Books, writing, cats, video games, sleep, memes. Yes, I have two last names not joined by a hyphen; deal with it. (she/her)

This morning, I was telling my husband about the dream I had last night. And he said, "Your dreams are like AI art. Everything kind of makes sense, then someone shows up with an extra leg."

This is the best description of my dreams I've ever heard in my life.

@IfBooksPod starting the newest Patreon ep, and I think the best place for Peter to start his speed running era is to watch Peanut Butter the dog speedrun ‘Ken Griffey Jr. presents MLB’ from this summer: https://t.co/9EtGbKcFI9

@maggiekb1 Oh man, I forgot about these! I borrowed/read them from a local church growing up, and I’m pretty sure there’s one still at my parents’ house that I never returned.

I feel a bit better about that now, knowing the author.

@toricurlz @IfBooksPod Came here to say this. It’s the whole reason they’re called the Fightin’ Irish

@blankcheckpod @benhosley column should be called the “Pictureshow Pain Scale”, based on the pain mgmt scale.

Also, the worst (tight upside down U) should be called the Pugh — after film’s current frowning queen

@molls re:the bday talk at the beginning of this week’s @mmiswp ep, my grandmother Shirley had the same bday. I always enjoyed the symmetry of it (01/10), which made it super easy to remember.

@blankcheckpod just throwing out there that Mezrich’s profile picture was changed this morning 👀

@MerriamWebster "Fartmonkey" is one I've used for 20+ years now (pretty sure I picked it up from an ex-stepcousin)

@sarahhollowell I only said it because I have a sleep disorder, so it's always at the forefront of my mind.

@clapifyoulikeme The Titanic one isn't as bad, but I'm still very VERY confused on what is going on with her hair.

[Sam of All Seasons @yes_smam]

@delaneyyyw @clapifyoulikeme Thankfully, it looks like these reprints were done in the early 2010s, and DitGC wasn't one of the ones chosen. Though why they chose not to reprint hers but reprinted the fully reprehensible When Will this Cruel War be Over? is beyond me.

@IfBooksPod I'm slightly disappointed there wasn't a joke about campiness being an echo of concentration camps.

@ritaresarian When I took it in 04-05, we still called it "Keyboarding".

Learned on an old-school black and green screen Tandy, where everyday was 1/1/1980 and we printed out to a dot-matrix printer with side-perforated paper.

@_ClaireConnelly Touchless payments were slower to roll out to businesses. And some of them still don't take it. As for paying rent, I have to use a "eCheck" (basically a bank transfer, but initiated on my prop. manager's site by inputting my bank acct. information, vs. started at the bank.

@sarahhollowell Think of steelbooks like fancy special editions of a book - they usually have a different artwork than the regular blu-ray/DVD case and are in 4k HD.

The point IS to have discs. This is an odd move, to be sure.

@LadyDumplings @sarahhollowell You’re also paying for the saved time and the labor of cooking! If 7-11 started grilling up steaks, they would be more expensive than the hotdog.

@PaulCrenstorm Kinda? (Name is familiar but I don’t remember why.) Mississippi/Louisiana, 34.

Somebody asked what “my deal is” with cats, and: They’re little goblins that could absolutely kill you but instead they choose to sleep on your chest and vibrate at the exact correct frequency to lower your blood pressure and stress hormones! They’re perfect, is what my DEAL IS.

@PrinceHAK33M @ritaresarian CNN really went

[Sam of All Seasons @yes_smam]

@hellolanemoore There were two people talking on the shuttle to work the other day, and they both were like, “is this actually bad?” and “I don’t notice anything”.
The AQ at the time was 150/160 here in VA

Also, yes to getting headaches.
