My cats have long forms versions of their attribute monikers. Ebony is alternately “Señor Shoutypants” or “Captain Shoutypants.” Ivory is “Floofy McFloofykins, the Floofiest Floof who Ever Floofed.”

Bad human! BAD!!! Give that sweet pup puppies immediately.

Did I hit my head? Why would anyone care what the FAITH of a “high IQ” person is?

It’s totally unrelated.

“As the highest IQ holder, my favorite ice cream flavor is Rutti Tutti” is just as meaningful.

I have now acquired supplies and a recipe and cookie shipping “best practices.” The dough is chilling.

I *really* hope these turn out. Cause I’m baking, chilling, packing and shipping today. 🤞 🤜🪵 🙏

On my way to being a little less “that person.” 4/

BUT here’s the thing: I offered. I asked her what she wanted and she trusted me enough to answer honestly.

The fact that her response was more complicated to fulfill than I’d assumed it would be is on me.

So, I’ve gotta make good. 3/

“Browned butter chocolate chip cookies, please.”

Oh. That’s not packaged. And I haven’t shipped cookies cross-country in YEARS. And that’s not one of my go-to recipes.

This requires research. And supplies. And prep.

(TBF: my balk was entirely internal, but still) 2/

I think Trump’s saying he’s for it release, because he knows it’s never gonna come up.

Or the investigations he’s ordered Bondi to open will now make release impossible due to “active, ongoing investigations.”

Yes. I was realistic enough to start with several of those (in assorted stitch patterns). 😄But it seems like a big skill leap to “the fit actually matters.”

I’m sorry. That sounds awful. Wishing you dreams of fluffy clouds, assorted cute baby animals, and tasty treats.

Also: the bigots were making a point to record those protesting. Others pointed out this is something they are known to do.

Weird. Gross. Designed to intimidate. And it won’t work. Which pretty much sums up their campaign, so I guess that’s on brand.
