Murphy does not need a real egg to feel accomplished!!He’s quite content with his rock, and VERY protective of it! After his spring hormones have run their course, he will get bored and move on to other activities. Poor rock.

i have hit peak cognitive dissonance with all the brunching, vacationing, lake-going -- is there a different timeline where the virus doesn't exist? can i go? what's the password?

twitter is dying and i am absolutely not learning a new platform. i will show up at your family gathering and yell my opinions. i will slide jokes under your door. i will drop memes on you from low orbit

i'm less shocked by last night than i thought i would be, and i think i owe a lot of that to two books i read concurrently: @Isabelwilkerson 's Caste and @chick_in_kiev 's Culture Warlords. we need to stop saying "this isn't who we are!" and start being way more honest.
