I can't take it anymore.

Jeremiah felt terrible and tried to glue it back with school glue (didn't work, obviously). I told my parents that Skids had come already broken, because I didn't want them to know I'd opened it at school. "Crap," my father (probably) declared.

Dear diary.

In 1984 Peter H. couldn't come to my birthday party because he was sick. He gave me the Transformer Skids the next week at school. Whose arm Jeremiah G. broke off transforming it that very day.

Decades later I found and bought a Skids (two, in fact) because I definitely had forgotten about that.

What the fuck

[quiet screams]

Um.

I wasn't asking for advice.

I'm not gonna defend Starbucks in some cosmic sense, but sometimes that's where you have to get coffee.

Your friends who insist on using Signal to gossip about Instagram posts or check in on common enemies. Like your friends who won't go to Starbucks or "only use LibreOffice."

It is easier to own a dog than to use Signal.

I feel like this kid should have paid attention in Horses 101.

At some point, thanks to scientism, every academic started talking about having a "lab," where lab meant something like, "a portion of the PhD student carrels in the common area," or "A room where we meet sometimes," or "You know, like, my office, I guess."

Honestly this company can fuck off.

Look what I just received.

Glasses were hot.

In 1981 my family went on vacation and we had to ask my grandparents to go to McDonald‘s that week to get the last Great Muppet Caper collectible glass.

Did they remember?“ you might be wondering.

I ordered them in July for August delivery. One sole cushion arrived, then they lost (?) the rest of the order in October.

Tomorrow I am finally supposed to receive the rest.

I can’t do this anymore.

I'm not even sure it serves their resumes, either. Nobody seems to know why they do it anymore.
