Didn’t work. I wish this week a very pleasant trip to the bowels of hell.
It was a garbage week, but I’m kicking off the last day by watching some reality TV before work and I think this is gonna turn everything around for me.

In a truly stunning feat of passive aggression, my old temple sent me an End of Year Donation Acknowledgement in the amount of zero dollars.

I’m watching so many videos of Byron when he was fat and mischievous. I had forgotten this one of him unboxing some catnip treats.

I’m looking through my Byron memories and had to share this one. In my old place in Hollywood, he used to get into the bottom cabinet and push the treat drawer forward from behind, so he could rummage around in it.

I still like this one. He made me laugh more than anyone else I’ve ever met.
In which Byron tries to bully me into giving him water (he has water in the kitchen.)

I said goodbye to a special guy today. My heart is shattered, obviously, but we spent a very special day together, sitting on the porch listening to the birds and enjoying the late afternoon sun for the last time while we waited for the vet. I think he was happy out there.

There are downsides to starting work at 8am, to be sure, but this morning I experienced something I didn’t think was possible: I did 75mph on the 10 freeway.

I checked in on Instagram for the first time in a while and everyone is posting pictures of themselves in 2016? Why are we doing this? Because it was the last good year?

They have JUST NOW invented a crash test dummy based on a woman’s body. They were going off guesses and vibes before this!
The first crash test dummy specifically based on a woman’s body is here.
Developers say it will deliver more detailed data automakers need to address the specific risks women face, including a greater chance of lower leg injuries or dying in a crash.

This new crash test dummy could keep women safer in car accidents
While regulators have been testing crash impacts for decades, there’s a dearth of data on women, who face a higher risk of death in auto accidents.

Got a new haircut and was subsequently chatted up at Trader Joe’s. Do I go back to the salon and give a bigger tip?

Watching Did Hard with a Vengeance for the first time and I’m so mad. Why did no one bother to tell me how hard this movie rules?

This morning one of my friends found out there is a feminist bird club that meets in Los Angeles and immediately gave me a heads up. It’s beautiful to be seen and known.

The word “moist” is fine, actually.
This place needs some Innocuous Discourse pronto. Quote this with a take that’s not political or aggressive

I was putting some bumper plates back at the gym. They seemed secure but then one slipped back towards me, a distance of a few inches, and broke my finger.
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

The news, and the state of the world, want me to have a bad 2026, but I’m simply not going to. I’ve already decided this is going to be one of my good years.
