😡 That time (like two weeks ago) when my dad, who watches Fox News and reads the Wall Street Journal like a Bible, tried to clock me on checking information for bias because liberal media.
I literally have a master’s degree in information science.
Don’t come at me saying I don’t know how to screen for information bias. Nope. Don’t do it.
(And yes, I know I have plenty of unconscious biases.)
🤬 That time (like two weeks ago) when my dad said doctors are performing gender reassignment surgery on minors despite the “mountains of evidence that it’s wrong” because it benefits them financially. He literally thinks that doctors are performing gender reassignment surgery in droves so they can pay off their loans.
I posted some pictures on Pixelfed of the nice sunflower bouquet that Michael arranged.
💸 We’re in debt up to our eyeballs. Feels like it happened overnight, but with thousands we paid to save Lucy plus our champagne taste…we’re going to look seriously at it all this weekend. Sigh.
📮 I took a chance yesterday and texted the number I had for my high school friend, Krista, and said happy birthday. She texted back and confirmed it was her! I’ll need to ask for her address and send her a postcard or something.
🎂 The one and only thing I miss about Facebook is not being able to check in and say happy birthday to an ol’ friend like Krista from high school. I saw today’s her birthday on my calendar. Wait a tic. Do I have her phone number? It’s probably not current if I do. But maybe I’ll send a happy birthday message anyway.

Today is the day we celebrate Pete & Lily’s birthday. I went a little shutter crazy on Lily this morning. But isn’t she the cutest?
🍔 Having lunch with husband and two coworkers (now friends) from my old job today. I said we should walk into the restaurant like the Hot Lunch Jam scene in the 1980 movie Fame. For some reason, nobody is taking me up on that.

A few recent garden pics.
I have a bit of a twisted sense of humor.
Arrested Development. 30 Rock. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Difficult People. All favorites, and none too quirky or dark for me.
So when I got this text, it took me a sec to process. Then I laughed. I laughed really hard.
Some photos of Lily and Pete. I love how Pete kinda just hangs there on the top of the couch. And how her whiskers are like completely parallel to the ground. 🐈⬛
✂️ There’s just nothing as refreshing to me as a haircut.
Well, I mean maybe unsweetened iced tea. But that’d be about all.
💇♂️ I swear I’m walking out if my person isn’t in today.
I’m all for taking healthy risks (and sometimes unhealthy ones 😔), but not with my hair.
👀 Well my eyebrows certainly got tamed. “We’re just cleaning them up, right?” She asked.
“No, let’s basically shave the hairy little fuckers all the way off so I have to draw them back on again just to look halfway human,” I did not reply.
Yet somehow, this is what I’m left with.
