A heartfelt "fuck you" to everyone who told me I was overreacting in November 2016.

The Real Housewives franchise is the pinnacle of reality TV, and the Housewives also uncannily predict America’s future 🔮

Recently, via a series of strange events, I moved to Warsaw’s Muranów neighborhood - since today is the 82nd anniversary of the beginning of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, here are some photos of the memorial I took on a walk. Today, this neighborhood’s tragic history feels hauntingly present.

They get hurt and get hard.
No poem or play or song
Can fully right a wrong
Inflicted and endured.

An insane decision by the State Department to terminate the Title VIII program, which has allowed American students to study the languages of Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia – all essential for foreign policy, intelligence, the military and not least a better informed citizenry.

The whole “have you even said ‘thank you’ once” thing made me shiver - total narcissistic behavior.

Ratatouille but it's world war 1 and the rats are all incredibly skilled marksmen and the humans they ride as steeds are merely cannon fodder for sniper duels between them

they are stealing data from the american people and depriving us of the transparency that we are entitled to by law. none of this is legal and not a single federal employee has any reason to comply.

my post: onion caramelization will continue until morale improves reply: That's a flippant solution to addressing systemic issues. Morale can't be improved by relying on a short-term fix that disregards the root causes of employee dissatisfaction.

Fantastic question tbh

twas the night before christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring. the risotto was ruined

A small humanoid figure made of a light blue blanket with a Panama hat on top. It’s in a living room.

Eating cheese to avoid a hangover this holiday season ‘cuz I read it in a clickbait article.

Two chubby orange cats recline on a wooden table (one is on top of a white pillow). They gaze at the camera steadily, looking a little affronted.
