I caught something moving out of the corner of my eye, and it was the trees across the street moving in the breeze!

My mom (an older white woman in the U.S.) mispronounces chipotle and jalapeño. But she is not getting paid to talk about food on TV!

I'm a fan of ketchup and mustard on hot dogs. Cheddar or American cheese and dill relish are good too.

One of the great things about giving cats human names is sentences like that first one. Roommate? Child? Ohhh, cat! Also, someone should bring back Circus of the Stars.

I like the longer days of summer, but when temps get above 80, I get the ennui.

Today's hero is the grocery store checker who let just one of the bottles of wine I was buying get within reach of the scanner.

Oh, Greyson. He reminds me of Andrew, who seemed to think "dark" meant "cool," and thus would head for the stuffy closet on hot days.

Watching the National Park Services livecam tonight from Katmai National Park in Alaska and it suddenly dawns on me why #Project2025 wants to abolish the National Parks in addition to banning porn.

Grabbing it and slamming the door on you so I don't have to share. Nothing personal; I just really like pizza.

I'm not a parent, but I'd like to think I'd choose my child over my partner. However, (I'm not sure how to say this without making excuses for people who stay with abusers) for some people—women especially—I'm not sure the choice is that simple. I don't count Munro among those folks.

Ah, unintentionally spit on. Still gross, but at least not malicious.

I admit I was taken in at first by the funny. Eventually I got a clue and started thinking something wasn't right. When he named all Feinstein's staff and gave their salaries, including young people of color, my suspicions were confirmed. I'm not defending myself, though. I should've known better!

Same here, and same mask style. I'm kind of amazed at the number of people who aren't masking _at all_ right now.

Happy #primeweek! I just want to let y’all know that the Amazon shipping warehouse where my husband works is denying workers fans during a nationally recognized heat emergency and everything you order during time week places workers’ lives at risk.

That assumes they asked the question that way. A few months ago I asked it, "Does the following sentence contain any grammatical errors?" and it replied there were no grammatical errors. When I asked, "Does the following sentence contain [specific grammatical error]?" it replied yes.

Black bears are not aggressive? They're bears. They don't have to be "aggressive," to hurt people. Don't feed bears.

My mom made one with berry yogurt and Cool Whip for the 4th and it was heavenly. Even better, the store was out of pie crusts, so she made that, too.

Some people seem to forget that houses are lived in. The before house probably could have been made to look more attractive, but the after house is probably better to live in, regardless of what anyone thinks about its appearance.
