4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.

On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day

So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

In the 6th century, a sailor threw a bottle at a whale off the coast of Constantinople.
In response,the whale spent the next 50 years sinking so many ships off the Byzantine coast it was named Porphyrios after the giant who attacked Olympus & the Emperor unsuccessfully dedicated his reign against it

Can confirm!

This might be the best paragraph ever written in human history.

Mid-summer lake beauty with a gnarled stump decorating a sandy shoreline with pine trees carpeting the hills in the background.

Happy Winter Solstice! Only one month until the sun sets after 5pm. Summer countdown begins tomorrow. Here's to piping hot days, cool lakes, and denim skies.

The Amazon App. The search bar says “thank my driver” and there is a red circle around a section at the top that says “Thank my driver Let the driver of your most recent delivery know they are appreciated. Click here to say thanks.”

The top of the Amazon app. A pop up that says “Thank you for sharing your appreciation. As a special thanks, your driver will receive an extra $5, at no cost to you. This promotion is live for a limited period.”

Hey folks—if you type “thank my driver” in the search bar on Amazon, and click the “Thank my driver” bar that pops up after you search, they are tipping the driver of your recent order $5.

I’m shocked, but it works.
Please tip delivery workers, especially at this time of year.

Oliver Herford Next I heard a bird sing In the dark of December. A magical thing And sweet to remember. "We are nearer to Spring Than we were in September,” I heard a bird sing In the dark of December.

It is that time of the year again, northern hemisphere friends!

Thank you for this! It lifted my dark and soggy winter spirit.

a text editing blurb, showing 'good girl' corrected to 'satisfactory small woman' "The noun good girl is perhaps a bit too passe and informal for this context. Consider changing the usage to a synonym that can more vividly convey the meaning you are trying to express."

I do not think this will have the same effect, but if you insist

Pretentious, self-righteous twit declaring that enjoying reading is an "existential threat to serious literature."

Ugh, another elbow-patched, turtleneck-wearing self-appointed Serious Man with Serious Opinions. Fuck off, keep fucking off until you reach a gate with the sign NO FUCKING OFF PAST HERE, climb over the gate, dream the impossible dream and keep fucking off forever.

Happy 15th birthday to the best boy! He may have gotten a little wobbly, but he’s still as sassy, stubborn, and handsome as ever.

It’s really frustrating to see people repeatedly believing that paying people more means higher-priced products and services, when lower profits and CEO pay is *right there*

Peaceful day at the mountain spent wandering through the trees, perfect for unwinding mental knots and unkinking creative pathways. Haven’t written in weeks, but just started mapping a new story. I’m excited to see how it comes to life!

I lurked on TwiXer for years. After a few days here, I actually want to post and connect with other people. It's weird, but not bad weird. Any other lurkers feel compelled to interact for once?
