Reading has been really hard for me since I got Covid ages ago. But I’ve made it most of the way through a 580 page book (for adults!) and I’m proud of me.

Y’know, like how you’re not gonna quit smoking the day before someone drops an atomic bomb on your city.

My first thought, as a person who has been chronically online for >25 years.

I need to replace my record player and honestly every buyer's guide reads like stereo instructions.
I'm not an audiophile. I mostly listen to my mom's poorly-stored Ronco disco record compilations. I want a setup that's not all-in-one and costs under $600. Why is this so hard.

I know it’s dumb to argue with a robot but I’m tired of these incessant texts from multiple numbers.
Someone who lives in my neighborhood and has children here has a way better finger on the pulse than some asshole who only technically lives here. #mapoli

A very professional estate planning attorney said Ivy and I were emotionally mature and I think "a good grade in therapy" might actually be achievable?

Everything is awful and I’m close to having a panic attack, but the kalanchoes (originally from my mother’s funeral) are flowering, so that’s nice.

USA Today's reporting of this story is infuriating.
To borrow from Mike Birbiglia, what they should have said was nothing. What they did say was "others will welcome the eradication of a group of people." www.reuters.com/business/hea...

This was the White House statement for “autism awareness day.”
Like, is the implication that we grow out of autism?
That we can be cured?
That our EXISTENCE is a crisis?
We don’t need awareness nearly as much as we need acceptance.
