This is not to say that Ticketmaster isn't the worse, but, you know, perspective.

Looking at you, fellow @SoundersFC fans.

Hey, quick reminder that the pandemic is ongoing and we are still operating under "cutting folks some slack" guidelines.

I've never been to a bachelor party. What does one bake to go with guns, mild explosives, burgers, go carts and axes?

If you're not spending your birthday week reading @Atul_Gawande, are you even really contemplating your ever more impending morality as dictated by the holiday?

[Kara McDermott @kara_mcdermott]

Sometimes you tell someone a bit about your day and they’re like, “Wow, thanks for the perspective,” and you haven’t even gotten to the bad part yet so you kind of just leave it there for now.

Happy 30th birthday to my paramedic partner, who once squared off with a patient because he called me a "dog" on a call.

I had to step in to say the patient and I were both UW alumni - "dawgs."

@CurrentlyBill This is a great idea, but I think I'm finally ready to let go.

It's the last day of February so I figured I should probably take down the Christmas wreath on my door.

Otherwise I might be considered eccentric.

My first act as firefighter association president was getting a new coffee maker.

And that's how you squash a coup before it even starts.

I don't even drink the coffee. Purely a political move.

@TheOtterSongs Update: I love the chair and am coming around on myself.

[Kara McDermott @kara_mcdermott]

I get the joke about Ikea now.

I spent the an hour assembling a chair and am filled with resentment and want to break up with myself.

If you loved me you would mark the numbers on your house in a clear way - easily visible from the street and at night.

What is it about me that makes every algorithm think I need to hear "Skinny Love" every hour for the rest of my natural life? #mymymymymymymymymymy

Naked mole rats to @NPR:

[Kara McDermott @kara_mcdermott]

@NPR "Naked mole rats are neither moles nor rats, although they are naked. They have tiny eyes and piggy noses and have been described as looking like sausages with teeth."
