my team member: I have a very important question for you.

me: [bracing for a problem I don't have time to take care of during Valentine's Day] what's that?

her: if I was a worm, would you still employ me?

me: [blinking, pulse normalizing] yeah, absolutely.

Post a tree you photographed.

A long horizontal sign based on the ones at CTA stations that tell what stop you’re at. It’s gray with red, purple, and brown bands at either ends. Four pigeons are perched on the sign in various pigeon poses as a sunrise is seen in the background. The sign itself reads, ‘Maybe It will happen today’

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Fanfiction doesn’t exist to be “good” it exists because something went horribly wrong with you while you were watching a tv show and you’re gripped by madness

so thoughtful of James Acaster to come to town on our anniversary. (and even more thoughtful of our friend to make sure we all got incredible seats tonight!)
the marquee for the Chicago Theater. it reads "James Acaster Live On Stage Tonight Sold Out" two people sitting in a theater.

if you vote here in Cook County, check out the #GirlIGuess guide. I've used it to help inform my voting for the past few years and I can't recommend it enough!

The 2026 Primary Edition of ##GirlIGuess is now live!! You can find the Guide and other election-related resources at girliguess.com. I don't want to even THINK about Congress again until November. Happy voting!!

I've been arguing with my leadership about a stupid metric for over a year. I've even been written up over it. in the past two weeks they finally listened to me (because someone else also brought it up) AND GUESS WHO'S BEEN RIGHT THE WHOLE TIME.

Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.

Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?

Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

This is who runs this account
a small blonde child cheesing at something to the right of the camera. they're wearing a Supergirl costume and clutching a popple (the popple is mostly offscreen but I know it's there). they are standing in front of a very 1970s couch and a heavy marble table with (among other things) a bowl of decorative walnuts (seriously I don't remember anyone ever eating those walnuts).
