Eleanor’s Trousers
My skeets represent your employer. Atlanta raised, in Pittsburgh PA since 2000 - my accent is weird wherever I am.
Go Dawgs.
Putting the Q in LGBTQ+. TERFs be gone. (she/her)🏳️🌈
- They’re a throuple.
- Reposted by Eleanor’s Trouserssure you might have seen my name in the big pdf that got released titled “list of draculas currently operating in the united states.” here’s why that’s NOT a big deal:
- Unpopular opinion: cats should go back to animal shelters. Every cat rescue is like have a veterinarian letter of recommendation and let our weird stranger walk through your home and give us $300. I just want to potentially give a homeless cat a (luxurious) home. Why are you making it weird?
- Got news that my department may suddenly be very high-attention and I’m the person in charge of all the reports.
- Reposted by Eleanor’s TrousersWestboro Baptist Church tried to make an Anti-Luigi Mangione poster but it just looks like Luigi is threatening billionaires and goes unironically hard af
- Seven more days. I only have to survive seven more days before some of the snow will melt. 168 hours. I wanted a friend to come over but the ten day old snow is still everywhere he could park and I had to wedge 2 weeks of trash into a four foot mound of plowed snow at the curb. 10,080 minutes.
- Reposted by Eleanor’s TrousersShout out to my autocorrect for inventing the phrase "if horse comes to worst", that's a keeper
- Stick Season began Before Time but it will never end. It has always been Stick Season. It will always be Stick Season. We will never be free of Stick Season even in summer.
- Reposted by Eleanor’s Trousersyou could tell me that there are anywhere from two to nineteen Skarsgard men in Hollywood and I would believe you
- Well, new smoke alarm. I’m going to stop you right there.
- Reposted by Eleanor’s TrousersAt my party you’ll enjoy a string quartet* *4 packets of string cheese
- Every time they say tachy on a medical show I say “hell yeah she is.” If I worked in a real ER, I would already have died in an unfortunate accident.
- In 20 years, some kid from today will be posting how in his day we got *real winters* because this historic nightmare will be his version of just what winter looks like.
- Family in Georgia: Snow! It’s so pretty and fun! Me, trapped in PA: Snow. It will never be warm again. The piles grow. If it is ever warm, we will surely all drown in the ensuing floods so I’d better shore up a rowboat for escape. I can wax the hull in my living room since I can’t go outside.
- I downloaded a phone game that doesn’t cap your lives or force you to watch 100 ads, so I’m avoiding the world by becoming the world champion at Screw Sort Puzzle. There are many more useful things I could do, but today, my brain is not available for useful. Maybe tomorrow.

- My former boss was almost totally irredeemable, but this time of year, I do miss her annual wasteful spending to fly me into New Orleans for an urgent face-to-face meeting (really just so I could get a week-long break from PA winter). Otherwise, she sucked. But that was so good. For me.
- I have 81 missed call alerts because unknown numbers go to Hades and they would all like to give me a large personal loan at a high interest rate. They have started sending texts and emails. Please make it stop.
- Quote with 5 jobs you’ve had: 1. preschool teacher 2. theatre technical director 3. sculpture class model (no garments) 4. Congressional lobbyist (nonprofit, domestic violence policy) 5. Hot Topic accessories department lead
- Would recommend Self-Pity Spaghetti. It’s like regular spaghetti, but you make it when fascism winter will never end and broil a layer of tasty cheese on top and it works to tuck you into bed like Benadryl, without the Hat Man of it all.
- Reposted by Eleanor’s TrousersNew threat just dropped
- Once I read this novel where it started snowing and just never stopped and the people had to build a whole new society under the snow, so no, I don’t get a little nervous when there’s no end in sight to snow. Why do you ask?
- I’m glad that no one’s bothered to plow our streets so that the new snow can just pile neatly on top of the Sunday snow. Imagining us found in late spring, perfectly preserved, like Han Solo in carbonite.

- WPXI coming in hot with the most Pittsburgh comment on snow removal that has ever been quoted. www.wpxi.com/news/local/l...
- People who live in Real Winter places are stronger than me. It has only been 36 hours and I fear I will succumb to wind madness from the noise outside. I am considering getting on my treadmill and walking until I collapse so I don’t atrophy. I am rationing our food since it needs to last a year.
- Just finished the audiobook for Our Wives Under the Sea, and it blew my socks off. What a strange beautiful novel.
- Just checked the 15 day forecast and it is not supposed to get above freezing and more snow is coming. It’s not going anywhere. I will see you all in May , or once the infrastructure is in place to burrow through the twelve foot high perpetual snow drifts.
- Secretary Collins is a *Baptist military chaplain*. And this post on X is all he has said that his 442,612 employees mourning their colleague can see. No internal comms. Just blame and hate. Typical.
- Veterans Affairs Sect. Collins finally put out a statement regarding VA nurse Alex Pretti's death. Link and screenshot (with alt text) x.com/SecVetAffair...
- Reposted by Eleanor’s TrousersA basic tenet of my worldview is that fascism is very hard to sustain due to the fundamental rowdiness of people. You have to do so much for so long to contain it. You will never have enough guys. Eventually you just give up and start killing people but you go to sleep surrounded by the feral living
- Once these people are all buried under the jail, petition to rename the Minneapolis location the Alex Pretti Memorial VA Medical Center.
- Grieving yet another Nazi tragedy, I still put on my black sequined shorts and left the house for a pre-blizzard gay cocktail party, because Liza Minelli did not do Cabaret for nothing.
- Pittsburgh history fun fact: McKeesport and McKees Rocks are named after two different unrelated McKee guys. (Thanks for being there when I googled @cpotterpgh.bsky.social )
- I avoid outdoors in winter on normal days, but you know what? If we get as much snow as they say we will … yes. I do want to build a snowman.
- Dear Lord. A CPR-trained kindergarten teacher and a personal care attendant got the agent through three seizures and into an ambulance and they arrested them anyway.
- Oh man. Someone from headquarters asked me for a follow-up call after I did a presentation, so I was prepping for data requests, etc. She wanted to find out how to get herself a new job. Yes! Ask around for informational chats if you’re job hunting but like, tell people that’s what you want …
- Someone on FB dubbed the impending storm Greenland’s Revenge, which made me giggle.
- Pittsburgh : In case anyone can’t make it to the store. Promo code in their app is STAYWARM
- Update! The harp was in fact burgled!
- When my cat, Special Agent Fox Mulder, decides to stay in bed after I get up, it makes me wary of the vibe of the day as a whole. The animal kingdom says no to this morning. Why must I say yes?
- For some reason, I thought watching Prozac Nation would be 90s nostalgic if a bit gloomy. I never read the book in its heyday and the movie did not make me want to. It’s tough to write a memoir and give yourself zero sympathetic characteristics but she sure managed to. RIP but yikes.
- I need so much more information here. Was he disappointed in his musical career? Did he steal the harp and dove in to evade capture? Did he play a secret chord that drove him to madness?
- Medical appointment notes are fun. Shout out to my doc for describing my neck as “supple,” and describing my vibe as “Appropriate affect, alert and oriented to person, place and time.” Over here meeting minimum expectations. And supple.

- You do not have to hand it to the Pittsburgh Police, but in this one skirmish between evil and evil they have prevailed.
