I’m gonna need the IRS to *not* mail Americans letters when we log onto the IRS online. My brain: You’re going to jail. The letter: You logged onto our website. Thanks! I understand the government is behind. This is like sending a pigeon to confirm the USPS delivered a letter.
I had a dream D.A.R.E. came to my kid’s school and she was telling me about it and my response was to go on a rant about Nancy Reagan. I think that actually explains a lot about me.
You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me.
I would like everyone to know that I never owned a pager.
This was a great discussion.
I enjoy that when faced with the thought of nuclear war, Finland decided to build enough bunkers to house all its citizens and America floated the idea of just sacrificing five states. And everyone was like, great idea, Tom. I live in the nuclear sponge… so…
Me, trying to explain how you all connect to each other to anyone outside of our corner of tech.
I really need to start measuring things before I buy them. I apparently have the “it’ll probably fit” gene.
TIL Robin Hood’s King John is the same King John that signed the Magna Carta and I just feel like that should have been covered in Fairfax County curriculum.
What I expect @sarah_edo to do every time we see a toxic man who is my type. 😂
Them: What’s your love language? Me: Aaron Sorkin dialogue.
I’ve heard the rebuttal “that’s too tactical” enough at this point to remind everyone that your gorgeous strategy will remain a doc if you never define tactics. You need both. How is this not obvious.

@editingemily I think that's actually a merit badge. I've been trying to log onto the IRS web site for years and they're not having any of it.
@editingemily In Canada they email you to tell you you're getting a letter. So then you can sit in suspense for a week wondering where you fall on the spectrum from "ooh, refund!" to "oops, jail!" It's super fun.
Agreed. Always be expecting the worst when I get a letter in the mail from them…
I’m gonna need the IRS to *not* mail Americans letters when we log onto the IRS online. My brain: You’re going to jail. The letter: You logged onto our website. Thanks! I understand the government is behind. This is like sending a pigeon to confirm the USPS delivered a letter.
This. 100%. This.

I’m kind of shocked by how many messages I’ve gotten from people saying that they are shocked and sad at this news. It’s like I published an obituary or something.
@editingemily Agonized for days thinking I did something wrong and it was from logging in once to check payment went through lol
Who is the character you’re slowly turning into?
Who is the character you’re slowly turning into?
@editingemily I swear those are the worst letters, I download the mail image, zoom it, use OCR to guess what the letter could be saying and all for a letter saying, thanks for signing up for online services.
@dmkoelle @editingemily Totally agree, and other agencies do this. But when I see an envelope from the SSA or Treasury direct, my lizard brain allows rational brain to think and realize it's cuz I logged in. But the Infernal Revenue Service?
@editingemily I legit froze when I got it and was so incredibly angry after I opened it
@Nayfield @editingemily Now imagine you got that letter but you *hadn’t* changed your password. I think that’s why they send it. It’s 2FA that works for everyone with a mailing address (just a bit delayed)
@editingemily @KristyT We did a retractable one for this reason!
@editingemily Oh JFC had the same dread last week, knowing an IRS envelope was coming to my house later that day - via informed delivery. "How the fuck are they auditing the week I filed?" was my mental state. Just some COBOL program printing a form letter letting me know I changed my pw
My kindergartner's homework for the upcoming week is to draw a place that makes her feel calm She drew her home 🥰
I had my best idea of the year! I was trying to find @KiaRichards_ amongst a crowd of hundreds of thousands at #JazzFest. I told her send me a pic of what she sees and I sent her a pic of my view. 2 minutes later...
this is literally me. I happily pay my taxes, but why do I need to feel stressed because it always feels like I did them wrong???
