I hate that when you’re stressed enough your body just starts falling apart. I think it should realize you’re already stressed and don’t need that and start functioning better actually

Any working dog that doesn't have a job will give themselves a job and Boomer is a hound dog and has given himself the job of screaming every time he thinks we're being too rough with Penny

This unfortunately means he screams every time my husband so much as tickles Penny

[kaity--did]

Penny had learned to exploit this but starting to yell "BOOMY HELP ME!" Whenever we start to tell her she has to get around for the day and he will just start screaming

so back when my little brother was in high school, my mom went as a chaperone for their senior year field trip to an amusement park. which, you know, brave move to volunteer to supervise a bunch of high school seniors let loose in a wonderland of rollercoasters and sugar

my brother and his friends in this field trip group were truly great kids. but they were not above run of the mill teenage boy shenanigans. it’s the end of senior year, you and all your buddies are at the amusement park, you’re naturally going to want to act like a complete moron

there was one kid in the group who was especially prone to goofing around. committed to the bit, some may say. my mom knew that if nonsense was going to break out, he’d likely be at the center of it

so she goes up to this kid at the very start of the trip and says “hey, i’m kinda worried about this chaperoning thing. this might be a lot to ask, but can you help me keep an eye on everyone? you wouldn’t have to do anything big, just be an extra set of eyes for me.”

friends, this kid proceeded to run their field trip group like the fucking us marines. everyone is at the meet up spots at the designated time. everyone waits in line for the rides like a bunch of boy scouts. the second the horseplay gets too out of hand, this kid is getting it back under control

it’s incredible how differently people act based on the expectations you set. instead of going to this kid and saying “hey, i know you’re trouble, so i’ve got my eye on you,” my mom went “hey, i know you have influence in your peer group, so i think you can help me.”

treat someone like a problem, they’ll act like a problem. but give people a chance to help, make them feel important, and they usually rise far above the occasion. it was a stroke of genius that i’m honestly still in awe of

Astronauts are so funny man. Here's just a couple of things I've found hilarious from this past week of space stuff:

It's probably already been spread around here enough already, but in case anyone's missed it; 7 hours after launch, commander Reid Wiseman, dealing with tech issues, uttered the generational quote "I have two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one of those are working."

After fixing the issues that were afflicting the onboard toilet, mission specialist Christina Koch (who has quickly become my favourite of the four) laughingly said “I’m the space plumber, I’m proud to call myself the space plumber.”

On Easter Sunday, the Artemis II crew hosted a makeshift egg hunt, by hiding packets of dehydrated scrambled eggs around their Orion capsule.

The way the crew always makes sure to make it very clear they're in space when doing interviews. From stuff like Wiseman just hanging out floating sideways on screen or Koch letting her hair loose so it can freely span out flowing around her.

While in transit, the crew decided to record a parody of those bad 80s sitcom intros where everyone turns and smiles at the camera.

When the crew reached the furthest point from Earth in the mission, they jokingly clambored over each other in an effort to get to the far side of the capsule, so that they could individually claim to be the furthest person from earth.

At the same time, on the ISS which was at the time on the other side of earth, the 7 astronauts onboard had a light-hearted race to the far side of the station, making jokes about being the furthest humans from Artemis.

On the way back to earth, NASA actually managed to establish an audio call between the crews of the ISS and Artemis II (where they shared the above info), and Koch called one member of the ISS crew, Jessica Meir, her "astro-sister" as the two of them previously spacewalker together in 2019. Meir then responded I'm so happy that we are back in space together, even if we are a few miles apart" (a few here being 230,000).

While Jeremy Hansen was doing an interview, Wiseman and Koch were just in the background swatting the mission mascot (a little moon plush toy named Rise) back and forth between each other.

i fucking love people. it's beautiful out today; the first really nice friday in boston.

college-age dude on his second-floor balcony, drinking what i think was maybe a blue ribbon. goblin on my leash. i was processing a different fellow we had just passed who was playing 12 string on his porch, quite well, but i didn't know whether to make eye contact. it seemed rude to look at the guy playing 12 string. also i had tripped pretty visibly while walking by and was mortified by that.

dude on the 2nd floor balcony sees my beloved greyhound. calls out like juliet. "awwww is that. did he race?"

well, kind of, not really, but the story is too complicated for this type of interaction, so: "yeah!" meanwhile goblin is bending his own nose into a 90-degree angle against a particularly good-smelling brick.

dude burst into tears. like actually. "awww, man. they're like, so mean to their dogs, man. he's got - does he have a limp? awww poor guy."

usually this unlocks like a 20 minute conversation from me (yes he has a limp, it's permanent, he's not in pain, he just is missing bones and instead has a metal leg). but the dude is crying and he's also on the second floor and bending over his railing and also i am afraid of heights. so instead, while being dragged away by a 70lb fawn-colored stick figure, i say: "he's okay!" and then, to continue gaslighting this poor man, "he's fine!"

dude goes, "aww the baby!!"

we were both immediately ejected from this conversation by an icecream truck whipping down this street. speed of car does not increase speed of the jingle, by the way. but ice cream truck hit a pothole and the jingle did do a little WHOOP.

also shoutout to my really tired old white guy gynecologist who when i said "i want a hysterectomy" did not push back at all and instead sighed, and without looking up at me from his tablet went "We'll have to do a bunch of stuff for insurance because it's a scam and otherwise they won't approve it" and then after laying out the plan walked me out and i dont know if we made eye contact once after shaking hands, which is exactly the kind of medical care i want in this day and age.

idk if I've told this story on here before but one time I was sitting at my desk at work and a random dog I'd never seen before strolled into my office and curled up at my feet. and I was like oh you are adorable but what the fuck?

then a woman knocked on the door and said "oh I'm so sorry he's a therapy dog he's trained to seek out people in severe distress"

and I was like right okay, just getting my whole life drive-by roasted by a dog then
