I do things.
I am normally an extraordinarily punctual person. I have to put effort into being fashionably late.

Which is what I did tonight. My goal was to arrive 15–30 minute late because I know that’s what normal people do.

Except.

I arrived 24 hours and 30 minutes late.

So.

I felt silly.

Well there was at least ONE clown at Trump’s birthday party.

They will rue the day they united the western seaboard.

When you’ve got Seattle cheering for LA you know you’ve done fucked up.

Um on a different part of the internet I posted this photo with (what I thought was a) a bold-faced lie about watering the kelp beds so they bloom later in the summer and I think the people of the internet might trust me way too much.

Between my two Threads accounts, I have 2 posts that are getting—uh—more attention than usual.

One of them is fun. The other is not.

People are great and also jerks.

Happy Leland Melvin Day, to all who celebrate.

I’m finding it helps a little if I read quotes from Trump in the voice of Mitch Hedberg.

Of course then I get sad that it works so damn well. But at least I get a chuckle first. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Kinda nice to live through a historic moment that feels hopeful for a change.

Survived a whole-ass hockey tournament this weekend.

4 games in 72 hours.

Two ties, two losses, 4th place in our group, and a hell of a lot of fun.

My friend Cassie perfectly captured what it’s like for strangers to meet Mabel.

Cassie looked at her too long. Which is SUSPICIOUS.

Eco blocks are a great way to say “We don’t want poor people to use this space so now NOBODY CAN USE IT.”

A man just sent me a cold sales email that made it VERY CLEAR that he had perused my LinkedIn profile and that just took me from irrational anger to rational WTF DUDE.
Cold sales email make me irrationally angry.

Hey remember 5 years ago this week?

My body sure kept score of it.

Less than 24 hours until Women on the Water III, our 3rd annual International Women’s Day paddle out.

1. You’re invited.
2. Check out image 4 for some ways we still need support for the event.

I used to get excited when my dad asked me to help with projects—like building recording studio we had at our house.

In adulthood, it became apparent to me he just wanted someone else to reach through the fiberglass insulation to run wires.

That’s what I think of when I see Elon with his son.

Four months of Mabel + her second birthday-on-paper = a trip to the beach, picking out a toy at the store, and some doggy ice cream today.

Maybe we should call it Autism Spectrum Order rather than *disorder* because as an autistic person lemme tell you about how a lot of us are extraordinarily gifted at bringing order to things.

I spent most of my life believing that I hated toast when really I just hated toast that was toasted in a toaster.
