Cursed food 

I put parmesan in a salad with a spicy peanut vinaigrette

Man, watching shows with subtitles on is massively helpful. I only used to do this for foreign language films, but even with English it helps. It can be really easy to miss audio.

First day at new job. Everyone seems... Really nice. Somewhat regretting not moving to Oakland but that's okay.

hey guys, my pal Twee really needs help - she's low on cash, her car is the only way to get more money, and she needs money to get it inspected and registered or it'll get towed

I Am The Pretty Thing... 2/2 

The Hill House protagonist is a similarly timid, single woman with a caretaker job and lack of a solid identity.
Iris (an elderly woman/retired author) is also very clearly based off Shirley Jackson herself.

The acting was great and the atmosphere palpable, but overall more of a nod to literary works than substantial story in of itself.

I Am The Pretty Thing... 1/2 

I watched I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives in the House tonight.

There are cinematic allusions to The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, but more than anything it reminded me of Shirley Jackson's work, esp the Haunting of Hill House.

I went for a jog this morning and when I came home, my roommate had fresh-baked cookies waiting for me.

This world is awful but I'm so happy I've been able to enjoy some nice moments.

Oh, this install is actually going to take 45 min. Okay. I'll find a book.

I really love coming home and hibernating for a few hours. There's just something great about being able to indulge the impulse to get cozy and hide away for a bit, before rejoining the world.

hello from Tallulah!! She loved getting some time out to sun this morning ☀️

My life, + 

Good morb!

It's been a weird long week for me. But a productive and oddly relaxing one, too.

I'm almost totally moved into my new place, and it's starting to actually resemble a home. It's also a million times more relaxing to come home here than it was living with my parents.

I'm excited to go set up my desk, start on some holiday crafty projects, and go to the annual tree lighting in town tonight.

Next week is going to be crazy- training for my new job starts. But I'm ready. 💚💙💜

Hi. Do you have a local taxi company? Do they have a union? If so, use them. Pay a little extra and up the chances they'll steal staff from Uber. My local taxis have an app that's efficient enough and they're all really scared they're going to lose the company that protects their rights to a company that exploits people

Congrats to all you nano winners!! Y'all rock!!✨

QWERTY 

Making up these big QWERTY boards so my kid can learn how to scam efficiently and eventually use a keyboard.

Kids with DS have low muscle tone, which often means poor finger dexterity. So in this case teaching him to hunt and peck is practical.
