The thing about my mom dying in February is that I felt like I had processed that information but everyone once and a while it hits me like a rocket to the sternum.

My mom was pretty awful to most of the people in her life, in a lot of ways, for a really long time. We made amends a few years before she actually died. I miss her. And I still want to talk to her. But she also sucked for like. 30 years of my life. So. It's weird!

I got a *bilateral salpingectomy* yesterday!

If there is an afterlife, I hope Guinness and my mom are hangin' out.

My mom died on Friday. She had cancer, diagnosed in December, 2022. It feels fast, it feels sudden, but it wasn't unexpected.

I am still trying to figure out how to talk about it.

Sometimes I think I am not at all like my mother, and then I find myself looking at dog adoption ads as a coping mechanism.

#my mom famously got a pet almost every time something bad happened in her life.#which is why as a kid we had 2 dogs 3 turtles 2 iguanas 1 parrot and a guinea pig all at once #and why she got two dogs after her cancer diagnosis #anyway i am not going to get another dog because Rumour likes being the only dog in the house but. there are so many.

I went to Italy for 4 days for a work thing and good GOD.

“They’re trying to convince people they can’t do the things they’ve been doing easily for years – to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies – to write that for you.” We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, “that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won’t know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can’t do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat. People are already doing this. You won’t have to process grief, because you’ll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it’s going to destroy humans, long before there’s a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people.”

She loves me.

Fun thing about football right now is that there's a move called the "brotherly shove" that the Eagles do when they're very close to scoring, where the whole team puts their hands on the ass of the guy with the ball and physically propels him over the line into the endzone for the touchdown, and all the other teams' fans hate it because it's got such a ridiculously high rate of success for the Eagles and doesn't really seem to work for any other team. People are straight-up calling for this move to be banned, claiming it's "unstoppable" and gives an "unfair advantage" but it really and truly is a skill issue. The whole league hates this move because it only makes the Eagles win more often and nobody else can figure out how to do it right

Other teams are so afraid of it that they panic and do some wacky looney tunes shit to try and stop it. The refs had to come out on the field and tell the bad guys to stop doing this

because it's blatantly against the rules of football, and that if they tried it a fourth time in a row that they would just straight-up grant a free touchdown to the Eagles

The rest of the NFL: this move doesn't work for us but it always works for the eagles... how do we stop them, we've tried everything... Washington Commanders Linebacker Frankie Luvu: ...not everything... Washington Commanders Linebacker Frankie Luvu:
