Part of it too is the obvious fatigue from all of the staying inside. My now-wife and I got socially-distantly (socially-distant?) married a few weeks ago in front of our place, after a lot of discussion and feelings about it. We made the right call because who fuckin knows when we would have been able to have a…

That gives me hope at a time when I could definitely use some.

Well that’s just awesome and I’m glad it’s all worked out for you. Fingers crossed you get picked up again!

My productivity has been shot since early April. I know this isn’t necessarily “laziness”, but my mind can’t divorce decrease in productivity from the idea that it’s because I’m lazy. Logically I know I’m just feeling stuck and all kinds of anxiety/frustration/fear, and this week’s events with Amy Cooper/Christian…

May I ask what contracted job you’re doing for EA/Apex? I’m wildly jealous and hopeful that I can one day join a gaming company.

It’s almost as if they can’t stop telling on themselves.

That is a fair, grim, and accurate assessment. Good point, especially about the plethora of racist and tone-deaf statements currently out there.

Samin Nosrat is a light and I really did appreciate her Instagram stories about being anti-racist. I hadn’t made the Alison Roman connection, but that does feel like something she could probably stand to hear.

Driders in Overwatch. Just great.

Damn. There’s a lot of “you better come correct” in there and I love it. The wave emojis really seal it for me.

I don’t even live in your state and I’m proud of your Democratic leadership. I’m mostly fortunate with JB Pritzker (and Mayor Lightfoot) as my two leaders, but I’m a fan of what I know about Governor Whitmer and the actions she’s taken.

Fantastic reference.

LOOOOOOOOOOORTTTT

I wish I could switch places with those kids to appreciate a parent who cusses as needed. My dad made a huge fucking deal out of not swearing when I was growing up, going so very far out of his way to not do so. It didn’t make me a better person to not swear, only made me wonder why it was such a big fucking deal…

My fiance and I are getting socially-distant (or is it social-distantly? socially-distantly?) married next weekend in front of our apartment. It was our first place together and it’s the easiest thing to do for us instead of trying to find a public space where it will be too people-y.

The “did Carole Baskin kill her husband” angle is a juicy cherry on top of this shit sundae that people can’t get enough of, but it’s a bit unfair that she’s portrayed as the “big bad” villain in the series when Joe easily takes that crown (pun intended). I think the docuseries was trying to make him into a sort of…

A couple of years ago, I really wanted to make macaroni and cheese from scratch and I wanted it to be nice and gooey with cheese. Partially because it was what I was craving in my mind and partially because I just wanted to impress my girlfriend because she enjoys a good mac and cheese.

I set out by buying a couple of…

My girlfriend introduced me to her love of Stouffer’s when we first started dating. I didn’t really get the appeal because I didn’t grow up on it, but damn, that shit is fiiiire. Stouffer’s, side of some roasted or microwaved vegetables, and a dab of Bravado Spice’s Crimson hot sauce and I’m set.

Not Mac N Cheese per se, but I was craaaaaaving pasta with a garlic cream sauce a few weeks back. I didn’t have heavy cream or fresh garlic, but I used whole milk and plenty of garlic powder/roasted garlic powder and it turned out amazing. I used rotini and added in some broccoli for balance and I was the happiest kid…
