Live in Denver. Trying to be positive, or at least coherent. I am extremely passionate about pockets, have ADHD, and I'm pretty sure I don't belong here. I occasionally update my blog at spandrella.com.

I love so much of the country is about to get snow, I'm so happy for everyone else

I'm so tired of Denver never plowing the roads! It's been snowing all morning and I haven't seen one plow!

(There is 0 accumulation. But it's been so long since we got snow and EVEN LONGER since we were able to bitch about Denver's snow plowing policy, I'm just really excited.)

I'm glad this is a lovely and inspiring story, because it could also be a setup for a horror movie.

Shout out to the people who are emotionally or physically drained but still trying to make christmas special. Shout out to the military and people overseas who might be spending the holidays alone. For some, it might be hard to find joy in today but I'm proud of you for trying. Merry Christmas. ❤🎄

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, where the shadows lie, One Tim to rule them all, One Tim to find them, One Tim to bring them all, and in the darkness, bind them.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, blew up the Death Star.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, has a machine gun now. Ho! Ho! Ho!

I am turning on Top Gun: Maverick, which I have never yet seen.

Me (navigating Paramount app): Man, that opening montage of the aircraft carrier in the original was so cool. It fit so perfectly with the music.

Top Gun Maverick: YOU MEAN THIS MUSIC?? I STILL HAVE THE MUSIC.

Apparently all you needed to do to predict the NYC election results was read that one N.K. Jemisin novel.

I don't know who needs to hear this (except the 2 of you that I'm subtweeting in the kindest way possible), but reference librarians spend a sizable part of their day helping ppl learn to use computers or find the new Nora Roberts. Don't feel shy about bringing them weird research questions.

Didn’t know this! Do you know how many years I pined for jstor access! Yes I am a giant nerd who pines for academe leave me alone with my papers and books
This is my regular reminder to everyone that jstor is open to the general public now; a free account there will give you access to 100 papers a year.
regrettably if you try to point this out online you'll get yelled out by 79208 journalists going OH SO YOU WANT JOURNALISTS TO STARVE??? even if you're, say, a journalist yourself, and point out that while there are clearly no easy answers, the status quo isn't exactly working for society

I don't know how universal a childhood experience this is, or if it's my brain being neurospicy, but I have a very specific brand of "Movies you saw too early in life," and it is called "watching comedies and entirely missing the fucking point."

A thing about my dad is, you know if he likes the book you got him as a birthday present if he comes up to you 4 months later and starts teaching you all the things that were in the book you got him (that you have also read).
