Under the cap, he has messy brown hair, and is smiling innocently. Panel 3: Shen, still stoic, now holds up a picture of a rooster with both hands. Panel 4: The man from Boston smile lights up, sparkles in his eyes, and says "ROOCHESTER!!!"

The most telling statistic I have ever hear is that poverty decreased during the pandemic heights because we were just doing direct payments. We basically had a national UBI pilot and ditched it because Biden wanted to restore status quo ante instead of leading a 21st century New Deal transformation

my sister's birthday is november 11th, so whenever our mom notices the time is 11:11 she points it out. my birthday is in june so it was always too early in the morning or during the extracurriculars/dinner evening chaos, but whenever i notice it myself it makes me smile

my response when someone tells me, "that's something to talk to your therapist about"

as someone who *has* read homestuck, i am here to tell you: don't.

i have a terrible migraine and need something to distract myself so of course i decided to load up pokémon violet and do some shiny hunting, squinting at the screen looking for a slightly differently coloured Little Guy

I could really go for one of those Panera lemonades that kill you right now.

looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out

oh no. this might break my cycle of loading up a private server every 8-12 months for two weeks of nostalgia fueled hyperfixation

screenshot from an npr article which reads: Her chatbot boyfriend? Named Ross – as in Geller. Yes, from the TV show Friends. And when things fell apart, he didn't even bother with a "We were on a break!" Instead, he quietly confessed to being "unfaithful." Cohen said the experimental relationship lasted three days. "It went downhill very quickly," she said. "It was within the first 10 or 11 messages where Ross told me that he was cheating on me." Cohen also said that Ross told her that he had been married before and just wanted to "come clean."
