democracy!" and other days I just want Tina Fey and Taylor Swift to get along.

It is so GOD DAMN disappointing that the ultra-MAGA response to Donald Trump maybe committing crimes is "IT'S A SET UP, ALL HAIL KING TRUMP."

, Month 6:

The imposter syndrome has set in. But not the one where people "think they don't belong somewhere when the actually do," the real one where I *actually* don't deserve to be here.

That disappointment you feel when a team member shares their screen in a meeting and you see they've been watching Tucker Carlson.
