Dear @Starbucks, your Amazon storefront has a typo. I double-checked my spelling and this doesn't look like an intentional SEO play. But, Shop Srarbucks did make me giggle.

.@BurgerKing, this pop-up notification on a Black-focused holiday might not have been the best choice for #Juneteenth. Equating Whopper Wednesday with what is known as our "second independence day" after 200+ years of enslavement isn't a good look.
ALT Pop-up notification from Burger King . Now 🤔 Is today a holiday? YES! It's a $3 Whopper Wednesday. Grab your $3 Whopper or Impossible Whopper now I'm the BK App. At part. U.S. rest. Terms apply.

Delighted to share that "Chasing Chickens" was a finalist in the education/academic category of 2024 @AmerBookFest American Legacy Awards!!! Published by @Kansas_Press, represented by @LaneHeymont of @TheTobiasAgency. #AmericanLegacyBookAwards
I'm really disappointed by @PetSmart's decision to no longer have staff on site overnight for their Pets Hotel. From 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., your pets' safety is at the mercy of a third party vendor.

How has this gone for other animals? Let's ask the 12 dogs who died because they were unattended at a kennel facility and the AC went out. wfla.com/news/florida/12-dog…

Every time I deal with my health insurance, it feels like "Please, Sir, I'd like to live."

Getting old is weird. Like, I tell myself I can't get a pair of chinchillas because I can't imagine being nearly 60 and still taking care of them. Like, my dog, sure, we'll be slowing down together. But nocturnal South American rodents? Big commitment.

I'm still locked out of Facebook, which also means I'm locked out of messenger. I haven't blocked or deleted anyone - This is all because there is a bug preventing me from uploading photo id proof. Please bear with me.
Someone has been leaving tiny dinos all through one of my favorite indie bookstores. We don't know who is doing it and more keep appearing.

Some days I sincerely consider going to a landline only and never having a smart or mobile phone ever again, just to have some actual time without the constant expectation of availability. theconversation.com/amp/gen-…

If anyone needs some unexpected joy - One of my favorite indie bookstores, Jan's in Beaverton, has had more than twenty mini glow-in-the-dark dinos appear between and behind books in the store. No one has confessed yet. instagram.com/p/CqYj7jRvdn5/
