NEW: A trucker in the convoy says he’s taking a day off from driving in laps around DC because “3 young girls in a blue Hyundai” flipped him off. He says he’s now fearful: “It wasn’t just a normal middle finger that was relaxed... It messed me up.” (per 1st Responders Media)

I am having such a bad mental health day that I'm making bread from scratch without measuring anything as an exercise in harnessing my own chaos. My own structural integrity feels like it's hanging on the structural integrity of this ad hoc bread.

The other thing haunting me is my sister's story about the 4 friends who made a NYE resolution not to shit their pants this year and none of them made it past March

I'm dreadfully certain that some asshole somewhere named their kid Taco Tuesday and I can't stop thinking about it
the closed captioning just spelled ganache GNash and I am now obsessed with this fictional rapper
I just watched a pair of Canadian geese proudly walk their baby goslings down the street and I just yelled, "That's so cute! Too bad you'll grow up to be jerks!"
