Sometimes you realize you’re a 40 something white woman on your way to a Pilates class carrying the tote bag of a local book store and you’re like…. Oh. Yes. I see now how this happens.
finally getting to Hide and Seek Switzerland (a DELIGHT of a season) so I can tell @mistresscurvy.bsky.social that I bought the home hide and seek game "for me" which is to say, for me but for her bc also she is gonna like looking at challenges and rules SO MUCH ❤️

I'm reading a book on how to improve language learning and retention and I have a bunch of quibbles but I am furious to report that changing my flashcards to the recommended format has made them much much easier to learn.

yes this is what I do for fun shh

at 4am Jinx decided no one has ever loved him and started batting at my hands to get petted. when I told him to go away he started knocking everything off my bedside table (and then hiding under my bed).

he is not cat off the day.

Sam and Ben together during jet lag tag or hide and seek is such an underrated comedy duo, real "wait... what??" vibes going both ways, a delight

went to pilates last night because my back has been hurting, but I think that was actually overcorrecting because this morning my back was like "nope!!!" and I had to turn my long run into a short walk.

as @mistresscurvy.bsky.social said, "goldilocks-ass body." what do you WANT????

i prefer being cat-called to being followed down the block being asked why i don’t allow jesus into my heart

my first attempt at going to a pilates class after work since the time change. leaving the house even though it’s sooooo dark???? that’s crazy work.

all I'm saying is it would make my life a little easier if fewer Japanese grammar points relied on double negatives

my gauge isn't particularly off, but I'm ready to split for sleeves when the pattern says I should still have one whole 12-row pattern repeat left to do. Gonna cast on a few extra stitches but this looks basically right to me....

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

when I get the "your item has shipped" message I do them the courtesy of waiting until the next day to check it, because I know that just means the label was printed out.

How do we feel about it still saying "label created" THREE DAYS LATER, though, because I'm getting crabby.

bus discourse makes me crazy. Half the time people in NYC who need the bus don't pay for it anyway, they hop on through the back door or, tbh, just walk straight past the bus drivers who are not paid nearly enough to give a single fuck.

YOU DON'T EVEN TAKE THE BUS
"The more-than-300 comments responding to that anonymous post are full of mothers looking for property in New Jersey or Florida, predicting that Mamdani’s promise to make buses free will lead criminals to rape and kill innocent passengers."

the most adult I ever feel is when I find a recipe for something and I already have all the ingredients and spices and whatnot in my pantry.

the amount of upkeep it takes to keep my body from fully just falling apart. wow.
