regular human kate

I have had this account a lot longer than that little putz who now owns it and I guess the government? Anyway I’m not here so much these days but I love to yap so let’s connect elsewhere. I’m this on most platforms, DM for further details.

The worst part of living alone is hoping that someone else will take out the trash.

this international women's day, get her what she REALLY wants (a large moat around her primary place of residence)

@taint_chakra Bob (the idiot) tried to change out his phone battery while it was on by prying the battery out with his 5 inch folding knife. Battery started smoking and burned a hole in the carpet. Bob is lucky he has all his fingers.

@taint_chakra I got to say “WHAT THE FUCK” at work in front of my boss and a bunch of kids without consequences because literally everyone was thinking it (thanks phone battery idiot guy!)

This week at the public library we had: puke (men’s room), poop smear art (men’s room), man poops in women’s room and refuses to flush, drug dealing and use (both bathrooms), cops at least once a day, and idiot who almost blew up his phone battery prying it out with a knife.

Got my dough starter from a good friend and also indirectly from a baking mentor sadly dead too young, and I think of Francois every time I bake and that is a little bit of immortality. Terry Pratchett said a man’s not dead while his name’s still spoken.

Minor life triumphs: successful homemade sourdough English muffins, the first few were a little undersized but make perfect English muffin mini pizzas. Nice and chewy and even better baked in the oven for CRONCH factor.

I don't think any of the usual management return-to-office talking points are true - but I do believe regular low-stakes social interaction with people who aren't friends and family is greatly beneficial to us as an inherently social species

And on my day off, too. It even distracted me from the inauguration shitshow! I got to go pet my mom’s elderly dogs and make small talk about extended family! And my car might actually start tomorrow without paying an arm and leg. Might!!

Shoutout to my dad for jumping my dead car, replacing my new car battery and even putting a new plug on my block heater so i don’t have to brave the landlord special outlet with an ungrounded connection. Hooray, my dad! It is -24 outside without the windchill.

the cure for sadness is to keep learning. occupy your mind in knowledge

You can tell literally any great narrative work with just Kermit the Frog, Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, and Gonzo. Sure, you could add an Animal or Rizzo the Rat or a British actor to round things out, but the essential elements of our greatest stories lie there in those four.

If you casually mention at the reference desk that this morning's been pretty quiet so far, library staff will react as though you just screamed Macbeth at the top of your lungs seventeen times in a theater.
