In my Bluesky profile, I put “Apparently a sommelier”. I tweeted about this, but figure I can share here because Bluesky needs fun content…and I think it’s a kinda funny story.

Back in April, I got contacted because SOMM somehow found my contact info and thought I was a sommelier. I originally posted about it on The Bad Place, but re-posted the entire saga here a couple months ago because it was so crazy random...

Graduated with a BA in English. (Cue the Avenue Q song.) Didn’t know what I wanted to do. Best friend convinced me to move to North Bay with her. I ended up working at a Teavana. Then got a job at a smaller place and worked my way up!

Mayor Wu is one of America’s coolest mayors!
My town’s mayor owns a catering business and is nowhere near as cool.

I need to remember this. The way he admits he doesn’t know what it means and asks is perfect.
I will try to do this the same way when someone says something I don’t understand…like “6-7”.

Live, laugh, look at giant houses on Zillow and wonder how many crimes the owner has committed in order to afford it.

What is your Star Trek project that only you would love?
“Federation Pickers”
A couple of humans travel around the Federation in a shuttle looking for antiques that they can resell in their shops back on Earth.

Prices are up and consumers are being hurt. Members from both parties have warned of the risks of ill-advised tariff wars for years.

I hate Yelp so much. They call constantly trying to sell us shit we don’t want.
…and then there’s the scammers who call telling me they can “improve” our Yelp listing. GTFO!

All @thedailyshow.com had to do was edit in Miss Piggy asking a question and it would have been hilarious. Instead they went for this unfunny attempt to tie it to 16th century China.

This dude is only a year older than me, but I would have guessed something around my father’s age!
No way is he in his 30s! He’s like late 50s at the youngest.
Maybe there was a typo and he was born in 1968?

Ruining workplaces is my hobby.
You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
