Worst Gerber variety of all.

A jar of minced garlic. As I made dinner tonight, it occurred to me that it bears a resemblance to baby food bottles.

I'm not a gambler, but I keep seeing this notation and my outsider brain can't parse it at all. Could somebody explain to me what the hell this means?

I have my doubts about these materials on TPT.....

I don't think they're charging me for nonalcoholic drinks, so I guess I can't complain, but daaaamn.

lol within seconds of me posting this, Random House Kids tagged me on Insta. I was right!

An Instagram post from Random House Kids noting that AJ TORRES AND THE TREASURE OF CAPTAIN GRAYSHARK is now out in paperback.

Oof. (Haven't looked at my alarms since Friday because I haven't worked since then. I . . . won't need this one ever again, but it feels weird to delete it.) 🥺

An alarm I set for last Friday, so I would get up extra early to give my sick dog medicine

Looky looky, I have an ARC of @as-king.bsky.social's new book and you don't! You'll just have to buy it when it comes out in October!

I disagree entirely. Nothing about this has been slow.

Stopped in a new-to-me library and saw an old friend.

A shelf of "New & Popular" children's books at a public library in Orange County, Florida, including my debut novel, Benny Ramírez and the Nearly Departed.

I can think of no reason why joining Kobe Rewards should require me to misgender myself, so guess who just gave themself an advanced degree. My parents would be so proud.

What is the point of the red cap in this ad? Has the red cap become like the Jesus fish for boomers?

An ad in Huff Post, where I guess you could click on a different line to learn (or get scammed about) changes to social security payments based on your age. For some inexplicable reason, the ad includes a red baseball cap hovering to the right of the different categories.

I deployed this meme in a face-to-face conversation (at a bar) and nobody recognized it or got it. I may be too online.

I'm gonna start an indie/alternative band called Done Sangre (pronounced to rhyme with "gun hanger").

Oh. A *valid* name. Sadly, I don't have one of those.

A clip from an e-invoice (I am the payer, not the payee) from IntuitQuickbooks. I have attempted to type my name in under "Account holder's name," and received the error message, "Please enter valid first and last name less than 40 characters."

Not shown: The issue is the diacritic on the e in my first name.

This is a prayer Hegseth read at a Pentagon worship service, which he claimed was from a chaplain before the Maduro raid. Let every round find its mark? Overwhelming violence of action? Those who deserve no mercy? I'm not Christian, but is this what y'all are about?
