This is so dumb. Even if I were not sensitive to fragrances, and I wanted my desk to smell like something, there are many existing, better ways to do that. Why on earth would I want it in my mouse? If the smell can get out, the oil can spill out. Dumb, ham-handed attempt to appeal to women.
Asus is making a ‘Fragrance Mouse,’ and it’s coming to the US
A mouse by any other name would smell just as sweet.

It's supposedly "only" 75% humidity here, but I have taken a shower and I CANNOT DRY OFF. I used a towel, and a blow dryer, and my hair and b9ody6 are still uncomfortably damp. I got dressed, and now my clothes are uncomfortably damp. I should have never moved to Virginia.

Having a BLT, but because it's gluten-free, the bread is literally, actually smaller than the slice of tomato. #gluten-free #fml

Very small reviews:
1. Moonlight Nectarines (I got them at Aldi): Really good. Get them if you like nectarines at all.
2. Feel Good Gluten-free Soup Dumplings, Pork and Chicken (from Martin's, I think): (con't in reply)

The internet does not understand "gluten-free dinner for hot days". I don't want to turn on the oven, or boil things. I especially don't want hot soup, you doofs. #glutenfree #heatwave #helpimmelting

New thing in my life; daughter has celiac for sure, I probably do too, and so does next youngest kid. We're doing gluten-free. I'm not super happy about it. I very much wanted to continue eating gluten. Can't deny I'm feeling better, though. Gonna get tested.

Using the library more to save money lately. So far, I've found Hoopla has a lot more stuff than Libby, even when you're accessing it with the same library card.

My husband is watching the 1978 movie Drunken Master, dubbed in English. Just heard this bit of dialogue: "No, you watch out, or you'll have a body with no ass!"

I am not a poet, but I am an autistic woman, and this asshole can go fuck himself.
RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one.
Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.

Have you seen those videos of mixing colored sand together? Why does the colored sand exist in the first place? What is the purpose of it? Is it made expressly for people to mix it together in videos?

Not the first person to make this observation, but it's so striking how the media covered the crack epidemic as a problem caused by black/urban drug users and the fentanyl epidemic as a problem imposed externally on white/rural drug users.

I'm so sick of having to count carbs. (For insulin pump purposes, not weight loss purposes.) I don't want to have to decide how many crackers I "can have". I don't want to have to weigh the crackers. I just want to eat crackers until such time as I no longer want to eat crackers.

Went to have a pap smear today, Afterwards, the doctor said "If it comes out okay, you won't need another one until 2030. Gosh, that's so weird to say." I said "If there even is an America then, and we're not living in the Republic of Gilead..." She gave me that numb nod that people do nowadays.
