you're terrible, muriel

I have a high school reunion tonight and I was trying on a bunch of dresses from my closet last night to figure out what to wear. Some of them juuuuust fit (with some off spots), others are too snug. And it was making me feel bad about my body. Then I got dressed for tennis today and I put on these (biker? legging? Idk) shorts I haven’t worn since last year that both look and feel good! And it reminded me that there’s nothing wrong with my body, it’s just the clothes. I’ve outgrown them as I’ve gained at least thirty pounds in the last few years and it’s ok. Also quite frankly clothes are poorly made and we all know this. I’m perfectly fine! As much as I’d like to wear the more fun eye catching dresses I have, I will just keep it lowkey and wear a plain dress that fits me well and is comfortable and won’t be worrying me the whole night.

Love Island USA made me very upset tonight I’m so pissed at the America vote!!!!!!!

wear those cute outfits as much as possible because they won’t fit in a year or two

I’m crying there are a bunch of Scottish people in Boston for some reason and they found the Boston Cop Slide and I watched a video of one of them sliding down it while playing bagpipes and the rest of them were clapping

The men on Love Island USA (except for KC who is a prince) pissed me off tonight

when Bea (the Paralympian) said, “I compete for medals, not men,” I cheered

i've always been a granny panties advocate. life's too short to wear something that rides up my butt.

I think I might be going to ALA this year after all! Meg Cabot, here I come

imagine being ashlyn harris, who was often back-up goalie and did not dress for most games, and having a documentary about her named "gamechangers: the ashlyn harris story." what, exactly, did ashlyn change? especially while on the same team as megan rapinoe, abby wambach, and hope solo? lol. and having the gall to say things like, "i don't resent or regret anything about the life i built with her [ali krieger]; it just wasn't for me." it just feels callous to continually say things like that in the public eye about a very long relationship and marriage with kids that she left for sophia bush

struggling with working today

oh tonight’s episode ended too soon!!!!!! that was a good one

seems homophobic for Love Island to play “Hot To Go” on this extremely hetero show

Something people love to do on Facebook is post a pic snarking on data centers with an image that was created by AI (which they don’t seem to be able to recognize). I always point it out when I see that happen because I figure they do not realize this and for this latest one, I thought I should since it is a local political candidate running for office and she has been making it her stance. I was even able to locate a Snopes article with more information. All this goes back to is people really need to just stop grabbing random images before they post - this is not a new problem because of AI. It has always been an issue, with uncited or photoshopped pics. AI is just another layer of this problem on social media. It is ultimately tech illiteracy.
