thanks so much for thinking of me 🩷

I appreciate the well wishes, and congrats on the new job.

if there is anyone who wanted to drop me a couple bucks to help me pay for my laser appointment today, that would make my day, though.

Transit agencies do themselves and their customers a favor when they don't make would-be passengers buy a new stored-fare card or install a new app.

LONDON My packing list for this short trip to the U.K. did not include any plastic cards with embedded electronics, because London was one of the earlier cities in the world to grasp that you can persuade people to take transit if you will just shut up and take their money right before they board instead of first asking them to buy a reloadable transit fare card. By “money” I mean the kind…

after i got lasered I stopped by the pharmacy to get myself anti-inflammatory (face: enflamed) (from the lasers) and antiacids (chewy) and chips (spicy) as a post-laser treat (good) and then got impossiburger (delicious) (comparatively less morally fraught) which took a Long While (restaurant: very busy) (surprisingly busy) (I have ADHD) and i put down the bag of supplies (short-sighted) (foolish) (I have ADHD) and then it took so long to get the burgers (surprisingly long) (surprisingly busy) (waited like 25 minutes) that i forgot about the bag (paper bag) (with my supplies) from the pharmacy (where I had gotten my supplies) and i took my food (ethical) (delicious) (late) (surprisingly) - the food guy complimented me on my name and all the blue in my outfit (eee) - I walked home (without my supplies) (from the pharmacy) (I have ADHD) and I only noticed this when I got home.
