The person misusing my email changes their Comcast password a lot & orders weight watchers smoothie flavors that sound vile. (I don't like raspberry 'flavor'. Or French vanilla.)

Another day wfh because work didn't officially open until 10, but I was working at 7.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Do you live near a state line, Dana? They could split you between states to really mix things up.

ION, I would really appreciate it if we could wait at least two weeks before society collapses.

Do you ever wonder how French vanilla differs from vanilla?

Katie went to hockey tonight so I made chicken tikka masala for me and the twins. NOM.

I took a sick day from work thanks to feeling crummy from working on my laptop all night. Started to feel guilty, but it was going to be a quiet day for me and this uses up excess leave hours that I'm always scrambling to use before losing at year's end. And the curling up in bed in a quiet apartment for several more hours worked wonders for my headache.

Also good to introduce my best friend and the Mrs. to a really good Mexican place in a neighboring small town for dinner tonight, which was fun. My fajitas came in a big cauldron carved out of volcanic rock!

It tastes like the antibiotic I threw up when I was 7. I haven't an idea what differentiates it, but I can taste the flavor without being told the name. It's NOT vanilla.

It turns out Facebook thinks I'm black.

I interact with nothing public, but Facebook did have me in two ad categories: black and Republican. Which is hilarious on so many levels.

Also, timelies, everyone!

Thrive to spite them

Facebook thinks I am black too. I smile faced that to see if I would get more ads.

Me too. And it seems I have moderate engagement with soccer related content and am a frequent traveler? Random. They got my birthday, my political leanings, and how I connect to FB correct. I'm not seeing anything I'm particularly concerned about there, but I did purge a number of apps and I'll probably skip quizzes from here on out.

I'm not being good about articulating my thoughts, but short version: fb algorithms deciding you are black because you give a fuck is an indictment of the whiteness of fb inside. Systemic racism at work in weird but unsurprising ways.
