Every time I see the name “Tommy Tuberville” I have to remember that he is a US senator and not a character from a 90s Nickelodeon cartoon

Everyone is running around doing scheduled things for other people tomorrow, so we have to wait one more day before we can call the vet for an emergency appointment for John. I’ve been taking so many pictures of him. Just in case.

Ordered a pair of pants for a wedding in October. I ordered them in August and shipping was delayed so long I canceled the order and bought a different pair. Both pairs got here today. 🤷🏻

Just spent like 40 minutes on the floor with Chip. He won’t get up on the furniture to be by people, so he gets less attention than Dino, so I thought I’d visit him down there for a change. Great for my heart, hell on my back 😅

Sometimes I run across a take in trans spaces that basically runs "nonbinary people aren't 'visibly trans'", with the implication usually that our needs are less important.
Let's talk about my swimming class. Or, rather, getting changed for swim class.

Just saw a video of a Gen Xer absolutely crashing out because there were also Millennials who drank from the water hose and were sent outside and told not to come back until dinner time and shit like that. “Get your own childhood trauma!” Sir, stfu, you’re just not that fucking special, that’s all.

If everyone on here could stop being so much younger than me, that'd be really nice. Mentioning events that happened when I was in grad school and casually saying you were in elementary school is absolutely unnecessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I think one of my 2027 media goals is going to be to reread the og Hunger Games books, then read the prequel books, and then watch or rewatch all the movies, too. Just seeing a lot of people talking about them on PageBound and I don’t always know wtf they mean because I’ve forgotten so much

jfc. Just saw a video from someone saying she’d gotten 400 pages into The Stand by Stephen King but was like “Why is everyone walking? Where are they walking to?”
Friends. If you haven’t read The Stand, I cannot stress this enough. That is entirely clear in the book, from almost the very beginning.
