I was today years old when I realized Whimsy has kept me alive.
The ladies at water aerobics called me "young blood" today and I think it made my life 😂😂😂

One of my favorite things during
#Christmas time in New Orleans are all of the ugly Mardi Gras sweaters. Like, you think it's going to be an ugly Christmas sweater, but then you realize it says "countdown to Mardi gras" 🎄🦐
Dear Christmas Radio,
Love you, but you DO know that there's more than Mariah Carey, Michael Buble, and 10,000 versions of the 12 days of Xmas, yes?
I've been making Xmas mixes for 17 years, so holler if you need help expanding your selection 🫶🏻🎄
@iheartradio.bsky.socialThe great thing about overcast days in December is that I get more opportunities to see my tree lit up 🥰🎄
Decided to watch Spinal Tap II in memory of Rob Reiner (and bc I got to be an extra for the concert scene) — I'm genuinely pleased that the story is centered in NOLA; Also, I'm immediately distracted by the yellow cab that drops off Nigel. 🤭
#moviemagic #whyamilikethisRob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.
Sometimes I'll go 4 days without remembering to eat, but ever since discovering that the texture of leftover french toast gets better after 5 minutes in the air fryer, I've been remembering to eat at least two days in a row when there's yesterday's French Toast in the fridge!
#adhd #disorderedeatingDepression is getting out of your tax-sponsored water aerobics class at the public pool feeling all of that good exercise dopamine and trying to store this feeling like you're the kid in
#TheGiver bc you know that AI is taking us to Urinetown and you gotta appreciate this pool while it exists.
32 in New Orleans
32.
In NEW ORLEANS.
🥶😭
Wild how I gained 3 followers on TikTok last night and yet my total follower count is now one less today than it was yesterday.
Matter of fact, I've noticed my follow count stuck at 921/922 since the change over ... Is this what "shadowbanned" looks like on TikTok? 🙄
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥
One of the most freeing things about everything maybe possibly being AI is that when I scroll on something that seems completely preposterous, I don't let myself get angry anymore! It's either worth researching, or it's not worth being mad about.
Excuse me waiter, but I ordered a New Orleans winter. I think there's been a mistake.
😳😭❄️
I don't know who needs to hear it, but "... nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose, — a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye." - Mary Shelley

What if instead of nice people going to therapy to process trauma & develop boundaries, we had a culture where mean people'd go to therapy to work out why they don't fit into a community-based society and how they could fix that.
I mean, we'd need to create that culture but... That would be cool.

I crunched the numbers for life & I don't know how I feel about the results
168 hours/week
40 @ work
56 sleeping (lol like anyone gets 8 hours ...)
28 eating (assumes 4hrs/day)
That leaves just 44 hours to commute, laundry, house clean, make groceries, rest, make art, build community, & be human 🫠
I think I am the first person in the history of New Orleans to have their car broken into but, not only did they NOT steal or destroy anything, they left behind a rhinestoned clown mask.
I should forget to lock my car doors more often!

I'm entering my "gives good advice" era.
Why is there something so poetic about them playing Billy Joel's Piano Man as I board this flight to NOLA, post this LAST CALL weekend?

I wonder if birds ever get lost...
Imagine you're enjoying a day in the sun flying over the sea, fishing the waves—when you suddenly realize you don't know where you are, when you last saw land, & you can't remember what direction that even was.
So I guess what I'm asking is: do birds have ADHD?
We start with intention, then we pay attention to find out where there is tension which allows us to set a new intention and start the process over again.
A**holes can be talented, I just don't care to give them space (as audience or as a producer) bc NEWSFLASH there's SO MANY talented people that are a pleasure to be around who could be working instead.
What if our culture rewarded kindness & left the meanies the time they need for therapy instead?

My favorite class in Starfleet Academy was definitely "standing in unison with panache."
It's July.
Why are leaves starting to turn red on the tree outside of my house already??? I didn't think that starting summer in May meant starting fall in August! 😵💫

Can we all please please please stop pretending that all you need to do to be good at something Is try harder? Different people are good at different things and I think maybe we'd all benefit by honing the skills we are good at, sharing them, and learning to ask for help with everything else.

Watching the jellyfish bunching together, I have to wonder if the myth of a giant squid is just a coordinated school (?) of jellyfish...
A government is supposed to support the experience of being human, not define it.
Calling it now— Trump is gonna divorce Melania and marry Pam Bondi (or literally anyone, it's irrelevant WHO—) BECAUSE you know this dumbass wants to host his own royal wedding.
Have you noticed that everyone seems really tired? Like, walking through the poppy fields in The Wizard Of Oz tired?
Apparently it's don't-bother-to-set-the-clock-on-your-oven season, thanks to
@entergy.bsky.social daily power outages 🙄
Dear landlords: When you say you have a furnished apartment, what I hear is that you are hoarding not just property but also things, and you're trying to get other people to pay to live in your storage unit.
Me: just needs to put my laundry away
Me, 4 hours later: well, My room is fully reorganized and has never been cleaner... Except for the laundry that still needs to be put away 🙈
Thinking thoughts that got me here ...
It's important to NOT create in a vacuum because eventually you'll return to the world-at-large and will realize that you have neglected some pivotal context.

I am dying at how dirty Next Gen is. SO. MUCH. was going over my head when I was watching it with my dad as a kid.
It also really speaks to great sound design cuz they made something that should be followed with an EHHHHH! feel dignified.
To my fellow Elder Millennials and above: How long did it take for you to realize that Labubu was not just a new slang term? I'll go first:
3 weeks 😹
Note to self:
If you're afraid to try something because you're worried you'll fail,
Isn't not trying a failure in itself?
(Again, as the great philosopher Nike says,
Just do it.)
