Wow that’s terrible.

Grapefruit!

The singer Neko Case, the drag queen Vanjie (she just makes me insanely happy), the artist Alex Katz (96 and still painting!), my very sweet church friends including all the children who pile onto me like puppies because I spoil them rotten, my aunt some of my extremely wonderful patients who I would give a kidney to if they needed it, my Livejournal friends who I’ve never actually met, the writer Jonathan Carroll, and the singer Nick Cave.

Jesus Christ how can they even do that?

Nope because I’ll never afford it. I’ll be at my desk on the phone listening to my BPD patient scream in my ear for the millionth time that she absolutely must come off the medication she needs to stay alive that she’s been on for 20 years because it’s giving her a rash (not possible and shes doing this for attention), and I’ll quietly expire into an exhausted puddle.

Edited to add: I have an excellent pension but it still won’t be enough. I have zero savings thanks to my SO wrecking my finances.

Thank you but I was born in the 70s. Did you want to see a picture of the burnt orange shag rug in my childhood bedroom?

At a white tablecloth local bistro, this woman literally picked up her plate and licked it clean. She also was having such hilariously weird conversations about alien abductions that I got an uncontrollable case of the giggles and had to go sit in the car while my SO paid the check.

This made me laugh.

The absolutely delightful feature that you can use block lists, where you can block all of the MAGA trash with a click and effectively silence them from your life. The ability to collectively silence them is golden.

That’s I’ve been working 2 jobs for twenty years and am still married to this asshole who I am grey rocking so I can get through my 12 hour workdays.

I have no opinions on Israel vs Palestine except that it’s bad and I want it to stop because it’s hurting so many people. I don’t understand the conflict or why we should want one side to win over the other. I realize Israel is controversial but I don’t really know why.

Yes but I am enjoying Bluesky a lot this week in the wake of its rapid expansion while that hellpit Twitter burns. A really nice feature is that they have block lists, where someone makes a list of MAGA people or whatever and you can block them all at a click.

It sounds like scrupulosity OCD.

It wasn’t like a sauce. It was like a foam whipped with bits of lobster. Like lobster flavoured foam, it definitely wasn’t an accompaniment. I’m not describing it right, but it wasn’t like a side. It’s been like twenty years.

Nabucco is a good way to begin with opera indeed! Very early Verdi and definitely not the quality of his later most famous works but still pretty amazing. The role of Abigaille is called a voice wrecker so it’s not often performed. Glad you liked.

Bluesky grew by a million users in a week.

I liked my first all inclusive resort in Mexico very much. The second one had mediocre food and it rained heavily for three straight days, so much that the rain came through the thatched roof, and people pestered us to sign up for time share type presentations. It just looked a lot better than it was, and the beach was very basic.

I felt like that when we rented the townhouse. It was also pretty bare bones, but it was nice to have a house. Sadly the landlord evicted us so his kid could have his place, so I ended up in an apartment again, and now my rent is so much more as we lived in the townhouse for so long. I do have a washer and dryer and dishwasher though so at least that is nice and it’s beautifully renovated but it still sucks. We had this incredible patio garden.

I ate dinner in NYC at the penthouse fancy restaurant of some five star hotel. I could barely eat I was so intimidated. The food at that time was for some reason having a trend of “foams”, which is this weird thing where it was like lobster with a side of foamy stuff. I never understood how that was food, but the restaurant by itself was incredible.

Which opera did you see? I am an opera lover and I’ve seen people wearing tuxedos with flip-flops, and a dog wearing a rhinestone necklace.
