I made myself a 2026 bingo card. Let’s see how it goes. (Blank included too)
Yeah, YOU, I’m mad at YOU, dog! Hestia here tore the door off the chicken coop and had herself an EGG FEAST. All chickens safe and accounted for, she’s not interested in birds, JUST EGGS. Guess who’s gotta build a new MUCH STRONGER coop door tomorrow? The arms race continues.

Was showing a friend “The Murderbot Diaries.” She called Gurathin a “pillow sniffer lookin’ creep.” I had to CLENCH DOWN on my impulse to laugh, because yeah, then he totally went and sniffed a pillow shortly thereafter. I needed that laugh.

Ok so, we now need civilians to enforce law and order?
A manager for the Immigrant Defense Network told MPR News that back in November, 2,500 people were trained as constitutional observers. Now, the total is nearly 30,000 trained observers in 77 of Minnesota's 87 counties.

I am reading “Night Watch.” And … oh no. I know it pulled inspiration from Bloody Sunday and Terry Pratchett didn’t live to see the current (waves) everything, but holy shit is it … let’s call it RELEVANT. History doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes.

An undergrad course catalog is honestly a top-three literary genre, a singular expression of the variety of attention and possibility and wisdom that total strangers are dying to share with you
I remember that first course catalog. It was the most exciting thing since I was little, and used to peruse the Sears catalog looking at all the toys. The excitement of being able to study any of hundreds of offerings and for the first time in your life, you get to choose your studies? Heaven.

On Tinder, was talking w a guy who said he collects old porcelain dolls with leather bodies. Help, I apparently just met a character from one of my own stories, and not the fun way.

Great Pyrenees would be an absolutely filthy rancher looking at you with a raised lip going “WHY. What is the PURPOSE. This seems like a shit decision to me and I might overrule you. I’m just going to roll in the dirt when I get home, I hope you know.”
"Groomers act like different dog breeds" remains one of my favorite genres of TikTok.

Because the first 3 were same size, I assumed this was a thing where it was the same person in each photo. Like, “Here is an officer on duty and off duty. They are people too!” thing. Then I got to the last one and was like “oh yeah that is not the same person twice.”
I'm starting to think the Trumpist mastery of propaganda is failing them. The DHS agents posing this way makes it look like they're ashamed of themselves.

Rand Fucking Paul being the least unreasonable Republican again.
RAND PAUL: If a country bombed our air defense missiles, captured & removed our president, & blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war?
RUBIO: We just don't believe this operation comes anywhere close to the constitutional definition
PAUL: Of course it would be an act of war!

It occurs to me that The Magnus Archives never did a story with The Buried involving snow. I wonder if it’s bc there isn’t so much snow where Johnny lives, or if he just likes snow so it wasn’t scary.
