This is what having curly hair is like. It just does whatever it wants, fuck what I want.

This is too real for me right now. I just took mine to the vet last week thinking she had some sort of neck injury only to figure out a few days later that she was having anxiety separation attacks because I went back to work after taking a week for Xmas off. $400 bill but at least I have a supply of emergency doggie pain meds now.

Cutting these off of dog toys is the worst. I’m always worried I’m going to miss one and hurt my dog.

When I was pretty young I got in the habit of watching the evening news with my parents. For some reason I got it in my head that when the news talked about illegal aliens that they were talking about aliens from outer space. It was embarrassing how long I believed that until my mom explained illegal aliens to me. My kid brain just couldn’t cope with calling obvious human beings aliens.

Currently subscribed to Xbox game pass premium, Amazon Prime, Spotify and PBS streaming. I would love to get rid of Prime but I really do save money on shipping and it’s the only way I can get some of my specialty foods (severe food allergies). PBS streaming is the best deal at the moment and I’m really happy with it.

I managed to get gas for $2.31 on Tuesday. It was a Christmas miracle.

Storytime. In a previous career I worked in a forensic toxicology lab and the director was a bit of a rockstar in the field. One day he was telling us the story of a Black widow case he worked and told us a clean version of the testimony from one of the victims who lived. In a nutshell the guy said he knew the woman was trying to kill him but he didn’t care because she had a mouth of gold and would wake him up on the regular with good service. So yes I believe some people might do anything for a good fuck.

Yup this is me right now. I work with an amazing team and was really liking my job for the past three years. Then 2 months ago we got a new Associate Director who immediately set herself to bullying, denigrating, and tearing apart everything and everyone. I’m currently waiting to see which comes first; I get fired or I quit.

For me personally it wasn’t the name calling that irked me. Trump is a crass piece of shit and honestly I expect nothing less from his behavior. What’s really irritating me is him and all the other Maga circus freaks aggressivly pointing their fingers in people’s faces. It’s such a small, “white man” form of micro aggression that aims to make the target feel inferior. And for some fucking reason it works psychologically because whenever I see one of them do it I immediately want to start throwing hands.

Obligatory fuck Liberty University. Absolute sham of a college and blight on Virginia.

I really like the phrase “in my zone” much better than “resting bitch face.” Thanks Internet stranger.

These people think that because they’re white and Trump is white that Trump is talking to them and not about them.

This is fairly meaningful for Virginia. There are only a few blue islands (major cities) in the state and last night we saw Dems sweeping votes in very red traditional Republican areas. I was looking at the maps last night astounded. Virginia is an old time type of prude/conservative but the fact that we also hold a lot of federal jobs played into this sweep in my opinion. People here are very pissed off and the younger folks really turned out.

I’ve been wondering what they heck this was. I use a Logitech mouse at work and this popup is the bane of my existence. Our workstations are locked out for software downloads but I also can’t get rid of the damn popup.

I love that she has a tail in the last panel. Call it the “stinger” of the joke. (Sorry don’t hate me)

I’m laughing at this far more than I should be.

I decided to stay child free because I know that I would not be the mom that I’d like to have. I do like kids though.

I’m not okay. I know my life isn’t as bad as it could be. I feel like Covid was easier to get through because everything happening wasn’t controllable in a grander sense. What’s breaking me now is the fact that things clearly don’t have to be this way. It’s infuriating to watch so many people get away with being so colossally stupid. I can’t get through a single day without having the overwhelming urge to slap sense into other people.

That sounds dangerously close to addiction.

We have used the name Flexo for years if only because it makes me smile. No one else in the neighborhood is funny though.
