Sometimes I think about the (probably) haunted horror hotel that was the Hyatt with the rotating restaurant in Kansas City and I give myself the willies. Truly a poster child for the consequences of unregulated capitalism.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

I was happy because I splurged on a new bottle of nail polish and then I realized saying I “splurged” on a $10 bottle of nail polish is just sad. In my list of things I’ll do when I’m magically rich, I’m just going to buy a bottle of nail polish like a normal person.

So like, is Hillary divorced yet? Because if I were Hillary, I’d definitely be divorced by now. Mm-mm. I don’t care how long ago it was, if you were on that plane or on that island, into the bin you go.

Over on threads, I keep getting random posts showing up warning of something big/not good about to happen. People saying they’re having premonitions and such. Maybe I’ve accidentally tapped into woo-woo threads by liking cat pics, idk, but the fact that I’ve seen more than one weirds me out.

The best day will be when the next person rips all of this crap off, puts everything back and smudges the whole building. They could even make a reality show, “Deshittifying the White House” or something, and Retta could host it. As much as I hate reality shows, I’d love every second of that.

I want to be the kind of rich where you can afford the Looney Tunes checks instead of just the standard green ones from the bank.

I miss my best friend from middle school and high school. I really made a mistake drifting away from her in college. I need to fix this.

The man at the cardboard station at the recycling center told me I had the most beautiful hair, and you know what? Today, I’ll accept it.

Here’s my laundry list of stuff that is functioning poorly and/or broken:
1. Washing machine drain
2. Garbage disposal
3. Over-range light
4. Dan’s back
5. The government

Ugh. I’m losing control of the house and laundry. The washing machine drain is super clogged and we’re gonna get a plumber in, but in the meantime, everything’s a mess and I feel less than sane.

It’s the episode of Enterprise where they go back to 2004 and I get to relive a time when my car was brand new. ☺️

I added the ancient HomestarRunner easter egg audio clips to my discord soundboard and I have been waiting half my life for this.

Dan’s out of commission with a bad back for who knows how long and I’m back to running the house by myself again. It feels weird and is definitely not the refreshing of our bedroom walls we had planned for our 15th anniversary vacation week.
C'est la vie.

No lives matter as long as feeding the gun lobby’s bottom line is considered a constitutional and patriotic necessity.

The too-small Ren Faire pants I’m currently wearing in public are being held together by a bra strap, and poorly. It is…an experience.

Whenever someone says “Oh golly” it makes me miss my grandma. She was a big proponent of the term “golly.”

It’s a good thing I don’t have a ton of followers on here because this account is basically only for venting these days. Sadly, if you want nice Erin, you’ll have to visit threads (would not advise.)

Screw CK day of remembrance. Jimmy Carter remembrance day or Palestine Genocide remembrance day or School Shooting Remembrance day. The government won't force us to acknowledge some racist christian-nationalist podcaster only known by a portion of the population.

My maga friend unblocked me this morning. We obviously came to loggerheads, but in case you’re curious what the latest fox-approved right-wing opinion is on the Epstein files, here’s what she told me:

I haven't unfriended my maga high school friend yet.
"Friend."
I post things and she has the opportunity to keep on scrolling and she chooses not to. Sigh. I know I'll have to.

So I say this all sincerity: God damn these religious and political cults that take our people away.
