I had forgotten GG existed! How nice for me.
I am going to the antiquing thunderdome, aka Brimfield, on Friday. I have a list of specific things I'm looking for, but I suspect I will wind up getting some other thing entirely.
Using one photo already on your phone, what is the announcement tomorrow at 2?
Just a random periodic reminder that celebrities don't owe you shit.
I mean, I would have already gotten them towed. 😂
I feel like I understand now how the citizens of Rome felt when Caligula appointed the horse senator.
@elienyc.bsky.social Defenstrate the republic?
They're both Irish and from MA, so it's possible that they actually are 2nd cousins.
It'll be like G and I looking up automats when we read Mixed Up Files.
Oh my mom did the Covid thing too! Honestly, it's been an entire lifetime of her hiding/not mentioning illnesses, like one of those ungulates who hides lameness because they're afraid the herd will abandon them. I can't work up the energy to be mad anymore.
My dad had a heart attack and my mother waited two weeks to tell me, then intro'd it with "I'm only telling you this because I know you worry" like she was doing me a favor.
I drove through Kenmore this weekend and, wow, that was a mistake!
There's half a glass of white wine on the right, too!
My nieces, nephews & daughter are 19, 18, 16, 16 and 12. My mom, who just turned 86, said she'd like to live to see the oldest 4 all in college. Then she paused and said, "E [the 12-year-old] is shit out of luck. I don't want to live that long." 😂
It's their shorter way to write "black people."
Read your previous post and this one in a row and read Spock's line in the accent.
Yeah, the only reason I'm not going to Wolf Alice is that it's 2 days after Garbage!
It is fun--I've had good luck with Luckyscent.
Yes, but it's at the HoB, so make sure before purchase that they don't have shitty sightlines.
I think it might be this too: youtu.be/D6KU5uY7EBI?...
I love this idea.
Before you get rage-baited into arguing with a bad actor, come read this thread.
IDK if it's still around, but there was definitely one that just showed castles for sale.
Including B's kids' names! "Blue Ivy AND OTHERS."
Such a fine line to walk w people like Elizabeth Gilbert where on the one hand i want people who have a completely nonnormative sense of values and morality to feel like they can share their brains w us, on the other hand you need an exorcism
She's a supermodel!
I actually think he'd get a kick out of it if I did it to his face.
It would be rude to call the dept. chief of staff nosy, right?
Make them square, because round things are girly.
As a humanities person who works with scientists, I love this a lot.
Sending positive thoughts & love. 💙
There's actually a Megababe pop up shop in the seaport right now--I'm thinking of fully stocking my desk. 😂
That is exactly why I keep an extra at work!
I was so annoyed that my mother didn't save her vintage clothes for me that I kept a bunch of my favorite HS/college outfits for 25 years--my daughter didn't want all of them, but the funny/ironic t-shirts were a big hit.
boston.gov has an AI search tool now. Just tried asking it four questions: Who is Josh Kraft? Who is mayor? Mac and Cheese recipes? What are city hall hours? (the last was a suggestion on the page) Its answer to all four: A page telling me how to pay a parking ticket. 1/2
You know what's really wild? People developing parasocial relationships with celeb employees.
@kellysue.bsky.social Mama shark, I thought you would enjoy seeing this gold baby: divemagazine.com/scuba-diving...
I made gazpacho yesterday and I am drinking it straight from the bowl for dinner. I love tomato season.
Give the chickadee a sword, you cowards.
Well there goes the rest of my morning.

I cannot stop giggling at this.
OMG, I mixed up tumblr and the actual movie. 😂
I may have imagined this, but I think you see the bird with two hats on at the end, implying someone has made the cat one and he has stolen it again, so perhaps we'll get a hat-stack in the sequel.
Oh, she's ready to take over.
Those teeth are HUGE.
My child: "Oh, I gave C Iron Widow, but not the 2nd book because there's an edit from the author that I hadn't made." Me: "Oh, about the pegging?" My husband: "Does she know about pegging?" My child: "I know what pegging is!"
Last week was fun! ...but it was also 80% a TOS episode.
Even my husband, who likes EVERYTHING, just paused it to say, "Wow, this episode is annoying."
No one in the Strange New Worlds writer's room is good enough to tackle the moral questions they're trying to this week. This is embarrassing.
I would like to tell the story of the astronauts who smuggled a sandwich into space.
ILU, UHub.
This album is really going to be my entire personality for several months at least.
this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
I HAVE OFFICIALLY FORGOTTEN IT, SORRY NORMOS qwantz.com/index.php?co...
Asked myself "Do I want to yell at people or do I want to solve the problem?" and was kind of surprised to find that the answer was the latter.
I am FULLY back on my Florence bullshit.
It is better that public comment on celebs appearances isn't as widespread as it used to be, but I wish there was some way we could talk about how drastically different several actors look these days--they're out here looking like whole different people.
My bot-sense has been tingling about his "popularity," for sure.
This is so relatable. I probably could have written a novel if I had access to the section of my brain devoted to NIN lyrics.
I would not have been able to guess where any of those sentences ended up.
Filling up before the long trip to Mexico www.universalhub.com/2025/filling... #Boston #WestRoxbury #butterflies
I signed up for my alma mater's host parent program, for students whose families are international/unavailable, and got the name of my student today. My husband looked at my giddy face & said, "Please don't mother this girl within an inch of her life." I was like, "NO PROMISES."
I should not buy these crazypants. But I might.
"nine days" is not a statistically significant sample. That guy is such a dip.
Oh yeah, mine does that too and doesn't have the audio processing excuse!
just can not shake the feeling that democratic leadership really believes they are just a couple votes away from the halcyon times of enjoying senate softball and seersucker suit day
The hardest part then is the times where you have to be like, "I know you're neurodivergent, but that is still asshole behavior."
For my kid, that turned out to be an audio processing disorder, and when the neuro told me that, I literally said, "Oh wait, she's not just being an asshole?" 😭 Parent of the year, over here.
30 years ago this park was an abandoned landfill.
...I am not finding any reliable sources for this claim.
One of those kids is 100% going to murder them someday.
She's the best! Can't wait to vote for her next week.
The album is titled “EVERYBODY SCREAM.” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Class schedules came out and G's group chat is seeing which classes they have together. She is giving me live updates, and it is very cute.
YES. LET ME HOLD YOUR BABY! youtu.be/ZUrg8qUbrOo?...
They always look like they're melting.
My mom said the local house cleaners talk, and he wanders around his house naked too.
Yeah, Mom was a housecleaner and no one ever did that to her--this generation of cleaners are Brazilian, though, so it's also a gross power trip, because they certainly can't report him.
All I have to do for this week 2025 to be better than this week 2024 is not get laid off out of the blue. Fingers crossed.
Bear minimum for holding a conversation: Paddington, Smokey, Berenstain, Fozzie, Baloo, Guillermo Diaz, Paddington, We Bare, Bart, Kissyfur, Pooh, Care, Winston Duke, Da, Corduroy and Teddy Ruxpin.
I am a mom now, and the experience has made my mother's choices even more baffling to me.
My mom did that the day after my wedding. I found out while I was sitting at brunch with the rest of the family and called to ask where she was, and she said, "Oh, we went home."
She has also just informed me that the local doctor who played the coroner was supposed to deliver me, but he was on vacation that week.
My sister just put on Jaws and my mother said, “oh god, I remember all those people standing in my yard.” 😂
You are going to get SO GOOD at those!
Listen, you never know when you might need to get up to some Home Alone DIY self defense shit.
Walked out to the oldest cemetery on MV this morning.
Deep, deep cut.
This is Cochituate erasure.
Perks of living in the woods.
The food pantry ALWAYS needs a hand.
Jaws. The shark can eat the tourists.
What a fun idea! My husband and I did something similar the year we were both wfh—Let’s Try The Jam was part of our morning routine.
I mean, she also read one that was about the Chinese cultural revolution, so at least she got some multicultural trauma?
I’ve gotten multiple ads for the Bon Maman calendar already!
This was a running joke in our family when G was in 5th grade. All trauma all the time!
Not a joke: I don’t even know how my washing machine works. I have done a weaponized incompetence in the name of feminism.
You are very protected from evil now.
It's bad! I once spent an afternoon fishing with my dad downwind of one, and it is pretty unforgettable.
