I’m so excited for this. The Fitchburg Cutoff Trail is so nice, but goes nowhere useful. Getting to Belmont Centre is a big deal. https://mass.streetsblog.org/2024/03/06/after-a-4-year-delay-belmont-gears-up-to-build-its-first-segment-of-the-mass-central-rail-trail
but what if I need to pick up four large pizzas after school pickup in the famous Boston winter rains
Called in sick to work tomorrow with an acute case of wanting to tell some/anyone to go fuck themselves
Thanks for our shitty rainy Boston winter climate future, America.

OK, I have turned every line of dialog from Office Space into a .gif, and you can now refresh it to get a new one every time! (There are 1002 .gifs! 🤯)
But why? I don’t know, why not. 🤷♂️ 🤣

Oh. So Taylor Lorenz is out here misrepresenting and deadnaming #NexBenedict while erasing and dismissing trans voices? LOL. Okay.
ITS TIME FOR TRUE HOLLYWOOD/INGLEWOOD STORIES WITH ERICKA SIMONE. GATHER ‘ROUND CHILDREN. BECAUSE NO THIS BITCH WILL NOT.
Also my employer is doing a big push on fucking ‘wellness,’ it’s taking my all to not just set “I get 30 minutes of time every weekday that is not devoted to work, kid, or sleep” as my outlook status
“There are no bad ideas in brainstorming, except that one” - what I just had to write down on my notepad in this meeting to avoid saying out loud
