There are twice as many men named Gary as there are women in my department in case anyone was wondering about how STEM advocacy is going.

Would be nice if things didn't have to get to the point where I've given up to get fixed.

The robot children pointed out that my degrees cover all four letters in STEM. Huh. So they do. (Physics, computer science, electrical engineering, and math, respectively.) Time to go back for an art degree?

Friends, I'm not okay, and could use emotional support.

I don't know why the people who order pizza for work events are convinced that everyone wants their pizza to be a cacophony of flavors and textures, but I beg you, please order at least some plain pepperoni and/or cheese.

I would literally rather have anchovies on pizza than sausage.

Shutting down for the night. Final count 77 trick-or-treaters.

Or even if they're not costumed, really. Anyone who comes seeking candy gets some until it runs out.
I'll Die On This Hill Time: Teenagers are still children, no matter what Riverdale and other modern media might suggest. If a 6'3" kid comes to your door with a mustache and is costumed and polite, they deserve candy and kindness just as much as the kindergartners do.

The image of Adam Lambert rolling his eyes back into his head while performing Bicycle Race is living rent-free in my brain.

would love to abolish the notion that making your audience feel joy is inherently intellectually and artistically inferior to making them feel pain, a cheap and cynical attitude which poisons everything from misogynist disdain for romance to why it’s harder for comedies to win Best Picture
I saw a review of the new season that said it wasn’t good because it was too into fan service and should have taken more risks to upset fans and I was like……you deeply do not understand this show and should not be reviewing it.

Not only is this absolutely right in principle, but I can assure you it is SO MUCH EASIER to make readers feel pain, sorrow, or horror than it is to uplift, make them joyful, or get a proper laugh.

Tragedy is just easier than comedy, probably because people have more to cry about.

Reminder: there is loads of evidence that the COVID spike protein is an extremely potent mast cell histamine liberator even for people without MCAS. Taking 50mg diphenhydramine 15 minutes before your booster or a double dose of Claritin/Allegra/etc 2-3 hours before will help you fee less like shit.
I have successfully taken my own advice re: premedication for the Covid booster and am pleased to announce that I am NOT in level 5 The Fucking Flush and I do not feel like death warmed over, and I'm just hitting the window of when I'd start feeling it if I'd fucked up the premedication
