In keeping with tradition, here’s my top ten list of the best events of 2022 and the worst events of 2022, vaguely ranked in the order that they most impacted my life.

Best

To celebrate my 40th birthday, I forced myself to think about what I wanted more than anything, which turned out to be spending time alone with the person I love the most, eating good food, and looking at art. We executed that plan to perfection in Kansas City, and it put so many things into perspective – most notably, it gave me a glimpse of what I want retirement to look like. It was the best three days I can remember. (January 7-9)

After reaching a lifetime record weight in June, I incrementally dropped 15 pounds by doing nothing more than mostly giving up alcohol. It’s nice to exhibit some self-control and see results. (July-December)

My biggest work event of the year is the annual meeting, which I emcee. I wasn’t happy with my performance in 2021, so I needed to come back and do better this year. I did. And I feel like everyone did, which made for our best presentation to date. (October 13)

We remodeled our bedroom closets and added a master bathroom to our house so that all four of us don’t have to share the tiny bathroom upstairs. (Summer)

Liz and I went to San Antonio for our anniversary and found more food and art, highlights included the ramen at Kimura, and the Color Room at Hopscotch. (April 1-3)

Gus started Kindergarten without missing a beat, which filled me with an immense pride for his independence and willingness to confidently take on what the world will inevitably throw at him. (August 22)

I don’t know how to properly label this as an event, but I can’t not acknowledge that we had another unbelievable spring/summer in the front yard/on the street with fantastic neighbors, and I cannot think of a better community in which to raise our children. (March-September)

Argenta Reading Series came back with a great event after a two-and-a-half year pandemic-induced hiatus. (September 17)

Liz and I spent three days in a house in New Orleans with my friend Stanis – whom I had not seen since 2015 – and his friends to celebrate his 40th birthday. (June 2-5)

I feel like I made progress in finding the voice I want to use for writing about my relationship with food – culminating with my well-received Arkansas Times article about the top 10 meals I ate in Arkansas this year (December 26).

Worst

Zill died. In the seven years that I knew him, death always seemed like a near possibility because of the many physical hurdles he faced, but losing him is still tough. I will miss his dry wit, the rare occasions when he discussed his boyhood in Oklahoma, and the reciprocal joy he and my sons brought to each other. They will have a hole in the space where their Papou lived. As will I. (December 31)

I fainted and hit my head, which left a scar I will see on my forehead for the rest of my life, always reminding me of how unexpectedly my health can plummet. (July 17)

Magnus had a crazy two-month-long (and counting!) sleep regression, which forced Liz and I to take shifts sleeping on the floor beside his crib. (November-December)

A never-ending list of professional and personal responsibilities brought on by my own desire to achieve more has given me a constant feeling of general overwhelmedness, which drifted occasionally into depression throughout the year.

For the second year in a row, I haven’t been able to prioritize writing new things, which means I haven’t been able to process my thoughts, feelings, and emotions well.

Too personal to discuss publicly.

Despite feeling creatively fulfilled professionally, I have not felt creatively fulfilled in my personal endeavors. The lowest point being when I finished the year with back-to-back poor public readings. (November 19/December 6)

At least one person at our house was sick at any given time for a solid two months. (November-December)

Too personal to discuss publicly.

I finally got COVID, then had to drive – bleary-eyed and sneezing – in a rental car, through a blizzard from Pagosa Springs, Colorado to Little Rock. When I returned the car, I couldn’t get anyone (friends/Uber/Lyft/Yellow Cab/a random dude to whom I offered $50) to pick me up and take me home, so after a two-day drive, I sat at the airport for over an hour, desperately trying to get home. So close, yet so far away situation. (February 1-2)

okay most employed people in westeros pre agot

tyland: went from westerlands bureaucrat to master of ships to lord treasurer to getting tortured to hand of a boy king #goals

elaena: first ever pensioner in the history of the iron throne. ran the master of coin office like the navy AND got a boytoy out of it.

aegor: single-handedly created the most successful mercenary company in essos and was probably the architect of the blackfyre rebellions after daemon died (flop).

larys: only person to ever enjoy being a little office guy. loves his job as head torturer so much he doesn't even care they are probably not paying him.

#context: knightsickness list of best to worst hotd hot topic employees #the opposite of jobless behavior iktr and crucially people who liked their jobs #in my heart: jace but he never got the chance to micromanage all of westeros </3 #bloodraven not here because he got sent to the wall a good employee wouldn't get caught. floppppp #tyland lannister #elaena targaryen #larys strong #aegor rivers #vallyrian scrolls #asoiaf #i did not forget elaena seee????

Mind and Heart both know how to cook and bake. Mind prefers baking because of the rigid instructions, and Heart prefers cooking because he can experiment with the recipes.

Soul should not be allowed anywhere near a kitchen. Heart asked if Soul wanted to cook once and he brought out a Mountain Dew cookbook. He’s never asked again.

Headcanon #319

#chonny jash #submission #cj mind #cj heart #cj soul #chonny's charming chaos compendium #no but like let Soul cook tho. literally let him cook #mountain dew is my everything #like my body will die 20 years younger because of how much mnt dew i drink #genuinely i probably have only drank mnt dew in the last week. weeks or months even. maybe some milk & MAYBE water #the water is a recent addition cos like i need more hydration lol #like we joke soul drinks nothing but the sugar free monster from the qna #but when i say it i mean it exactly the way i drink mnt dew #can also make mnt dew tier list. i love the different flavors #baja blast & whiteout are the best things humanity has ever owned #i am soul but soda #“Haha he's literally me” but in the worst chaotic way possible

Genuinely I would love to see Charles leave Ferrari and go to Red Bull but at the same time I worry that him going to Red Bull would mean he won't get equal fighting status in the RB. What are your thoughts on this?

i think this is a lot of people’s hesitation over it tbh. my only remaining hesitation is the fact that charles really wanted it to be with ferrari and if he leaves it’ll be losing to that bank to some degree b/c the politics of it all managed to force him to leave his dream team… like, that’s upsetting. i almost wish to see ferrari become competent so that he can have everything he wants, be their chosen one, etc.

realistically i just don’t think they will any time soon. and right now, charles gets treated like a second driver to carlos 99% of the time, so if he’s going to get that treatment i would much rather it happen in an insanely competent team with a car that suits him (bc he and max have similar preferences) that he can excel with regardless of the team’s strategies. bc even if he doesn’t get preference, with the car he can carry it anyway.

however, i actually don’t think rbr would #2 driver him that aggressively. they like to be Unique™ and edgy. they like their youngest winners youngest drivers record breaking moldbreakers reputation. they are literally an energy drink dominating a bunch of legendary car constructors. if any team is going to decide to try out the two #1 drivers domination plan, it’s going to be rbr.

especially when 1) fia/libertymedia have been pushing for a team to do it for the entertainment, 2) it’s charles leclerc and treating ferrari’s (very beloved, very marketable) prince better than ferrari ever did is an insanely good look, 3) mercedes couldn’t really do it without bloodshed and rbr loves to outdo mercedes, and 4) rbr want to keep their star driver engaged and entertained enough to keep him from retiring to a different racing series… hand delivering his lifelong rival and new bestie in the same car so they can really fight (and knowing charles would actually challenge him) is a great strategy if you want to keep max in f1.

#more pessimistic view: they need a number 1 when max leaves them #so if they fear he’s getting closer to retiring from f1? stealing a new star boy is high on the priority list #best outcome for rbr is max stays longer and he and Charles demolish the field together #worst outcome max still leaves in 28 or whenever his contract is up and they have Charles Leclerc to demolish the field #lestappen gate 2023 #*oracles #lestappen #rbr Charles

One of my friends asked what some of my favorite moment in Worm are and I've narrowed it down to just a few but how am I supposed to choose between "they seem like good people" I lied, or the second lung fight with the caterpillar in the eye to win, or Taylor breaking out of the burning building Coil trapped her in, or her terrorizing people while drinking tea, or when Taylor tries to 1v1 Leviathan to save people and gets her back shattered, or when Rachel saves her afterwards, or when we learn Rachel carved the names of her dogs into the monument, or when Taylor almost kills Triumph with bees, or the Mannequin fight, or running through the streets to warn people about Shatterbird's scream, or the fridge, or cutting Noelle in half, or just how hopeless the Noelle fight seemed before that with Eidolon caught, or Eidolon and Glaistig Uaine's fight with Scion, or Phir Sé's time bomb engulfing Behemoth and just obliterating him only for Behemoth to keep going, or Chevalier's interlude where he goes out to fight Behemoth alone despite being injured, or String Theory, or the wards therapy interlude where Lily can't get over how Taylor's words are stuck in her head, or Labyrinth and Burnscar reuniting, or Legend looking at the lie detector after the meeting, or Taylor hovering over the ocean knowing she doesn't have the battery in her flight pack to get back, or Aster getting shot, or the oil rig fight when Taylor crawls back up as a monster after being cut in half, or the horror of Alec's interlude, or Bonesaw having a crisis because Contessa said like 4 words to her and oh hey that parallels with you needed worthy opponents I never noticed that, or Taylor telling Eidolon and Scion to fuck off and leave, or Scion's entire interlude, or Number Man's interlude when he thinks about what it means of powers if Jack Slash's loves how he does stuff, or Kevin Norton, or Taylor ruining the chili, or the cafeteria scene where she's outed but talks her way out, or maggots in his eyes monday, or her turning herself in, or her talk with Dinah when she realizes that there's a solid chance she becomes Coil and keeps Dinah around because it's useful, or her killing Coil, or her killing Alexandria and Tagg, or the Cauldron raid where she swings a death knife through a crowd to hit one guy, or her requesting Lung cauterize her arm, or when Piggot is kidnapped and she fucks up the Undersiders just by talking, or Taylor's attempt to become besties with the Simurgh, or the Simurgh singing a lullaby to Lisa and Taylor, or the tea party with Nilbog, Taylor, Jack, and Riley, or the moment she reunites with her team post-timeskip, or when Glenn shows her a video of her being horrifying and she only thinks about her passenger moving her in it, or when her passenger makes her choke on a cockroach to save her, or going shopping with Lisa for fun, or when she helps Rachel at the shelter, or when she goes home with Brian and meets Aisha, or when we see Dinah for the first time and it's fucked, or when Taylor has Amy fuck with her brain knowing she won't come back from it, or when Lisa finally opens up and tells Taylor about her trigger, or when Taylor goes blind, or when Clockblocker keeps asking her questions in the car ride to Echdina, or when Scapegoat takes her injuries and freaks out, or when Sundancer tears off her costume and walks through the portal after killing Noelle but the pavement is cooling around her because she'll never escape her power or what she just did, or Fortuna's interlude, or Rachel stepping into Khepri's range because she trusts her, or Lisa tearing into Taylor with words after she sees what happened, or the realization she can't read anymore, or the fight with Dragon where she thinks she killed her, or all of the fight with Scion where she's controlling thousands of people while her brain deteriorates, or "finally, everyone was working together," or the talk with Contessa at the very end? How am I supposed to choose?

#worm #parahumans #the best moment is when Taylor becomes the worm and she beats everyone with her worm powers #that part was really well done #I FORGOT THE MIASMA KISS FUCK #how much other shit did I forget #this may be my worst formatted post of all time #ramble #half of these aren't really seriously in the running for my fave #but they're still good #and I just got into a fugue of listing every single good moment

“There is an increasing misconception in internet culture where DNI lists are treated like impermeable magic spells. They have become more of an abstract, virtue signaling concept rather than a set of boundaries.”

To take my husband’s opinion: DNI if you have a DNI list 😂

#/hj #it’s virtue signaling at best #and discrimination at worst #even 18+ relies on the honor system #it’s up to you to curate your internet experience #people who are on DNI lists aren’t going to read them #bre bites #dni list

i'm a big proponent of the idea that the best products often have the worst websites.

#when we were looking for a brunch spot in london last week we were having a bunch of trouble narrowing it down #so i just picked the one that had the worst website #didn't even have a menu listed but had some random photos of tasty food #had a 'get quote' button front and center first thing on the page #because they didn't edit whatever business template they used to make the thing #incomprehensible three column layout #and then proceeded to have some of the best french toast of my entire life.

Actually "gal" is the woman version of guy, girl is the woman version of boy. Stick to referring to us as women instead of participating in the infantilization of women please 🙃

lmaaoooo you clown

#interesting how this is worded like a Request From The Woman Community #i am in fact a grown ass woman with grown ass woman friends #and when we talk about the shit that effects us as women. the fact that we refer to each other as girls is nowhere near the list #like. this is obvious to anyone who lives in the real world and interacts with other adults #but i suspect anon here is a child from that particular part of the idiotsphere #where the worst things that happen to women are whatever best fuels their need to be a nuisance #and cause their little online dogpiles #like they have this obsessive need to Speak For All Women #and when one of the ~4 billion women in the world disagrees with them? #we are either completely erased from their narrative or used as an example of the aforementioned dogpiling #because god forbid we step out of line #also on the word gal: american ass take #asky ask

Hrmm... put together a roommates quiz finally after years of thinking it would be an interesting idea lol.. Though obviously not meant to be taken super seriously, I just like thinking about this aspect of personality compatibility. Like yeah, maybe you could get along with someone just chatting with them, but living together is such a different thing. .. curiouse...

#Not that I think that many people would really care since I barely know anyone on tumblr in real life and would never live with random #internet strangers lol but... idk.. I made this to give to friends from time to time and thought... why not post it here too #just out of sheer curiosity if anyone takes it what the most common results would be and etc. #My initial assumption is that most people would probably fall into the 'maybe' category and that either extreme of 'best roomates' #and 'worst roomates' would be the least common #very long also since I like to be thorough I guess #THOUGH... upon second thought... tumblr is home of the like Weird Introverts Who Sit Inside All The Time.. so maybe it's more #likely to come across compatible poeple on here. given that many of the questions are about how meticulous #people are with their scehdules or how often they invite friends over or if they like to mostly stay inside etc. #(since personally I think having a roommate coming and going and bringing random people over all the time would be too chaotic #lol... I need a peaceful quiet household) #Also I kind of don't like the way uquiz seems to do results. I was hoping it would be a number tally? I used some sort of quiz making site #before where you weight the question responses with a number (so the 'Best' response is worth a 0 #The worst is worth like 5 points. and all the in between are like 1 - 4 points or something). So then it is actually possible to have a #''perfect score'' category (someone who gets a literal 0 points). and also you could weight some EXTREMELY bad answers #to add like +10 to the score instead of just +5. And someone who got the MAX possible points would be the WORST compatibility. etc. #But uquiz seems to just be like ''which category did you score towards the MOST'. So someone can give some pretty bad answers #that are VERY non compatible. but as long as MOST of their answers landed in a 'compatible' category #then they would still be listed as compatible despite still actually having some dealbreakers in there. Which is also possible with the #'every answer is a number amount' ranking system too. but I feel like that one does allow for a little more customization #and accuracy (like making the dealbreakers add like...+40 to the score or something so that #there's basically NO way that someone could answer with one of those and still get a good score. Or the ability to have a literal #'perfect score' (getting a zero) etc. #BUt anyway lol... inchresting.. inchresting... curious to consider maybe making a uquiz #for the characters in the gameI'm making like.. which npc are you type quiz or something #now that I've made one and seen how it works.. hrmm hrmm.... #(< game will not even be done for like another year but still thinking about nonsense like this lol)
