@danirabbit You’re riding the express train to super cute! 💖

@danirabbit Ugh. The hoops through which we must jump. :/

Which place was this so that it can be avoided?

There are exciting days at work and then there are _exciting_ days at work. This was one of the latter. After running on 12 happy pistons for 12 happy hours, I’m kicking back with a small tub of ice cream and a little greedy dog.

One of my all-time favorite Chibi photos.

@Terra@chaosfem.tw It’s gonna be a whole lot more once you add up all the years all the people who read your post are going to spend letting their minds tease at it. 📈

@Terra@chaosfem.tw Been thinking about this one pretty much nonstop since you shared it. 🙇‍♀️

It’s a lifelong art project, being a bad Japanese student. I’m really good at it.

Back in California, where the food isn’t quite as sumptuous, but there’s a little dō who jumps for joy when she sees me.

I may or may not have basically danced all the way from the bar back to my airbnb last night while listening to Future Nostalgia. I blame the sport peppers in my Vesper.

Tonight is my last night in Chicago. I’ve avoided it for two weeks, but, if only for old times’ sake, I think I have to have a PBR.

🫣

Also, a weak michelada. 😩

Today’s Chicago lunch was sourced from Big Star, a fairly well-regarded local institution.

I’m an absolute snob when it comes to Mexican food. Color me Not Impressed. I’ve had better; I’ve had better in Chicago; I’ve had better in Chicago on this trip.

@EmilyEnough Oh, this happens to me all the time. 😂

Okay, time to shower, walk to the panaderia, buy some coffee and marranitos (Mexican gingerbread pigs—a favorite), turn my phone off, and commit to a day of overwhelmingly difficult work. 🥳
