Way to represent, Kirkland! The staging line for the No Kings march is MILES long at this point. I am pleasantly surprised.

I didn't always approve of everything this administration did, but dang, I miss having a president who actually gave a F and tried to conduct himself in a thoughtful, respectful manner.

Hahaha, NO.

(And especially not if you bomb my mailbox with laminated postcards.)

CHILL. 🤣

"Comcastic" 💩

(I am SO GLAD to finally be rid of Xfinity.)

More light rail, hell yeah. 🎉

Finally finished the new season of Pantheon on Netflix and damn. Loved the entire show, would definitely recommend it to sci-fi fans.

This is what I feel like when I drive around in my 6yo Tesla. My mother even texted me a few weeks ago to ask if I was “still driving [my] Nazi-mobile”. 😬 (Since I can’t afford a new EV on my teacher salary, yes. 🫤 I will own it until it falls apart.)

I started transitioning in my 40s! I am just sorry it took me this long to realize I didn’t have to put up with the unsolicited pressure of unwanted societal expectations.

I don't typically go out of my way to watch goofy stuff, but levity is in short supply these days, and there is something about Resident Alien that really hits me square in the funnybone.

I must be their target audience, because I laugh WAY too much watching that show. (It's a good PM pick-me-up.)

It's that time of year again! Enjoy your dumb chocolates or flowers or tennis bracelets or whatever. 😆

But more importantly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY LITTLE BROTHER, NO MÁS TOMÁS (who will always be "mommy's little valentine" according to her, haha). 🎂🎉❤️

I had SUPER low expectations for Oblivion w/ Tom Cruise (2013) but it turned out to be a fun little thing that had me digging through Reddit for some Q&A afterward.

Its last day on Netflix is 2/28, so check it out soon if you have any interest in post-apocalyptic action-y sci-fi +Morgan Freeman.

Mythic Quest has been pretty amusing.

"Uh, hey, guys, fellas... and Michelle."

That was basically what the first 10-15 years of game dev life was like for me (although this programmer pit has actual desks; I think we were using old loose doors propped up on sawhorses at my very first studio).

I saw a bathroom like that once in Japan at a restaurant named Seiryumon in Shinjuku.

The ladies' was equally as terrifying. I'm so glad someone documented these. 😆

(The "hell" part of the actual restaurant was kind of cool though. Vaguely gothy.)

This makes me wonder if Hulu’s recommendation algorithms think Dr. Dementus looks like Santa. 🎅🤔

No estimated return time for Kirkland. Now I feel less bad about my fridge full of shelf-stable protein shakes from Costco. 😅

Fridges only stay cool for about 4 hours. (Freezers can last up to 48 if they’re full and remain closed.)

Roads were a little wild this morning. Stay safe~
