We buried my beloved Grandma Veva yesterday. She was 87 years old. It was a beautiful Spring day, and nearly everyone who loved her was able to be there. I can’t tell you how many times someone said, “I’m so glad to see you again, even though it’s under these sad circumstances.” She did everything she could to make sure it was easy on us—made all the arrangements in advance; had a simple viewing and reception but no formal service—but it was still tough. I miss her.
Removing Twitter/Tweetbot from my Home Screen has definitely reduced how often I open it. I don’t start the day by doomscrolling. I do miss all of you a bit, but this feels good.
Meanwhile, we caught up on Better Call Saul. My heart. 💔 That is the most beautiful show, even when it’s showing something tragic and terrible. Give Vince and his team and all the actors all the awards.
@paultook Right now I’d say it’s as good. It benefits from our knowledge of BB, but not in a gimmicky fanservice way. I appreciate that.
@paultook Except it raises as many questions as it answers!!

We are officially ON for Oktoberfest, folks! Good thing we bought our outfits already… 🍻
@susiegii @BugHunterSam The other definition is: “an affectionate insult for someone who is, or is perceived to be, unfashionable, lacking self-consciousness about their appearance and/or with poor social skills yet affable and amusing.” That’s the one we were talking about!
@gilmae @lemon_lime Wikipedia: “In Australia, it is often used as an affectionate insult for someone who is, or is perceived to be, unfashionable, lacking self-consciousness about their appearance and/or with poor social skills yet affable and amusing.” Not bad.

@FarrahC32 @lynnlangit My older friend Lyn has a great response to those statements, where the person is just being a complete idiot: you give them a withering stare and calmly say, “Thank you for that useful contribution.” She manages to convey an ocean of contempt with it. 😂

@jedws @Amys_Kapers @unixbigot I can’t believe none of you heard me say it before! Or my favourite unit of measurement – the metric ass-ton.
@Amys_Kapers @jedws @unixbigot A subtle but important distinction, like how Rodd keeps telling me that the US tablespoons in my recipes aren’t the same as the Australian tablespoons in our kitchen, and I just shrug. (Metric ass-spoons, amirite?)
