(These were just BIC pens, not fancy-ass Paxton pens.)

I bought pens today. I don't know if I've ever bought pens before.

I should just steal them like Ken Paxton.

This is probably a bad day to ask my org's head of #cybersecurity for anything, isn't it?

I probably just need an estrogen patch.

I am feeling unreasonably annoyed by trendy mattress name brands. #Nectar #Avocado #GFY

We need to make sure we have a new mattress before Mr. Blue's parents visit for Christmas, because we're not going to subject two people in their 80s to our shitty bed. (We'll take the den.)

We have to go mattress shopping on Saturday (ugh!) but we're going to treat ourselves to Ellie Bird afterward (yay!)

But it's FINE. Poor states can just help each other through mutual aid! No money needed.

Good luck self-funding disasters, red states: https://www.politico.com/news/2026/10/20/fema-states-disasters-exclusive-energy-environment-01128120 #FEMA

Keep in mind, I'm at high risk because I have Crohn's disease and my gastroenterologist told me to get it done.

Well this is bullshit: My insurance denied my #DEXA scan (for #osteoporosis.) Likely because I'm only 50, instead of 60. I guess they'd rather I wait until then and discover I have osteoporosis than discover I have #osteopenia now and take steps to avoid it?

BEST HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IN THE WORLDDDDDDD

I am I Need to Get Progressive Lenses at My Eye Doctor Appointment This Week years old.

how about no?

Yeah, I'm just going to block something called "followbot."

I'm not sure having #Trump show up in your state is going to help Republican candidates get elected. #USPol

I can't imagine buying a mattress without testing it out first, tbh.

Any #DMV folks have any opinions on local furniture stores for buying a new mattress? (We are NOT interested in buying one online, because we are old fuddy duddies.)

We went to Trouble Bird. It is a good bar. You should go to Trouble Bird if you are in D.C. and like #cocktails. They did not pay me to say this on #Mastodon.

I wish there was a way to block texts from unknown numbers, but it doesn't look like you can do that on an Android without also blocking calls, and I don't want to accidentally prevent a doctor's office or something from calling me.

I am literally NEVER going to donate to a candidate who's asking me for money via text.
